[There's a weed letting out an undignified shriek as she falls onto a bunch of sheep, oh noooo]

[rugpull]

Nice.

[phoenixwrong]

[immediately flustered when she hears 'nice', trying to roll around to pull herself back up and try to regain some dignity]

What about this would you call nice!?

[rugpull]

It was funny.

[phoenixwrong]

[Up and brushing herself off now]

Hardly!

[rugpull]

I know comedy when I see it, mam.

[phoenixwrong]

You've terrible taste in comedy.

[rugpull]

Hyenas are known for our laughter.

[adorabrawler]

[ ... just watching........ ]

Their poor backs...

[phoenixwrong]

Everyone's poor backs!

[she's already at least trying to check the sheep over]

[adorabrawler]

—Oh, is yours okay? Usually the sheep give a soft landing.

[phoenixwrong]

It... was sufficient, though I can't say that I am without aches or pains.

[adorabrawler]

Mmm... I can heal if you need it, unless you think you can rest it off.

[phoenixwrong]

I... will be fine. Though I do thank you for the offer.

[it's mostly her bruised dignity and no one can heal that.]

[ In the late morning and afternoon, Scarab (and potential assistants) is hard at work at various points along the pasture's fence installing a rudimentary trip-wire and flare gun based alarm system. Now if the fence is breeched a flare gun should trigger nearby to alert people in the pasture of incoming danger — a minor upgrade while more serious plans are still in progress ]

[dadinside]

[sifting through the materials, then looking up to survey the area. seems like he's mulling over options.]

Are lethal traps out of the question?

[spinebuddyandme]

They are. There are many inexperienced individuals in the pasture who may trigger a trap by mistake. I am not opposed to injury, but we should avoid any lethal options.

[dadinside]

[so nothing good. he forgets how inexperienced some might be... especially because he doesn't leave the barn much.]

Could construct trapping pits without the spikes. Additionally, hang sacks of rocks in the trees and use tripwire to set them off.

[not lethal, but will slow down enemies.]

[mykidisthebest]

[there is a whole list of items to follow up on, traps to be made, defenses to be shored up, and information to be gathered as the pasture readies itself for what will most likely be a fight. but in the early hours of the morning Lethe is pausing all of that work to set up shop inside of the Lilybell kitchen with the necessary ingredients to make a cake.

it's not something that has to be done. not compared to everything else. but it's important all the same.]

[we can say this is Early Enough to be before they head into the forest for the limbus trip. Charon knocks on the doorsill twice as he comes in the kitchen shortly after]

[mykidisthebest]

Good morning, Charon.

[half turns to make sure it is Charon he's talking to, before he tips his head towards an empty mixing bowl on the counter]

I haven't even started baking yet.

[endsjustified]

Then I can help from the start, can't I?

[mykidisthebest]

[gestures towards the wet ingredients as an indication that he can start working on portioning out those]

As long as you're not too busy. We're going to collect more limbus today, but I wasn't sure if you had any plans before that.

[endsjustified]

No, I was doing some organizational work, but that's easy enough to do in the space everyone's asleep. The rest other people have charge of, or it can wait until the forest trip is done.

[mykidisthebest]

Delegation can work wonders. That gives us just enough time to bake some cakes and leave them out to cool. It's to bad we don't have strawberries, but those are usually for Christmas cakes anyways...

[starts putting together dry ingredients for one of the cakes; it's early enough that he still looks a liiiiiiittle tired, and his coffee cup isn't empty yet, but there's a spring in his step as Charon bakes with him]
