LILY BARN

[wooliefrand]

Who: Lily
Where: Lily Barn
When: Day 1, Post Awakening

[Making your way to your new barn, you'll find your personal meadow is peppered with white flowers, the occasional white brainless sheep, a small pond full of clear, fresh water, and curiously a big, blooming peach tree. Isn't life so peachy???

When you enter your barn, you'll find it's. . .quaint.

The first thing you see is your team's name painted in white on a wall, surrounded by a wreath of flowers. Above it is a wooden plaque with an inspirational message in the style of those Live, Laugh, Love fixtures, just. A bit hard to read.

Your eyes will be drawn to a tall crystalized lily sculpture below the plaque. You may feel the urge to touch it, and if not, some nearby framed instructions on the wall may give you a nudge. "Touch to regain your lost abilities!"

Unfortunately, while you may innately know how to activate them, what exactly do they do? You'll have to figure that out.

As for the rest of the barn itself, it's two stories and fairly basic. There is hay everywhere, and six extremely basic cots, three upstairs, three downstairs. If you examine them and remove the hay, each member of the team will find three outfits (+pajamas) for their use.

There is also a sign pointing the way to an attached portapotty--thankfully, it somehow opens up to a basic bathroom. There's one toilet, one very small bath, rickety shower, and sink. In the cabinet is enough soap, paper, and dental hygiene products for all.


Rustic is putting it lightly, but it seems that this is your home away from home!]

[at some point when he gets exasperated enough with interrogating the new sheep overlords he'll come in here and start giving it a lookover, yeah. if he touches the lily sculpture it's either before the rest of the team comes in or after they've all stopped paying attention to that area.

For Fuck's Sake, I Have a Headache, his expression says throughout. please talk to him. maybe lessen it. or make it worse if you want, you do you]

[lapdogged]

[This guy looks kinda... constipated?]

Uh. What's up with you?

[Beat.]

Aside from the whole 'we've been kidnapped by blood cultist sheep' thing, I mean.

[endsjustified]

That, and that this building is a fire hazard, largely.

[at least he doesn't sound pissed? just kind of neutral-flat affect but you know]

[lapdogged]

"Touch to regain your lost abilities?" Ah, shit...

[Not only did he have enough baggage about his powers to sink the Titanic, he also didn't have his limiter to control said powers. But he didn't want to be completely without them because... what if he needed them in this bizarre, fucked up place?!]

Ugh, here's hoping there aren't any espers in this barn. Living in close quarters is gonna be unpleasant...

[Mumble, mumble, mutter, mutter.]

[restage]

Why hoping for that?

[ Here's Nyx, going "???" about the esper comment. ]

[lapdogged]

Oh, uh...

[Damn, this was awkward. He'd hoped his limiter would've been on him, since everyone came here with the clothes on his back, but the damn thing was gone. He bet those sheep stole it.]

I have powers that don't... mix well with others. I usually have a limiter, but it's not on me right now.

[hardpity]

Maybe it's an... open-world base-building team isekai...?

[restage]

If so, I'd like to hit the level where we have less hay.

[hardpity]

Hay isn't... bad... a-as a beginner home base it's pretty standard.

[ohlord]

[hi, hello.

he's gonna be staring at the peach tree for forever.

he's working through some things.]

[restage]

[ Finally comes to the barn... ]

...guess we should discuss things.

[endsjustified]

[nothing in here clarifies anything that was confusing outdoors. incredible]

"Blood sacrifice," then?

[restage]

We apparently have to make a choice as a full team. [ He heard that part. ]

And...we need something to call one another.

[ "Hey, you" is going to get old fast. ]

[hardpity]

[ holding a sheep like a child holds a cat ]

Y-yeah. L-like that whole blood thing and the weird i-instructions and everything...

[restage]

The instructions have a lot to do with tears...

[lapdogged]

About how fucked up this entire situation is? Because let me just say: this situation is really fucked up.

[ohlord]

[long stare off to the side...]

Know a guy here who's gonna make a big stir 'bout the sacrifice thing. Blue collars and bell.

Rather we don't enable him doin' it to himself or somethin'.

... Green's got a kid. [holding up a hand to show the 4'7" height.]

Chores!!!

[lapdogged]

Oh wait, one other thing. We've been pretty efficient choosing names and sacrifices and figuring out how to cheat the blood cultist sheep, but... there's something pretty important we've overlooked.

[He pointedly looked around them. At all the. hay.]

If we're living here for at least a week... we've gotta do chores. I'm not living like this. We're not actually sheep.

[restage]

Sure, no complaints here.

[ Makes sense!!! ]

I'm decent at most things when it comes to chores. [ He lived alone in his first life and was a full adult so. ] There's nothing I particularly dislike, so I'm fine with whatever.

Re: Chores!!!

[hardpity]

Normally I'd use a machine to clean up... b-but if I can't I could always summon some fairies.

Re: Chores!!!

[endsjustified]

I am agreeable to chores.

[gives the space a Look again...living in a barn is just truly not his fave]

And construction, if we can find the resources to manage it.

Re: Chores!!!

[ohlord]

[awkward awkwardness of living the life of an assassin so most of your skills are...]

... I guess I can cook a little...? Or just huntin' if someone else can cook better. I dunno a lot of the stuff here.

[anyway also at some point Charon got a notepad so he is writing out a non-Zalgo version of this nonsense in a very neat hand to show everyone:]



Do any of you recognize this language, and if so, can you translate this?

Re: blossom's book

[ohlord]

[guess who was raised in a Christian orphanage.]

... I mean, I recognize it but hell if I know what it means.

[squints at the words]

Re: blossom's book

[restage]

It's...not like I can't...
