[Night of the Ram]

All over Fayren: Forests, beaches, lakes, fields

Video
[An elegant man with long pink hair appears on the network. He was wearing what seems to be that of a monk attire with a red sash. However, today is quite unusual. He proudly expands his bat-like leathery wings and he has hard as diamond horns curled on the side of his head like that of a ram, his eyes a glow of magenta.]

"Hello everyone. Nothing interesting to say here. I think the horns on my head is heavy. I think I do look quite dashing, don't you think? I hope you all enjoying yourselves tonight." [He smirks, because probably most are not enjoying their predicament.] "If you feel down because of the changes, maybe I can cheer people up with a song and if nobody else is doing anything interesting tonight, I don't mind company over a good drink."

[He smiles serenely into the video and shows he has a silver flute on hand. In the background, there's a field of a herd of sheep and goats gathered together as a flock, the sounds of their bleating and the sight of them grazing on the green grass. To start the evening, he plays a simple song, and his herd of sheep and goats follows him wherever he goes all over the country side of Fayren under the moonlight at night.]

[OOC: Being a demon for a week. As for Sin inducement, he can give bad advice...or good! The herd of sheep and the goats on the field and follows him as an entourage are actually docile, friendly, and very hugable.]

[Leanne was hating everything right now. First was the huge call to water and then when she finally entered the water, she found that she was naked. As of right now, she was in the lakes of Fayren and she hears Mu's post. Ikki has only been training and a lot lately but at least he cones home at night. A part of her wondered if he transformed into anything.]

I think I would rather have my old self back.

[She spoke after moving unto the shore and using her hair to try and cover herself.]

Mu caught her message on his device and wondered what it means. When she approached on the shore, a baby lamb wandered off from the herd and approached her, and bleated at her curiously.

When Mu noticed the lamb wandered off, he followed. At a distance, he couldn't tell who that was, but upon a closer look and saw who it is, "Lady Leanne? Is that you?" He turned his back, embarrassed.

"I assure you, I didn't see anything!" Just that her long hair covered her up. "How did you end up here?"

Leanne blinks at the sound of the lamb and reaches over to pet it. So cute! It was so cute and she giggles as she pets it. But then she hears Mu's voice and lets out a small squeak and quickly jumps back into the water.

"Please dont look, my lord Mu!" She quickly swimmed under the water, everything felt right when she is under the water. She eventually pops her head back up above the water's surface. "I started to change on my way to work and I had to enter the water."

The lamb got curious and followed her, peering into the water. Where did she go? Why she disappeared? There she is again when her head popped up from the surface, and the lamb bleated at her, wanting more pets...but she's far away from the shore.

Mu really sympathize with her situation and sensed her distress. If this were Athena...his first reaction as his duty as a saint always come first is to protect her honor.

"I wasn't! Did anybody know you're here...? What happened?"

Leanne can hear the sheep's bleat and goes to swim closer just in case it decides to swim to her.

She frowns and goes to quickly head back under the water, hating just how exposed she is before resurfacing.

"I.... I am glad then. No one then is seeing my shame right now." She sighs and holds out a webbed hand towards the lamb. "Darling.... Darling should know I am here. I pray that he will at least know where I am." Offering all the pets towards the lamb.

"I do not know. My wings vanished and all I could desire was to be in the water. Like I couldn't be complete unless I was in the water."

So Ikki doesn't know where she is currently. Meanwhile, the lamb keeps bleating, looking at the water, and dipped its head for a drink. But otherwise, the poor baby can't swim...and stood where it's at by the shore.

Mu is the first to discover her then. "I see." Mu at heart is a saint first and foremost. Even with the demonic traits and temperament, it was...a weak influence at most, and the purity and strength of his cosmos over-ride the changes his transformation brings. The wings and horns is just an aesthetic. He didn't want anyone else to see her shame. "It's a curse. People on the network spoke of it. It's temporary for a week. Best we can do is wait for it to pass and the curse will go away by itself."

"I'll see if I can get you a towel and some clothes. There's an inn nearby where I can go fetch some for you. If you can wait here, I can get what you need." Then with some afterthought. "If this happened to you at work, the same happened to me as well. Do you want anything to eat? I can fetch something for you to eat while I make a run to the inn."

She couldn't help but to frown as the poor baby cannot swim. The bleating was such a cute sound and she wanted to answer the call. But not at the cost of her shame.

Her eyes blink as he goes to explain the curse and she dips under the water to appear closer to him. "I see... So I will be stuck like this for a week?" She frowns as she doesn't think she can work while under this curse. The influence and the urges it was giving her. "I shall pray that it passes sooner rather than later."

She blinks again and quickly shakes her head. "But I can't have you do that! You shouldn't be using money on one as myself. I can remain hiding within these waters." A brief pause. "And eat what is on the bottom."

"For a week or so I heard." He said. "We'll just have to wait and see."

Shaking his head, "I don't mind since I'm not sure what to do with money. Other than to pay for a room at the inn and for clothes."

But since she refused. "All right, but if it's too difficult, I'll do what I can to assist you. It's the least I can do for Ikki too. But if there isn't anything edible at the bottom, let me know. I might be able to find something at the market."

Then with a thought, "Both you and Ikki are my friends and Ikki is a comrade who saved a lot of lives back home. So the least I can do is to repay the honor in kind."

She goes to let out a long. "It seems like it. I shall continue to offer prayers to Ashuera so we can be free sooner."

A smile appears on her face. "You should use to it pay for yourself and your needs. I have found seaweed so I can live off of it while I am like this. But I do thank you for the kind offer, my lord Mu."

She then looks back towards the lamb and swims towards it, finally moving semi out of the water so that she can pet and cuddle it.

"Darling would most likely protest any repayment. I am just his wife, all the honor should go to him and not towards one as myself." All the sheep pets and cuddles cause THE WATER IS COLD AND SHE IS COLD!

"My needs are already met. As a Saint, there isn't much that I want or need. I only live to serve others."

Mu is hiding behind the tree, so he doesn't see anything. Meanwhile, the lamb greeted her and happily bleated. With both of their psychic powers temporarily gone they would have used it easily to read the lamb's gender. Luckily, the lamb is a girl, and she happily comes to Leanne for all the pettings and cuddling, and with her wool provided the warmth.

"The both of you should accept help or assistance. Even if it's a form of money or time. That's what friends are for."

Leanne goes to let out a contented sigh as the lamb happily goes to warm her up. "I do not have many needs myself. I dare not be even more selfish than I already am."

And she is grateful that My isn't peeking right now.. "And as a Saint.. No a Gold Saint, you yourself deserves to be selfish and have more desires, my lord Mu."

She giggles as warmth goes through her. "Especially Darling. He is the one who should accept it the most. My life is used only to serve and take care of others. My people back home needs me to always be their provider and protector."

"I don't have any selfish desires. There's a saint back home named Virgo Shaka, a comrade, a colleague, and close friend of mine and also a Gold Saint. He spent his entire life teaching his students and himself to rise above ego and set aside our desires as part of the spiritual path, in order to reach Nirvana, a place that many people call it Heaven. But for us, it's a practice to fine tune our Cosmos. Because of his teachings, some of us think he's the reincarnation of Buddha."

With a nod, he doesn't know much of the Phoenix Saint, other than he's a passionate warrior of Athena, and just like most of her Saints, they are devoted to serve her and carry out her ideas of love and justice to protect the world and humanity. He remembered him when he repaired the armors of Seiya and his friends. And that he had been in this world for quite a while just like her.

"Well, if you're cold, I can start a fire if you like." After all, the climate of Fayren can be October chilly and he figured the water is just as cold. Even if he looks like a demon, it's cold for him as he was human.

"Selfish desires can not be just limited objects or possessions. Shaka.... I heard of him before." The memory was a little fuzzy but she could recall Ikki talking about the strange Gold Saint.

She sighs and keeps a hold on the lamb before forcing herself to let go. She couldn't stay on the land and she can't do a cruel thing and drag it under the water. She moves to just lay down on the sandy beach of the lake, her tail idly swaying in the water. It was a multi colored tail which scales reflected in the moonlight.

At the mentioning of a fire she pauses a moment. Oh yeah, he doesn't know of her fear of fire. "I will be fine... This little one is keeping me warm and I dare not move too far from the water."

The lamb stays with her, sensing the other human is very cold. "Hm. All right. As you wish."

Still, despite Leanne protested that he shouldn't get her anything, for as long she stayed in that spot, Mu then disappeared off...

In the meanwhile, some of the more curious sheep and goats come a little closer to Leanne, grouping around her, and they keep her warm too if she lets them come close to her.

Mu return back to her...with a dress that most of the Fayren women locals wear, just about her size, along with a tower of towels and a blanket. "These are for you."

And Mu started a campfire to light up the spot. Despite she didn't want a fire, the fire does help light up the darkness of the night. "It's late. Ikki must be worried about you. If you need to make a call, you should call him."

Leanne closes her eyes as the lamb stays by her side, warming her with it's wool. "I do wish..."

And she will forever protest. If anyone was the one to provide clothing then it should be her! She doesn't notice Mu disappearing into the night as she is surrounded by sheep and goats. So many wooly animals, it made her happy.

Leanne jumps a little as Mu comes back with a dress and so many towels and blankets. Emerald eyes blink and she goes to look up in surprise at him. "My lord Mu! You shouldn't have!" Now she feels guilty but goes to slip the dress on.

It was when he started the fire that she saw what he looked like. "I will, especially since he hasn't come yet." She looks and memorizes all the things he purchased. "I will pay you back. Just... Let me know how much they cost."

So many cute soft wooly animals making cute bleating sounds and they huddled together with her to keep her warm. With the dress and towels, she can now be comfortable and enjoy them while being dry as the fire helps.

He was busy with the fire, so he didn't see anything. His back was turned to her. He has a pair of bat-like wings protruding out of his back, but he has such long pink hair. As the fire got bigger, space they shared gotten warmer.

"The cost...? Hmm, I would say your friendship will do. And if you can abstain from drinking to the best that you can, that will be my asking price."

The cuteness was almost over powering. So many cute, soft and warm wooly animals. Leanne just goes to watch Mu as he takes care of the fire.

"I am a little jealous that you have wings and I don't. I miss them." She chuckles out before sighing.

She blinks at his cost and she goes to shake her head. "You already have my friendship, my lord Mu. As for the drinking. I only do it to chase the nightmares away. Darling usually takes care of that for me."

"I pray that you have your wings back when the curse is over. As for these wings..." He sighs as he gives his wings give a little flutter. "I found them unsightly."

The fire becomes hot and glowing, the warmth it brings is a welcoming one. "I see. I know I'm asking a lot, but I was concerned because all of that drinking can make you sick." He said. "Nightmares...?"

"Did you have dinner yet? Here, I bought one for you from the inn too. I was wondering if you had something to eat." He gave her a dinner box. "It's a vegetarian curry over rice." Yep, the sheep love Indian curry. "One for you and one for me. So be careful, it's spicey, but not overly so."

"Thank you. That is very sweet of you." She blinks as he speaks of his own wings and frowns a little. "Is it because of the creature they are associated with?"

She lets out another sigh and nods her head. "I.. I have been drinking like that for years. Drinking so I can sleep without the nightmares or memories so I could better perform my duties the next day. Also, she I could always be the happy cheery girl that everyone expects me to be." She sighs and nods her head. "Nightmares about the wars, about before the wars and things that happen during it."

She blinks as he mentions dinner and her stomach growls a little. "Truly... Please let me reimburse you for the costs. Even just a little bit." She then giggles at the warning and shakes her head. "I don't mind spicey foods. Though I can barely taste the spice."

"These wings reminds me of the soldiers of Hades that I fought in the Underworld. They had dark and depressing armors with wings that is almost like these wings." He said with a sigh. The soldiers of Hades are such a dreary bunch. "He's the God of the Dead, so that's why this form reminds me of them somewhat..."

Shaking his head, "I understand. I fought in the wars of the Gods, and for Athena, the Goddess of War. I can't tolerate drink that well. I'm just afraid for the both of you. Too much drink will kill you, but you and Ikki shouldn't be carry so much weight on your backs." The nightmare of wars is always a burden and one as a soldier of Athena knows too well, and that's why Mu is concern for the both of them.

Leanne noooo. Just take the delicious curry please. Sheep doesn't need money. "Leanne, please. It's an honor. It's not a lot of spice, I assure you. It doesn't have peppers in it." A part of him, he hopes she likes it. It's not everyday he gets to share his meals with anyone except with Kiki.

"I see... I can see why such wings would be a burden to you then. Especially since they usually belong to his soliders." She sighs out, still cuddling all the wooly animals.

"But they are ours to bear. I must be strong enough to carry not only my own but also strong enough for Ikki to trust me enough to help him with his burdens." She is too weak, that has the be the reason why Ikki doesnt trust her enough. She hated it. Hated it so much. "You get more tolerate the more you drink."

But! She feels guilty if she takes it! But she does since she is hungry. "But still... I dont wish to be greedy or selfish." And not a proper royal. She goes to take a bite and smiles. "Wonderful... It tastes wonderful... Thank you, Mu."

So much warm sheep to hug and huddle with. "Not so much as your own, I believe." He said. "After all these aren't mine to begin with." Hopefully the demonic look goes away on it's and it's temporary.

"I don't drink on principle. It clouds the mind." He could sense that the both of them has gotten lost somehow on their journey. But Ikki's mind is clouded by his own weakness. "I was taught by Shaka, the Virgo saint, that one's mind must be clear and rise above the senses to reach the highest level of our Senses to utilize our cosmos for battle." Gold Saints are something else, but all of them reach beyond the 6th, 7th, and 8th sense to push their cosmos to the limit.

"You see, most of my powers are mental and requires pure thought. No distractions. If someone drinks, that's an addiction and a distraction." He said. "But I can take a shot or two but I stop at that." He turns to a rock, and just by looking it, he lifts the heavy rock up in the midair easily...and then slowly lowers the rock back down to the Earth. A demonstration of his powers. To Leanne, it seems the rock was flying on its own, but Mu used his psychic ability to show what he means that he must make his mind clear.

Shaking his head, "You need to eat to sustain the body. If you're hungry, the body craves to be nourished. So, you're not being greedy or selfish. It is given." And she is still a proper royal to accept his kindness. "And you're welcome."

[ She couldn't help it. The music he was playing sounded absolutely beautiful. She had meant to say something to him, but he started playing this lovely tune and it seems it grabbed her attention much like it did his animal companions, to the point where she started singing along to his playing. ]

[Oh, who is this? A new face. An audience. He stopped playing for a bit and smile, being friendly.]

Hello. Did you enjoy the song?

[ She jumped a little when she realized he was done and actually talking to her. Whoops...! Her cheeks were a little red now. ]

H-hello! yes I did. Your playing was rather beautiful.

[No need to be embarrassed. He appreciates the compliments.]

Thank you for the compliment. Just for that, do you know of any songs? If I know the song, I might be able to play it to repay for your kind words.

I don't really know many typical songs, just the hymns from home.

Home...it seems so far away. But it's best if we remember our own songs so we don't forget.

[Still smiling, somewhat sadly.]

If you still care to listen, I'll play a song from a radio that I heard not too long ago if that's all right with you.

I would absolutely love to listen if you wouldn't mind sharing with me.

Enjoy ourselves? Perish the unholy thought!

Though a drink and some music sounds lovely. Eheh, perhaps in a bowl. I've taken to lapping.

Ah...right. As you say.

[After all, enjoyment is a form of sloth and gluttony. Anyway, taking a pause from playing his flute.

...It's a taking wolf on the video...?]

What happened to you Ted?

[Talking *were*wolf. It's a small, though to him very large, quibble with the wording. Enjoyment's a wonderful thing, but enjoyment of the self? There the devil lurks.]

Picked me out right away, eh? Good eye! To put it concisely, I got a costume. It's tricky, and I can't promise I'll handle a glass with my usual deftness, but if a mess won't ruin you...

Edited 2018-10-28 05:52 (UTC)

[Ted's voice is familiar. Just a bit on the growly, gruff side. And he recognized him, because there isn't a lot of people Mu knows in this world.

Playing along, Mu isn't that all shocked to be honest. He is used to stranger things, and anyway, Ted is still Ted in the inside and to Mu, he's his friend.]

I see. Well, I think your costume is rather nice. I mean, the fur is very realistic.

Do you still care for that drink? It's chilled grape juice. It might be a little too sweet though.

Aheheh, very! Very realistic; almost too much, I fear.

Like you have to ask twice! That sounds lovely; simply ping the address and I'll be over in two shakes of a dog's tail.
