WHO: Caesar and y'all!
WHERE: Gemini!
WHEN: August 25th
WHAT: time for the prophecy post!
WARNINGS: August's mouth by proxy. Also Caesar's, but not by proxy.

[For anyone who knows Caesar, this is probably the least stressed out he's looked recently when he flips on the video.]

Hey, everyone. Congrats on, uh, all of that this month. Holy shit. [He lets out a bit of a bewildered laugh.] Still kind of feels a bit unreal. Anyway, instead of me aimlessly rambling on about that, let's just cut right to the chase with the prophecies for the coming month.

[He pulls out a notebook.]

August's card this month is the upright Six of Wands, which... represents success and winning, and in his words, "after the bullshit with the Order we need that". Which. Yeah.

[He flips a page in his notebook.]

Jinwoo saw a talking crab? And Cotton has managed to knit an entire wearable mermaid tail. Wolfwood saw a guy in a cornfield. [A beat.] He said something about fist-fighting anyone who started shit in his corn, so please don't do that. What Nito saw sounds like a beauty pageant? I couldn't tell exactly from how he described it. [And what context would he have for one, anyway?] Takame had... what sounded like a rap mostly comprised of Pokemon names? And then... oh, right, Jusis. [Give him a moment to consult his notes again.] Jusis saw... big menacing slime creatures.

And as for me... [He flips to an earlier page in his notebook, on which he's drawn... some kind of vacuum gun?] ... I ended up drawing this fucking thing. Your guess is probably as good as mine here.

If people like, I can probably knit others like this!

[Cotton is here! And wearing the mermaid tail,]

Oh! Though it may take me some time, as a small warning...

and i goddamn mean it i'll peel you and turn you into a new goddamn scarecrow if some sort of monster bullshit starts up in my cornfield

and that's if you don't just immediately turn into mint

So hey! The ghost in my teeth usually sends me images of Problems I Should Solve and it turns out, I got another one that smacks suspiciously of still being in this neck of the woods.

I had a vision... of a fish. It was airborne! There was a nice little splash and some fairly nice looking water, but it's the weirdest image I've ever gotten, y'know? Like. Is it an evil fish? Does the fish do exploitative capitalism? Murder basement? Possibilities abound.

But apparently the fish are sketch as shit.

I'm sure your cornfield won't have any monster bullshit in it.

It's aliens that are drawn cornfields.

[asipofbride]

yeah vash is already here we don't need no more weirdos kickin around

[whiteshroud]

Exactly! Your cornfield already has an alien, so you're fine.

I wonder if he can do crop circles.

Oh. The rap might be us. POKEGO's planning a camping expedition next weekend into Kanto.

I wonder if any of the new apprentice has musical talents.

[asipofbride]

he stretches out pretty big when he feels like flattenin out we could probably slap him on a spinner or something

hell maybe that's how i'll flatten the crops down before next winter--make vash lay down and then herd him up and down the rows with a stick to the ass

[whiteshroud]

Now that's an interesting idea. Probably noisier than a tractor, but definitely more cost efficient.

[asipofbride]

if you compare the price of gas and the price of a dozen donuts it's way cheaper

after a while you tune out the crying

text; i'm so sorry

[thewarriorqueen]

Isn't there some horror story about an evil thing haunting a corn field?

A few minutes, then:

Hang on, are you pretty sure of the beauty pageant thing? Like, it's not something like a prom queen, right?

[whiteshroud]

He gets paid in donuts?

That I know. My father's a similar kind of crier.

[asipofbride]

paid is such an interesting word to use
it's more like 'if I stuff a chunk of donut in his yellin hole he shuts up and chews while I do whatever it is I was doin'

it's a lot like being around a ton of little kids
eventually the silence starts being what spooks you

[whiteshroud]

Oh I see.
Marital life sure sounds like bliss.

That's true. Living in Meropede has taken some adjustment. It's so quiet in comparison, even with the occasional angel invasion.

[asipofbride]

men are easy you just feed 'em and act just a little mean and they think you're 'sassy' and boom
two husbands
or some shit I still don't fully comprehend how I got here I'm shootin' 100 and I didnt even realize I was in a competition

I'm surprised a big metal place like that ain't settling all the time, especially with all the water
Water's so noisy when you're down low in it

We’re not gonna be dealing with gelatinous cubes re-enacting Children of the Corn next month, are we?

[illucesco]

yeah, stephen king wrote one.

think we’re all pretty old for a prom queen competition.

[thewarriorqueen]

Pretty sure he wrote Carrie too, that prom queen scene is pretty iconic.

[illucesco]

carrie was his first book. also now you've mentioned it and now i'm worried someone's prom is going to go to hell. i don't mean that literally no one get any ideas.

[thewarriorqueen]

I just hope we're not in for a bunch of horror story cliches or something.

text; un: midnightfishing

[illucesco]

i'm not gonna lie, still wanna catch it.

[illucesco]

yeah save it for halloween, at least, so it fits a theme.

[thewarriorqueen]

Exactly.

No idea what the rest is about though.

[tonberrykin]

Somebody has to defeat the evil fish before he, idk, kills again!

Personally I'd be 100% down for you being that hero, I'm not big on water.

[illucesco]

at last, my destiny arrives. yes i will take on that evil fish and feed him to my family.

[Attached is a picture of a Pikachu, an Oshawott, a Spheal, and a Bangboo. All of them are resting under a sealskin.]

look at them, they deserve it.

[tonberrykin]

Fäthër they crave the fish, please sate their hüngër.

They deserve so much fish fry!! Look at all the little babies!! Where did you get all these weird dogs? Did you slip a zookeeper ten bucks and steal his otter, a vole of some sort, and a real, real fat seal?

I think the last one might be a short guy in a costume, speaking as another professional short guy.

[illucesco]

working on it!

oh no they’re pokemon! fluvius is the otter (they’re called oshawott where he’s from), fulgur’s the vole aka a pikachu, and litus is the roly-poly seal aka spheal.

no idea what the little guy is beyond “robotic”. gonna call him helius, i think.

[illucesco]

there's nothing really concerning besides the man in the cornfield, so i figure the month'll be a lot more relaxing than the last few months. which is good, because i'd love to sleep for a whole weekend.

[thewarriorqueen]

I sure hope so.

You know you'd probably not need to sleep a whole weekend if you didn't pull so many late nights.

[illucesco]

maybe i just like to sleep, have you ever considered that?

[thewarriorqueen]

And maybe your friends worry about your bad habits.

[whitestonelives]

Cotton, was that what you were working on the entire time? It looks quite lovely.

Re: video

[creamcottonshepherd]

Oh yes!

Well, I'll admit to having a few side projects back at the house of course, but this is what anyone in the building would have seen through the last few weeks. It's very cozy, though I think I need to alter the design somewhat, just so it's a little easier to pull on...

I think it'll be a fantastic thing to have about during winter!

[whitestonelives]

Hm. Well, I wouldn’t say no to knitwear in wintertime. [He loves the winter, but man is it cold out in the middle of it. He hesitates a moment, as if debating with himself whether to say this, before he decides to take the plunge:] And…oh, by the way, do you take commissions? It’s, ah. For someone special. She may also appreciate your knitwear.

[He’s turning red.

He has a girlfriend.]

[creamcottonshepherd]

[Excuse her, there is an absolutely gleeful gasp escaping.] Oh-!

Why, Percy I would love to knit something for her!~

You know, I was learning there's all kinds of things you can knit into pockets for charms and what-not, perhaps I should try this commission thing...

Oh! But Percy dear, if you just tell me what you have in mind you can consider that a gift, no charges! ...truthfully I'll need to think about just what I would charge to begin with, hohoho!
