Who: The Cosmic Serpent and You
What: :)
When: Towards the end of their time on the beach. But not before they leave!
Where: The beach!
Warnings: implied something got eaten by a dragonshark
At some point in the summer night, the tide does not come in and flood the caves. The sky is clear, unclouded with only the moonlight gleaming in the dark. In the distance there is a loud rumbling noise, and those familiar with the sounds of the coast can tell a lot of water is moving, churning even, towards the Cosmic Serpent's cove.
Before anything can be done, however, something shoots across the sky. The Cosmic Serpent itself seems to swim through the air as if it is the sea it was born in, glowing always with it's gold and silver and nebula-like hues. Water drips from it's body and showers the shore and the forest beneath it in a colorful rain that does not stop even after the the Serpent has flown from view, though once it is gone the colors seem to fade.
Those caught in the rain will notice that the rain water feels cool and soothing. Those suffering corruption will feel it fading, however, as if it is washing away the suffering. Maybe even some of you will find yourself cured entirely.
The rain continues through the night, and at some point past midnight the tide finally seems to come. Good luck!

Dipper will recognize the shape of her head and her main fins to be that of a nurse shark. This does not mean he does not have teeth.
Child. You seek me out. Why?
no subject
Despite this, he lingers on the edges of the water, near where it no longer turns into a cove and opens up into the sea. It's always best to ensure personal safety before jumping in, after all.
no subject
What have you to ask?
no subject
"Forgive me for disturbing you. I witnessed your flight, and your return, and I couldn't help but notice what looked like blood... Are you alright?"
no subject
I am unharmed. A group of mortals far beyond this forest's reach were polluting a sister sea, pouring toxins and poisons into the waters to avoid their responsibility and to further their greed.
I have slaughtered them and sent warning to their city.
Which is to say, it was not my blood.
no subject
"I see. I am glad to hear that you are unharmed. Are you the guardian of all seas, then, if you are taking time to travel such a distance?"

"Great serpent, I must ask... The creature in the forest has been given a name. He has taken to personally tormenting those in my home, to the point of physical and mental violence in their sleep, when they are least able to defend themselves. I don't know what to do-- I cannot help them, I have no magic that can help them. I beg of you - is there anything that you can do? If you are able to help, I will do anything in my power to aid you."
no subject
... I do not know. But I will try. Give me a moment, I must think.
no subject
"Yes, of course. Please, take all the time you need."
no subject
How many in your house? I have not offered a blessing before. I do not know if I can do this again.
no subject
"Not counting myself, there are four. And there is one other who does not currently live with us that I would like to protect as well, if it is possible. He is... a very dear friend."
no subject
The Cosmic Serpent grumbles. It looks as if he is looking down in thought, before raising it's head once more.
It will... take time. I will make six blessings. But that is all. I will deliver them to the house of sugar when they are ready. I am... sorry. For the time it will take.
no subject
"Thank you. Truly, take as much time as you need. I am aware that it is a large request. And, if you need anything from me, I will gladly return the favor."
no subject
... Well, they will, but still.
no subject
... This rain...
( ... is wack. or more seriously speaking, strange. it doesn't seem to heal the stains of her black magic, no, but it eases a lingering pain. the multicolor droplets are clearly imbued with something... )
... Samples- we should collect samples!

It feels …nice? It feels nice. Its very refreshing but more than normal rain.
no subject
( speaking of the samples though, she's running to heimr's for some jugs real quick. brb! )

( there is a girl most of you have seen, but some haven't. legs of wood, like a ball-jointed doll. a carnation where there should be an eye. vines and leaves and flowers sprouting from her skin, making chains and leashes in the form of jewelry, almost. even a flower crown, like god's specialest princess!
as she stands in the rain, eye closed, her legs shake. she digs her feet into the sand, even. and as the rain falls, more and more of the little flowers along her arm fall off. the chains seem to wilt. it's not enough. especially with the forest screaming at her to get back into the cave, don't let the water touch her, but- she's doing her best. and for the first time in a long time, she can breathe a bit easier. )

[ Vanilla's voice is soft, watching the rain wash away petals with his eyes wide open. The strings slacken, snipped here or there. Every exhale taking with it a blackness. But there is still so much. Her souls is still stuck, bound.
He remembers, that first month, how she enjoyed the hug and once he has her attention, he opens his arms, his smile soft. Come hug Peepaw, he missed you. ]
no subject
... Pure Vanilla...?
( as he comes closer, he may see how badly her legs are shaking. like it's taking every ounce of her strength to not run. she wants to stay. she wants to be in the rain. even trying to take a step to him feels dangerous. )
... It's trying to move my legs, so that I'll have to hide...
no subject
Even now, you refuse to let her go...
[ He sighs softly, focuses. He can't heal like the rain can but maybe he can guide it, nudge it, gather it to let it flow through her better. ]
cw body horror
--get out of the rain--
STOP-
DON'T GO-
DON'T LEAVE ME-
STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP STOP I LOVE YOU DON'T DO THIS DON'T LET HIM DO THIS
the fallen sun's voice screams in her head as pure vanilla takes the lead, guides the holy rain. nene closes her eye and lets it all happen.
it's almost like a reverse tug-of-war. the fallen sun trying to hold on and push more of his blight in, while pure vanilla guides magic imbued with the sun, the moon and the stars-
but one lost against the other once long ago. and... though it screams it's fury and grief into both of their minds, pure vanilla will see more of it's power waning. more flowers drop to the ground. vines wither.
nene falls to the ground with a startled shriek because it was only suri holding her fucking legs on. so. uh. now you have to deal with that- )
nenes legs :(
The scream in his head makes him grimace, but he doesn't stop. He can see it giving way. More of that brilliant light shine through the hold on her. He's not expecting the sudden dead weight as she drops from her legs no longer being attached, inhaling sharply as he closes his eyes and his Staff opens and he sees- ]
Oh! Oh, Nene, hold on!
[ He doesn't know if he can heal that, if she's in pain, but he will push some healing in anyways, just to make sure. Move himself to scoop her back up and into his arms, hold her to his chest in a princess hold so he can investigate. He feels cold, what did he do, if she begins to unravel because of this- because she was being held together by bits of corruption- ]
no subject
I knew it! I knew they were his entirely!
no subject
They... were his?
[ He took her legs and made her new ones? Or did his corruption consume hers entirely.
Why? Why why why? He exhales slowly and hugs her. ]
Are you in pain?
