BARN STUFF!
I've been meaning to make this post for ages, and, hey, now seems like a good enough time! There are a lot of new people here, so a general reminder is fun, and so is trying to figure out what's even in the barn. But first, some Discedo history for the class!
Back in the fall of '08, when Sorata first arrived in the city, food was a lot harder to find. Half jokingly, he asked the scientists for some livestock to help feed everyone: to everyone's surprise, they agreed. At first he kept the cow and chicken in the graveyard; eventually characters banded together and converted one of the warehouses (south of the bar in this map) into a barn for them and any other animals. People started keeping other animals there—horses, chocobos, and ghost cows—and then America ate them all during last winter's famine. Oops. The scientists usually provide feed for everything there but the chickens (since they eat anything); water has to be brought in from elsewhere.
Anyway, the barn still exists, as with some animals; it is currently Discedo's only source of milk/eggs/butter/etc. Sorata takes care of it with a devotion that comes out of being bored/having done pretty much nothing else on and off for two years; other people help/have helped in the past. It's an open location; anyone can post using it/the animals there/take goods/etc. Sorata tends to drop off the milk at the high school or bar (they have electricity/fridges), but everything there is open for any character to use.
So, anyway! Here's a list, as much as I can remember, of what is in the barn right now.
COWS:
If your character has an animal there (or wants an animal there), please comment! Also, if you wanna help poor Sorata with this stuff, that'd be super cool. ;w;! A- and seriously, guys, correct me, I have no idea what I missed (but I suspect it's "a lot.")

COWS:
TWO. Takoyaki, who has somehow survived from October 2008 through now (but no longer gives milk), and a newer cow that is yet nameless because I am pretty lazy. New cow provides milk; cows provide 6 gallons of milk a day.CHICKENS:
TWO adult chickens, one male and one female, and... let's say five-six chicks. I believe Anemone also has a chick, who is probably about grown up by now and could possibly provide more eggs? Chickens lay one egg a day.HORSES:
NONE. They all got eaten. :|CHOCOBOS:
I HAVE NO IDEA. I think there were one or two nameless chocobos hanging around? Plus I know at least Norway and Marta have Chocobos of their own? I'm not sure how often they lay eggs, or genders...OTHER ANIMALS:
None at this time. However, the scientists sometimes feel generous and answer requests, so...
