WHO: Bluebell and associates
WHERE: Bluebell Barn
WHEN: Day 16

[ Well. The last two days have been fun, huh. Are we all sober and no longer furry?

Thanks to herd mentality, the following have materialized:

Actual beds

Actual linens for those beds

Water in our moat

And then of course there's those fountain coins . . . ]

[ At some point in the afternoon, Minuet is ringing his MAGICAL CALL TO ATTENTION bell, which he does very sparingly. This warrants it, though. ]

Hey. In case you haven't seen it yet, the eye on Death's fountain opened this morning. There's some stuff we should talk about . . .

[noarchitact]

[ no more werewolf curse, huzzah!
now let's never talk about that again... ]

What? It opened this morning? [ that doesn't sound good. not to mention the fact that there's more to be said. ] Did something happen?

[featherduster]

Yeah. Looks like she's not turning a blind eye anymore, at least for now. If something specific triggered it, though, I got no idea.

I figured we were all too drunk and strung out for anyone to have caused problems . . .

[noarchitact]

...that's kind of concerned. Do you think there's some way to talk to her, like we can talk to some of the others around here. [ ... ] Perhaps we should look into that. [ mom and dad adventure! ]

I'm pretty sure I caused a number of problems while drunk, strung out, and... [ clears his throat, turning pink. ] horny.

[axingnicely]

How are you feeling, Fantasia-san?

[ bringing him some herbal tea she made ]

[noarchitact]

Melody. [ he accepts the tea with a smile. ] I'm feeling alright... better, certainly. [ but also exhausted and embarrassed. ] I need to apologize for having acted like that. I wasn't really myself.

[plied_magic]

Thank you for the warning, Minuet.

[featherduster]

Of course. I know nobody's chomping at the bit to get killed again, but we need to be extra careful.

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ Bell... but he simply doesn't react to it this time, frowning a bit.]

. . . I suppose that she has no intention to turn her head this month. Though on some level, it is my hope that none of you are off getting yourselves killed on a regular basis, to begin with.

[ He 1000% cannot talk. ]

This does mean we need to be extra careful, though. If that fox draws everyone into something dangerous once more, we could all be in trouble.

[featherduster]

It's not in the immediate plans, no.

I'm worried about the rituals, though . . . there's more to it than just Death's eye. Maybe you should sit down.

[axingnicely]

[ hm not crazy about the way she just snaps to attention ]

[ but once they start the meeting, melody is just listening to all of this quietly ]

[featherduster]

[ He passes her the note he handed to Crescendo. ]

I know you're missing a lot of context . . . I can explain.

For a while now, the eye on the fountain has been closed. It was a message from the death goddess that she was turning a blind eye for the time being, and wouldn't immediately snatch souls if someone happened to die.

That's . . . not the case anymore, though.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[where was rubato until the letter was read? (idk i haven't figured it out yet). appearing]

I suppose the gift Death left us with must bypass that roadblock then...

[featherduster]

[ JUMPS ]

--Geez, where do you come from . . .

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ LYING DOWN ON THE BED AND HUGGING A PILLOW. ]

Uwah~ I never knew that having such a basic comfort could be so heavenly. ♪

[axingnicely]

[ giggling a little bit ]

It is nice....

[heavyliesthecrown]

I am exceedingly glad that you did not have to do without for very long. I realize that this place has not been very fit for living.

[survivaltricks]

[LATE DAY 16 (like, after dinner), after Shenanigans have been had, there's a knock on Bluebell's barn door]

[axingnicely]

[ oh hey, opening the door ]

Hello, Lupin. Please come in.

[ their barn looks so much better now ]

[survivaltricks]

[flashing her a smile as he steps inside, hands resting in his pockets]

Yo, Melody.

. . . it looks a lot better in here than it did before.

[mykidisthebest]

[knockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknockknock how did he get over the moat??? don't worry about it. he's totally dry though.]

[featherduster]

[ oh my god dude

PULLS OPEN THE DOOR ]

Where's the fire??

[mykidisthebest]

You were too slow, I just put it out. Do you have a minute? Here's a bribe.

[holds up a lil bag of peaches. here. for you.]

[axingnicely]

Hello, Lethe-san. Would you like to come in?

[ melody gives him a little smile ]

[mykidisthebest]

Yes, please. As long as you're not busy, that is! How have you been settling in?

[he's giving the peaches he brought to Minuet before coming inside]
