BLUEBELL BARN

[wooliefrand]

Who: Bluebell
Where: Bluebell Barn
When: Day 1, Post Awakening

[Making your way to your new barn, you'll find your personal meadow is peppered with blue flowers, the occasional blue brainless sheep, a small pond full of clear, fresh water, and curiously a big, blooming blueberry tree. Blueberries don't grown on trees! Don't worry about it.

When you enter your barn, you'll find it's. . .quaint.

The first thing you see is your team's name painted in blue on a wall, surrounded by a wreath of flowers. Above it is a wooden plaque with an inspirational message in the style of those Live, Laugh, Love fixtures, just. A bit hard to read.

Your eyes will be drawn to a tall crystalized bluebell sculpture below the plaque. You may feel the urge to touch it, and if not, some nearby framed instructions on the wall may give you a nudge. "Touch to regain your lost abilities!"

Unfortunately, while you may innately know how to activate them, what exactly do they do? You'll have to figure that out.

As for the rest of the barn itself, it's two stories and fairly basic. There is hay everywhere, and six extremely basic cots, three upstairs, three downstairs. If you examine them and remove the hay, each member of the team will find three outfits (+pajamas) for their use.

There is also a sign pointing the way to an attached portapotty--thankfully, it somehow opens up to a basic bathroom. There's one toilet, one very small bath, rickety shower, and sink. In the cabinet is enough soap, paper, and dental hygiene products for all.


Rustic is putting it lightly, but it seems that this is your home away from home!]

Shall I take the plunge first, then?

[Brushing his fingers over the bluebell sculpture!]

[plied_magic]

Go ahead.

[chasseurdebeaute]

[Does a little sparkle (magic)] Oho, it seems to have taken!

[vivace_ultimate]

[Touches the sculpture?]

Well, I don't know if that did anything, but better safe than sorry?

[plied_magic]

It didn't seem to hurt anything.

[vivace_ultimate]

I couldn't test it without a piano...

[sadface]

[noarchitact]

[ he touches it too and... nothing. he needs his vision to be able to perform impressive feats. ] I think better safe than sorry.

[vivace_ultimate]

I really hope so. There's nothing about my life that's magical, except for my piano playing, and I couldn't bear to lose that...

[featherduster]

[ This one isn't in any big hurry to touch the sculpture for some reason . . .

But he DOES waggle his shepherd's staff a few times before irreverantly leaning on it ]

Okay! Roll call time! We gotta figure out how many of us there are.

. . .

And figure out what to call each other.

[plied_magic]

I'm here.

[featherduster]

And with a bright and sunny expression, too. That's the spirit!

[noarchitact]

[ kaveh had run out for a bit, but he's back... and he has a painting of sheep mona lisa that he's attempting to hang in the barn. HE'S MAKING THIS BARN A FABARN. fab barn. ]

...well, [ he hums, musing aloud. ] how about musical names? [ this totally doesn't have to do with the convo he had earlier with kaede. ] I think we could get a number of names from the different tempos, beats, pitches, and things of that nature.

Like allegro, adagio, harmony, cantata, symphony, etc...

[vivace_ultimate]

Oh, I'd love that! I already told one person to call me 'Piano Girl' but that's a lot more creative!

[heavyliesthecrown]

Oh-

[He brightens a little.]

The only thing I seem to recall at all is music. I believe it would be quite fitting, actually.

[chasseurdebeaute]

Ah, how lovely to have a theme! It will surely help bring a bit of unity to this collection of strangers!

[plied_magic]

There's a lot of words relating to music.

[featherduster]

[ ............... Sheep Mona Lisa ]

Music, huh . . . I'm guessing you're the artsy sort.

[vivace_ultimate]

Yes, and what we're going to do about that 'sacrifice,' if we can't find our way out!

[featherduster]

That too, but to be honest, I was intending to just tell them no.

[heavyliesthecrown]

Will you please not wave that around as though we must all come waddling over upon hearing the bell?

[Why are they all collared while someone else has a staff.]

However, I concur. Without a way to address one another properly, we shall only remain in a state of chaos even longer.

[chasseurdebeaute]

It's a pleasure to be part of your flock, Monsieur le Berger!

[Later in the afternoon]

[vivace_ultimate]

[Vivace's back and she has been told how to get a piano]

Okay, everyone! We have to do a group activity... while thinking about great it'd be to have a piano!

Re: [Later in the afternoon]

[plied_magic]

What sort of group activity?

I'm also supposed to bring some herbs for Red to get a lantern.

Re: [Later in the afternoon]

[chasseurdebeaute]

It just so happens that I would like to recruit everyone here to help me set up a venue for the little town meeting of sorts that I have proposed. If we work together to prepare, that will certainly qualify as a group activity, and I think a piano is a wonderful reward for a days hard work!

Re: [Later in the afternoon]

[featherduster]

Team bonding!!

. . . Why the piano, though?
