fountain

[y'all wanna share memories put them here! or if they were already shared in the gen mingle maybe link them here. i'm not your boss]

Re: fountain

[ohlord]

[Styx's share over here]

[fishfearme]

[Chronos isn't happy about the INTRUDERS taking up space in the barn and is lurking in the rafters like some sort of anti-social cat. Literally in the rafters, irritable and grumbling.



When he's not doing that though, he's mucking around the pond getting it ready for his Project: that being, setting up amateur DIY decking so he and Perci can bathe in it properly without getting muddy whenever they climb out of it.]

[mykidisthebest]

[waves him down from the rafters]

Come down and introduce yourself if you haven't already.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ At some point Ananke makes his way out to the pond to watch him work ]

... What are you doing?

[ohlord]

[Styx is Sir Checking On Those Tiger Lilies since it's been a day or so since all the rain.

but you might also catch him just in his room working on some honeysuckle powder, getting it prepped for making into smoke bombs and bullets.

Minuet's asleep on his bed and there's a lumpy looking pillow thing made with bloodstained (but clean) white and black fabric on the floor.

you just gotta knock to get in there since like. soundproofing is a thing for this room.]

[fishfearme]

BANG BANG BANG!!!!!!!!!!

[That's Chronos knocking, sounding like an elephant trying to batter down Styx's door.]

[arrowace]

[ Mute snuck in behind another visitor. What visitor? When? How long have they been here? Unclear.

But when Styx turns around there is The Littlest Bluebell, crouched over his man like an unwashed blue gargoyle. ]

[arrowace]

[ When Mute is visible, they are sitting in the corner holding what seems to be a crude set of pipes fashioned from reeds. At first they were fletching it together with plant fibers, adjusting notches, but finally they seem satisfied with their work. They hold the pipes in their lap awkwardly, though. This would be a lot of people to play in front of. ]

[mykidisthebest]

[offers them some tea]

Do you play a musical instrument?

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Has been occasionally eying the pipes once it became clear what Mute was making; more expectantly once they finished. It takes minute or two before curiosity wins out ]

Do those work?

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Whether they were invited to stay night 20 or not, Rubato has been popping by to check on Minuet regularly--at first seemly in a spontaneous way, but it would become clear he's actually showing up every 3 hours at exactly the hour mark. It's a good thing he's allowed to wander without having to hold Aides hostage anymore.]

[ohlord]

[except checking on Minuet means going to this guy's room and he's just going to be eyeing Rubato while working on his honeysuckle powder project.]

[arrowace]

[ just bein Rubato’s little shadow ]

[fishfearme]

[After the third visit, Chronos clocks onto the three hour pattern, so when Rubato comes for the fourth visit, Chronos is waiting for him on the doorstep, just. staring at him. with that blank "there is nothing but Wii music in my head" stare.]

...four times.

[mykidisthebest]

[watches him come and go each time with some faint amusement]

You know, you could just stick around instead of coming and going all the time.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Has definitely begun timing these ]



Are you sure you're okay with us keeping him here?

[axingnicely]

Thank you very much for everything.

[ melody is giving everyone tea and food, taking care of lily's plants, and knocking politely on the door to styx's room when she wants to see minuet ]

[fishfearme]

[As Melody goes about her helpful tasks, please excuse Chronos just kind of occasionally (okay not occasionally) checking in on her to intently observe her actions.

He's not really happy about all these strangers in the Lily barn so he just likes to know what they're doing while they're here.... sorry, Melody...]

[ohlord]

[Styx will open the door for polite knocks and then just kind of gesturing where Minuet's dead asleep on the bed. room's an organized mess of Productivity, a desk-like thing with jars of honeysuckle powder (closed so not power-stealing effective) and random leather packs of gunshells and vials of clear liquid littering it.

there's also a lumpy pillow thing made of bloodstained (but clean) black and white cloth on the floor. it's fine.

more noticeably, sound doesn't seem to carry inside the room to the outside and vice-versa when door is closed]

[hardpity]

[ someone is SIR NOT LEAVING HIS ROOM but he can be bothered in his room. ]

[mykidisthebest]

[knocks on his door, he has a bribe of SWEET TEA AND SNACKS]

You don't have to come out, but can I come in?

[spinebuddyandme]

[ At first glance, it looks like Ananke's studying away. He's gotten some gardening books from the library, and he's scribbling away in an open notebook. A closer look at his "notes", however, and it's clear that all he's been doing is doodling an array of stick figures fighting each other across the page ]

[mykidisthebest]

[peeks over his shoulder to snoop and provides no commentary. cool stick figures.]

sheep fiend

[catposting]

[ if you're Lily, you might recognize a certain white sheep with felt cat ears, a string tail, and drawn-on abs. days 17-20, it would have been either sulking outside Perci's door or sleeping with Perci. yes it's cosplaying Blood Fiend. long story.

it pings as a normal dead sheep. no superpowers, no mental or spiritual connection to anyone on the pasture.

it'll try to follow Perci around now that he's awake. but Perci can't take care of it all the time, so you might see Sheep Fiend walking around the barn on its stubby little sheep legs. if you've ever held a door for it, it'll try to do the same for you. (it will look stupid and fall over.) if you've ever carried it, it might try to carry??? you??? if you look lost or in need of help.

Bluebells, feel free to say hi. please don't be weird, Rubato ]

Re: sheep fiend

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ We'll say it is day 20. And Crescendo is lurking from a corner, stalking his prey... ]

rites rights

[endsjustified]

[at SOME POINT Day 21 Charon kind of quietly gathers up all of Lily for a brief chat; any Bluebells who show interest are beckoned along as well in case Minuet didn't have time to pass all the info on.]

There's been a bit of a delay on this, with everything that's been happening, but while we were fighting Patches and those wolves the other day, it seems a large group found some kind of mural, and some new information, elsewhere in the pasture. For whoever hasn't been caught up on that by someone else, here's the information Minuet gave me.

[he'll hand around the sketch of the mural Minuet provided and summarize aloud the flock descriptions and festival description as needed, as well as noting how the group found the mural by following the stars, touched it to make gems show up on bells and staffs, and needed a shepherd to read the mural text. i have no idea who has learned what in the intervening time but assume whatever info you weren't filled out on before, you are now.]

What is not public knowledge is what presumably all shepherds learned, as soon as the group resurfaced. It seems each flock has a set of activities they can now perform for more powerful invocation of herd mentality. Lily's is anything centered around, ah..."therapy, vent sessions, confessions and anonymous talk, and giving advice"; other flocks' activities must be similarly thematic.

So that's something to think about if we want to produce anything big for the barn, I suppose.

We're the therapists!?

sometime day 22

[featherduster]

[ Someone with the bedhead of the century is attempting to...... sneak out of Lily..... unnoticed......................





This will be foiled if Lily and Bluebell are still just fucking. In the living room of the barn. ]
