CLOVER BARN

[wooliefrand]

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

[Making your way to your new barn, you'll find your personal meadow is peppered with green flowers, the occasional green brainless sheep, a small pond full of clear, fresh water, and curiously a big, blooming grape tree. Grapes don't grow on trees I know don't be sour grapes about it.

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

The first thing you see is your team's name painted in green 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 clover 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!]

[Eventually, after freaking out, she does wander over to Clover though]

This place is going to need a lot of work...

[beathollow]

Ah- yes... it'll be difficult to keep clean. ... Have you seen a kitchen at all?

[veurr]

What are you talking about?

Have you seen the little house outside? Ort he beds?

[lullabyonacloudynight]

Isn't it fine, if we're just going to give it back to the sheep later?

[Tone a little sullen.]

[adorabrawler]

Tell me about it. It's all hay, hay, and more hay.

[beathollow]

( it has been not even an hour and she's already just...

cleaning up. sweeping hay to the side. doing normal things. this is normal. her new normal anyways. )

[veurr]

Wow. You got to work fast.

[eonsadrift]

[ He's leaning against a wall, just watching her. ]

Don't you think this is a waste of time?

[veurr]

It's cozy...

[ A genuine statement, because it's not hard to meet his weird view but he still looks ??? Probably because there's very little he remembers and whatever this is doesn't fit into it. 'This' being the statue and a sign talking about lost powers and ominously 'gamble your life'. ]

So. Uh. That doesn't sound promising, at all.

[adorabrawler]

... At least we can curse our enemies?

[adorabrawler]

[ ... lifting a sheep up from one of the cots. ]

This is it?

[lullabyonacloudynight]

Peak hospitality. ...For sheep.

[eonsadrift]

[ One of the first things he's going to do in the barn is touch the sculpture. It doesn't seem to give him what he wants, but it does give him something.

He pulls his hand away and looks confused. ]

...it didn't give me the right abilities. What kind of joke is this?

[aididitmyway]

... Abilities?

[adorabrawler]

The right ones?

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[At least this boy in black is easy to see amid the piles of hay, which is good because he's just going to flop on one face down immediately after Touching The Thing.
Is he unconscious or is he sulking? It's difficult to determine.]

[eonsadrift]

[ Since he's resigned himself to helping clean up the barn, once he comes across him he prods the boy with his broom. ]

...hey. You have to get up. You're in the way.

[aididitmyway]

[Well. She might as well use her staff to try to get everyone's attention, she's banging it against the wall.]

We need to figure out what to call each other and who we're choosing as a sacrifice.

[beathollow]

Oh...

( ... she doesn't want to sacrifice anyone. ??? may be deflating a little, here. )

[lullabyonacloudynight]

I'm not scared of pricking my finger. So I can do that much.

[eonsadrift]

I don't care what you call me. Any name is fine.

...but we're not chickening out of choosing a team to sacrifice. It's our best chance to get out of here, so we need to participate.

[adorabrawler]

Do we have to call it a sacrifice if it's just a prick?

[veurr]

I'm not so sure about choosing anyone.

Those sheep didn't look like they even finished reading their own book... giving someone to any of them sounds like a really bad plan.

LATER

[beathollow]

In order to gain a bow and arrows, I've been asked to get "spider sheep thread" from the forest- Red insisted I take someone with me. So... who'd like to explore?

Re: LATER

[aididitmyway]

Mm! Let's go!

The more we know the better, right? But—you know how to use a bow and arrow?? That's so cool!

AT SOME POINT...

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[The Clover Kids realize they have magically appearing dice at their disposal, and through some form of makeshift arts and crafts they have written up LISTS to go up on the walls with all the inspirational stuff. Lists of today's MAIN TOPICS OF DEBATE.

Like... NAMES.
Apparently they managed to narrow it down to two brackets... which can also be rolled between, and then many names to also be picked out via dice.

How many of them actually went with the dice approach, though?]

Re: AT SOME POINT...

[lullabyonacloudynight]

[I can't believe the dicebot told him to get MORE BROCON
Noah rolled "Cacophonie" and seems to be oddly okay with this, despite having said he wanted a cute name like Blossom? Weird.

Well, we say "oddly okay with this", but actually he looks very sad for a brief moment. But he'll tuck that look away soon enough.]
