winter is un-brr-lieveable

[leonheartedly]

WHO: anyone!
WHERE: cube call/your barns/the pasture
WHEN: day 44, late morning/afternoon

[once people head home after the ritual ends and have some time to settle in, everyone gets a cube call]

Hi. For those who don't know me, I'm Tyr from Thistle.

I know some of you are already preparing for the cold - but if you're not, you should start. I want to help make that a little easier, hence the call. So, I'll be stopping by everyone's barns to drop off some things.

The first is a piece of paper with ways to keep you and your barns warm. It's all practical, meaning you don't need anything special to do any of it. Some of it's common sense but I included it anyway.

I stuck a copy of it in the clinic's book, too. You're welcome to add to it if there's something you think I missed or should be included.

For the other thing, I'll need a volunteer from your barn. It's something for Red and in return you'll be getting some tools for your flock. I'll give more details in person, but anyone can do it. Or you can refuse, that's fine too.

Lastly, a few people have mentioned wanting to learn some self defense, so I'm putting the offer out there to teach anyone who wants to learn. Basic survival lessons, too.

Anyway, thanks for your time. Feel free to call me back if you have questions.

Volunteer . . . for what?

[leonheartedly]

[he offers them the paper, then holds up a water gun]

To shoot three people. It's paint.

Peony

[ PEEKS SUSPICIOUSLY OUT OF A PORTAL. just like his whole head pokes out ]

A volunteer for what?

[leonheartedly]

[that's one way to answer, he holds out the piece of paper and a water gun]

To get the tools I mentioned. You need to shoot three people with this.

[survivaltricks]

[ding ding! return cube call!!]

Speaking of rites and self-defense. . .

[leonheartedly]

Ominous.

I'm listening.

WEED TREEHOUSE

[stirtheblood]

[Notably the weed treehouse is... a treehouse. It has had no structural upgrades since Thistle got it for them. It does not have insulation. It does not have plumbing. It is unfurnished except for beanbags and minifridges and whatever else people have dragged in. It definitely does not have any indoor heating mechanisms, though there is a cooking pit dug outside.

Also notably Edgelord is still wearing his normal outfit with his abs out.

He does not take the paper and just looks at Tyr in general bafflement]

Common sense, huh...? I don't need none o' that.

[leonheartedly]

[there are so many concerning things about all of this.

Edgelord saying he doesn't need common sense most of all. He sighs, but keeps holding the paper out]

You need a little bit. You don't want to freeze, do you?

Daffodil

[secondbornsun]

[ tart is fully assuming crois has already been volunteered for this so he isn't bothering to respond but tyr is of course always allowed in daffodil regardless ]

[leonheartedly]

[Crois is volunteered if he wants to be, he will politely leave the paper with Crois/whoever gets the door.

Tart as always will get a wave if he's awake, sup]

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Working outside in Lily's garden when he stops by ]

What kinda help do you need?

[leonheartedly]

It's more like helping me help you. [he holds out the water gun] It's paint. You just need to shoot three people and you guys'll get some tools.

[arrowace]

[ snipes him from the shadows lmao get good ]

[electricflock]

[muffin is also assuming crois has already been volunteered for whatever red wants, BUT]

Thank you for the tips, um.

…I already know self defense, but can I practice?

[leonheartedly]

Yeah, of course you can. It's better to practice with someone, right?

[rugpull]

Red stinks.

[leonheartedly]

Not a fan, huh?

[aididitmyway]

[hey sorry one second tyr, this is for important things like family pictures

so that's why lyra's gonna be kissing sonata in front of his and the whole pasture's salad]

[beathollow]

( you ever go flower-picking only to be dipped and kissed in public by your new girlfriend who you were already kinda sorta totally dating


anyways, loud purring abound, even if she is VERY !!!!! about it )

[catposting]

[ meanwhile, on Clover's roof, a familiar family photo falls on Fifi's head ]

[leonheartedly]

[aww, the girls are being cute]

Rose? (cubecall)

[strateelgic]

What kind of tools?

[leonheartedly]

Ax, shovel, and a couple of other things. I know people might have those, but it doesn't hurt to have more than one.

[debug_mode]

We don't have a barn.

...But, what is it?

[leonheartedly]

[is this a call or in person]

You have a clubhouse, don't you?

[papartner]

[ new lily, who dis. Kinda blinking for a sec at the cube call, because this is new. Also a lot of info, though one thing in particular draws most of his attention. ]

Um, yeah, okay. Here's the question - you mean like wilderness survival lessons?

[leonheartedly]

[oh hey, new Lily adult]

That's right. Basically what you'd need to know to survive a night or two with or without the right tools.

[endsjustified]

[rings back, though not immediately]

This was very thoughtful; thank you, Tyr. Did you get a volunteer from Lily already?

[leonheartedly]

Just trying to help. [he nods] Ananke volunteered, I ran into him outside.
