BIRTHDAYS ARE A RITUAL
[By Your Side]

A small party had ignored the chaos outside the citideal and instead settled into exploring the artist gallery. They happened upon one by the artist "Azathoth." As they entered, they noticed that most of the artpieces were covered in large white sheets. Only the artist, a heaping mass of trash, two avian statues, and a small mirrorer were in the room.

"Heeeeeeero!"

"Hmmm? You've come at a bad time. You know?"

Starry Nights had been looking quizzically at all the trash. Though... she finds the artist themself even more curious.
"There's never a bad time for appreciating art, hm?"
"I don't know if you realize this, but I would say this is a terrible time for appreciating art. Unless you want to enjoy the craftsmanship of these sheets I brought off of Armazon."

"That is right sibling. If you could get your head out of the trash perhaps you would notice this beautiful display… I know these sheets have meaning. Any true connoisseur could tell."
"...why is there sheets on everything?" Hijo peeps, thoroughly confused.
"Ah the blank white sheets, meaning unfinished unnoticed, yet what lies underneath. Hidden art, hidden self. Truly spectacular"
"I thought they were for sleeping? 'w'"
Ambrosia is really trying to see what everyone else is seeing right now.

"Okay well I'm not a connoisseur so to me these all mean nothing. I more meant the giant pile of trash. I assumed it was an unconventional artwork."

"Oh yes, this trash pile here is my next masterpiece! Well, anti-masterpiece!"
"But it's not working too well. I keep seeing joyous forms in the trash where there shouldn't be any."
"I can't even fail correctly!"
"Aaaaaaaaaa....."
"Maybe try... breaking things? Like, pulling apart whatever these...forms are...?"
They're so confused.
"Maybe it might be best to get rid of all the trash???"
They look for extra (unused) trash to make into a small pile.

"Ah joy in what is usually not joyous. A contradiction. Perhaps this is an accident well made. But maybe also you need to find more… dismal pieces of trash to reach what you're aiming."

What the fuck is this guy even talking about.

The notail finds and makes a small pile of trash.

"Everyone will always find joy in something. Even something as cruel as this universe! Mmmaybe you could try uh.... destroying meaning in it instead! That way there isn't any joy to be found if you truly wish to remove it."
"Now I can see a pattern in the mess!"
"Everyone tells me to destroy things but destruction is almost like creation to me. Frankly wouldn't it be more interesting to create something so absurd that you can't figure out what to do with it, but you also find yourself compelled to not pull it apart because it appears to mean something?"
"I can see the struggle. That sounds like a task unobtainable, but yet should be achieved. Perhaps the issue is the inherent pattern of nature itself. Even in chaos you will find the ebb and flow. Even in creation we find ourselves bound by patterns."
"So like.... abstract art...?"

("I still don't get why you'd want to use trash. Art is weird. 'w'")
"...like...the fruit taped to a wall thing...?"
"Abstract art usually has a meaning to convey! Just because it is abstract, does not mean it is meaningless."
"It doesn't matter anyway. All that matters is that I am the final art piece!"
"The fact that I cannot even fail to make something impressive even when I try to do so, just makes me the failure of art. Put me on a statue mount and display me in a museum at this rate."
"At least that would get me some of the attention I want."
"The artist as the art, perhaps your struggle itself could be considered art. In a way you create for the sake of a nine creation. In a way you make accidental creations. Do you seek a creation of non importance?"

"You fail to create meaningless art, you yourself put meaning into it?"
"It is not quite non importance I am seeking, it is more that non importance is an element of hideousness. I want to make something terribly hideous."
"Hmmmm tell me. Is it more hideous to be forgotten, or more hideous to be remembered?"
"I think I'm trying to do both and it's conflicting with each other."
"I think it'd be awful to... be remembered for things you wouldn't have want to been remembered for... and forgotten for what made you, you? Like...both?"
"...I don't get how you're supposed to have an opinion on something you don't remember. 'w'"
"Yes you are right! You cannot have an opinion on something you do not remember."
"Depends on who you are… at least for me. It's hideous for someone who does not deserve to be remembered to be. But it is also hideous for someone who deserves it to be forgotten. But the truth is both can be hideous, depending on what you remember for forget…"
"In general however. Perhaps it's more hideous to forget. At least for some."
"But isn't that concept, disgusting? To be nothing to someone even though they have seen you directly? To be ovewritten by the memory of a mundane lunch?"
"I think comparing the two is a tad... fruitless? Both of them are terrifying. You can't control how someone remembers you, or if they forget you altogether."
"But at the same time… a memory so awful. Something you can never forget. It replays in your brain over and over. Is that not hideous as well?"
"I'm not comparing them. I want to know what causes more disgust! A hearing about a roadside accident on tv you're not involved in and accidently drinking moldy milk are two different types, but if asked which one affected you more, you'd have an answer I'm sure."

"Yes, they are both awful. Having a legacy of fondness defaced- soured and ruined leaves a bad taste in my mouth in particularly though. Imagine, everything you have worked for ultimately meaning nothing in the face of a simple mistake?"
"I think not being remembered more... makes me sad than disgusted. It's...sad?"

She tilts her head to Azathoth curiously.
"I had assumed someone invoked the wrath of the gods…"
"Oh I was thinking that outloud...."
("Well guess I better own up to it.")
[Please Listen!]
"THAT IS TRUE. IT IS I. AZATHOTH, GREAT HOLY BEING OF MEMORY."
"YOU LIKELY ALL KNOW ME ALREADY BUT DO NOT BE FOOLED. THAT IS DUE TO THE SIDE EFFECTS OF MY POWERS."
Everyone in the room indeed was sure they already knew of Azathoth before this point.
"It is indeed I, who flooded the city for chaotic reasons!"
"Hmm....yeah I think you're familiar."

"Oh wait, I did do that last one."
Azathoth rolls a 20 sided die. An 18 is rolled.
Azathoth gives the notail a very fancy looking lunchbox. "Fine. You can have it back."
They snatch it back.
"Thank. You. 'w'"

"Oh- oh my... where is our respect!"
She drops the wandettle in her arms and grips her sibling, Never Ending and shoves them down.
"Kneel, moron."
"Sorry I was caught off guard by my cashier being the holy being of memory."
Azathoth is surprised. "Kneeling? Before me? Are you sure? I mean, most people when I tell them I'm a holy being of memory call me a liar. But you're...kneeling?"
Azathoth seems giddy with excitement. "Yes! Kneel before my splendor! I am finally being recognized for my accomplishments!"
("Well, you people just met me....")
"Actually, why do you kneel so willingly?"
"Ah because you brought a great flood upon this land. I assume we have done something to upset you oh holy one."
"Didn't they say they did it for chaos though. 'w'"
"To not kneel to a holy being a crime! Your brought a flood. Surely you have great power?"
She speaks of the last part with more eagerness than before.
"Well, to be honest I did bring chaos upon the land because I was upset. Consider it a bit of a rush decision based on emotions."
"But I suppose that is all godly actions, isn't it?"

They look for something heavy to hide behind.
Oh shit. Well. Resident hired body-guard holds out a wing to shield Starry Nights and Never Ending from any potential blood splatters.
Starry Nights, after her initial shock looks up to Azathoth and throws her hands up, in a panic.
"Oh holy one! Please! Protect me, should danger come my way!"
"…"

Sensing immediate danger they pray to the Poetnix for safety in what is to come.
Never Ending rolls a 20 sided die. A 20 is rolled.

The Poetnix has listened to the calls for help, and has summoned a book called "How to disable a rampaging metal bird with an anomalous rabbit taped to its back (the words "I didn't have time to title this better" are written in the margins.)" It is a short book, and will take very little time to read!

Azathoth has changed everyone's memory of the event. Kratos has never been freed. He has simply walked into the room, muzzled, O-Hare by his side.
Ironically, because of this, no one remembers Azathoth's act to stop the event. "Hmmm you ever just walk into a room and not remember why?"
"I'm having one of those moments right now."

"...Saved it from what...?"
"Huh… I felt like I was doing something… Saved the day from what, holy one?"
"Yes, great Azathoth... what have you saved us from?"
"And where did I get this book?" They read it regardless.

The tailed hybrid reads the book, and gains the greatest understanding of how to re-muzzle a rampaging bird and free a rabbit that is taped onto its back. The hybrid feels this is one of the most important books they will ever read in their life, but they have no idea when they would ever use this knowledge.

"Wow… what oddly specific information… I feel something from this. I must keep this book." They pocket it.
"Oh- uh. 'w'"
Chitter eyes the giant death bird with a large amount of suspicion.
"I'm just gonna. You know. 'w'"
They look for something to make a makeshift torch with. AI are scared of fire right.
Chip rolls a 20 sided die. A 10 is rolled.

The notail finds flammable trash.

Yeah. Not taking any chances with murder murder death bird. They make a small fire. It's some sort of defense. Maybe.
"Ah, the curse of the limbo strikes even the gods. I have saved you from danger, but you will never remember it. Don't worry, it's not worth the memory space."
"If you have any delusions you should just tell us, I am sure none of us will judge. OwO"
"Well, you were taped to Kratos-"
"Nevermind, it involves me. OwO"
"I thought you didn't want to tell us."
"I didn't want to tell you because no one would believe me!"
"Ah this sounds just like the book I have read. If this situation ever occurs I think I could solve it with ease thanks to this book! I shall remember this forever!"
"It's hard to believe something that never happened to be fair."
"Oh well!!"
"Thanks for...saving the day...?"
They're being polite. This is confusing. Why is this guy saying they saved the day.
Hey, isn't that the guy that trapped her in a thought experiment?
Hey isn't that the person he and his split body clone hit with a trolley?....
Ambrosia averts her eyes.
O-Hare adverts his eyes.
"Well holy one, is there anything you wish for us to provide. I am quite sorry we have offended you…" They resume kneeling.

She motions to the wandettle she had brought along.
HE THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GET A FOLLOWER BUT NO THIS PERSON SEEMS TO WANT THEIR PET BAPTISED.
"Are you asking me to make this "child" a follower of mine?"
"Are you giving a godless bug a godly assignment?"
Ambrosia looks on in mild horror as Starry Nights requests a baptism from the guy she sold drugs to on a corner. And apparently caused a flood. Religion is wild.

Yeah. Obmilists are weird.
"Yes! I can see the doubt in your eye. This child is my adopted one! It is what is inside the insect that is my child you see."
"And I promise you, this child will be a good follower of yours. In fact, should you give me permission I will stay with the child, and make sure they do not stray from your path too!"
"And this 'godless bug' is my daughter, sibling. Mind your tongue."
"You put your kit inside the insect?!? I did not know you had a child, sibling!"
"I do not understand this at all."
"Yes. I'm a single mother. How is that hard to understand"
What the fuck is wrong with these people.
They're just going to mind their own business at this point. And enjoy their reunited lunch.
Maybe toast up their sandwich a bit. Who knows. Life is fleeting.
"This is borderline child abuse! You should free your child from this insects body!"

Bro is baffled.
"...I'm not hurting them. I think they want to be in there."
Okay, so maybe agreeing to meet with people on Tiger's Claws' Single Moms group on Maskbook was a mistake.

"Oh. Makes sense. 'w'"
They are barely listening anymore.

"You put your child in an insect."

They fall silent eventually.
"I do not know what is going on but I will just agree to this."
Azathoth pulls out a large pot of blackened blood. "LET US BEGIN THE BAPTISM. HAND ME THE CHILD."
She quickly lifts the wandettle and carries it to Azathoth eagerly, holding it out.
"You honor me so, great one!"
[Evolution - Pokémon Scarlet and Violet OST]

Azathoth takes the child and drops it into a vat of blood.

It begins to...slowly....ever so slowly sink into it.

"Blood is thicker than most people expect you know."
("Especially when it's a little old.")

The wandettle completely disappears under the blood.

Azathoth grabs around in the blood and pulls out what he thought was the wandettle. Except it keeps getting longer and longer as he pulls. ("For the love of mothers do not tell me I killed a child during my first baptism.")

The "baby" finally coughs out some of the blood before shaking itself. Everyone in the room is "baptised" in a shower of old blood.

Your wandettle has turned into a platzel!

"Die."
"I must say, originally I was unsure about all of this, but I welcome my newest follower!"
"I shall give you a welcoming gift." Azathoth holds out a small creature in his hands.

"Crooooo."

"May it lead my newest follower to greatness!"
"Thank you for this gift oh holy one. My sibling will surely cherish it!"
Yippee!!!
She gently takes the floralark from Azathoth Giddily.
Literally the best moment of her life.
"I am so glad! Your gift shall be cherished forever, godly one!"
"Wow, I'm surprised you actually liked it."

RESULTS!
"Ok. I think we both agree....."
Goal: Your goal is to set up a campfire and cook something above it without anyone noticing you're literally making a campfire in the room. You cannot lie about anything you're doing, but you can make "technically correct" statements.
Someone askes you "What are you doing?"
Ex: I am not building a campfire: Not ok.
Ex: I can tell you I'm not killing a man that's for sure: Correct. You are not killing a man that's for sure.
Powers: You can start small fires anywhere you want. You can do this up to 3 times. You can also spawn one chaos roll.
"That you really shouldn't have won that one. Everyone was just sort of ok with you setting a fire in the room."
"Yeah. 'w'"
"But, a win is a win I suppose!"
They look quite proud of themself.
"If you keep hanging around knuckleheads like those, you can just about get away with anything! Enjoy your point, and make sure to pick up your reward on the way out!"
