LET'S. GET. GARDENIIIING.

[blessedbyfarore]

Who: Everyone!
What: Gardening!
When: Sunday 14th August, all day
Where: Outside the Welcome Centre
Summary: Finally, the time has come to get Luceti's memory garden on the road.
Rating: ...I sincerely hope this won't go above a PG rating.

Early on Sunday morning, Link can be found outside the Welcome Centre - gathering seedlings and seed packets, setting aside a willow sapling, laying out gardening tools. When it's still fairly early by the standards of most people, especially for a Sunday morning in summer, the following message will go out over the journals:

"Hi, everyone! D'you remember the garden I talked about earlier? Well, all the beds have been dug and I've got lots of plants, so come over to the Welcome Centre today and plant something for your friends that have gone home!"

If anyone heads on over, they'll find Link sitting back and relaxing, keeping an eye on the piles of gardening implements, small pots of seedlings and packets of seeds and a collection of bulbs, and a large sheet of paper and bundle of pencils. Across the top of the paper, the words, 'Leave a message for friends!' is written, and Link has already written the first message - 'Hi Vivi, I hope you like the gardens! Love Link'.

There will be snack runs over the course of the day. And if he can convince certain people, live music. Remembering friends, being outside on a sunny day (refreshing after yesterday's storm!), nice food, and music - what could be better?


((OOC: Forward-dated to Sunday. Open to everyone, mingle away! If anyone has questions or needs help or wants to know WTF is going on, Link will be on hand for the whole day to keep an eye on things.))

"I think we can grow it if we find it somewhere else," she says, thinking carefully. "We can move some of the moss from there to our garden."

[blessedbyfarore]

"Like in the forest?" He's definitely seen some there. "I can bring some over tomorrow."

[lostinmyway]

"Oh, I could help!"

After all, it was a lot of fun looking for berries with Link this morning.

[blessedbyfarore]

"Okay," he agrees cheerfully, "Should we meet in my garden tomorrow morning, then?" And then it's just a quick jump across the road and past community house four to the forest.

[lostinmyway]

"All right. I'd like to see your garden again."

Now whether she'll remember to meet him....

[blessedbyfarore]

...Good point. Maybe he can swing by her place if she's not there after a little while...

"It's growing really nicely," he says instead, "I kind of want to plant a fruit tree. Next summer, we can have fruit right there!"

[lostinmyway]

That might be for the best.

"Oh, what kind of fruit will you grow?" Maybe he could grow all kinds of trees.

[blessedbyfarore]

"Apples might be easiest," he muses, "And more berry bushes. I wonder if anyone else here grows fruit?"

[lostinmyway]

"Hmm.... Maybe we could find out. Then we could help them pick the fruit."

Unlike many, Grune has no ulterior motive of hoping to be asked to share, too.

[blessedbyfarore]

Oh, really? Link does. Yum, fruit.

"Uh huh. Maybe the next garden we plant can be a fruit one!"

[lostinmyway]

"We could plant a whole orchard!" It would be so much fun!

[blessedbyfarore]

"That might take a lot of time to take care of," he muses - wasn't there an orchard in the farm lands near the mountains?

Still, it was a bit hard to reach for a casual snack.

[lostinmyway]

"Maybe all our friends could get together and look after it," she suggests. It could be something fun to do together.

[blessedbyfarore]

"Maybe," he smiles, "Or we can work on the one in the farm lands."

[lostinmyway]

"There's an orchard in the farm lands?" Did she know about this?

[blessedbyfarore]

She does now! "I think so. It was there during the Luceti Valley experiment and I think it was also there when it ended."

[lostinmyway]

"I wonder what kind of fruit grows there."

She doesn't remember that she went there after Luceti Valley and got a ton of mikans from Nami.

[blessedbyfarore]

A shrug. "It's some kind of fruit that's not in Hyrule. I think it's from someone else's world." He didn't get to try mikans either.

[lostinmyway]

"Oh, my. Fruit from another world." It sounds so exciting!

[blessedbyfarore]

"It's kind of neat, huh? There's all sorts of foods here from other places. Like dango."

Tanabata left an impression on him.

[lostinmyway]

"Dango, hmm...." For some reason, that sounds familiar.

[blessedbyfarore]

"It's Japanese. They're little sticky balls on a stick and they're really nice." They're sweet, of course Link thinks they're nice.


((OOC: Heh, got this just before bed! Also, updated Link's CR post :) ))

[lostinmyway]

Think, think, think.... Oh! That was what Giles gave her at the star festival.

With that memory actually pinned down for a change, she smiles. "Oh, yes, they're very good."


[OOC: Awwww! I love how these two are getting to be such biffles. ♥]

[blessedbyfarore]

"Uh huh! And they have a whole lot of flavours. I'm going to ask Hijiri if he knows how to make them, he's from Japan."

And it's safer than asking Tsuzuki.


((OOC: It is terribly cute ♥ ))

[lostinmyway]

"Oh, is Hijiri one of your friends?"

Link has so many friends--it's very nice.
