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.]

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

[aiwillneversmile]

There's uses, but I don't think any of them are worthwhile. Wouldn't fixing the mist or getting rid of the outside threats be a better use for those rituals? Upgrades just seems like it's putting a band-aid on a much bigger issue to distract everyone.

[damegane]

I wonder if they'd be enough...

Have you mentioned the idea to your teammates?

[aiwillneversmile]

Someone has to have already seen through that easy loophole already, even if it wasn't someone on Clover. Game logic says we'll get told it's impossible for some odd reason or another.

[damegane]

People haven't been here long. It's possible people haven't tried.

[aiwillneversmile]

You haven't been here that long. Do you want to bet on that?

[damegane]

It's been what, a bit over two months? What's the problem with asking?

[aiwillneversmile]

Trauma compresses time. But I may ask.

[damegane]

It's worth a try. Who knows, maybe you'll prove everyone here an idiot for not thinking of it first.

[aiwillneversmile]

I hope not. Everyone here can be challenging at times, but they're not stupid.

[damegane]

Could have also been distracted by everything else.

[aiwillneversmile]

Then, there wouldn't be multiple organized efforts to research this place. They're doing what they can.

Sorry, but I'm not going to talk badly about how anyone has managed to acclimate to this place.

[damegane]

[Looking at him with mild confusion for a moment before-]

...The wording was your problem with it?

[aiwillneversmile]

Yes. I have some manners . . .

[damegane]

Wow, it doesn't take much with you, huh?

[aiwillneversmile]

[wooooooow]

I have some standards.

[damegane]

What, never had friends you'd rib?

[aiwillneversmile]

That wasn't friendly ribbing. Calling someone a panda or lame fits more with ribbing.

Why are you interested in my drawing the line there?

[damegane]

You guys are pretty tame, aren't you?

Just seemed like a weird thing to fixate on.

[aiwillneversmile]

You mean Clover? Yeah, most of us are minus the one who's love language is apparently promising to murder people.

And it may be, but I don't want anyone getting the wrong idea about what kind of 'mean' I am.

[damegane]

And your friends back home.

What kind of "mean" are you, then?

[aiwillneversmile]

My friends back home are . . . [waves hand] Only one has a foul mouth, so I don't know if they really count.

Isn't that something you're supposed to gauge for yourself?

[damegane]

I wasn't aware I was expected to learn everything about you.

[aiwillneversmile]

Wow, way to sound like a stalker. Sorry, but I already have enough of those. You should focus on someone else.

[damegane]

S- Wait, who said anything about that?!
