prompt:
Blade looked up with disinterest, slowly blinking as the gobbess kept talking.
Yelling, actually.
It was quite annoying.

As she finished, he looked down and to the side, where Phone stood, shocked.

"What's up with you, huh?" He said in a monotone, seemingly careless tone.
"Wh- WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHAT'S UP? THE GOBBESS IS HERE!" They yelled in a panic, pointing at the sky.
"Okay, and?"
"AND??"

There was a short silence between them.

"She wants a sacrifice, doesn't she? If you are so worried, why dont you go up and calm her anger, hm?"
Phone looked at Blade with fear –no, pure terror– in their eyes.
They opened their mouth, but no words came out.
Blade was just looking at them, eyes still lidded with boredom. He sighed and turned his head to face fowards.

"That was a joke, Phone."
Phone closed his mouth, feeling himself be swarmed with relief.

"Come on, lets get out of here before things start getting too violent, theyre already arguing." Blade said, looking quickly to the groups of goobies fighting for who should be the sacfrice, then turning around and walking away.
Phone followed nervously and quickly besides her.

He knew that whatever Blade thought was a great choice.

prompt: the young caillou looked up into the sky as colours of purple, blue and orange stained the clouds. his eyes sparkled in awe, curiosity keeping him at a stand still while other goobies were either whimpering in fear or running around like headless chickens. as he saw three eyes appear from the beautiful array of colours, he only grew more interested in what this strange thing was saying. he had no idea what was going on, but it seemed like a pretty big deal. she seemed lovely at first, then insulted them all by calling them bad words. caillou was not impressed by whatever or whoever this was, and he wanted to let her know that he was in fact NOT terrible OR naughty. who was gob, anyway? and why did she want him? gob sounded pretty cool though, maybe caillou could be a gob?
the little goobie stepped forward, chest puffed out proud. "i want to be a gob! that sounds cool!" he yelled out to the sky, pouncing around playfully trying to get her attention. maybe she'll give him cool powers! caillou had always wanted to fly...

prompt:Kachina didn't hestiate to push Pastel fowards. Pastel didn't mind though as she faced the gobess. Or well tried to in a sense. "Im not afraid, I know your angry and im here to listen. Perhaps i can help you? Please let me help you!" She said as Kachina pondered over who Gob was. What was he? Was he real, what version of reality did he reside in? This might take some time, but so far she gathered he was myth and at the same time...something more.

Shortcake stared, filled with pure horror, as the gobbess revealed herself. Their breath felt as if it was ripped from their throat as they struggled to breath, rasping and heaving as they scuttered in a vaguely backwards direction. Shutting his eyes tight, Shortcake wept. He could feel the burning, accusatory gaze burning into his body. He couldn't escape her.

The gob, the gob? Who was the gob? Shortcake was clueless, and whilst they would never put others in harms way, they wished in this moment that someone else was in their position instead. Was the gobbess going to smite him down for being a diab? Unable to stop shuddering in raw terror, Shortcake curled in on himself in a pathetic attempt to hide. It was futile, it all was.

prompt:
Sage and Hiraeth had expected many things upon the return of their gobbess. But her anger was not one of them. This is was not a cause for celebration, they could both see that now, this was a cause for fear and cowering from all that stood in her path- and both Agels would do everything to make sure they weren't.

Both goobs stood before their gobbess together when it was time, both of them hoping that she would realize that neither of them were gob, they were innocent of the crimes she was claiming had been done. They would trust in their gobbess' judgement, even if it went against every instinct.

prompt:

Ira stands before the Gobbess in horror. Her angry sends chills down their spine; this is not how they imagined today would go. This is not how they imagined the Gobbess would make her return! The sky is clouded and the wind began to pick up around them, nearly tipping them over to the side.

"Did I cause your anger? Are you punishing me?"

No response was given. Ira stands their ground, repeating their questions louder and angrier. 'She cannot be serious!', Ira thought. No way were they going to sacrifice anygoob. It had to be them. They used to be so positive that the Gob and Gobbess would never return, and now they are staring up at one of them for the first time.

"I will go. I will be your scapegoat. What are you to do? Your worst? Don't you think leaving us for as long as you have was not the worst?" Ira sneered, hunching down as if to begin backing away and hide. They did not know what the Gobbess had in mind, but hopefully sacrificing themself will help save some others.

prompt:
Morr'geth lingers in a clearing to the side of all of the commotion, their void eyes studying the gobbess with disgust but also a strange sense of intrigue. That is, until they're shoved forward by another. "It's this one! this one is the gob!" Morr'geth's bones rattle as they clash together from the brute force of the other individual, the crowd's eyes scowling down at the frightening goob, Morr'geth. "You dare accuse me, of being something so unappealing, as the great gob? I should skewer you for that." The other goobs backpedal, scurrying away from the menacing goob as it hisses toward their direction.

prompt:
"I..I have to. I can't not be on her side for this. Maybe she can change...I...I feel like I've felt this feeling before, this drive to...give her the benefit of the doubt?" Waktos stated, only feeling more of a desire to curl up, perhaps pass a few centuries in a deep sleep but he couldn't...not with her eyes on him. Not literally, mind...but still he felt it. The pressure to be perfect like her. Instinctively, he felt his body morph younger, though not too much, beard shortening and posture adjusting. Acryl looked at him, seeing him adjust himself to somehow feel better about being in the gobbess' presence.

"Waktos...I'm upset too, but we need to support father! It's all I can do after making that stupid card, after wanting her around because I was so stupid to not think about why I didn't remember so much about her!" Acryl ranted, feeling their body shake and their mind flood with pain. "I..I can't. I'm sorry Waktos but...I...I'm an agel, I can't...not follow her, even if she's not what anyone wants her to be. Even if she's evil I'm...I'm like her...and...I doubt father would want to even see me now, let alone let me stand by his side..." Acryl groaned, swiftly bapping Waktos in the face with their paw. "Don't be stupid!! He's been walking among the mortals, and we've been around! I'm sure he knows that you're good! Come on, Waktos!" The major gob was silent for a bit after that, looking away from the other and trying not to let himself show any more sorrow than he already was. "I'm sorry, Acryl. When all of this is over, I'll do my best to make it so that you can forgive me."

Acryl was shocked, but the pain in Waktos' answer was quickly followed by anger, filling their face with distress as they yelled. "FINE! BE LIKE THAT THEN!" and off they went, running towards the side of the gob and leaving Waktos behind, even if they didn't want to. With Waktos acting so hopeless, it wasn't like there was any convincing him anyhow.

acryl joins the side of the gob.
waktos is obligated to join the side of the gobbess.

"Mister Girasole? Does...Does this mean that I'm evil?" Girasole snapped his head around, watching Sweets softly start to whimper and cry as they asked the question. "Y-You always told me that agels are supposed to be naturally good...that we're nice and sweet...but, if the gobbess is...is like this then...then were you...wrong? Are agels like me...naturally evil?" Girasole exhaled softly, though his face showed unending concern, settling down next to Sweets and putting a comforting paw around them. "No, No no, Sweets. You are wonderful and sweet, you are kind and loving, you are such a bright light and I'm so proud that I can call you my adoptive child. The gobbess may be...like this, but that doesn't mean anything about you. I was wrong to say that about agels, not all of them are good, but you are." Sweets sniffled, unable to do anything but curl up towards Girasole.

"Hey. We need to get moving." Xiv's voice cut through, intense and commanding despite how he carefully moved to Sweets' other side. "I...I can't I-I can't-" Sweets attempted to talk, but was only able to sniffle and sob more, collapsing on Xiv and Girasole. Girasole looked to Xiv as they moved, carefully making sure that Sweets was alright as the two carried them. "Xiv, this is...terrifying but...I want you to know that if these are our last days together. I love you." Xiv growled in response, trying to hide a small bit of sadness in his tone. "Don't say that, you idiot. We're going to be fine." A pause. "But, I love you too."

xiv joins the side of the gob.
girasole joins the side of the gob.
sweets is unable to think, girasole and xiv brings them to gob's side.

"Get up Emersyn! Come on girl up and up, we gotta go!" Dash states, running in place for a moment before attempting to use his own strength to push the other goobie up off of the ground. "We're gonna get up, we're gonna find your brother, we're gonna work together, and we're gonna make this something cool! Something awesome! Think of how cool it's going to be when we fight and make a name for ourselves like this! Come oonnnnnn!!!" As much as he tried to push the other up on her feet, there wasn't any luck, and eventually, Emersyn herself spoke with a bark in her tone. "Shut up! I can't get up even if I wanted to! Now stop PUSHING me and get over to gob!" "No can do, Em! I'm not letting you sit here and await ungooification! If you don't get up out of here, then neither am I!"

dash is attempting to help emersyn, technically close to the gobbess' side.
emersyn cannot move. she is stuck on the side of the gobbess.
