[It begins with a shout. And then:]

HEAR ME!
I am he who BURNS and THUNDERS.
I am he of RUSHING FIRE.
I am every SPELL and SCOURGE.

That you have come to this land which I have claimed for MYSELF and for my FOLLOWERS.
That you have disgraced my SERVANTS.
That you have wounded those who serve ME.
That you have denied my claim on this LAND.
That you defy me in my RIGHTS of dominion of this place from its HEART to the RIM of the world.

O that my mouth could consume you, that my mouth could eat of your flesh.

I am he whose mouth breathes FIRE.
I am MASTER in this place.

Defy me NOT.

That the strength of my SERVANTS cannot hold you.
That the force of my SERVANTS does not bind you.
That you would battle ME as you would an army.

VERY WELL.

If you would stand against me, hear my WORDS:

MAKE unto me a SACRIFICE such as would PLEASE ME and see if I grant you MERCY.

[ooc: Yes, it's the goat!!! This message is broadcast across the Network in real-time. (Special thanks to the Bornless Ritual.)

As of 6:00pm Eastern Time, if your character made an offering to save the City, please consider that offering as having been made and consumed by the goat. See this post for more information.

If your character is down in the City, feel free to have them hear strange sounds and see flashes of lightning and shadow coming from up on the mountain while this is going on!]

[For some reason, this message from the black goat does not come as a surprise. There was clearly something wrong with it from the beginning!]

Yes, okay, but what sacrifices would please you?

[Beside him, Lara is torn between tension and amusement. She murmurs to herself, though Pavel would be able to hear her.]

Good Lord. Just when I thought I'd seen it all...

[candothat]

[He can't help but reply in a similarly quiet fashion.]

This is not the strangest thing to happen here, ma'am. You must be new.

[ladycroft]

[She sighs softly.]

New enough that I haven't encountered a talking goat before, never mind one with delusions of grandeur... or godhood.

[gridigut]

Make of your HEART an offering to me.

[candothat]

Is this literal, or metaphorical?

[gridigut]

MAKE of YOUR HEART an OFFERING to ME.

[ladycroft]

[A talking goat. Why not?]

Can you be more specific?

[gridigut]

Make of your HEART an offering to me.

[ladycroft]

How very Incan. I like my heart where it is, thank you, or are you meaning something that's important to me?

[gridigut]

Let is be PRECIOUS to you.

[deadmanbusiness]

Fuck you and the witches you rode in on.

[One annoyed demi-god necromancer is annoyed.]

And get out.

[gridigut]

This is my DOMINION.
So have I DECLARED it.

[deadmanbusiness]

This is my domain. So I have declared it.

[gridigut]

I WAS before you.
So shall I be AFTER you.

[ His life of freakish wonders is officially complete. ]

...Seriously?

[gridigut]

SILENCE.

[mortemscintilla]

[ Things have come to a pretty pass. Now he's being silenced by a goat. ]

I'm not sure whether to get in touch with an exorcist or PETA.

[gridigut]

There is little you KNOW and less you UNDERSTAND.

[fe_male]

That's all very laden. Do you need to talk, get some things off your chest? If you need a sympathetic ear - I can fake it.

[gridigut]

SILENCE.

[fe_male]

Yeah, I'm not very good at that. You can't say something vaguely prophetic and cryptic and smacking of Dom/sub performance dissatisfaction and not expect people to have a few questions about it.

[Korra accidentally dropped her network device on the beach when she went out to check on the sheep this morning. Mumu, the most curious of the flock, toddles over and somehow manages to accidentally turn the device on.]

Baaaaaaaaaah.

[A sheeply scream in reply.]

[anatural]

BAAAH! [Mumu dances back a few steps, startled by the scream. Then, shyly, she creeps back towards the device and noses it.]

Baah.
