EVENT for @flock-of-the-divine! Autumn is coming early...

"Get up and work, Now!"

Tim's shouting from the dinning hall made Lucky Charm flinch as them and Needles raced down the halls of the monastery. "Ignore him, we got to focus on supporting the infirmary." She stated, making them look back up at her. "I know, i just can't stand him yelling like that." They expressed as the two entered the infirmary, planning to reinforced the walls and the widows for winter.

Lucky dropped the bag of supplies and the two started getting to work. Lucky worked on the widow, boarding it up to keep the cold air out. "Ugh…Maybe we should ask the shepherd if we could take some wool to make our clothes warmer" Needles suggested while working on the walls, filling in any cracks and holes with clay. "Oh, good idea. Maybe we can have matchin' ponchos." They smiled at the thought of matching with their friends. She chuckled and looked over at her apprentice. "I meant like to line my coat, but if you want to match with Blue. I won't stop you."

Lucky quickly looked away from the widow and rolled their eyes at Needles. "Don't call him that. He doesn't like that nickname." They spoke up, quick to protect Kehan even when he wasn't there. She just looked away and nodded, continue fixing the walls. The two worked in silence, a thin air of tiredness slowly growing as the time passed by when suddenly.

"Kehan, Stop fussing over Titus! He's fine! Both of you get back to work! NOW!" Tim's roaring split through the quiet like an axe through wood.

In a instant, Lucky stood up from the widow and immediately turned to go out the door. Needles stopped what she was doing and grabbed them by the shoulder. "No, please. I need to help them." They tried to escape her grip but she doesn't let them go.

"You can't." She insisted.

"But i have to try! Titus is sick and works hard enough, his body can't take this kind of treatment." They argued.

"…Lucky-" She tried to speak but was quickly interrupted.

"a-And Kehan is a sensitive sweetheart! He deserves to be treated with respect. I can't let them hurt him. I won't." They pressed, desperate to help their friend.

"Lucky listen-"

"I can't just stand around and let them be hurt!-"

"Listen to me!"

Lucky paused upon hearing Needles raise her voice, making them shut up as tears threatened their eyes. She let out a tired sigh, her grip still firm on their shoulder. "You can't protect everyone." She said quietly, her voice dropping to a serious tone. "I know you desperately want to, but it's just impossible…" She reasoned, trying to calm her anxious apprentice.

"b-But…" Lucky tired to argue but the words died on their tongue. They looked down at the floor, a look of defeat on their freckled face. "You care too much. You can't just protect others, you gotta learn when to protect others. Or else you'll just get yourself hurt." Needles explained, patting their back gently. "Check on them after we're done, okay?" She reasoned, pointing at the half boarded widow.

With a heavy sigh, Lucky nodded and Needles let go of their shoulder. The two then went back to work reinforcing the infirmary, the air in the room turning for tired to focused.

"…Matching ponchos? That's fucking cute." Needles piped up with a chuckle.

"Oh shut up." Lucky playfully retorted, chuckling with her.

Again, Sorry i for any mischaracterizations or grammar issues! This one was a lot of fun! And if you see me drawing Lucky with a poncho, it's from Kehan :3

[flock-of-the-divine]

flock of the divine

creepypasta au

“ they were blessed with hands of healing, and the sick little lambs were cured „

meet your healers

healers are responsible for curing and nurturing the flock. they are able to become healers if they have prior medical experience or if they have trained with a healer inside of the flock. healer apprentices are qualified to become a full healer after training for three years

they enter as a general lamb of the flock and then are put through the ritual. first they are bathed by a healer in water, sheeps blood and chamomile, then are dressed in a beige smock. they are brought to the alter and their hands are bound with vines, ginseng leaves and jasmine. then an oracle uses their cursed blessed blood to draw the Divines sigil on the lambs forehead, naming them as a healer. then they are bled to rid them of the sin they brought from beyond the monastery

responsibilities

their main responsibilities are tending the sick and injured, collecting herbs and making medicine and ointments from them, training their apprentices and keeping on top of routine check-ups

they also are required to keep on top of medical stock, however the oracles will double check their work very thoroughly. the oracles also collect end of week reports on everyones status to ensure nobody is sick enough to spread their illness. and if they are… well who knows

attire

the healer attire is the normal lamb attire however they are allowed a few additional articles. this includes goggles for when theyre making medicine, a satchel for their equipment, a belt for their herbs, a plain apron with an open flower embroidered across the front and gloves

the healers (FULL)

Eyeless Jack

Jack Nyras, or Eyeless Jack, is a half monster half man who is thoroughly educated in human biology. he is an expert surgeon and is very gifted at making anaesthetics and pain killers from natural herbs

he is very gentlemanly and pleasant, to the point he seems like hes from a different time. he is naturally very charismatic and despite his monstrous appearance and lack of eyes, people feel very drawn to him. he offers a very relaxing presence even if hes about to cut you open

he enjoys reading books on anatomy and cooking, he can often be found helping the cooks in the kitchen during his free time

Needles

Ivy Graves, known by most as Needles, is a woman who struggles with addiction. her knowledge in medicine comes from her years as a nursing student. she can often be found in the infirmary tending to the injured or training her apprentice.

she has more of a distant or cold presence, preferring to keep to herself. she’s the type to patch you up quietly rather than engage in discussion as she finds small talk useless. that being said, she can open up if she meets the right people.

in her free time you can find her studying up on different herbs, furthering her own knowledge as a healer.

the healer apprentices (1 SLOT)

Slasher (mentor: Eyeless Jack)

@slasherflicks999

Lucky Charm (mentor: Needles)

Chloe Alamilla, only known by Lucky Charm, is a quiet but empathetic person. They were a gatherer before deciding to train as a healer after witnessing one of their friends bleed out. She can often be found in the infirmary tending to the sick and listening to her mentor.

He is caring by nature and might start panicking if his patient refuses treatment. Although they might be a people-pleaser, they do have petty streak and aren't afraid to get roughed up if it means proving a point.

When she's not learning, she's often checking on the flock and making small crafts out of whatever she can find.

Juniper (mentor: Eyeless Jack)

Juniper is useful. She goes around the place, gathering whatever anyone need, food, tools, medicine, or info. Besides an apprentice, she plays more the role of a nurse.

There's a reason she decides to help in the infirmary. Guilt. Most of the lambs that ended up there sometimes it's because her fault. Walking around the flock, she sees everything. And Brian well know that she can't lie. She get sick when she does. So, mostly guilt is her main reason the be there.

Tho, her admiration for E.J also is important. When he's cutting open or healing someone, she's around taking notes, mesmerized by intricate a human or non-human body can be.

if your ocs name is above please write a similar description to the one that E.J has and send it to me!

[flock-of-the-divine]

AU prompt!!

draw or write how your ocs interact with the oracles (this is applicable to both oracle ocs and lambs)

[deathlyafraidofneedles]

not my best work since i’m still a bit rusty but i had fun writing this!! :3

(also i promise ill get to needles ref sheet soon)

needles sighed as she rested against the wall of the infirmary, exhaustion seeping through her bones as she tried her best to gather herself.

she had just finished treating another lamb, one who had been injured while out hunting. incidents like these weren’t uncommon, but the severity of the injuries were becoming more and more severe. like something dangerous was out there specifically targeting them.

whatever happened outside the walls of the infirmary though was of no concern to her, at least that’s what needles tried telling herself.

just then the door to the infirmary opened, snapping needles out of her daze and she sat back up from the wall, expecting another injured lamb. so when an oracle walked in, it was quite the surprise to her.

it wasn’t that oracles didn’t visit the infirmary, needles had applied fresh bandages to lexi’s arms on more than one occasion, it was more who walked in that gave her quite the shock.

one of the head oracles, brian, walked in. someone who rarely visited the infirmary unless he had to and a figure of whom she had history with. he was the one who had convinced her to join the cult in the first place. he had found her when she was at her lowest, struggling in the grasps of a drug addiction. telling her that he knew how to help. little did she know what she was getting herself into.

brian was wordless as he walked over to an empty bed and sat down. unbuttoning his shirt to reveal a nasty cut that dug deep into his side. the injuries similar to what she had been seeing more of lately.

needles tended to his wound,neither having much to say. although she was curious she didn’t dare ask any questions though it wasn’t like brian would tell her anyways. he was too loyal to the divine to share something that didn’t concern a healer.

when she had finished patching him up, he buttoned up his shirt and stood up making his way towards the door. he didn’t say a word, no sign of gratitude, though i guess this was her job after all.

before brian actually left though, he turned to face needles, pulling out a small pill bottle and throwing it to her. she caught them before the bottle could hit the ground and shook it, examining the contents inside as he left. his way of saying thanks.

💉 NEEDLES FACTS 💉

tw: mentions of drugs/drug use & addiction

since i’m still writing her backstory here are some canon facts about my oc needles ^_^

- her name 'needles' comes from the fact that she seems to always be carrying around a needle in her hand, a nickname the others called her that stuck.

- her respirator isn't for style, she needs it to live. due to many consist years of drug use, she has become dependent on drugs. she's found it's more convenient to wear a mask that circulates drugs for her instead of constantly having to inject herself.

- she was kicked out of nursing school after being caught using recreational drugs. deciding she still wanted to pursue a job in nursing, she began working at an underground hospital that specialized in experimental medicine.

- years of drug abuse has permanently altered her both physically and mentally. her eyes grew weak and rolled towards the back of her head, her skin turned a sickly pale green color, and her mind was left in an unstable state with unpredictable mood swings.

- she has a tendency to nod off at random times throughout the day. which can leave her unconscious for several minutes before waking back up.

- due to her being in a constant high, she doesn't react to pain, because it doesn't register with her.

- she tends to slur her speech, so it's often difficult to understand what she's saying, when she talks.

- despite her eyes being rolled to the back of her head she can still see through vibrations.

- her preferred method of killing is through syringe injections however she can also eliminate through the use of other medical tools such as scalpels, drills, etc.

[deathlyafraidofneedles]

i love creepypasta ocs so much, there’s no words i can use to express my love for them. i don’t care if they are serious, silly, self inserts, etc. I LOVE THEM!!

[deathlyafraidofneedles]

EYE COLLECTOR

HEADCANONS

love eye collector so i had to make hc for her

(eye collector belongs to @crepey-pastries)

- she carries around a pair her favorite eyeballs and has a habit of rolling it around her fingers and slightly squishing it.

- despite looking down on humans, a small part of her wishes she was one. though she’d never admit that anyone.

- for some reason i think her least favorite part of human’s would be their teeth? especially if they’re rotted or decayed, i think she’d find it a bit unsettling to let yourself go like that.

- even though eyeless jack was once human, eye collector actually respects him. she doesn’t see him as human, but as a similar species to her own. even if he was at one point the same thing she hunts.

- she’s very tidy. making sure that everything of hers is in order. disorganization is like a nightmare to her.

- aside from collecting eyes, she actually lives a pretty normal life. picking up hobbies such as baking and studying human biology.

Visual/Appearance

Okay contrary to popular belief, he and Toby do not look the same. All they’ve got in common is brown hair and an affinity for goggles lmao

Toby is slim, but he’s still muscular. Cody, is just full on lanky as hell.

Tall (probably like 6’2?), long legs, knobby knees and knuckles.

Got a bad case of mad scientist hair lol. It’s almost always knotted and sticking up at odd angles because he spends up to days in his lab and neglects his appearance more often than not - usually he keeps it pushed off of his forehead with his goggles to keep it out of the way

Pale as hell because he does not get outside much, with a little dusting of freckles over the bridge of his nose

Downturned, droopy green eyes. With perpetual dark circles beneath them.

Nice straight teeth (his adoptive dad pretty much forced him into getting braces) - but they’re super stained and in not great condition because he drinks way too much sugary shit.

Horrible posture - he’s curled over his lab bench like a hunchback most of the time. When he’s standing, he slouches hard.

Wardrobe

Chaotically academic.

Wrinkled sweater vests stained by chemicals and collared shirts. A faded tee that he wears under his lab coat. Either skinny jeans or slacks. A big baggy hoodie on the occasion where he’s in the lab for multiple days on end

Not big on jewelry or accessories besides his goggles. Usually wears them to keep the hair out of his face.

Always wearing a pair of gloves. He’s very, very wary about any ‘contaminants’ coming into contact with him. In the lab they’re latex or nitrile, outside of the lab they’re leather

Dresses more for practicality than comfort. Stuff that won’t snag or hinder him in his work.

Personality

Dry, pretentious, arrogant - but he doesn’t think he’s any of those things.

Cody is incredibly smart, extremely academically gifted. He didn’t go to school for any of the stuff he knows, he learned hands on and was able to retain everything. He’s perceptive. He notices things most people wouldn’t even think about.

Because of this, and because of lack of friends and peers to socialize with growing up, Cody sort of puts himself on a pedestal.

He truly, 100% believes he is the smartest person in the room in all circumstances. It’s not even a debate.

Has a real hard time forming relationships because of this, as he himself forms a barrier between him and other people. He doesn’t like to talk to people because he doesn’t believe there’s anyone out there that will get him. Understand him. Be able to keep up with how fast his brain works.

He is very solitary. Most of the other proxies (save for Toby) barely ever see him let alone speak to him. If he’s not hauled up in his lab, he’s passed out from exhaustion. Needless to say, he also - despite studying the human body day after day - doesn’t understand his own limits.

In conversation he comes off as clinically cold, and condescending. He never really means to be that way, it’s just his default. However, if you say something that actually manages to spark his interest, you’ll get to watch him soften. Curiosity sparking up in his eyes as his lips twitch into a little smile.

Definitely more of a listener than a talker. And if you come to him with your issues, he’s methodically breaking them down as opposed to support. Always choosing logic over comfort. If you’re in the wrong, he’ll tell you that point blank. Don’t ever expect him to lie for your sake.

Adding to that - brutally honest. Will tell the truth regardless of if it’ll cause issues or not. He does not care. He really lacks empathy on all fronts, and sympathy is also something he’s got to work on.

Admirably high willpower and control over his emotions. He doesn’t even bottle up things - he just views them as a lesson learned then files them away

General

Definitely autistic + a hypochondriac w/ OCPD. He needs things to be neat, sterile, and tidy at all times or he feels like he’s going to crawl out of his own skin. There’s never a hair out of place in his lab. Everything is spotless, and has his place. Despite the nature of his work, he loathes the idea of germs, disease, and contamination.

His hands are always dry and cracked from how often he washes and sanitizes them.

He doesn’t drink, smoke, or do any drugs - and he never will. His mind is his most valuable asset in his opinion, and he can’t stand the thought of hindering it at all. The idea of ‘shutting your brain off’ and ‘’mellowing out’ has absolutely zero appeal to him.

He keeps every single notebook he has ever written lab notes in. He has a cabinet stocked to the brim with them all, and they’re all the exact same 100 page composition book.

Hates the taste of coffee, lives off of energy drinks.

And when I say that, I mean it to a worrying degree. How Cody hasn’t had a heart attack is genuinely a mystery, because he will drink upwards of five a day. Stay up for days on end with no sleep, slamming a redbull the moment his eyes start to droop again.

I do believe that Cody and Toby are friends. Toby’s erratic and impulsive nature is pretty much the exact opposite of Cody’s - but he finds it interesting. Stimulating. And, he thinks that Toby is a lot smarter than what he gives himself credit for.

On the contrary, him and Jack do not get along. They but heads as the two brainiacs. Not in competition or anything like that, they just.. Don’t like each other lmfao. Jack thinks that Cody is a way too pretentious shut in, and Cody thinks that Jack is wasting his talent by using it for good (healing people). They do not interact often. When they do, it’s because it’s forced.

Though, Cody would kill to get Jack under his knife. Just to test his regenerative abilities. (He will never admit this, and it will never happen).

He has pet rats <3

He has many many lab rats that are disposable, but he has two that he keeps around and genuinely takes good care of. Their names are Remy and Darwin - they are his babies.

Definitely an insomniac. When he does sleep, it’s either: he’s taking a quick cat nap to try and get his brain going again, or he’s crashing for 12 hours because he burnt himself right out.

Doesn’t do a lot of actual ‘proxy’ work. Usually, the other proxies give Cody their kills after they’re dead, or knock them out to give him a live specimen to experiment on. Cody is the cleanup guy - he’ll have their bones dissolved and down the drain in just a couple hours after he’s done with them.

Works on things that will benefit the proxies, just as much as he does lethal drugs. Things for better stamina, numbing pain, staying awake longer. He’s their little pharmacist.

Has had a morbid fascination with the limits of the human body since he was young. Has always been drawn to just how fragile we are.

He’s not necessarily sadistic when it comes to his victims, it’s just curiosity. Wondering how much they can take. He doesn’t get a kick or pleasure out of the pain they’re in, he just jots it down and reduces their existence to a few lab notes.

Not a relationship guy. Simply doesn’t have the motivation, or interest to get involved with anything like that. His work takes all of his attention, and keeps him too busy. If it were to ever happen, said person would have to knock him off his feet.

He has a massive sweet tooth <3

Is often seen rubbing his neck because it gets sore from being hunched over all the time.

Wears reading glasses when he works, and is near sighted.

Keeps jars of body parts he found interesting on victims kept in jars of formaldehyde around his lab. Eyes from a girl with heterochromia, a crooked pinky finger, a split tongue, a skin graft from someone with vitiligo. It’s all like art to him.

He can’t stand naive people, and people who just take things at face value. He believes that curiosity, and a drive to learn is the most important quality that a human being can have.

despite her eyes being rolled to the back of her head she can still see through vibrations

her preferred method of killing is through syringe injections however she can also eliminate through the use of other medical tools such as scalpels, drills, etc.

her name ‘needles’ comes from the fact that she seems to always be carrying around a needle in her hand, a nickname the others called her that stuck
