—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.

[ 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.

[personal profile] philandery 2022-05-17 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Heheh... you and yours aren't too bad, either.

[ hmm ]

This is the food, isn't it? [ he waves the flower a little. ]

...Maybe we can ask [ gesturing to 💀 in the near distance ] to lend us one of their bees. They have so many...

Thank you.

[ she smiles. ]

We shouldn't take the easy route. Let's get a friend of our own. Come on, let's approach.

[ to the hive. ]

What? I'm terrified of them. [ the goth vibes remind him vaguely of hubert. ] Not easy at all.

[ but he will listen to jeanne... ofc he will. ]

Aww, fine... [ to the hive it is... ]

[personal profile] discernments 2022-05-17 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Eh? Really? I went up to them earlier, and they just gave me a handful without me doing anything.

[ easy.

there be some stray bees outside the hive boxes. ]


How do you usually befriend people, Sylvain?

[ bees aren't human, but the vibe has to count for something. ]

[personal profile] philandery 2022-05-17 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's because you're [ vaguely but respectfully gesturing ] you. You're so nice, no one's allowed to be mean to you. [ not sylvain, not god, and not the npcs, so decrees omo ]

Me? Uh, I talk to them. [ does he ever shut up ] You think these bees might understand us?

[ handwaves him putting on beekeeper gear. lordt, it's hideous. ]
discernments: (054p)

[personal profile] discernments 2022-05-17 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
I am not that nice, and there are plenty of people who don't care for me.

[ you are so valid, omo, but there are people are out here hating her. ]

You can give it a try.

[ jeanne is fearless and she is without the beekeeper gear. sylvain is good to be safe. ]

[ i'll fight them. sylvain will fight them! ]

[ but yeah he has to protect his handsome mug, it's all he has going for him. ...i can't believe you're gonna make sylvain talk to bees. ]

Here goes nothing...

[ he turns towards the closest one and immediately opts for flattery. that always works! ] Hey lil' guy—or gal—you're lookin' awfully sharp today. You got some time to spare? We need some help you see...

[ an assist pls, jeanne... ]

[ i didn't make him do anything? it's not my fault all sylvain does is flirt.

the fact that it sounds like he's trying to pick up a bee is so funny, and jeanne has to turn her head to cough into her hand.

it's not a very good job at covering up a laugh. she's really not trying to hide it at all.

this is her assist. ]

[ don't laugh!!!!!!

...it's okay if she laughs a little, because she is so dang cute ]

[ it's fine.

jeanne stands still, and a bee hovers near the flower he so nicely put in her hair. ]
