Harvest is Late Again.

[mikangirl]

Who: Nami (sort of) and anyone so inclined to help her out!
What: A harvest.
When: November 5th and 6th
Where: The mikan grove.
Summary: Nami didn't make the call for volunteers this year, despite already running late.  Luckily, Law did.
Rating: Rated PG just to be safe.


[So Nami didn't have a good time on the draft.  Which marks her up there with every other survivor of the damn thing, so nothing special there.  Events were rather shattering for both her and her crew, and she's been up here since her return, working to harvest the orchard on her own fifteen hours a day.  It's mindless and it's something to focus on, and she just didn't have the heart to make a public call out on the journals, let alone ask for help.  Aang and Marco came to help her out some earlier, for which she's silenty grateful.  But at this rate she'll be at least another week.

She hasn't heard Law's entry on the locked community (or anyone else's, for that matter), so when volunteers start arriving, she's surprised.  And not quite sure what to do except sort of...keep going. 

But.  Something tight within unwinds a little.  She might not be good at showing appreciation today, but it helps.  It really does.]

((ooc:  I've had a request for a harvest thread with Nami, so I figured putting this up is a good idea after all.  Nami herself isn't very sociable, though, so just warning ahead of time!  Backtaggable into forever.))

That's a good idea, Fenimore! The more help we give her, the happier she'll be!

[Logic!]

[blessingone]

[Sophie nods and hefts her basket. She can get behind this logic.

Fenimore looks a little more dubious.] Well...something like that, anyway. I guess it's true enough.

[lostinmyway]

[Grune sets her basket down on the ground and starts gathering up some mikans from the nearest tree.]

Have you said hello to Nami yet?

[blessingone]

[Fenimore briefly envies Grune's height before turning her attention to helping Sophie contribute.]

No, not yet. Although I don't really know if I will, really. I don't really know her all that well. I mean, I got a map from her once, but other than that we haven't really talked much.

[lostinmyway]

It's all right. You don't need to be shy, Fenimore. Nami is very nice.

[Is there anyone in this village that Grune doesn't at least sort of know?]

[blessingone]

I'm not being shy! [Normally, Fenimore being this quick and fervent about denying something would suggest that she is being insincere, but she actually does mean it. This time.] I just...she's probably busy enough as it is. That's all.

[She also looked a little tired, though she wasn't sure enough of this feeling to actually say it out loud.]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... [That is a good point. But:] Well, maybe we can go talk to her when she's taking a break.

[blessingone]

Looking at the size of this crowd, there will be a lineup by then.

[She would put good money on the bet that Grune will miss the sarcasm and take that literally. Oh well.]

[lostinmyway]

[And that money would be very safe, because....]

My, do you think so? Then maybe we should go right now.
