Spring Forward

[wooliefrand]

WHO: Sheeps
WHERE: All around the pasture
WHEN: DAY 71, Morning to whenever!! It's a mingle yall know how this goes

[WOW WHAT FUN LAST FEW DAYS FULL OF FEELINGS lets just forget about that for now!!

The weather is mild and pleasant, and the flowers are blooming especially vividly now. It's like it's spring or some shit.

Also, the lightning that was striking near the mist has subsided! Still be careful though--the eye is still close, but the antlers are still glowing Red for danger. Man wonder what could have set that off. Mystery.

Well anyway Red's back in his shop, along with Daisy and Coco, and Naythan's stumbling around with his Peony Suit. You might find Stormy around if you look for him, but Blossom is notably Still Absent.

BUT HEY NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THAT. There are some new additions!

-A new building appears near the lighthouse! Golly!

-There's a rumbling near Lily, and suddenly a small man-made 'lake' appears in their meadow?? Gosh Lily why do you get TWO ponds! Well, this one is full of salt water, so that's a thing. Maybe there's an underground stream?? Don't worry about it. They'll also find that they now have a dark, spooky, basement--well, part of it is, but mostly it looks like a bachelor pad. But hey, no windows! That's what's important.

Neato! How are the rest of you doing?? Look out for potential falling newbies, you know how it goes.]

There's nothing wrong with making life easier here.

We did win an upgrade a while back, but given the disadvantage we're working with, we might have to. We do have our priest at least, so there's that.

[aiwillneversmile]

There isn't. I'm just not personally interested in it.

Who is it?

[damegane]

Naythan.

[aiwillneversmile]

. . . The broken one? Does he actually help at all?

[damegane]

He can still grant us rewards for completing quests.

[aiwillneversmile]

[hmm]

Rewards like what? More abilities and things like that, right?

[damegane]

Not sure if he can do abilities, honestly. But he's the one who gave us private rooms after a quest.

[aiwillneversmile]

Well, it's something, at least. Take what you can get, I guess.

[damegane]

It's not like we have much other choice.

What have you been up to, anyway?

[aiwillneversmile]

Mm, nothing? I've just been visiting the library whenever I want to switch my books out.

[damegane]

That's all?

[aiwillneversmile]

Yeah. I've been working twelve to fourteen hour days before I came here. I won't look down on a vacation however I get one.

[damegane]

Gross.

[aiwillneversmile]

Yeah. Turning eighteen really changed the labor laws.

[damegane]

And no interest in games or any of that?

[aiwillneversmile]

If I have the choice, not really, no. I don't have any skills that the rest of Clover doesn't already has, so there's no reason to go with an overkill strategy. They managed that win with about four of us.

[damegane]

...I meant the arcade.

[aiwillneversmile]

Oh, those.

. . . Not really. They're not my thing. Just books and movies, and I'm not watching any movies here.

[damegane]

Makes sense. We see enough sheep day to day as is.

[aiwillneversmile]

And it would ruin most movies. Citizen Kane or Schindler's List with sheep would be a new level of horror.

[tone distant enough to imply he's thought about movies with sheep in them too much]

[damegane]

...Has it been that rough not having access to normal movies?

[aiwillneversmile]

No, but it would have been nice to review some while I have the free time.

[damegane]

I wonder if it's possible to use an upgrade to get non-sheep versions somehow.

[aiwillneversmile]

Oh? You're that concerned about me getting to watch some movies?

[damegane]

Not really. But you're the one who said you couldn't come up with a use for the upgrades, either.
