WHO: Sheep
WHERE: Pasture
WHEN: Evening 42 - Morning 43

[IT'S NIGHTTIME AGAIN SHEEPIES AND THAT COMES WITH ANOTHER BITTER COLD SNAP.

But man did you know?? Heating and cooling and heating and cooling rapidly is really bad for pipes??

Shepherds - Roll 1d10!! If 5 or lower, congrats, SOME PIPES BURST IN YOUR BARN. Enjoy your flooding! If 6 or higher, you are spared.

Additionally, if your pipes burst, roll ANOTHER 1d10! If 5 or lower, congrats, all your food storage has been soaked and is now inedible! This is fine. If higher than 5, only a 4th of it is soaked.

OTHERWISE, HOW YALL DOING!]

[ OK SO I ROLLED A 1 BUT WE HAD NO FOOD STORES TO RUIN AND PEONY'S SHEP IS A GENIUS ENGINEER

JUST PATCHING THE PIPES WITH WELDING. HE'S USING HIS HAND AS A BLOWTORCH ]

[sparksystem]

[ also good news is we have a portal magic power so. Pegasus will fingergun portal water. Outside the barn. Sorry if anyone walks by ]

[quarantotto]

[Leans in to look at the patch job]

How significant was the burst?

[mykidisthebest]

[knock knock he's stopping by! to check! on them! half the barn's pipes seem to have burst,]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ ALSO COMING BY TO CHECK AT SOME POINT eyeing the portal water for a minute before knocking ]

[eonsadrift]

[ PIPES BURST IT'S ALL FLOODED NOTHING SURVIVES

Zenith is hovering near the pipes (and above the water), but Clover's barn is in a PRETTY BAD STATE right now. ]

[aididitmyway]

[lyra's crying over all the broken jars and tupperwares that are getting devoured by sheep in the yard]

I SPENT SO MUCH TIME WORKING ON THIS!

[aididitmyway]

[if you need lyra she is surrounded by broken dreams jars and tupperware and green sheep eating everything

she's also crying]

[survivaltricks]

[UUUUUM]

[he could see her crying all the way from Thistle, so. . . approaching, albeit cautiously, just in case now is a very bad time]

Lyra?

[endsjustified]

[

Lily's fine.

Charon is, unusually, in the woodshop late night 42, cutting a bunch of planks down to size. he's made some mistakes that lie discarded to one side along the way, but hey, he hasn't cut any body parts off yet, and those can always be used for firewood in this cold-ass weather.]

[wants_the_phd]

[She peeks in to see who's making this racket at this time of night]

[apothekitty]

[ WELL

good thing she didn't move EVERYTHING into Daffodil's basement?? ]






Ah. We were too complacent.

[secondbornsun]

[ probably has turned the main water valve off by this point so at least the barn is not continually flooding ]

Fuck—oi, you okay?

[catposting]

[ he's??? punching pipes outside of Clover barn because the rest of his team is doing it????

oh right he's Clover now sup ]

[finalbows]

<sub>[ literally hovering squinting from the Rose pasture in his shiny red nightie and robe like ????? ???? ???? Excuse ??? Me????

he's got a steaming mug in his hand. he was having Going To Bed tea when the commotion began outside ]</sub>

[featherduster]

[ OKAY WELL THE DISTANT SOUNDS OF BURST PIPES AND RUNNING WATER AND CRYING AND PUNCHING DOES LURE HIM OUTSIDE



it does nothing to help him understand what the FUCK is going on ]

Is everyone alright--?!

[arrowace]

[ is instantly Up and Awake and ready to FACE INTRUDER

However, now that they see what made the noise their are just standing there pointing their drawn bow at the leaking pipes???? ]

[strateelgic]

[Rose food stores are safe and so is Leviathan's sanity.]

[readytosqueeze]

[ good... he's happy ]

[survivaltricks]

[THISTLE SHEP ROLLED A 10, THISTLE IS SPARED]

[but the burst pipes and such are causing enough of a commotion that he's poking his head outside of Thistle's window like ???]

. . . did something happen?

[nobetawedielike]

Lily is okay. There's food everywhere?

[ her voice is more of a hushed whisper but she's TRYING ]

[nobetawedielike]

[ she's coming out wrapped in as many blankets as she can manage, looking worried at all the noise ]

Is - Is everyone okay?

[arrowace]

The pipes have rebelled.

[secondbornsun]

[

THE SAVANNA DOESN'T HAVE WINTERS HOW COULD THIS HAPPEN TO FURRIES

immediately shutting the main water valve in daffodil WE HAVE NO WATER UNTIL THIS IS FIXED also press F to pay respects to our food ]

[mykidisthebest]

[he is stopping by to check things out when he hears pipes bursting]

Need any help over here?

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Ananke has also come out to see what chaos is happening now ]

Did Blossom do something...?

[wooliefrand]

[sneezes somewhere far off]

[heavyliesthecrown]

[Another attempt at memories, seeking confirmation of his father's state.

. . . He does not receive it, this time around. But he does learn a little more about his cousin and a friend.

Bundled up with a hat and gloves, he tosses his first coin. The memory that reflects within the water brings him all the way back to when he was six or seven years old. It seems the adults and family are worried about him because he cannot get over the death of his grandfather so easily. At the very least, it seems his baby cousin is his first friend...?

The second memory deals with another friend, but one at his current age. It seems he ran across him while out to do business-- but then Crescendo panics and hides upon realizing he isn't quite sure how to interact normally with individuals his own age. Despite suffering from some social anxiety, his friend, who apparently sees...colors? Manages to help bring him out of his shell a little, and they both hang out and make future plans!

Friendship... he clearly isn't used to it, but he's trying.

((Those who watch the memories are able to hear his thoughts within the memories themselves.))]

[finalbows]

_{[ there's a ceramic clink as Angel Devil puts down a mug on the fountain's rim, as the second scene concludes. ]}

Ha, ha... even... regular human beings, struggle with learning how to spend time around one another, huh...?

_{[ / wandered over here after he flounced off to not have to think about the cat's new flock, hi. ]}

[electricflock]

[muffin is blissfully unaware of pipe problems for now. he's out, he's got an errand to take care of tonight!

he's at the fountain, bundled in a chocolate chip muffin-print blanket for winter wear, and counting through a handful of tokens. does he throw this one? or that one...? Or...

BOTH?

...a furious Kit launching himself up into a tree. Red decorations shake and tumble around them as he drags the interloper down from the branches. The two gryphons crash thrashing to the ground and the call goes up from the other gryphons in their bower trees: Fight! Fight! Fight!

...The lines at intermission were packed and Kit's nerves were ratcheting higher every second he was stuck waiting. He'd felt eyes on him the entire time, like somehow the real VIP patrons could tell he was there with a free ticket and a borrowed suit. But all that washes away when he escapes back to their private box— back to Amadeus. His new husband looks up from watching the orchestra mingle below and greets Kit with a dazzling smile, chirping and beckoning him over excitedly. An enamel band glitters on his wrist, identical to the one around Kit's.]

[rugpull]

GET HIS ASS!

[leonheartedly]

[like everyone else, he's stepping out to see what all the chaos is about]

What the hell - ?

[beathollow]

Several barns had their pipes burst.

( going off how she's half-soaked... clover might be one of them. )

[poisonista]

[ He's been given the weird rundown and is currently looking around. Why is there such a commotion... ]

... this isn't some kind of fae joke, is it.



[ Knowing the fae he does, it's not unlikely. Ugh. His head feels so foggy, though. Don't mind this very beautiful young man looking rather stylish against the cute... chaos?! And very confused as he just looks around in bafflement. ]

[aididitmyway]

[she seems a bit frazzled but she does pause from her gathering of the glass jars and food and tossing clover's green sheep out of the way]

It's more of a cosmic joke than a fae joke.

[sunflowering]

[ . . . It is getting heckin' cold and that sucks as a new weed who only owns a torn-up outfit. So she is just standing on the fountain ledge holding up a sign like the penniless weed she is.

Will work for seasonal-appropriate clothes!
Tougher than I look! A good worker!!

Below that, in smaller writing, is an add-on.

Also need to get in touch with a clinic doctor if there is one.

When she spots you, she lifts a hand up cheerfully.]

Hey there! Need any help around your barn?

[afineknight]

[ He's taking a walk because, you know. pipes. But he stops when he sees the weed and her sign, raising an eyebrow. ]

Too much, I'm afraid. But I am a doctor.

[shortforever]

[At some point on the morning of day 43, an object shoots up out of Thistle meadow and high into the sky. Anyone who's been around Odin for even a short amount of time will recognize the red glow around this object.

Seconds later, it explodes into a purple firework show that will last for 30 minutes.

Shortly after the explosions start, everyone will get a cubecall from Odin.]

Hey, that was us. Don't worry, everything's under control.

[beathollow]

( as she's being shuffled over to thistle )

...

Well.

[rugpull]

[post emergency biscuit is poking at the flooded garden tiredly, face blank

suffering hyena

come gloat]

[featherduster]

[ Arriving at Daffodil at the usual time in the morning, little bag of berries in hand.

. . . Presumably Biscuit is shuffling around making noise, so: ]

Yo!

[arrowace]

[ IF YOU LOST YOUR FOOD the weird little Bluebell cryptid is wordlessly approaching you and offering a handful of dead crickets. unless lots of people have taken them up on their cricket offer in which case they are offering you like three dead crickets but its the thought that counts right? ]

[electricflock]

[cheeps. eep? eep?]

For me?

[ohlord]

[this Lily has stolen a Bluebell's cozy sweater for warmth because it is FUCKING COLD.

he's also out in Lily's meadow just generally checking on plants and FROWNING because... ... actually, what do you do with plants when it gets cold? he sure doesn't fucking know.]

[leonheartedly]

[welcome to winter it's awful.

He pauses to watch Styx for a moment, curious]

. . . everything all right?
