[You're in your barn! That doesn't seem so bad--oh, oh wait, you're in the air.

Your barn, and honestly some of your stuff, is just floating on clouds. You can walk on the clouds too if you want, no one's stopping you. You will not, however, be able to return to the ground, far, far below you, no matter what you do.

At least not til the Ritual is complete.

Floating among everything else is your priest, who seems to have fallen into a deep sleep, and the barn's crystal flower.

After a moment, you hear voices resonating from the crystal flower--the holy beasts, their voices and minds melded as one, call out to you.

It asks your Flock 3 simple questions.]

[his lips twitch]

Just having the same reaction as you, only I'm not afraid to say fuck.

[he's teasing]

[survivaltricks]

Hey, don't think of me as a coward. I can say fuck as much as I want.

Watch— [oh my god please do not repeat the word fuck a billion times Lupin]

[leonheartedly]

[oh my god Lupin]

. . .

You sound like a little kid being given permission to curse for the first time.

[survivaltricks]

[makes eye contact]

[glasses flash]

[INHALES DEEPLY—]

Ffffffffff—

[leonheartedly]

[raises both eyebrows in challenge like, DO IT]

[survivaltricks]

. . . it's no fun if you're encouraging me. . .

[then he is just saying fuck to say fuck and not stick it to the man :/]

[leonheartedly]

[you picked the wrong man to stick it to silly]

It's still funny.

[survivaltricks]

[sticks out his tongue!]

Yeah, yeah. . . we should probably focus.

[leonheartedly]

[sticks his out back!!]

Probably.

Can't say I like how those questions are worded.

[survivaltricks]

Me neither.

So let's ignore the wording and answer in our own way.

[leonheartedly]

So, proceed as normal.

[survivaltricks]

[a sharp grin]

From the beginning to the end.

[leonheartedly]

Heh.

I'd think it would go without saying, but violence is the last thing you'd use.

[survivaltricks]

[. . . nods]

I think. . . what I told Loki is my answer to that one.

I'd do nothing, because it isn't up to me whether they stay or not.

[leonheartedly]

[nods in agreement]

It's not in the end.

. . . though I do get that sometimes you have to fight things out.

[survivaltricks]

Oh. Absolutely.

[how many times has he thrown hands at Loki. . .]

But that's different.

[leonheartedly]

That's different. That's to work things through.

. . . second one, I like what you and Odin said.

[survivaltricks]

Mmm. . . yeah.

But a little of what Loki said, too. About how having a heart changed can be life-saving.

[leonheartedly]

Right, I liked that part too. Literally or figuratively.

[survivaltricks]

Yeah.

[a tiny smile]

So let's definitely include it.

[leonheartedly]

Let's.

. . . do you know your answer for the last one?

[survivaltricks]

I do.

[he answers without hesitation]

. . . what do you think my answer is?

[shortforever]

[Do it do it]

[survivaltricks]

[he would but it's no fun to curse when he can do it so freely, gosh :/]

[shortforever]

[It is ABSOLUTELY fun to cuss whenever you can.
