Hey everyone, it's me Wolfwood. Nicholas D. Wolfwood if you're new.
So, here's the deal. The church I bought has a problem. It came with a bunch of religious texts inside of it, and while that's...you know. What you'd expect in a church, these ones are like
super fuckin culty.
Not exactly what I asked for. Not that I asked for them at all. I keep trying to get rid of them but they keep showing up again later so
Basically Im gonna be burning them again this evening if anybody wants to come to the bonfire, or help me in getting rid of them cause theres a shit ton. Bring marshmallows or whatever, I dont care.
and before someone comes preaching to me about burning books, again: its cult propaganda bullshit. read it for yourself if you dont believe me
just make sure you chuck it in the fire afterwards or ill do it myself.
Church | Evening
[Should you choose to come to the Church later that evening for whatever reason, you'll find the Priest himself already hard at work setting up a pyre in the yard just outside of it. (Just look for the massive bound cross propped up nearby, you can't miss it.) With the way he loads up the firepit he's created with kindling, it's clear he's already had to do this once before. It's a bit tricky to find anything dry given that the snow is still on the ground in a lot of places, but he's making do with what he's got. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Beyond getting the fire going, there's a matter of getting the aforementioned books out of the church. It's just as Wolfwood described, should you grow curious and crack one open. They're very religious, but strangely...plant focused. Like it's a religion that revolves around the Forest itself, almost. Definitely nothing orthodox about this, that's for sure. There are quite a number of them to take care of as they've all refilled the church pews since the last time he did this.
Or, perhaps you're just here because you think bonfires are cool and want to simply enjoy yourself for a change. The Forest seems to have had its fun with the animal race given that everyone's back to normal at this point, so really, why not kick back and enjoy the warmth of the flames while it isn't sub-zero temperatures outside anymore?
Feel free to mingle...or don't. Perhaps the distant unease in the atmosphere is enough to stop you.]

Because in truth, Phantom wasn't entirely certain if he could deal with that doom that they were possibly inviting with this event, once it manifested itself beyond a mere shadow cast upon their gathering.
Even so, he was trying to believe that. And...it was most certainly easier to do so - to fool himself into believing - with a likeminded person by his side. ]
...Ah. My apologies. It was...an old habit of mine. [ He could tell the failed attempt at humour, although he...was bad at comforting others. Thus, the Feline simply sent the other a knowing glance, perhaps a little awkwardly so. ] Although most people tend to take my words as a metaphor. But...I apologise if it makes you feel even more uneasy.
[ At least he tried, and the apologies were sincere. He nodded at what Vash said next. ]
Yes. Well...he is a small, catlike animal. I could draw him for you, if I have another piece of paper with me other than that notebook — erm, the one we used to communicate with each other. Let me try to describe him for you... [ He's not very good with words, unless he's putting on an act — for example, being 'Phantom' instead of Lucian. ]
...He's about this large. [ He makes a vague gesture with his hands: a small animal, as he'd stated, as large as a grown, average cat. ] Has a...white flower growing from one of his ears, and his gray fur felt a little bit more like moss than a cat's. He smells a bit like mushrooms, too. Usually, he would climb to my shoulder and tag along ever since he broke into my room in the inn, but tonight...well, I could not find him.
[ Not that he had a bad feeling about it or anything. Perhaps the little guy was simply bored. ]
He is called Raoul. At least, I have taken to call him that. Have you, perhaps, seen him?
no subject
[That was what they were called, right? The small creatures that incorporated the organic parts of the forest? He'd seen a few here and there, attracted to spaces like the high eaves of the Church and other such places. He'd seen a lot, but he can't recall having seen one specifically like that.
Which means he gives Phantom the most guilty of guilty dog looks. As if it's somehow his fault.]
Afraid I haven't really seen much. Though I haven't really had a mind for tiny things.
[His brain is focused on the bigger picture. The bigger, flaming picture of book burning and oppressive shadows closing in. Vash finds himself chewing on his lip idly. He cranes his neck as if to search the trees for said missing cat creature but...]
I can keep an eye out. But I... don't think I can promise much, tonight.
