Around
noon today, Tui begind prepping the
stables for new arrivals. In the coming days, he hopes to Acquire Horses but knows he must woo them first with comfortable shelter and an abundance of food.
He (along with some helpful wisps and anybody else who would like to help) spends the day cleaning the stables and prepping the yard. It takes him a while because he keeps stopping to try to initiate chitchat with passersby.
Tomorrow, April 13th,
after the Goose Fiasco, Tui can be spotted meandering the fields around the farm and crumbled ranch and talking to animals.
"Ah, yeh, Gilly told me there's supposed to be a Big One coming soon," he says conversationally to one of the wild horses as he leans against a broken down fence post. "Come to my stables and bring your friends. I got soft hay. Some salt licks. The good stuff you crave. Good place to wait out the quake."
The horse remains Unconvinced, for it is wild and free and bows to no man.
The next evening, April 14th,
after everyone's already left with Kane and the tremors have died down,
one horse finds its way to the stables. Tui has draped a custom "First Customer!" sash around her. It looks like he made this in 2 minutes with an old t-shirt and a sharpie. Though she stands alone, the horse has definite Cool Girl Energy and Tui seems pleased.
