spring is just around the corner


WHO: Roses (and guests? probably not)
WHERE: Rose's private pasture, just outside the barn
WHEN: Afternoon of day 49 -- morning of day 50



[Rose has a quest and it looks something like this:

[Shadow Fiend has been a little scarce since the last ritual, as she struggles to deal with temporarily having a full suite of feelings. but one of the feelings she can now feel is ~guilt~ so here she is, helping out by making some long vines start sprouting out of the ground

she doesn't look great--slouchy and tired, and noticeably less chipper than usual. her knuckles are a little raw, as if she's punched a tree or two dozen.]

Pools? How many do we need?

but she's trying to put on a cheerful face for Operation Hot Springs!]

like...this hole. Does it have to be a really deep one, or can we just make, like...a really wide but shallow one...? The hole's not gonna be one of the pools, is it?

Wouldn't that take up a lot of space? I mean, we've got the pasture to ourselves, but still. Maybe we could just have a hot pool and a cold pool side by side?

[ shows up late with a mug of chicory coffee and a yawn. he's been scarce since the coin ritual ended...


his ritual reward was being granted a fleeting wish to take a nap until he didn't have to worry about mind reading anymore. ]


Aaahh~. Must confess, I've never went about breaking ground during a frost, before...

[ oh good. He absolutely wasn't ever planning on picking up a shovel in the first place, after all. He lounges back on thin air, and waves a hand indolently, plucking a few blades of grass to spin cycle in the air beside him. Look, he's in Wait Mode. ]

Toil, minion.

[ frowns absently.

looks over what's already marked out. releases his cute little grass torment cyclone, and drifts off to a higher vantage point to make up his mind better.


any minute now, angie... ]

[ eventually, he sets down the dimensions for something big enough to splash around a lil if he wanted, setting down vines that he marks with blooms, here and there, at regular points.

he actually lands when he's done, rubbing at his cheek because he can't actually directly rub his sleepy eyes without smudging his makeup. ...didn't he have coffee. He should drink that. ]

angel devil is now very awake. His tail's out of sight, but it's going flick flick flick as he watches and anticipates her transformation. ]

[ definitely absolutely 100% didn't jump a little at the moment she hit the ground on all fours. Out in the open in what dwindling daylight's left, he can't help but regard the play of light on her dark scales, trace out her form in this rare chance to see her in truth and not be focusing entirely on anticipating an upcoming lunge...


It was worth waking up for this.

Outwardly, he grimaces and cups a hand over one of his ears at the infernal jangling. Nothing to see here, get to work!!!! ]

Oh yes. I brought my comb through it two more times than I normally do.

Hm. I don't think that should be difficult.


[ Well, he was somewhat hoping he'd have his pen handled by now, but- it's not something that will drain him. Just needs to make use of the pasture itself, really, so, he can create marked vines for digging as directed. ]
