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!]

Ah, you lost me at etude. I'm not sure I've heard that specific piece, but you certainly sound like a musical genius, so I'm excited to hear it.

It's a short, but technically challenging piece with its own beautiful aesthetic. In this case, black keys focuses on a delightful concept: the right hand plays a majority of black keys on the piano, and this works because they're all in harmony with each other.

It's not the most difficult to play, other than the tempo and hitting the right keys, because it's relatively simple. Furthermore it just sounds 'natural', and the pattern repeats itself throughout the piece.

It doesn't do it justice to just hum it, because it's so complex and fast, but if I get access to a piano, I'll definitely play it!

[ nods along as she explains it. ] ...you know, I believe I saw a small town. We could go check it out together. If there's a town there's shops, so perhaps we can see if there's a place that's got a piano. [ or at the very least, a keyboard. ] I certainly don't want you humming it if it's not going to do the piece justice. I'd much rather just wait to hear it played where it's going to shine.

[vivace_ultimate]

Really? That sounds... great!

--But we don't have to take it home or anything. If I can just sit at it and play, that's fine too.

[noarchitact]

No. Let's take it back. I'd like to learn to play it too.

[vivace_ultimate]

Okay... but they're highly sensitive to temperature fluctuations. Humidity. The straw on the floor...

[frets again]

But, I'll gladly teach you, too!

[noarchitact]

I don't think we'd be able to keep it at Red's, but maybe we can check out the other stores in the area if we can get a hold of one. I didn't go into any of them.

[vivace_ultimate]

All right.

[she blushes]

[noarchitact]

All I know is we'll figure something out.
