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.

A volunteer for what?

[ding ding! return cube call!!]

Speaking of rites and self-defense. . .

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.

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 ]

What kinda help do you need?

[leonheartedly]

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

To shoot three people. It's paint.

[arrowace]

[ takes the gun


. . .


promptly shoots him ]

[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.

[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]

Ominous.

I'm listening.

[hardpity]

Is it just water...

[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?

[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]

[rugpull]

Red stinks.

[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.

[spinebuddyandme]

[ Looks at the watergun and back at Tyr, calculating ]

Just three?

[leonheartedly]

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

[leonheartedly]

Not a fan, huh?

[rugpull]

Stank fox. But if the task ain't too fuckin' stupid 'll help.

[stirtheblood]

If I could freeze to death, I woulda done that a long time ago.

[survivaltricks]

I am full of only good and non-ominous ideas and I'm offended you'd say otherwise.

[ANYWAY--]

Have I told you about my fight club yet?

[electricflock]

Yeah, the um, punching bag doesn’t punch back.

[leonheartedly]

[sigh, he expected to get shot by at least one person]

I practiced what I wanted to say before calling.

[a pause.

He looks very confused, where the hell did that come from]

[leonheartedly]

Nah, it's paint. But it was much better than the other option.
