—THE SECOND WEEK—

On this fine Monday morning, all facilities have been cleared of damages (the washing machine, if we need to be specific). It is almost like none of the wild events that transpired last week ever happened. For some of you, it's easier to remember — your rooms are emptier than before, after all. In the end, the only remnants of those gone are your memories of them.

There is something off starting this Monday... If you stare at a spot for too long, the space distorts or pieces of it shift out of place for a second, then it's gone in one wink. Maybe your eyes are playing tricks on you? Maybe you need to sleep...? You don't feel weary. You feel fine.

Again, this week, the seers encourage participation in spite of tragedies and oddities. It's at the park — a favorite place for the NPCs. For this week, there are no white tables and tea sets, but instead tables of gardening tools. Uniforms are provided, for there are hive boxes (they're also called brood boxes) around the park.

OUTSIDE 🐝F EDEN

(a gardening and beekeeping workshop)

There are many things you can plant from herbs to flowers, which characters may find they grow at a faster rate. For beekeeping, characters will be instructed on how to care for bees and harvest honey! Yes, if you were wondering, these are the same bees from last Wednesday.

Instructed by whom? Well, this is the kicker, you must befriend or subjugate a bee, then they will help you by pollinating your plants and giving you guidance with the hive boxes.

How to tame them? The NPCs have provided the bees' favorite flowers... But if that doesn't work, they also provide tiny cuffs to arrest them.

Some observers may stray as they very well please, but you can talk to them for whatever reason.

MINGLE SUMMARY

• Locations have been cleaned up! However, if you stare at a spot for too long, it gets weird and distorts. HUh.
• NPCs are hosting a Outside of Eden event, which is a gardening and beekeeping event. Plant flowers, grow greens, harvest honey, and care for bees! But... Yeah. You have to get a bee buddy first.
• NPCs may also be spoken to on the mingle or privately at the church.
• Powers are still in effect. Consider using what you have for fun when you find the chance.

IMPORTANT STUFF

• Mini-CYOAs are OPEN. When we reach our cap for Mini-CYOAs, the thread will be frozen. We highly encourage organizing so no two groups or more hit the same location.
• Confessional is still OPEN until Friday evening.
• Most importantly, murder proposals and pathing submissions are OPEN! They will close on Tuesday pst morning/est noon.

a. bees?
[ Sebastian is in the park, not thinking too hard about what just happened here. He is, as usual, doing his best (and, also as usual, not succeeding), trying to entice a bee into being (beeing) his friend and gardening guide by offering it a sunflower, but then getting nervous every time it gets too close and either running away or jumping backward and dropping the flower. ]

b. gardening
[ Eventually, by the grace of god or whatever the fuck, he's finally got things worked out with that bee ("his bee-f-f", I would write, if it didn't look like another beef eden joke) and he's down on his knees in the dirt, having exchanged his usual white gloves for gardening ones, planting a row of a few white chrysanthemum starts. They don't look like much, but he looks proudly at them anyway as he pats down the soil around the last one. ]

Can anything grow that much in a week, though...?

c. wildcard
[ i started to write "do your worst" but. look at him. ]

a.

[eusford]

[ Crowley watches him draw back immediately... to a bee. ]

Are you allergic, or something?

[unbested]

Huh? [ still just, like... shielding himself from this perfectly pleasant bee... ] N-no. But I still don't want to get stung!

[eusford]

[ People are dying, Sebastian. ]

It's not gonna kill you.

[unbested]

Yeah, but it still hurts, and then you have to pull out the stinger with tweezers and everything!

[eusford]

[ He reaches out very casually to grab him by his collar. ]

[unbested]

[ reacts pretty much the same way he's been reacting to the bee!! ]

What are you doing?!

[eusford]

[ Grabs his collar.









Starts shoving him closer to the bee. ]

Stop being shy. I think it wants to befriend someone a little more forward.

[unbested]

No!!! Isn't the whole thing supposed to be that you don't approach them because you don't want to seem threatening??

A

[omegathree]

[He watches this happen a few times before speaking up.]

They're not interested in menacing you, lad. The bees are as calm as you are willing to be.

[unbested]

I-I know, but... [ he's really bad at being calm!!! ]

[omegathree]

But?

[unbested]

I just get really nervous when it gets that close... like, what if I don't do anything but it decides it wants to sting me anyway?

[omegathree]

Are you allergic?

[unbested]

N-no...

[omegathree]

The worst thing will be some momentary pain. I'll assist you if you need medical attention.

[It is a bee sting, it cannot be(e) this serious.]

[unbested]

[ but pulling out the stinger!!!! he hates removing splinters!!! ]

I... I guess..........

[ the hilarious thing about this is he just got stitches in his face two days ago and he's being more of a baby about a bee that probably isn't even going to sting him ]

b

[hasu]

[ She knows that Sebastian is scared of her, but... She's also fascinated by quickly the plants grow? Some things have grown in an hour or two.

Also, her bee friend is tamed, chilling on her shoulder. ]

It's about the journey, right?

[unbested]

[ honestly despite her occupation other people here have done way scarier things than she has by this point, so while he's still a little wary, he's at least not actively avoiding her anymore!! ]

Y-yeah, I guess. It's still best to get to see your results, though, right?

[ ...well. in her job, maybe not. ]

[hasu]

[ She is inoffensive, yeah. ]

I guess I do want to see what these bloom into. Makes you feel accomplished.

[ IT's fine. THIS IS ABOUT PLANTS. AND BEES. Her own bee checks out their plants. ]

[unbested]

Yeah, exactly.

[ chief prosecutor debeeste buzzes around a bit before landing on what it has apparently judged to be the best chrysanthemum. ]

What are the ones you planted?

[hasu]

Some white flowers. They looked like lilies based on the picture.

[ They are unnamed white flowers. ]

You?

[unbested]

Huh. That sounds pretty.

Mine are white chrys...anthemums!

[ he says that slowly, carefully focusing on each syllable like maya said to... and he looks proud when he finishes, because he's pretty sure it was right that time!! ]

[hasu]

I think I've heard of those before. They're pretty.

[ Sebastian should be proud, is what she means. ]

[unbested]

Yeah! See, the white parts of my prosecutor's badge — [ points it out on his lapel ] — those are supposed to be... that flower's petals!

[ just because he can say it now doesn't mean he wants to say it every time... ]

So they're a special flower.

[ to him. ]
