Doctrine of Exposure | Video | UN: The One Who Waits

[the_one_who_waits]

[It is 3am when the video goes live. At first it is dark wherever this is taking place. The camera moves through a dark wide open hall. The arms of a stone statue, outstretched, can be seen for only a moment. That is until it turns to a doorway. Light slices through the darkness like a blade as the camera moves in to show two figures hunched together in front of an open refrigerator.

One is the Lamb, who is chewing and eating some sort of meat from a container.

The other is the Goat, eating moldy strawberries out of a plastic container.

Both look over at the same time, their eyes almost glowing in the darkness. The light on the camera flashes as the video saves a picture of the two together, staring at the one who has caught them late night/early morning snacking.

The Goat hisses.]

It is 3 hours past the witching hour. The Lamb is devouring monster meat. The Goat is eating moldy strawberries. These are our leaders.

[Narinder's tone is deadpan and clearly tired.]

[The Goat SCREAMS.]

[The Lamb stares with an expression that can only be read as ?????? in facial form and munches faster.]

THE SOUNDS OF YOUR HOOVES WOKE ME UP!

[Narinder screams back and ends the video.]

((OOC: Responses can and will come from Narinder, the Goat, and the Lamb.))

Don't lots of people eat monster meat?

[Rinku sleepily scratches her head. Wait, why is she outside with a weird little guy floating behind her?]

--Wait, mouldy? You could have asked a Summer to fix them! I use the reverse-rot skill on our food all the time!

Re: un:happyaround

[the_one_who_waits]

The meat is not the concern.

Yes. With mold on them. Is that one of the more simple curses to learn or one of the more complex?

[roundandaround]

It was easier to learn than making things rot more, but harder than the easy ones like little shapeshifts or making fire. So... hmm. I'd say in the middle!

[WHAT IS AMARI DOING UP THIS LATE? Don’t worry about it. She leans close to the screen, bleary eyed. Her hair is all over the place. If she realized this was a video she’d probably die of embarrassment.]

Are those… managers? Your managers?

[Look. Look okay she comes from a world where cute little animal mascots with personality defects named after the animal they are (like Lamb or Goat, for instance!) work as idol producers! She’s just making the logical conclusion here!!!]

Re: Video; UN: hystericbunny

[the_one_who_waits]

They are our gods. Leaders of the cult.

[He says it simply and as if he was confirming yes, indeed, they are managers.]

What is a managers?

1/2

[itaidol]

“Manager”? It’s like, uh, someone who oversees someone else in a job.

Those two look like the idol managers back in PriPara! Well, kind of, anyway. Were they ever that big? A-And you said their names were Goat and Lamb, so I just assumed…

[itaidol]

[Hang on a second]

—Wait did you say cult???

Why would you have a goat and a sheep as your leaders to begin with? Barn animals tend to be noisy and messy and eat some of the grossest stuff no matter how cute they are when you ignore all that.
Not to mention soooo smelly.

[the_one_who_waits]

They are our gods. The Lamb is the God of Death.

And only the Goat smells.

[shamtagonist]

Huh, so the guys up top here aren't afraid of summoning gods, huh?

[With how much the native gods he's witnessed before fought just amongst themselves he can't imagine how they would have reacted had they grabbed gods from a different universe and brought them to their own. It's weird to think about.]

And you're not afraid of shaming them or yelling at them! That's pretty refreshing.
₍՞◌′ᵕ‵ू◌₎
All of the cultists I've ever met were brainless followers who would have kissed their hooves in thanks for waking them up and would have hoped they could have even just a moldy seed from those moldy strawberries to eat if it'd bring them closer to their god.

Though I don't think most of them would have dared living with their gods either. Are you their caretaker or something?

[castaside]

Maybe you need different roommates. Definitely different leaders. [ Who would eat moldy fruit when there's an abundance of options? ]

Re: video un: 六耳獼猴

[the_one_who_waits]

The Temple is where I remain. And considering replacing them is blasphemy.

[Even with THESE two being his leaders and gods, he will not blaspheme.]

Re: video un: 六耳獼猴

[castaside]

Eating moldy fruit is blasphemy if you ask me.

I have better stuff. Lots of strawberries. [ They grow a zillion of them for Choco and Wash reasons. ] If you want any for your leaders.

[bleatingdeath]

*well someone was TRYING to be quiet but their shadow counterpart joined them in the late night snacking so they just point at the Goat to blame them while shoveling more of the food into their mouth like a starving, broke college student*

[andiscream]

[Bitch, the Goat was as quiet as a mouse!!! They will also point with the hand not holding the strawberries at the Lamb, because it's totally their fault!

Before the Goat shoves more strawberries into their maw.]

[bleatingdeath]

*the point off BEGINS...before they get distracted by the food in their other hand and try to gobble it down in case someone wants to take it from them*

[the_one_who_waits]

...Why are you like this? Must I focus on learning to remove rot from food?

[the_one_who_waits]

[Narinder looks from the Lamb to the Goat and back again.]

Be that as it may. ...What are you wearing under that tunic?

[bleatingdeath]

*still shoveling food in their mouth in case you try to take it away from them*

...nothing? I was sleeping before this.

Leaders of what exactly? A herd?

Re: text; un: theworldsucks

[the_one_who_waits]

A cult.

un: abnormalitylover, video

[abnormalizes]

Do you not have enough food that they're resorting to eating moldy food?

Re: un: abnormalitylover, video

[the_one_who_waits]

We have plenty of food. And fresh vegetables and berries.

[rogue_sec_unit]

Gross. I didn't think gods would be doing that.

[ SecUnit thinks both eating and eliminating waste are disgusting things that humans do pretty regularly. ]

Re: text, UN: Eden

[the_one_who_waits]

Yet here they are. At least the Lamb consumes food not yet touched by rot.

Unlike some.
