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...

Whether or not he'd ultimately end up bringing the resulting hen back to the barn because it won't stop destroying everything he owns remains to be seen, I guess :V;;

(Also good lord I love that icon still.)

he'll tell that poor chicken his life story before it's even been hatched. All one thousand years of it. I'll make sure Discedo gets a look at the utter lonely of it all XD
Egg: *captive audience* ....fffff LETMEOOUUUTT D8 *peckpeckpeck*
Gaga: And then when I was one hundred and seven....

Also that is going to be one traumatized chick. Gaga it's your fault if you create Disco's first Mad Chicken.

(the scales ended up being innocent and were just trying to bring the fairy up to the brain area because she'd damaged it when she'd fallen in with them....so there was this big "YAY VICTOLY" scene at the end where the scales and stewards all worked together to reconstruct the robot's brain.
THAT IS WHAT IT IS FROM

P.S. Yay for warmfuzzy teamwork feelings. 8D...
