Goo-O-Ween 2023 / 🪦Cathedral of the Cursed🪦

Prompt Day: 5
Goobie(s) Involved: Alistaire
If Art, NPC? n/a
Entry:

As the group of goobies was brought to the trapdoor behind the destroyed pulpit, Alistaire watched Crimson with curious eyes as she called down into the depths below.

Their descent leads to a towering set of double doors which are easily pushed open, the group of goobies crowding the doorway.

As Father recounts his tale through tears, the group seems to fall into silence.

The fight between the Gob and Gobbess had split the factions, and those upset by the news had come to destroy what was once a sanctuary for goobies to come and pay their respects to their deity. A sigh leaves his lips at the revelations revealed to them.

"I do believe our best option is going to find your mother, Crimson," Alistaire speaks after thinking it over for a moment. "We're going to need all of the help we can get to figure out where that group went, and maybe... we can find a way to bring the Gob back." It felt almost like a dream, the idea of bringing Jystyr back to this plane of existence, but the dark goo raining from the skies beyond the shattered windows filled him with an odd sense of hope. As though... perhaps, somewhere, he was watching over them.

"If I may ask you one question... do you happen to know anything about the goo raining from the sky outside?" Alistaire poses the question to Father, looking between the pile of blankets and Crimson.

Goobie(s) Involved: capra
Entry:

Capra felt a surge inside of himself. He wanted to break The Father free from his chains, metaphorical or not.

The best way to do that was probably to accept his gift, whatever that may be. To seek out to partner and to bring the two together again. The cathedral must stand once again as a beacon of hope for goobkind.

Capra reassured The Father that they’re all going to do whatever they can to help.

Goobie(s) Involved: neptune
If Art, NPC?: n/a
Entry:

neptune stared in disbelief at the father’s recounting of events. he felt sympathetic towards crimson and the father, hoping that crimson’s mother was okay. the diab was interested in helping, but he was still very uneasy about everything in general. he wasn’t sure how to help; perhaps cleaning the place up and throwing a goo-o-ween party could bring the group, and hopefully crim’s mother, back? but, that seemed dangerous. however, maybe it could work? neptune suggested his idea, trying to not show confidence in it.

If Art, NPC? no
Entry:

As Bubs scrambles to pick up his cards from the floor the red and black goobie circles the group he has found himself a part of. He sits once he has saved his cards from the crusty goo floor, tucking the cards back into his mane for safe keeping, and then turns his attention back to the red and black goobie - Crimsion.

Once she leads them all underground to her father, bubs is shocked. Which is saying a lot. The whole time he listens to the father he has an expression of :O Mouth wide and agape in shock.

"Help! Help! Bub help!" Bubs is excited by the idea of being able to help out. "Strong is good but not me strong." He shakes his head. "Bubs can keep company while others lookie. Am good at friend lookie after. Can show lots of tricky tricks and tell jokes."

Goobie(s) Involved: Lily, Hope, and Shell
If Art, NPC? N/A
Entry: Lily, Hope, and Shell are relieved that Crimson decided to believe the group. Though there were a few tense moments where it looked like she might try to poke someone with her battlestaff, she did not do so and thankfully, things had not resulted in a fight. They listen as Crimson begins to explain, before saying there is someone the group needs to meet. The trio follows her through the trap door, and they glance around curiously at the cellar they find themselves in. They listen quietly to the story of what happened at the cathedral, concern and sadness filling each of their expressions as they learn about the events that led to the cathedral's current state. When the two ask for help, Lily, Hope, and Shell look at each other and nod without hesitation. Even though they just met these two, they really want to help reunite the family and they are determined to do what they can to make sure it happens!
"We will help you," the trio say in unison. They immediately begin thinking about how to find Crimson's mother. Well, she was last seen heading into the forest, so that is probably the best place to start looking for clues...

Goobie(s) Involved: Peanut
If Art, NPC? No
Entry: As Peanut nears the end of the steps they hears the sound of footsteps of others entering down the trapdoor and steps to the side once he reaches the bottom to wait for whoever else is coming. As they grow closer he notices that it is the strange goobie followed by the rest of the group, Peanut is glad that they seem to have figured out the dispute and are now working together. As the new goobie, they think they hear others around him referring to her as Crimson, opens the door in front of them and leads everyone inside he rejoins with the group and follows them in. They sit with everyone else as The Father tells his story, their sorrow and sympathy for the goobie growing as he retells what occurred here. The Father ends his story with an odd rather suggestion and Crimson asks for everyone's help. They think for a bit about the request and the strange offer, before coming to the decision he's willing to do what they need him to in order to help them. They look up and address The Father.

"I think I can help with that, at least I want to try my best to. As for your strength, I'm happy to take some of it if you want me to and you really think it may help, I wish to help in any way I can. Also, if gaining your strength is what bound you to this cathedral maybe giving it to some of us might possibly free you as well and then you can also come with us. Once we find a way to help you leave maybe we can all search the forest together to try and find your partner."

Goobie(s) Involved: amaryllis
If Art, NPC? n/a
Entry:

after crimson had decided to trust the group of goobies, they all chose to follow her down the trap door, including amaryllis. it was a quick trip, but she still felt a bit nervous on what they were going to discover.

at the end of the tunnel, a huge cellar door laid in front of them. crimson opened it, and they were met with a huge pile of blankets. amaryllis was confused for about half a second until the blankets started to shift a bit, and a teary-eyed face appeared. oh, right. there had been a sad call coming from this tunnel a little while ago, so it would make sense that a goobie was down here.

the goobie introduced himself as The Father. he started to tell a story, and it was a very sad story. amaryllis's heart wrenched up inside of her. if only jystyr hadn't disappeared, if only those goobies hadn't wrecked the place, if only The Mother hadn't left, and many other "if onlys" filled up inside her head. she had never wanted to help someone more than she did now.

amaryllis's ears perked up when The Father started to talk about a gift he could give the group of goobies. that might be helpful if she were to help in the quest of finding crimson's mother and The Father's partner. "if you're willing, i would love to accept some kind of gift from you," spoke amaryllis to The Father.

Goobie(s) Involved: fenwick, wolf
If art or writing, Partner? solos
If Art, NPC? n
Entry:

Fenwick stared blankly at this new goobie. A gift...? They didn't exactly pay attention to the story as they were focused on the new area. As soon as they heard the idea of a gift, Fenwick was on board. It's not like them to only go after their own personal gain, however, this gift may be useful in the long-run. Whatever it may be. As soon as the new goobie finishes talking, Fenwick immediately starts talking to Wolf. She felt comfortable around this goobie and they're wondering why everyone seems to be deep in thought about some sort of decision.

Entry:

Wolf’s ears perked up at the word of a gift being given to everyone. Although she wasn’t paying the closest attention to what conversations were going on, who doesn’t love a gift? “Hm?” She said to her new friend, Fenwick.
