Springtime Harvest

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Who: mikangirl, threeswordsoul, their immediate families by demand, their extended families, friends, and orchard workers by invite. (That's... a lot of people >_>a)
What: Mikan harvest!
When: All day, 24th April
Where: Nami and Zoro's fictional mikan orchard on the outskirts of town.
Summary: It's that time of year again in which the household sneakily gathers free fruit-pickers--uh, I mean, makes a celebration of the annual Spring harvest. Food, festivities, and fruit collection? Bring a basket.
Rating: Rated C. For cavities.



[The entire orchard is decorated for the event with streamers and flowers along the fences; pinwheels, too, though they're always there. There's a looot of fruit to be picked, and Nami will supply baskets for everyone-- and anyone who comes bearing a basket of their own can take it away filled with fruit at the end of the day. In the meantime, enjoy the scenery and the food and drink and each other's company. The harvest ends at sunset.]

[ooc: Cross-thread and threadjack to your heart's content. You can be out amongst the trees, in where the food is being served (there'll be a few tables to sit at on the back porch area), lurking in the house for whatever reason or anything else you can think of to do at a huge family gathering like this :|a The food is delicious, supplied by Sanji - and beware the roving Hughes with his camera. |D

I will also be slow as hell to begin with because my internet is dead, but pfft there are a lot of other people at this thing. SCRATCH THAT I LIED. What the hell, computer. B| ...anyway, go nuts.]

[Teehee.] Don't look so panicked. I'm sure she loves you just the way you are.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

But they're a symbol of love and affection from my little angel~!

... Maybe I could make one...

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Hm, you could. The fences are all decorated with flowers. I'm sure we won't miss a few.

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

So gracious of you, Nami~! I think I will~!

[pauuuuse]

Ah, this would be a lot easier if I knew how to make one...

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Heaving a sigh. Clearly because you can't make a tiara all your other skills as an awesome chef/kickass ex-knight/all round nice guy are useless. Clearly. Grabbing your wrist.] Come on. I'll give you a hand.

[Let us go this way!

...or that way, actually. Away from Elicia's camera spree. |Db]

[Spoilers: The real reason you divorced him. He always knew he should've been a florist.

And fine, if he must be separated from his child. u_u It is for a good cause, this time.]

So Nami knows how to make tiaras? [He honestly didn't know.]

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Sort of. Haven't made one since Sheena and I were girls, but it can't be too hard. [She decorates fence posts with flowers all the time, how hard can it be? Luckily for Sanji, all the flowers she ordered in today are white. Plucking a few off the fence now.]

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

[Not one to let a lady do all the work, Sanji decides to at least give it a shot. He picks up two flowers and... ties the stems together. >_>; Into a knot]

... Hmm.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[Snrk.] No comment. [She's not giggling at you, honest.]

...here, look-- [She's peering across the flowers until she finds a collection practically designed to weave along the fence rail.] We could do it with just the stems, but it'll fall apart. These ones are already wired together. We'll just add the extras and see if we can get it to sit nicely. [Which she'll do now, winding the stems around the wire in the gaps. Theyyyy will probably not last the day, but at least he'll have a few flowers left behind. And can claim vigorous daughter pounces as an excuse. >_>] I don't suppose you have a knife or a pair of scissors, do you?

[oda-hates-me.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sure Elicia won't notice the difference.

[And for the purpose of this thread, magical pocket is handed over!]

Sanji has a magical pocket? 8Da

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[She'll take the pocketknife with a grin.] Thanks!

[And just bear with her while she measures the crown of your head and cuts the wire off at the right point that she can wind the two ends together and make you a pretty tiara. 8|a] There. Not as good as Vash's, and I had to destroy half my decorations to do it, but-- [Elicia clearly comes first >.>]
