    ✧ — A garden was always a good thing to start with, when things went to hell.

    Proof of life. Proof of a future.

    It wasn't that Video had ever gardened before. He hardly needed to. But, even so, he understood the importance of it. And, well, what better way to get into it then starting from scratch? It'd taken a bit of work, obviously, and it was far from perfect. Video thinks he'd like to make it a greenhouse or something at some point. Or like .. he's not sure. Just something more sheltered from the elements, that's all. But, for the moment, they can be content with this.

    "Pretty sure I've got everythin' that could pro'lly grow here," Video tells her, ears flopped forward as he fusses over the dirt. He has no idea what he's doing, frankly. But he's done what he can, and there's a book carelessly tossed around the outskirts, open in case Video needs to check on it. "Which is .. a bit. But I mean, gotta have a li'l variety, right?" Aimless chatter had always been a skill of Video's, and one he honed with every passing week. If all else failed, and you couldn't come up with a genuine conversation, the least you could do is fill the silence. "They should be separated into pretty stuff and like .. food and herbs. But I am .. not sure how well," He grins, wide and sheepish. I mean, obviously he'd labeled the seeds, he's not an idiot, but Video's sort of been struggling to read the labels, ya see, and Video knew the dangers of trying to read like an idiot when his head says no. Video hated migraines.

    "This is gonna be .. a project, huh," He sighs, though he's grinning.. His head is foggy, and his body aches. Video has things to do, though, and he's happy to contribute and all that. Gardening was always something he'd wanted to do eventually. "Like. Forever." Was he making sense, or was he just talking to make himself feel better? He can't tell. "S'pose it'll be worth it, though," .. As long as it didn't get horribly burnt down. Yikes.


    // aphrodite s. k. , yall can post whenever though LMAO


    His little flower garden outside of his cabin it was all ruined now wasn't it?. The overflood most have swipped it away with everything else. It made him feel a bit sad because he had put alot of time and effort into it but...at the same time the Debiru who had done all of that was a different Debiru from the one was now. That Debiru had been blessed with no memories from thier past so could live a such carefree and joyful life. But that was no longer possible. " What s-sort of garden are y-you making?." he would ask and ignored the fact he had heared when Video had talked to himself. Some people did that when being in thier own little world, no reason to judge someone for that. Getting himself closer would glance at everything Video had done this far and it was a great idea Video had come up with especially if he was planning to plant vegetables too which could give them food in the winter when prey might be more difficult to found.

    Quite some time ago, Blits had tried to make a garden. It hadn't gone well by any means, sadly. Radioactive ground was not forgiving to his mistakes, and it meant that the mistakes he made due to his fried mind were not exactly the fuel for a gardening fever. It'd left him rather sad, the plants never even springing forth from the dirt. That was behind him, of course, because now he wasn't the one trying to make the garden. Someone that was likely far more skilled in such a concept than he ever could hope for was! He shuffled over, his orange eyes flickering over the book. Slowly his tail curls, approaching a bit closer. "I've heard that, that variety helps the plants grow better," Blits offered with a wave of an arm. "And more stuff means less weeds, yea? I think I read that somewhere, probably the dictionary," he muses.


    Blits knows that he has seeds in his pocket dimension, and water, and some other random items that he'd chucked in there with little regard other than 'it might be useful later'. Was now the correct and more useful time? He tips his horned head. "I've got some seeds! If you want some more, that is. I don't know what kinds they are, so they're the, they're the surprise kind," he chattered, nodding his head after he finished his offer.


    Jackson wasn't particularly versed in the specifics of plants. At all. He could recognize a plant if he was out traveling and needed something to help him with a headache or cough, but anything more than that he was lost. Plants certainly peaked his interest, however. The fact that the action of merely eating something growing out of the ground could either save your life or kill you was fascinating. There was no room for error when it came to growing and selecting plants, and the danger along with the intellectual challenge was thrilling. Jack trotted up to the group gathered around the soon-to-be garden and gave a nod of acknowledgement to each. "I can help however is needed," he said gruffly. "If anyone has any notes about particular plants, I'd also be interested."

    ✦ ✧ ✦ Aphrodite rests beside Video, letting out a sigh. This new garden was the birth of something new. She didn't need to think about Mike anymore or her old flower garden - She and Video were going to create a better one. "Variety is important!" Aphrodite declares with a smile. "Oh, don't be so down! It's going to be fun, it'll just take a while. We can split it up half and half, maybe? Half for flowers and herbs and half for food?" She says with a shrug of her shoulders.

    As many bright faces approach them, she beams a smile at them. "Oh, well, Video and I were thinking we could start growing our own food. A functional garden!" She says with a purr towards Debiru.

    "Surprise seeds? We'll take them. We can plant them around the edge and see what grows from them." Aphrodite responds to Blits, happy to see the green boy around again. She didn't mind if they didn't know what the seeds were. Sometimes, it was nice to have surprises. As long as they would grow, she'd be happy.

    When Jack approaches, she shrugs her shoulders. "That is our conundrum. I know all and all about herbs, but I really don't know anything about growing food." She says, looking at the ground. "If you ever want to learn about medical plants, you know where to find me!" She says with a purr in her voice.

    "So, Video, where do we start?"
