WHO: Bluebell & anyone
WHERE: Bluebell barn
WHEN: Day 12, later morning

[WOW PHEW, TEMPO COULD HAVE GOTTEN SKINNED--if it were a construct that had skin... Thank goodness Chord and Tempo have been returned safely and relatively unharmed. Definitely time to chill--or more probably find ways to put something together to fuss on other flocks.

Rubato has been keeping busy with various things and already brought back a prize yesterday for Bluebell, with the intention to deliver a share to each flock at some point also. THIS morning, he missed the commotions because he was out very early on a self-appointed mission to begin domesticating some wildlife. He is now crouched next to Bluebell's hen hutch, warbling quietly, having a chat with some shy huddled quails he ~~lured into his clutches~~ brought back.

Visitors please watch your step as there is now a nearly completed 6ft deep, 8ft wide trench that encircles Bluebell's barn......]

[Also the present Rubato brought back yesterday is the ability to make food taste more delicious, AKA a hunk of pink rock salt. So if he's not getting the quails settled he is giving this rock a considering stare.]

Would it be best if we crushed this down into granules, do you think?

Yeah, yeah, easier to divide up and distribute that way but more importantly what are those birds?

[ THEY'RE SO CUTE........ ]

[ Vash is doing SCIENCE

aka extracting oil from some of the native plants, boiling the honeysuckle down into a sugar syrup, molding the cattail bread into distinct donut-shapes . . .

Muttering to himself: ]

This might actually work . . .

Fufu, they are common quails! This type of ground-nesting bird is readily found in many meadow environments. If we care for them properly they should be able to produce eggs for us with fair regularity! Though the eggs will be rather small [holding his fingers a little over an inch apart to show the size].

What do they need? I'll help!

I shall have to consult with a guide book to double check the details, but these mademoiselles are omnivorous, and are suited to this ecosystem, so it shouldn't be difficult to find them vegetation and insects they would like to eat. Though they can fly, they prefer to nest and forage close to the ground, so perhaps we will want to collect more logs and cover for them to shelter under to do their laying.

[Watching all of this with great fascination]

[ he can fly, so the trench is np.

around noon, Blood Fiend comes knocking, a couple of dead gatordawgs and several pygmydillos in tow. ]

[This is definitely Not The Time for a weed visit, but she's tipsy from booze (probably), Bluebell is the 'kind' team, and does that trench extend past and protect their blueberry tree? She's just gonna scan the perimeter...]

Oh! Monsieur Démon de Sang, that is quite the hunt you've brought over! How much does that weigh? [Asking more in a friendly, impressed way, and not because he doesn't know how much]

If we want to use it? Yes.

Less than a tree, that's for sure.

[ just leaving from delivering his haul. eyes her, girl you are sus ]

[knocking while nipped up]

RUBATO GIMME BERRIES OR IM GONNA TAKE EM gimme gimme gimme....

Fufu, did you often carry trees?

Ohlàlà, you would like them simply to take, dear Biscuit? I don't mind in general but I do have a flock to feed.

But I would like them very much Rubato.

Fufu, I suppose having it prepared already will certainly make it easier on dear Fantasia whenever he needs it. I do have some jars that can be used for storage already.
