[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.]

Or that of the survivalist, anyway. I'd wonder if this kind of self-sacrifice is the kind of behavior one cultivates growing up in a place where death is just a temporary inconvenience, if I hadn't had the displeasure of being around so many humans.

Re: Question One

[personal profile] wants_the_phd 2024-10-26 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
A family is a group of people, typically related by blood, that work together in pursuit of raising young. A flock is a group of people who share a collar color and live in the same barn. In both cases, the groups may depend on each other for their wellbeing, but they won't necessarily like each other just for those reasons.

What 'matters' has nothing to do with the circumstances that brought you together, whether it was decided for you by supernatural forces or biological ones. What matters is who you care about and want to be around. While you may care about those in your flock or family, you care about them due to the quality of their character and the experiences you've shared, not because of how fate stuck you together through no choice of your own.

Re: Question Two

[personal profile] wants_the_phd 2024-10-26 04:53 am (UTC)(link)
There is no value in a life you're not enjoying. Whether it's brief and flashy, or long and peaceful, what makes a life worth living is if you find it personally fulfilling, not what other people think about it. Who cares if they notice you? Who cares if they find you beautiful? It's not about them. Your life is for chasing your own bliss.
