—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.

Seems nice. My time was mostly training—which isn't that peaceful.

[ Akeha just doesn't have any positive memories. So all of this, even if mediocre or plain, is oddly nice. ]

... I don't get the obsession with bees, however.

I have been there before. For many years it was training and harnessing my powers, and few moments of rest that were always for the benefit of the abbey. It was all to "fight criminals and bring justice". Far from peaceful.

[And of course that was all a lie, Maya was supposed to be an enforcer so they could subjugate the entire planet. Boy was she furious when she found this out]

No idea either. Someone here might have said something that made them think beekeeping was a good reward for everything that happened last week. They seem a little...eager to please sometimes.

Got a chance to retire?

[ Sometimes escape is GREAT. ]

They do seem eager, but I don't know if we're... Pleased.

All that about fighting for the sake of justice was nothing more than a lie. They wanted me to keep them in power. I said to hell with that, blasted away the leaders of the cult, and fled.

[In hindsight those monks were very stupid. Did they think she wouldn't figure out, if they brought citizens to her pleading about not being killed for not paying a tithe? Yeah, no, she took a glance at that and turned against the monks. No hesitation.

The bees seem to have Maya in a good mood! How not to be? There's something pleasing about nature!]


It all probably takes time. If planting a few flowers and hosting bees around here is what takes to fulfill this study then I'm going to play along.

[She says that just because she's having fun surrounded by bees, Maya, you can just say you like the bees, you won't get judged]

Sounds like a great reason and way to retire to me.

[ Akeha is familiar and comfortable with violence and this one she feels is justified. ]

I guess it's not bad. The bees are kind of cute.
