[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.]

[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.]

[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. ]

[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 ]

[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]

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

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

[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.

[ohlord]

[JESUS CHRIST, SLAMMING DOOR OPEN.]

Can ya knock less like you're try'na break the door down?!

[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...]

[fishfearme]

I was told your room was soundproofed. I wanted to make sure.

[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]

[ohlord]

I can hear knocks, so ya can knock normally.

[fishfearme]

Okay, I'll remember that for next time. In any case, I wanted to ask about Minuet's status.

[axingnicely]

[ that's okay. she will stop what she's doing right away and bow ]

Please pardon the intrusion. You all are taking care of our shepherd, so if there's any way I can help you, please let me know.

[axingnicely]

..... Please pardon the intrusion.

[ stepping in carefully, with permission, and bowing. also it is not fine why are you triguns like this ]

I've heard about what happened. How are you doing, Styx-san?

[fishfearme]

[Okay, Chronos wasn't expecting that. He just stared at her for a solid ten seconds, his expression utterly blank.]

.........your gratitude is misplaced. I'm not actively involved in Minuet's recovery. Please don't mind yourself with me.

[ohlord]

He's still out cold asleep.

[fishfearme]

...so, he won't be waking anytime soon.

[Damn it.]

[ohlord]

Me? Fine. Had a headache for a while, but it's eased up. Just been workin' on stuff while Sleepin' Beauty there naps.

Would've carried him over, but he's even heavier than my weapon back home and we were all pretty wiped out.

[axingnicely]

Regardless, this is your home and we are guests. [ she can kind of tell they're making him uncomfortable, too ] So.... if you don't mind, I would like to mind myself with you.

My name is Melody.

[axingnicely]

... I'm glad for that. I can make you some tea later, if you'd like.

[ but for now she wants to check on minuet :( her dumb sleepy shepherd ]

That's alright. [ shaking her head! don't feel bad for not carrying vash's fat ass over. she's sure he'd feel better around styx then he would any of them, anyway (lol). ] I only... wish there was something I could do to help the both of you.
