[ How's that mini-ritual going, friends? Have you had at least three in depth conversations with people yet? Aren't we glad we did that deep cleaning right before we got new people? ]

Comments

[ Crois is taking stock of their food, especially all the crap that he and Liquorice got from the beach when they thought it might disappear. ]

We have a lot of sea salt at least . . .

[electricflock]

Want to preserve the next hunts we get?

[afineknight]

Not a bad idea. We should probably rethink what we keep from our next round of Coco rations, too.

[whenshesmiles]

Don't have to worry about food spoiling for awhile.

[afineknight]

Indeed. We should be fine as long as this cold snap doesn't last for months and months on end.

[electricflock]

[Muffin came home from the ritual and passed tf out on the cat tree for a couple solid hours. bird pulled an all-nighter waiting for the Eye to open, he NEEDED that nap.

but he woke up for dinner, and now he’s at the table writing the names of different toys down on individual slips of paper.]

Ping pong, yo-yo, hopscotch, marbles, ball, bat…

[thefinalcontract]

[Cinnamon sits across from him, tea in hand.]

Toy inventory as well? Or a wish list?

[electricflock]

Neither. Names for sheep!

[whenshesmiles]

Bomb.

[electricflock]

And Firecracker?

[rugpull]

Talked t'miss Daisy, she says there's a cold snap coming and food is gonna be scarce soon. She asked me t'gather cattails for her t'feed the sheep so m'gonna get on that so no bleedin' hearts try to feed them outta their own supply. I gots meat preserved. We oughta go see our Coco and see what her rations demon got goin' for this kinda situation.

[afineknight]

Let's all visit Coco together after this ritual ends. We can ask her questions and make sure things are fine on her end.

[electricflock]

Does she know um, how long cold usually lasts for?

[whenshesmiles]

Need help?

[apothekitty]

[ the cat did not help with the cleaning, but she has at least gotten her name(s) back. now is the time to just be coming toddling in and out to carry what she had drying in her workshop down to the basement proper. ]

[afineknight]

We managed to store quite a bit of food away, yes?

[whenshesmiles]

[ just staring at her as she goes. ]

Doctor.

[leonheartedly]

[knock knock, as usual]

[afineknight]

[ He opens the door. ]

Hola.. I should have let Maraschino answer so she could give you a countdown.

[thefinalcontract]

[It seems its an inventory sort of evening? Lots of conversation about preserving food and making lists.

Oh, to be the new person not quite sure where to contribute. He sips his tea thoughtfully, listening to this and that for a bit before adding his two mora.]

I spoke to a great many people today that also spoke of an encroaching winter. It does seem advisable to cease sharing until our own are accounted for. [It seems a little gauche as the new person to insist the team take on an act of selfishness but it isn't untrue. He doesn't think so anyway...] Many were under the impression that team Daffodil would be fine, regardless but... To remain in a sense of security like that without the proper procedure for seasons like winter could spell disaster.

[afineknight]

Fortunately, my assistant and I amassed quite a stock of sea salt not too long ago, so that's been helpful for food preservation. We've been storing things in our basement.

[rugpull]

Well my bedroom is fulla preserved meats so.

Yeh.

The others might get up our asses to try to get us t'share though.

Once the stars are out . . .

[finalbows]

<sub>[ hi daffodil it's angel devil at the door once more, waiting on his knock to get answered. Examining the grain of the wood of the barn as if it's interesting (it isn't)

He's got a covered picnic basket on his arm...? Is that the spout of a teapot poking out...? Huh. ]</sub>

[electricflock]

[SKITTER THUMP scampering to the door]

Angel Devil!

[thefinalcontract]

[Seeing as the door has been already got, Cinnamon offers the unfamiliar face a cup of tea.]

I don't believe we've met yet?
