β€”THE SECOND WEEKβ€”

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 β€” 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 β€” 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.

[ sylvain is currently trying to recruit bee friends. (the first of whom he'll name beelix, just ftr. unless they already have names? is it rude to name these bees? he doesn't know.) anyway, if you sees your character looking glum from the past week's events, he'll invite himself to tuck a flower behind their ear. he stands back to proudly survey his work. ]

You look great, but feel free to take that out if any bees come after you.

[ thanks........ ]

[ crying my brain is at 20% capacity rn he can garden or collect honey or arrest bees or whatever! ]

[ she doesn't look glum after last week anymore, but she's surprised by the flower. it makes her smile. ]

Thank you, Sylvain. Won't you take one yourself?

[personal profile] philandery 2022-05-17 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ she doesn't need to look glum to get a flower 😊 ]

Oh, I was thinking of saving them for the bees, but if you insist... Wanna do the honors?

[ he'll lean down slightly so she can stick a flower in his hair too, if she so wishes. he'll even close his eyes if she's embawassed!! ]

[ that's so sweet. if only he weren't such a ho, maybe he'd have a chance. ]

If we're going to befriend them, we have to invite them.

[ she tucks a pretty flower into his hair. she doesn't think there's anything embarrassing about this. ]

[ he'll never have a chance in hell 😌 ]

Thanks, hope it brings out my eyes.

[ they match! sylvain would even daresay... they look like a Couple(TM)... (delusional) ]

Alright. Now how do we go about befriending?

[ he holds out one of the flowers like a wand, hoping to attract the attention of any nearby bees ]

[ this is something i can't refute unfortunately ]

It does. You and the flower complement each other well.

[ she means that sincerely. ]

I've never tried to befriend a bee before, but I think if we offer them food, they'll like us easier.

[ ... Incredulous. She also has a bee friend, though. Her bee friend will float to talk to Beelix. ]

Yeah? While wearing this?

[ THE BEEKEEPER GEAR????? She hasn't put the headgear on yet. ]

[ aww look at beelix making friends... sylvain is so proud of beelix 😭 ]

Akeha! You look radiant as ever.

[ EVEN IN THE BEEKEEPER GEAR. she's given him an opening, so she gets a flower in her hair before she has a chance to put on the headgear. ]

Ah, it but it pales in comparison to your beauty.

[ he says, while gesturing to her beekeeper gear. ]

... You're really nice, Sylvain.

[ So oddly it makes her uncomfortable. She doesn't take off the flower, though. Instead, she touches it lightly.

Then puts on the headgear.
]

I don't think I deserve it.

[ not quite the reaction he was anticipating (normally people laugh and/or shrug him off)... he's happy though to see she's kept the flower on. ]

Why's that?

[ WHY IS EVERYONE HERE SO SAD... :C ]

That's a shame. [ ango's so reliable and kind and intelligent, and sylvain is genuinely sorry that more people don't realize that. ] Guess I'm not most people.

Allow me another question? [ they're well past introductions, but it doesn't mean sylvain doesn't have a lot more to learn about him ]
