ROSE BARN

[wooliefrand]

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

[Making your way to your new barn, you'll find your personal meadow is peppered with red flowers, the occasional red brainless sheep, a small pond full of clear, fresh water, and curiously a big, blooming apple tree. One a day will keep doctors away! Because there are none.

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

The first thing you see is your team's name painted in red 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 rose 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!]

Oh, sorry about that! But if you don't want people to mistake you for your twin brother, maybe you should both try wearing your hair differently? Or wearing different clothes? Just a thought!

[strangeheadfellows]

Haah? No way, no way! Who has the time to change clothes or hairstyle every time?

[tilting her head quizzically]

Every time? Like...every time you wake up??? That's just a once-a-day kind of thing, isn't it? Depends on how often you nap, I guess.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

[a vague shrug]

It varies? Lately we'd been doing it a few times a day, but we've also gone months without it.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[pleasantmisery]

[ok, she is well and truly confused now]

You mean...napping?? Waking up????

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

Huh? Naw, I don't really need to sleep at all. I mean changing with the kid.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[pleasantmisery]

Oh! Is this some kind weird magic thing that he has? Or, well, that both of you have, I guess.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

The magic's aaaaall mine, s'just the body that's his.

Originally.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[pleasantmisery]

But not anymore?

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

Well, it's my body now. I'm just generous enough to allow that kid to hang in here too.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

[EXCUSE YOU, from soul zone]

Don't tell people that! I'm the one letting you stay. When you lied and left before you gave it back.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

Gyahahaha! Shouldn't you be more grateful that I let you have those three years all to yourself?

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

I'm not grateful at all! But I still won't let go of a gift so it's mine again.

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[pleasantmisery]

Hmmm... I'm not sure I get it, but they do say that possession is nine-tenths of the law! Do you have your own name or does his name belong to you too?

1/???

[strangeheadfellows]

Of course I have my own name, it's—

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

... It's.....

Re: GREED IS DRIVING

[strangeheadfellows]

done

[strangeheadfellows]

The hell's going on?! Where did it go, why can't I remember?!?

Re: done

[pleasantmisery]

Oh, don't worry! Nobody here remembers their name!

Re: done

[strangeheadfellows]

And you're just okay with that?

Re: done

[pleasantmisery]

I do remember everything other than my name, so at least I've got that going for me! Besides, sometimes losing your name just...happens! It happened to a guy I knew, even.

Re: done

[strangeheadfellows]

[well. she kind of has a point there]


Uhhhhh-huh?

Re: done

[pleasantmisery]

And he's totally fine! So really, having your name ripped out of your memories is really the least of our problems here, don't you think? I mean, aside from the logistical ones. But "hey, you!" always works in a pinch!

Re: done

[strangeheadfellows]

No way, someone as amazing as me needs a proper name.
