Prompt:
"Well, I’m curious now my dear! Where are you from?”

If your buttermilk had unlimited funds, where would they live? What would their house (or barn) look like and how would they decorate it? Would they live alone, with friends, maybe a significant other?


At first, Morgan believes he is being asked about his childhood. But when the clarification comes asking where he lives now, and where he wants to live in the future, he gently puts his hands together and lets them stay in front of him. They rest lightly against his stomach as he responds with an incredibly soft chuckle.

"I am living where I dream to live. My husband has created the perfect house for me..." The lanky man gives out a soft sigh, reminiscing to the home where he returns every night. "We live together, with all of our plants. It was incredibly nice for him to do... we live by the woods. It is our dream house, I work on the plants while Wulfe can sit in his lawn chair..."

Morgan goes on for quite some time about the specifics of his house, but it is very easy to tell this is where he wants to live.

Bold of you to assume Mia doesn’t already live exactly where she wants to. Hint: she do. She has a very, very deep pocket, as does everyone in her family going back several generations. She may not have unlimited funds, but she can already afford to live exactly where she wants. Well, everywhere she wants, actually.

Mia has a large, penthouse condo in New York City. It’s where she usually hosts her fancy schmancy socialite get togethers, so it’s very typical and ordinary – at least for someone with her caliber of money. Almost everything is white – white walls, white leather couches, white marble floors, just white everywhere. The wall with the fireplace is made of one giant slab of white marble with gold veins. The styling in the condo is very minimal and trendy – most of the things in the house are very geometric, including the only black piece of decoration or furniture anywhere to be found: a large, diamond-shaped marble sculpture that cost more than the condo itself.

Apart from this condo, Mia’s family also owns two estates: a sprawling, private estate in the French countryside, and a large estate in upstate New York that’s been in her family for generations. In addition to these homes, which she’s set to inherit, Mia owns two other penthouse condos: one in London, and one in Dublin. She also owns a fairly large mansion in the Bali – though she refuses to tell everyone where exactly it is because it’s her “getaway home.”

There is one thing she would change, though, if she could: she would secretly love to share her many homes with a partner.

Prompt:

If Lola has unlimited funds and could live wherever she want, she‘d probably choose to live in a small cottage. Everything inside with be vintage, with lots of soft pillows and a ton of cozy blankets. It’ll all be just one room, with an old fireplace on one side of it. On the other side would be where she usually slept. It would have a sloping roof made out of glass, so she could watch the moon and the stars every night and see the rain drops rolling down the roof. In another corner of her house, she’d have a little table with a stove next to it and a cupboard full of mugs. And next to that, she’d have a bookshelf with all her favourite books. From the outside the little cottage would have roses climbing up the walls and a garden full of flowers. There would be a small stream running near her house which would eventually end in a small pond with crystal clear water. She‘d have some kois living in that pound and would have decorated it with lots of crystals, so that, depending on what time it is, the crystals would reflect the sunlight and the pond‘s colour would change from a pretty shade of turquoise to a pretty shade of purple to the whole rainbow.

Prompt:
Melody had always liked simplicity – she never wanted more than what she had. Familiarity is something that keeps her calm, making her feel safe and grounded. So, her dream home would be surrounded by her closest friends and family – her herd. She would choose to make sure everyone was happy with everything that they had, buying them whatever they needed to feel like her home is theirs. Melody desired them to be happy and thus would do whatever she needed to so that she can make sure they are not going to feel as though they don’t belong.

The most important thing to Melody is creating a unity, a safe place for everyone to belong. So, she would not need anything fancy or expensive in her barn, only a place for everyone to belong, where her friends and family can all live in harmony surrounded by each other.

Word Count: 407
Prompt: Belle's baskets began to heavy, quickly being filled with the carrots and broccoli heads she was clipping and uprooting. Images of where she could be in the future began to flood her mind. A permanent home on Madagascar, maybe built from thick, dark wood with driftwood accents and a fortified thatch and palm frond roof. There would be an attached barn with guest stables for any visitors, maybe she could open a mini education resort where guests would learn about the local flora and fauna and how best to observe silently and preserve efficiently. Of course she wouldn't mind living alone, but a partner who was as invested in herpetology research would make a dream of a roommate!

They could share the space, take turns collecting food and what not. The main living area would have to have high ceilings and lots of windows for natural lighting. Everything would be made from natural, bio-degradable materials to reduce harm on the environment. Accents of all sorts would be everywhere, glass display cases for their research, comfortable furnishings, a large salt water tank for the coral gardens that would house endangered species to be replanted once they were healthy enough. Oh, the more she thought about it, the more she wanted it to be true! She did have leeway with the island of Madagascar, having done several months of extensive research there. And with the thought of unlimited funds, that could certainly get the educational resort started up!

Ah yes, educational for sure, but also a resort! The schedule would start with early morning yoga to wake up the body and mind and be followed by a healthy vegetarian breakfast. The rest of the daylight would be spent doing research on the island and in its surrounding waters, ending with a delicious, fulfilling dinner and meditation. Belle hadn't realized she'd stopped picking vegetables and was instead standing so still her weight had allowed her to sink a few inches into the soft field dirt. "Oh!" she exclaimed, pulling up a few more carrots and tossing them into the saddle basket. "I'd completely slipped off into a daydream," the heifer giggled, "Guess I should be getting back to unload all these veggies!" She lumbered back to the barn and crouched down, allowing assistants to empty the baskets. "You wouldn't believe where I'm gonna be someday," she beamed, excitedly telling the assistants as they pulled out the last of the broccoli.

Prompt:

Triton jolted awake to the jarring sound of his rooster's call. After blinking his eyes several times in a crude attempt to wake himself up, he left them open to look out of his window at the sun's rays starting to peek above the horizon. He yawned at got himself up and dressed in overalls with tons of layers. Even though it was spring, it was still quite chilly. He laced up his tan work boots and clambered down the stairs. Along the walls, many pictures were decorating the space. Many of them were of various farm animals but a few were of a singular young girl with blonde curly hair.

He walked into the kitchen and opened a cabinet that was full of mismatched mugs and glassware. Triton pulled out a big copper one and set it on the counter as he got water together to brew some coffee. As he waited for it, he walked out of his back screen door and over to a small chicken coop, picking up a woven basket. When he entered, he was met with happy clucks from his hens that made him smile. "Good morning girls! Time for breakfast." He set down the basket and picked up a handful of feed, going outside to spread it, watching the hens and his rooster start eating their meal.

Once he felt satisfied with them being ok on their own, he turned back to the coop and began collecting eggs. He wound up with a basket of 20 before he walked back to his house. The smell of coffee hit him and he already felt more ready for the day's work. He washed two of the eggs and cracked them into a pan, listening to them sizzle. Then he slowly sipped at his cup while he waited for them to cook.

After breakfast, he went back outside and made his way over to the barn. He forked hay into the horses' stalls and brushed them out. Feeding each of them a carrot as a treat and paying a little extra attention to them before letting them go roam free on the land. He also milked the cows and rolled a bail of hay outside for them as well. Triton then walked over to a barrel and scooped a bunch of kibble into 4 big metal bowls.

At the sound, about 10 barn cats ran out from various places on the farm and started to group up and eat hungrily. Triton was about to leave and start some more work but he jumped at the feeling of something on his leg. But he smiled when he looked down at the yellow cat pawing at his pants. He bent down to his knees and chuckled when it clambered into his lap. "Good morning Rhodos...thanks for coming to say hello~" He pet the cat gently.

"I cannot believe you named a stupid barn cat after me!" The cats scattered at the sound of yelling. Triton rolled his eyes and turned around to face his little sister. "Yeah? Well, I missed you like crazy after you RAN AWAY.", he raised his voice but he couldn't hide his laugh. "Yeah...ok...", Rhodos trailed off and was silent for a moment before adding. "I missed you too."

"Anywhere? I could live anywhere if I had unlimited funds? Hmmm..."
Carmie rubbed her chin with a hoof, deep in thought.
"Well, to be completely honest, I'd stay where I'm at right now. I really like Hidden Stars Ranch, and it feels so much like home now that I think it'd be hard to move.
But... I do think having my own house would sound cool. Say, I think it'd be pretty neat if I could own a little house on the Ranch property. Oh, I'd love that a lot. For once I'd be able to decorate my room how I want to. The stable I have in the barn is just wood, wood, and more wood, with a cute blanket and my armadillo plush. I mean, I got to pick out the blanket but it's just not the same, y'know?
If I had my own house, it'd be light yellow on the outside (because yellow is my favorite yellow!) and I'd want it to look warm and inviting. I'd put some large windows out front, with the sills lined with cute succulents. The mailbox out front would be painted yellow, with cute little armadillos on it.
The inside walls would be soft, with cute wallpaper that's easy on the eyes. I wouldn't want to wake up to anything harsh assaulting my eyeballs. I'd have nice, modern, or maybe barn-ish (is that a thing?) decorations to fit the theme of the house. My room would have, um, yellow walls, haha... And armadillo stuff. Dang, I wish I had an armadillo as a pet.
A-and as for who I'd live with... I guess, alone? Unless I find a partner, haha, not likely." Carmie paused and quickly cleared her throat before moving on. "I don't like living with friends. I find it awkward at times. I'd prefer to be alone, with me, myself, and a pet armadillo or two.
Oh, and of course, the succulents!"

Prompt:
As cheesy as I may sound, Breezy really loves to celebrate Earth Day! Sure, there are other holidays that are more fun, like Halloween, Christmas, or Hanukkah, but Earth Day has held a special place in Breezy’s heart since she was a young calf. It all started with a set of traditions her and her mother participated in when she was a calf that would go on to cement themselves in Breezy’s life, even as an adult.

It’s well known how dedicated to the earth and nature both Breezy and her mother, Bakari, were. Bakari was sure to instill these values in her calf, and allowed Breezy to learn about the world around her and why it’s so important to care for it with fun traditions that would best resonate with a young one. For Earth Day, Breezy remembers her mother whisking her out to either a zoo, an aquarium, or a science center to learn something new, something valuable. When they wrapped up on their adventures, Bakari would them bring her daughter to a plant nursery, where she would let her calf pick out any plant she wanted. They’d bring whatever Breezy picked home to plant that afternoon, and continue to care for it until it grew strong. Some years, Breezy would pick smaller, more manageable flowers that drew her in because of their vibrant colors, much to the relief of Bakari. Other years, Breezy would select much larger trees or bushes, but Bakari would humor her, as the mother knew this would be what’s best to establish good values in her daughter.

Breezy still tries to continue this tradition even though she’s older now, and when she can, she drags her mother along. Bakari can never be too annoyed at being dragged along, however. She loves to see the heifer her daughter has grown into, just as bright and passionate as herself.
