Let us take a little seed~ Plant it gently, water it well~

Who: Everyone!
What: The garden party!
When: All day Friday, May 25 (Happy Belated Towel Day!)
Where: The Memorial Garden
Summary: Let's get gardening! The Memory Garden needs a little fixing up after the winter/spring. Will you come to help? Refreshments are provided!
Rating: If this goes above PG, Grune will have a sad.
[Are you ready to garden? The memory garden needs your help, with weeding, watering, tidying, raking, fertilizing, pruning, trimming, expanding beds, edging borders, transplanting, and planting. Which job will you take?

When you're feeling tired and hungry, delicious refreshments have been provided. Go ahead, have a snack!

Grune will be around for...most of the day. It would be all day, but occasionally she'll forget what she's doing and wander away. She'll always come back, though!

When she's around, she'll alternate between looking after the garden and saying hello. She's so glad you came, each and every one of you!]

[OOC: I am so sorry for dropping off the face of Luceti this week, everyone. Work basically went, "Oh hey, Vyc is planning to host a mini-event this week? Awesome! This is the perfect time to go haywire!" And it promptly did.

Replies from me will come probably tomorrow at the earliest. D: Sorry again.]

[Yeah, Grune's good people too. Even if Pao-Lin isn't comfortable talking about the specific details of her trauma around the woman, she's safe knowing that Grune won't press her about it, and she can just forget about things for a while.]

Yeah, I am. You did a good job organizing this garden party.

[...okay, so Pao-Lin suspects that there must have been more than a few people out there making sure Grune didn't forget she wanted to do this in the first place, but still.]

[lostinmyway]

[Pao-Lin, you have good instincts. Grune would still be talking about the party come December without her friends.

But anyway. She smiles in delight.] Thank you! Everyone worked very hard and did their best, so it all worked out.

[i_am_not_cute]

[Certainly seems that way.]

We can plant flowers today too, right? [Because she definitely has someone she'd like to plant something for.]

[lostinmyway]

Yes, of course! [It's always the right day to plant flowers...except in the dead of winter. Then, not so much.]

What kind of flowers do you want to plant?

[i_am_not_cute]

...what kind of flowers do you think Luca would like?

[Yep. Another friend sent home. Though Luca's the first person Pao-Lin's thought of planting something for, since she has her Sketchbook of Homebound Friends as a memorial. She'll still doodle him in there, but...he deserved something a little more, too.]

[lostinmyway]

[Her smile slips into something quieter at that question. Pao-Lin is friends with Luca too, then. That's good. Luca should have lots of friends.]

Well, I'm going to plant him some white lobelia. It's very pretty.

[i_am_not_cute]

White lobelia? I don't think I know what those are.

[lostinmyway]

Oh, they're little white flowers that grow really well. When you have lots of them, they're very beautiful.

[i_am_not_cute]

[So poetic, Grune.]

I see...I was kinda thinking of planting lilies for Luca, for some reason.

[She'd read somewhere that lilies symbolized purity and devotion. That could potentially apply to Luca, couldn't it?]

[lostinmyway]

[The most.]

That's a good idea. Lilies are a very pretty kind of flower.

[i_am_not_cute]

I guess we can plant both, then, can't we? One kind of flower is apparently not enough to hold all the feels for Luca.]

[lostinmyway]

Yes, that's right. We can plant lots of flowers for him, so he'll know how much we love him.
