THISTLE BARN

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

[Making your way to your new barn, you'll find your personal meadow is peppered with purple flowers, the occasional purple brainless sheep, a small pond full of clear, fresh water, and curiously a big, blooming fig tree. It figures it'd be figs!

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

The first thing you see is your team's name painted in purple 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 thistle 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!]

[he has been clinging to his staff since he arrived, for no real reason other than he feels like he should?? but anyway]

[don't mind him as he stares at the purple sheep with an eyepatch on the wall]

"Every thorn has thorns." Hn.

Poetic.

[waltzes straight past him to touch the thing and get some powers]

[hey??? hey?????]

Impatient. . .

[but he's touching it a few seconds later]

A bit after arrival...

[ He is... at least slightly bruised in the face. ]

Everyone. I'm supposed to demonstrate how healing works... so I'm going to need... [ SIGH. ] another volunteer. These sheep have bad taste.

[NOT MUCH VISUALLY. . . he touches the sculpture, blinks a few times, and then draws his hand back to stare at it]

Ah-- that was painless.

What do you say, shall we try it out?

[He looks at them both, like he's trying to judge if they lost their minds or got poisoned or something. They look all there right now, but you never know.]

What'd it do?

[to the nameless detective prince]

Here? I thought you didn't want to be seen as a threat.

[and then, to the nameless redhead]

What it said on the sign. We regained some abilities we lost.

And-- hn. . . something else.

[personal profile] literal_trainwreck 2023-04-30 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
I said I didn't want to be seen as a threat until after I'd gathered information. If I can do both at the same time, that's a win-win situation.

[to the redhead, with a grin that is decidedly more unhinged than before:]

Touch it and find out.

[Well he was about to but then kindergarten cop over here just gave him that look and now he's hesitating.

See this is why Akira is the leader.

Come on, let's take it outside.

[I want!! to fight!]

[giving Akechi a mild Look, but after a moment-- yeh they should get this out of their system first]

I don't thin "patience" is in your vocabulary.

[AND OUT THEY GO]

[a curious tilt of his head. and, after a moment--]

Well?

[He glows red, gives a little jump, and now he's standing on the ceiling.

Hi.

Yep, all good.

As fun as it is to call you guys stuff like "nerd" and "old guy" and stuff, I think we're gonna need to share some actual names if we're gonna get anything done here. And if your memory's fucked up like mine is then it might mean having nicknames for a while until things get sorted out.

[Come share your names, everyone. Or get one assigned.]

[personal profile] literal_trainwreck 2023-04-30 04:30 am (UTC)(link)
I'm simply eager to test out our new abilities.

[From the ceiling:]

Go for it, tell me what you find out.

[snorts] Old guy . . . you know, one day you're gonna be thirty too, and it's not gonna be as far away as you think.

I thought of a temporary name for myself.

[personal profile] shortforever 2023-04-30 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
[This does not feel like the right time to say he probably won't make it to 30. So instead-]

Yeah? What'd you pick?
