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.))

"Oh, no, not at all. I find a great honour to be bestowed with such a duty and will do my utmost to protect them. I wish for everyone to be safe and happy and will do anything in my power to achieve that."

"Ahaha, I don't think I will ever be able to understand how a person is able to derive honour from protecting humans~ Though to each their own fancies~"

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

"I was human once so it's only natural for me, I suppose."

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

...There's a considerable pause at that, followed by a low laugh from the youkai. "Oho, I see. You were once one of them~" That's disappointing. "Well now, I suppose it is natural for someone who was once human to protect the rest of the riffraff~"

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

He nods. "I was... then I was chosen and given a second life. They aren't riffraff, there are lots of very special people among them that I want to watch over. And anyway, I was given this second chance to protect them. That is the duty given to me."

"Well I suppose if you're on your second attempt at this game called 'life', you might as well play your part as you're told so not to squander it~" Sadly, she isn't too bothered about Labrador's life story and so begins twirling her parasol whilst speaking. "--Though when you return to referring to 'special people', that merely falls back into acting out of memory of someone, correct? Ah, dear me~"

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

He nods. "Well, half and half. I do want to protect those I've known before, but there are also people that I've met after being reborn that are special to me to."

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

"So basically you encapsulate all those people who you meet within a special shell of protection. How quaint."

[floralprophecy.livejournal.com]

"Well... I've never thought of it that way... but I suppose that is true"

[floralphantasm.livejournal.com]

"Indeed, well then." It seems this conversation has finally struck a poor note with the youkai. One can only carry on a conversation for so long out of politeness after all. Making friends and protecting them all seems so pointless to her. "I believe the garden work I have done will suffice for now. I shall part ways with you now, bishop Labrador. Your sparkling conversational skills have been a treat to listen to." There's a touch of sarcasm there as she turns to leave.

"I understand. I shall see you later then, Miss Yuuka." And he chooses not to mind that sarcasm, all he does is smile gently as he watches her leave. Everything is entitled to their own views after all even if he still can't imagine how anyone could be totally alone with no connection at all to other beings. He'd had a rather lonely childhood and he's died alone so in this new life he is rather determined to make more friends and to protect them.
