COIN TOSS

[shortforever]

[He looks exhausted, but. Time for a new bathroom. He's holding up his coin.]

Ready?

Re: COIN TOSS

[literal_trainwreck]

[doesn't answer, just wordlessly flips his coin in]

[as a small blessing, no memories play]

[shortforever]

[Looking at Loki.

Looking at the water.]

Honestly I think your luck would be better used elsewhere.

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]

Hey.

Come here for a second?

Re: COIN TOSS

[cultofthesham]

[ also tosses . . . no memory ]

Safe.

1/3

[shortforever]

Well, I guess it's my turn.

[And there the coin goes, into the water below!]

2/3 (CW: child death, hanging)

[shortforever]

A group of kids, all around the age of 10 or so, are running through the streets of the run-down part of the town. A certain redhead is at the front of the group, and he's grinning as he powers ahead, trying to beat everyone else in their race to the train station.

" █ █ █ █ █ wait!"

The redhead slows to a stop at a street corner, turning to look behind him at the kids who are nearly a half-block away. But he doesn't make it that far, as when he turns to look something ends up catching his eye. He stops completely and doesn't even respond to his friends, unable to move from the chill running through his body. It isn't until the friends arrive that they see what is bothering █ █ █ █ █ and gasp out in fright.

A row of bodies, hanging in a line across the front of a building.

Children's bodies.

Each and every one of them having hair as red as █ █ █ █ █'s.

And below them is a poster with a bone-chilling declaration on it:

By orders of the boss of the Port Mafia, all redheaded children left unattended will be punished.

Continue to report all who disrespect the Port Mafia.

The redhead stared at the sight for a long, long time. He can't take his eyes off of all the brilliant red hair.

It's only when his friends tug on his arm and insist that he needs to go somewhere safe that he finally moves.

[survivaltricks]

[tiredly, still covered in dried blood from both the game and probably trying to punch heal some lilies and clovers, he tosses his coin into the fountain]

[no memories this time, either!]

[shortforever]

You got lucky too.

Bathhouse

[wooliefrand]

[once all coins are tossed in, they'll feel a rumble in the distance--and the sound of many confused 'baas'.

When they go to check their barn. . .well it's still an old decrepit barn. However, there's a small covered sublet attached to the back. Going inside, they'll find the portapotty has morphed into a beautiful, fully furnished bathhouse, including an outside, but covered pool (they'll have to adjust/add to the fence if they don't want people peeking in), as well as an inside area for a private bath, a separate toilet area, and separate shower. There are towels and bath salts, as well other small complimentary knicknacks.]

later

[shortforever]

[After all of Thistle makes it back to the barn, Odin is going to tug on Lupin's sleeve to get him to stay back for a moment.]

[survivaltricks]

[stopping in his tracks as soon as he feels that tug]

. . . Odin?

[shortforever]

C'mere for a moment.

[He nods to the side of the barn, a bit away from the door.]

BATH TIME

[literal_trainwreck]

[Thistle has a kick ass new bath house! Once all the blood is scrubbed off, it's time to soak!]

This is... actually really nice.

[shortforever]

[He is short so when he sits down in the baths it's just his eyes and nose visible above the water in the spot he initially picks.]

[survivaltricks]

[. . .]

[ehe]

[literal_trainwreck]

Don't drown.

Re: BATH TIME

[survivaltricks]

[hol-ee shit]

[Lupin spends a moment just gawking at how nice this place is, before beelining for one of the showers to scrub himself off]

[and once he is clean, he immediately sinks (fully naked, btw) into the bath, all the way up until the water reaches his nose]

[heaven]

Re: BATH TIME

[literal_trainwreck]

[obviously we are naked, that's what this bath deserves]

We're going to need to do something about the fence to keep people out of the outdoor section.

Re: BATH TIME

[cultofthesham]

[ oh look i have an icon for this ]

day 8, morning

[survivaltricks]

[did any of us sleep last night after our nice warm bath?? no? yes? maybe??? well either way, it's about mid-morning when members of Thistle will hear their Shepherd's bell ringing, calling them to the side of the barn where he's started another campfire to cook their hard-won mutton!!]

[but also, he called everyone out here for another reason]

So I know this timing kind of sucks, considering-- well. You know.

But I talked to Red about how to fix Loki's arm.

Re: day 8, morning

[cultofthesham]

Oh do tell.

Late Day 8

[beathollow]

( it took a bit longer than she'd like, but a lot happened today! but now sonata's visiting with a gift of grapes and her arm back, just as she said. hello rowdy boys, a different purple is here. )

[literal_trainwreck]

[getting the door]

Hello. Are you here to see someone?

[survivaltricks]

[!!]

[after she has been let in by Loki]

You came.

[why is he surprised by this]
