The stillness in the air.....trouble was afoot, but this crew didn't quite know what was wrong. There was a minor shake through the town, and while the notails perked up, they did not seem to mind.

Out loud at least.

The creature tracks were slim pickings. There weren't many caborhunds (apparently, they taste great fried) but they did find one set of tracks rushing into the wasteland.

Unsure if they wanted to the the risk, the crew considered what else they could do in town.

They could go check out the castle's water supply.

Maybe check out some sort of fortune telling booth.

Or even check out if there's any sales going on at those weird stores.

They could also do something else....

Beeatrix bent down and touched her hand to the tracks then to her tongue. She tastes the dust like in the movies when they track things and then she proceeds to cough and spit, "Yuck! That was a terrible idea! What was I thinking??"

Aqua leans against the tree and scoffs at Beeatrix trying something like that. "What were you expecting, bug?"
"I don't know why you'd do that, considering how many chemicals might be in the ground from all the bombings here."

Ember leaned down to give her bee, Dazzle, a small pat on the head. "Normally you want something that knows the scent or taste you're looking for."
"Besides what are we even looking for anyways?" Aqua grumbled pushing her one wing off of the tree to move towards the group.

Beeatrix brushes the dust off her robes and stands tall at a good three feet before looking at her party members.
She addresses them, "Hello and greetings! I am Beeatrix Majidaunt. I was planning on searching for both the Bug and the odd germ I had gazed upon around the confessionals. It seems the bug may have to wait some other day... It has moved off into the wastes, too dangerous for a older wizard like myself."

She asks the group, "Any idea where one might find that religious blueberry?"
"My first guess would be somewhere around that booth they had everyone go into upon being put here."
"Oh we're doing introductions, Well I'm Aquamarine... just call me Aqua. I'm in it for my own reasons, and... my best guess on where a religious... "blueberry" would be somewhere holy, perhaps a field of great growth or tranquility. Something stupid like that. I for one want nothing to do with the gods."
"I am not sure who you're talking about, but from my understanding the booths the crew use to record people were converted from a confessional, which is pretty religious."
"Yeah, that's the thing I was talkin' about."

Ember slowly rises back up, dusting off the robe shrouding her form, not that her vibrant colors could be hidden well, looming over everyone at seven feet tall.

"What even is a religious blueberry, anyway?"
"I have a couple ideas."
Beeatrix looks about the area as she listen to her party members, "I am thinking if booths are the case then perhaps we should check out the odd fortune telling booth over there! Surely that is some sort of booth?"
"Sounds like a good start then, lets head there..." Aqua also stood at a decent 6'5 feet tall, big for an aftik.
"Kree kree kree. I don't think that's the same, but doesn't hurt to check!"
And Red stands up, being even taller then the jungle aftik, if only by a couple inches.

Beeatrix strokes her beard. "If not, I'm sure they will turn up soon enough. It is the most likely place I can manage to think of. Priests do not hang out in stores and water plants. That is, unless they are apart of a metal band or something akin to metal!"

She walks over towards the fortune-telling booth.

You all decide to enter the fortune telling booth.

You all expected to view a wise oracle. A genius of the faith, one who knows the hate of the gods.

What you find instead.

"Snort."

Is a whole unicorn who carefully turns over cards. There must be tasty salt on them.
"Oh my!"
Aqua seemed to be nervously staying to the sidelines, something tells you this isn't the first time this bird has met this horse.

Beeatrix pays the horse's looks no mind - like a crazed apidee would - and asks of the horse as she adjusts her hat: "Excuse me, Diviner! Would you have happened to see a blue slimy looking priest slide on these streets as of recent?"
Could you really ask a unicorn for hints on your way to life, is that what you want to do?
The unicorn flips over a card depicting a theatrical scene. A thought passes through your head. Isn't the confession booth near the film set?
This is, of course, all coincidence.
"... Maybe we should go check the film set instead."
Aqua wanted to ask the horse what it possibly meant by mechanical machine, and whether it truly was the gacha machine, but the aftik knew better than to do that after all that happened.
"I...."
"Yeah. Okay."
The unicorn taps its hoof on the table, as if asking for a fee for its service as hint master.
The aftik begrudgingly offers up some points.

Beeatrix remains unphased by the big horse, giving a small quint bow to the towering equine in thanks, and says to it: "Thank you for the directions, Diviner! But what might you be accepting as payment? I only possess tokens. My honey was devoured by my lovely bees!"
Aquamarine rolls a 20 sided die. A 17 is rolled.

The unicorn chews on the points card, seemly just fine with this. How silly of you to think this was anything but an overgrown steed. Look at you, all fools for talking to it.

That's the thought that crosses through all your heads.

Ember seems to be having a good time, the thought meshing with all the others floating about her head.

Aqua knows better than to accept that. "Anyways horse, I'll save my conversation with you until I've "purged myself of the godly machine"." She grumbles under her breath, leaving everyone else to wonder what kind of crazed episode the aftik was having.
Beeatrix giggles to herself and flutters her wings, "That was fun! Let's head on over to the stage to see what quests are in the making! The germ is surely over there as the Diviner has claimed. Not once have I been led astray by a unicorn! Not yet at least..."
She prepares to head out towards the movie set.
Ember follows in line after Beeatrix.
"Kree kree kree! Oh I like you. Let's see what we can find!"
"So... it was talking?"
"Fucking unicorns..."
"Yes of course it was talking. It likes to make you feel stupid about that, then say some damn inspirational shit."
"Nah, horses don't talk silly!"
"....."
"It's like when you stare at something long enough, your thoughts help you on the right path."

"Quit the talkin', let's just get to the stage."

You all reach your destination, the confession booth. There you see two people having a heated discussion.

"Jesus would never hurt anyone!"
"Either Jesus ain't real or Jesus is just waiting to eat you alive. :)"

Oh no.....it's a religious argument.

"Jesus would never do that, no matter how much you say so."
"It says so right in my book."
"Let me see that book. :)"
"N-No, you'll rip it up!"
"Why can't you at least give me all that meat you're carrying. :)"
"Cause it's for Christians."
"Actually, speaking of that, can I get s- all of that? That Flesh and Blood."

The aftik walks in, giving a glance to Red slowly and then Princess before shaking their head. "Yes, could we get some of that, all of it?"
"I respect the bluntness."
"Uh no. I don't feel comfortable giving it to you all.....I think you might want it because you're hungry......"
"Oh, no! Not at all! I'm well fed."
"Giving you this meat would be taking advantage of you."
"What was it that your god says to do? Share or something?"
"No no, Red is just a.... good Christian. A very good one, top of his class!"
"This meat is only for Christians!"
"You're a Christian?????"

Beeatrix is a little confused by what her party members are doing. She seemed content to watch but she guesses she will probably have to speak up.

Beeatrix steps up stands as tall as she can and says, "Hello! My name is Beeatrix Majidaunt. I have some interest in hearing about your Christian religion and possible conversion!"

It seems like her tall companions were overshadowing her and missing the point here, however.

"Well you may see mine, he's, um... forgot his."
"No, I didn't forget them, I just. Don't have them yet. The rest of those guys aren't Christian though. Just us aftiks."
Ember watches Beeatrix for a moment, before deciding to pick her up so she can tower over the others.
Beeatrix puffs up a bit as she is held aloft by her friend Ember. She tells Ember, "Thanks~!"

Give up.

Beeatrix tries to sound sad as she watches the unfolding result of her having been betrayed, "Oh nooo... That is very bad!"
She still sounds rather cheerful, maybe even excited at watching a unicorn!
Aqua wonders if she should do something to protect Red. He was her only chance at getting out of this hell hole, but that horse... it scared her more than anything else and she had respect for it.

Beeatrix cringes and shields her eyes as she watches the beating... But she peeks through her fingers before eventually coming to settle down. "Wow, that was unfortunate."
"..........................yo what's going on.................."
"Why did you people want my meat that badly....."
"I... I... I think he might have learned.." Her voice was quiet and pained.
"Red wanted it for his horrid Orange creature. That's why. He bribed me with a way out. He was my only chance off this planet. I had to do it. I'm sorry."

Beeatrix seems hardly moved and hops over, walking past Aqua towards the Christian boy. She tells Aqua, "Don't worry! I forgive you and him. Not so sure about these other people bothered by your antics. An apology is in order I feel. But, I won't linger on it too much!"
Ember looks at Aqua.
"Jesus would forgive you for trying to steal his meat."
"So I do too."
"Jesus is a cuck. :)"
"Don't say that about Jesus!"
"No I agree. I really should have higher standards. I've just been stuck on this planet for so long. I am sorry. To you young priest and to the others. I hope the rest of goes well."
"I'll help carry Red home."
"Would Jesus forgive me for saying that about him? :)"
"Why yes of co-"
"Jesus is a cuck. :)))) "
Aqua was slightly shaking from the whole ordeal. She looked to the unicorn to be allowed to stand back up.
"Snort."

You feel like you're allowed to get up, but you're not picking up Red.

"Kree kree kree! You're an adult, you can make any mistake you want, just prepare for the consequences."
"I'm sorry. You're right. Some disgusting gods' control plagues me. I must get rid of all I desire. I accept my consequences."
The aftik nods leaving Red where he is but keeping a close eye on him. Despite all that happened she still cared somewhat about what occured to him. Though she was trying not to. She shook her feathers and sheepishly rejoined the group holding her tail.

I've got somewhat of a interest in things of a theological nature ever since I lost my eye. I wanted to find you and ask you about your religion and it's practices, and consider joining you and your Christians."

"Oh there's one surefire way to destroy a clockwork."

Aqua nodded, silently listening and quietly glad everything was all over. She was still too embarrassed to rejoin the group.
Beeatrix seemed rather unphased by this concerning description and asks the Christian Germ, "That was really interesting! So, how would someone go about joining in said religion and what are the other rules it entails? What sort of values does it hold?"
Beeatrix also asks, "Could I also trouble you for a copy of the book you praise?"
"I only have one bible on me, but if you would like it, I can take you to Heaven to meet Jesus and get the bible. But you would have to convert before that!"
"To convert all you need to do is partake in his body and soul!"
"I haven't converted yet, cause I don't forgive myself yet."
"But I am happy to convert others to the path!"
Aqua also did not forgive herself for what she did so she waits for the others to go ahead.
"Do you have a less... Meaty approach? A fluid perhaps.", Beeatrix seemed rather adventurous! Besides, for her she was kind of already at the end of her life span. Why not explore other religions? Plus the theme and style seemed cool!
"I do have the blood of my father but you should partake in both!"
"It's like jerky and blood pudding since I've been carrying it around for so long!"
"Aged meat."
Beeatrix shrugs, "If I don't eat too much then I don't think I will get too sick then. These ceremonies are strange but neat!"
"Christianity is disgusting, I'm leaving. :)"

"That's gotta be illegal in your wacko religion."
"What the fuck."
"If you join today, we'll give you 2 of these weird dogs!"

"There were more of them but I had to donate them 'cause people were super hungry....."
"Pick a puppy!!!!!"
The aftik liked the pink and the bottom one, but decided to let Beeatrix choose expecially after the incident.
Ember has no opinion, they are puppies.

Beeatrix goes all starry-eyed and buzzes her wings over towards all the weird bug dogs. She gives them many nuzzles and pats,

"Oooooooooh!!! Bugs!!! Look at the cute 'hunds! Oh who is a good boy! Who is a good girl!"
Aqua tries to mutter one excited woop but it can barely get out.

She sets her sights on the pastel red and pastel yellow ones. "These two gals will do."

She tries to hold them under her arms, but with how small she is, they are more liable to drag her off.

"If you want I could help hold some Beeatrix?"

"The pact is almost sealed!!!!"
"It's time to chug the blood pudding."
"The what."
"I almost miss not eating for months on end."
Beeatrix shudders, "Aw man. The blood stuff. Of course, as per the agreement I will partake."
She lets go of the hunds and tells Aqua and Ember, "Hold onto these lovely Hunds for me. I must two hand this weapon." Refering to the bottle.
She walks over to Christian Germ and is ready to drink... The blood pudding.

It..........................sure is blood pudding. It's literal blood. Just blood.

"Congratulations on becoming a Christian!!!!!"
"I hope you become a battleship!"
Aqua holds the puppies happily. She tries not to show it though.

Beeatrix does not have morale to lose or negative feelings so it was just... a unique experience. "Interesting taste!"
"Kree kree kree. Always interesting to see the choices people make."
He's always happy when people don't question the battleship part.
She heard the battleship part. But it just sounded cool.
"And that's it, you're saved!"
"Prepare for everlasting life!"
"Oh yeah I kind of forgot to tell you, you will never die anymore."
"Ooppssssss is that like...a problem with you?"
"I'm going to what?" Beeatrix says as she freezes up.
"Oh nooooooo I messed up!!! I converted someone without telling them all the rules!"
"Jesus have mercy on my soul."
"It's ok...you can like....die if someone grinds you up! And puts you on fire! And then grinds you up again just in case."
Beeatrix seemed rather happy about it honestly, like the weight of death on her shoulders was lifted and instead she tells Christian Germ, "No way! I get to live forever and be like a wise old wizard!"
"Oopsie! Don't worry, you start getting used to it after the thousand year mark."
"You can say that, but it'll never feel right." She grumbled.
"HOORAY!!!! NOW I DON'T NEED TO ASK FOR FORGIVENESS!!!!"
"If there's anything else you want, just ask me!!!"
Beeatrix has a couple more questions she can ask later as they are now religious pals, but one main thing comes to mind, "Oh, we can talk about all of it later when we do religious things together! Like a fun get together or a wizardly meeting. I do want to know your name however. What is your name?"
"..................................."
"Wizardly?"
"Oh shit I fucked up.................."
"Do you engage in magic?"
"No, not honestly. Real magic is kind of bad and Apidee teachings forbid it. But I do like to roleplay!", Beeatrix explains to the panicking germ.
"So calm yourself, you have not accidently ushered in a blessed being into your group."
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOH AWESOME!!!!"
"Fake magic is ok!"
"My beard's not real either!"
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT"
"I have known you for 20 minutes and you have already lied to me, I cannot believe this."
"I'm joshing around."
"We should gather again sometime and help out. I know some people whom may aid you in reconstructing your confessionals and other structures." Beeatrix explains as she clambers down from her lovely Bee, Evangeline.
"Let's do that!!!!!!!"
"We can build a church, I already was about to convert a few bricks."

He points at............................

Normal looking bricks to the side?????

Apparently bricks can be Christians?????

"Oh you know I did have two questions."
"Also ask away!"
"Oh I was just curious about that meat you had, it's not like the converting kind right? You said it's only for Christians."
"It's only for Christians and people who want to be one! Sometimes it's good to reassure your pact with our Father. Errr My father! Not yours."
"And you don't convert people by force?"
"That's what I said. Yeah! We don't do that."
"Ah then I understand, you don't wish to hand it over to the poor since they don't know what they'd be getting into."

Beeatrix walks over towards the bricks and says, "These bricks will do nicely for constructing a site of worship I suppose..."
She then goes off on her own thoughts on if she now has to respec into a priest now and if she should look into getting a religious outfit.
She asks out loud to Christleprae, "Do I have to move up religious rankings and complete quests? What are the requirements to gaining cool priest robes?"

"Oh, you don't have to like, rank up. I mean, not for the low ranks. You can be a priest as soon as you feel like you understand the bible!~"
"We can share the bible! At least until we copy it down. We can do... Bible Studies!" Beeatrix says as she buzzes over towards Christel does a bee bobble/dance.
"It'll be so fun! Wait till I show you what the Lord's powers can do.~"
"Thank you for letting me know about you, kree kree kree!"

The bricks open their mouths (Wait, what) and sing.

Beeatrix is utterly surprised and considered it rather odd bricks can do that. Perhaps this religion is blessed after all if it can make the stonework sing in such a manner.
Beeatrix would take morale damage and freak out a bit... but, she is an apidee and also delusional. She takes it as it comes and says, "Wow! These stones sure can sing!"

Meanwhile Ember's just....she's playing with a caborhund? There are...a lot of caborhunds...
Beeatrix asks a request, "Can they sing other songs? Like Barber quartets?"
"You don't know this yet, but at church we have cool mass singings! You're going to love it!"

Aqua sheepishly walks towards King. She still held the carborhund in her claws. She bowed once she approached him. "I know it is way out of my line to ask for your forgiveness, but I hope you understand. Red was my only way home."
It's very stupid to talk to a unicorn.
But that's ok, cause you're an idiot.
If unicorns could talk. Which they do not. The would tell you that your brain is the size of a peanut.
At least compared to the metal grace of the unicorn before you.
A unicorn that makes the gods tremble.
Are you REALLY going to ask for forgiveness?
Why shouldn't this unicorn eat your friend, right here and now?

She let out a small sigh. "Yea yeah I know. I just. I needed to get it off my chest. I know I'm stupid and I know what I did was stupid and you know what. I probably will continue to be stupid and ask for forgiveness. There will never be a good enough reason I could give, but I can at least say this.

"Red... Red had his own motives, while they seemed selfish he... he was just caring for someone else. He was foolish, too foolish to realize his own follies. I don't know if he will ever learn, or even if he learned this time, but I do know that at least he will have a better chance too alive."
What motivates a creature to do evil?
Your next words shall be spoken wisely, or else you feel you might get......gutted.

Aqua closes her eyes expecting her next words to have her gutted, but is willing to say it.

"Attachments and love for others. A selfish kind of love. One that prioritizes the person suffering from it over the other. A blind form of caring that blocks out all knowledge and all concern over others' feelings or actions. A type of love that will lead someone to doing anything. Even hurting others. It's caring."
Disgusting.

King throws his head up.

You take you take and take. You want it. You gotta have it. Have you never thought about anyone else?

King starts to trot away.

That machine was made for you. I knew I shouldn't have let you go that first time.
You shall let the gods consume you.

King does a hop and a kick in the air, before galloping away.

Aqua stood there, feeling even more lost than before.
Beeatrix sees King trotting away and walks over next to Aqua. She seemed happy at least compared to the Aftik.
She waves goodbye to King, "Goodbye King!"
She puts her hands on her hips and says, "Well I think that wraps things up. We got bugs! I've received a new purpose and religious pursuit. Finally, it looks like King visited you. How do you feel?"

Aqua just nods. "I think I understand what I need to do. What is truly plaguing us all. What we 'gotta have'." She gives one more apology to Beeatrix, giving back the carbohund and then slowly walks away. Thinking about it all.

Meanwhile Emberspark claps a little with the caborhunds, getting them to do tricks. "Dazzle, do a flip!"
Dazzle rolls a 20 sided die. A 4 is rolled.

SHE FALLS ON HER FACE.

"Aaaaaand that's a wrap!"
"Good show folks, you really added the religious tension."
"The drama, the betrayals, the cute little caborhunds."
"I say this is going to end up on a few top ten lists somewhere."
"Take a break, get some water, we're done for today!"
END OF EXPO
