—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.

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: (i waited at denny's)

[ 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 ]

You've already been attacked twice.

[Like? He doesn't get it, but okay man. You can be scared of a bee. Fear is a good and reasonable emotion.]
unbested: (i-i'm laundry)

[personal profile] unbested 2022-05-17 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and I was scared then too!

[ also that's proof that a) things want to hurt him, and b) his luck is TERRIBLE.

but... yeah... fine. he's got to stop being a pansy about this because that's a flower and he doesn't want to attract even MORE bees.

he takes a deep breath and holds the flower out... while leaning back away from it... and though he still flinches a little when the bee comes toward him this time, he at least manages to not drop the flower.



so now he's holding a flower with a bee on it. ]

There you are.

[He hasn't been stung yet!]

You've managed to befriend one.
unbested: (wow these are REALLY cheap sets)

[personal profile] unbested 2022-05-17 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[ staring down at the bee on the flower and then looking back up ]

Really?? Is that all it takes?

You seem appropriately successful in taming a bee. Excellent work.
unbested: (and the investigation comes to a close)

[ !!!! ]

Thanks!!
