BLUEBELL SECURTY SYSTEM

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Has been like half completed for some time, but LIVE as of Day 68]

• Anyone who 'breaks' something on Bluebell premises will be removed from Bluebell by magic (it shunts them out past their fence somewhere. May occasionally drop them in the lazy river since we're close to the edge)
  
• Rubato has purposely left the definition of 'break' as a big umbrella concept that covers both physical and figurative breaking things. Breaking a bone, breaking a dish, breaking a heart, breaking your word, breaking your fast, etc. This can and should be used for comedy.
  
• There is a sign outside Bluebell now, by the moat bridge gate, that warns people that entering Bluebell means they agree to adhere to non-violence. The purpose is if anyone breaks this tacit agreement they get kicked off the property (this is extra assurance in the form of a contract, basically)
  
• Unless they have recently triggered the security system or got full-banned, anyone is still able to just wander up onto Bluebell from any direction, they're just agreeing to get kicked out if they 'break' something.
  
• People who have been whitelisted can break anything they like, the security system will ignore them. To be whitelisted, you gotta give Rubato your blood or a DNA sample :)
  
• Bluebell can give visitors a temporary exemption by giving the guest 10 seconds of physical contact (same as Lily's system) (this just means they're allowed to like break bread or have a breakdown without risk of ejection for the day)

[Wandering in to... cake?]

Oh, someone new--! Bienvenue, Mademoiselle! What is that you're working on?

[bloominto]

Ah-

( the creation is in the oven by now, but the scent still wafts through the joint kitchen, surely. )

I mentioned my creations to Fantasia, and he encouraged me to make one. Once the baking process is finished, with a touch of ingenuity and a drop of life, we shall have a new friend present.

You must be... Rubato, yes? As I've already met everyone else. I am Harmony.

[ well. Kevin WAS going to roll right up and visit, but he winds up hung up on the sign and squinting at it. his vision is barely functional and that demigod dyslexia sure still exists.

the sign has stopped him because he can't read. ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Next to him, also pondering sign]

Is it the glitter that troubles you, Kevin-kun?

[featherduster]

[ Stares at him staring at the sign ]

............... You good?

[bloominto]

Is something the matter?

[heavyliesthecrown]

[ . . . ? ]

Do you require help?

[relaxolotl]

[ there is something in the moat trying to get your attention, ] Hey! [ splashes around. ] Can you bring me inside and set me up with a little bowl of water? [ someone can't climb over the edge to get himself onto the grass, wah. ]

[chasseurdebeaute]

You wish to go inside, Monsieur Axolotls? What an unusual request—

[chasseurdebeaute]

[—wait that’s not normal axolotl language]

[chasseurdebeaute]

Ohlàlà, if it isn’t Monsieur Fantasia?!

[featherduster]

[ what the fuck is an axolotl ]

--The fish can talk now?!?!

[bloominto]

... Fantasia?

( regardless of his answer, he's getting scooped. she doesn't seem to care at all that her shirt's getting soaked now. )

Is this a standard ability of yours...? Regardless, you're right on time. The little one's about to exit the oven.

[arrowace]

!!!!

[dadinside]

[oh shit, just like his video games.]

... Is this a quest?

[heavyliesthecrown]

. . . What.

[ . . . What???]

[featherduster]

[ FINDING HARMONY, THIS IS IMPORTANT: ]

Oh, yeah! Did you pick a name?

[bloominto]

I did, yes. Harmony.

( the question is did he catch her going to the kitchen or leaving it because that changes the course of things drastically. to baby or not to baby )

[arrowace]

[ investigating cake smells?? Smells too sweet for their taste but maybe it’s cool to look at. ]

[bloominto]

( yeah, it might be! harmony is already in the kitchen, pouring a cup of tea for herself. on the counter beside her is... a purple cake. it smells like mixed berries!


upon further inspection, however, mute will find that it's very much not a cake. )

Hello, Mute. Would you like a drink?

[dadinside]

[... staring at the cake (??) on the counter that the new lady is hovering around.

is it........ edible?]

[bloominto]

( from one side it may look it! ... but it quickly hops around into a circle to face him. hey. hi. there is. un bebe. )

[eonsadrift]

[ At some point, a handmade but well-crafted (and probably familiar) blue frog plushie will be left in front of their door.

There's a note attached that reads: 'for mute. no one else touch.'

And he's going to make an attempt to sneak away after leaving it, but his speed flying isn't exactly stealthy. Fantasia can probably recognize his handiwork, too. ]

[relaxolotl]

[ he’s the best, see!!! ]

postgame day 76

[bloominto]

( she hasn't even been here a full 24 hours and already she is afflicted with ritual bullshit. by which i mean, harmony has been hit with three different punishment effects: plum blossoms are blooming from her hair like a flowercrown, she has brown cat ears and a tail, and she is heinously cold. not even her sweater is helping... )

How inconvenient.
