[ Mm, they fidget a little, leaning away like they're trying to decide. ]
It's no good if I let you handle all of it— I'm not gonna learn that way, and I want to help too! It wouldn't be fair, otherwise.
no subject
I understand. ... So... I'll teach you about raising plants! And if you ever have questions, you can swing by the gardening club! If I'm not there, I'm sure one of the other members who have experience can definitely help.
( not that she wouldn't be there or anything... no where to go. no one to be kidnapped by. it's fine. she sure as hell ain't dying after all! )
If you get a starter plant at any store, you're going to want to repot it into a bigger pot with fresh soil as soon as possible, okay?
no subject
[ Is that a starter plant? Like one of those already grown trees that's five feet tall and you stick in the ground outside and pray for fruit—- but no, as much as they like peaches, that's not what they need. It's herbs. Boring herbs that all look the same, like leaves, that smell nice but it's hard to tell one from the other by name if they're put on the spot. ]
...plants are so complicated...
no subject
No, no, like... you know how some stores will let you buy some herbs and stuff in plastic green pots? Those are starter plants!!! But a lot of people leave them in that pot, and it's actually not good for long-term stuff... some shopkeepers are hoping you won't know that though so when they die prematurely from no space and bad soil, you'll come back to try again.
... I would like to work with a fruit tree though someday. ( a little wistful sigh........... ) My house just doesn't have the room.
no subject
Mine doesn't either... It's an apartment complex anyways, so there's no space to do anything, not like here.
[ ... ]
Do you think there's enough room in the courtyard for a peach tree? Like, once it's planted and everything, they can't just pull it out, right? That'd be mean.
[ What if... contraband peach tree... It has to be peach, though. ]
no subject
Well, they do get kind of big... unless they're dwarf trees or semi-dwarves? But I think it could fit... I just don't know if we'd be able to protect it from the teachers and stuff. Hmm.....
( maybe... with the power of her big doe eyes and hikaru's general cuteness, they could team up and make it happen anyways! or they could smuggle a potted dwarf tree in somehow its fine they're fine. )
no subject
Do you mean like bonsai? Are bonsai peach trees a thing??
no subject
no subject
[ EIGHT FEET FOR A DWARF and here they were thinking a normal sized tree might only be that tall. ]
How are we supposed to reach the peaches if they're so tall??
nene................. has REALLY wanted to Fruit Tree can u tell oh my god girl
Actually, most trees in the city and stuff are dwarf trees I think, 'cause it keep them at a more manageable size. But they won't grow any bigger than they can, so...
me thinking about all the fruit trees my roommate planted last month, when will we get fruit
I've never been to the city before... What about the wisteria tree in the school? Does it look like a dwarf, or do you think it'll keep getting bigger and bigger?
send me some fruit ori
( mary, mary, quite contrary, how do soul trees grow? )
picks the baby strawberries and ships them to you
Hm... I don't think I would mind it. It's super pretty, and having all that live right in the middle of school makes me really happy to see! I can't help but feel drawn to it, you know?
STRABEPPIES
... Yeah. It's really pretty. ( just smile like the ditz everyone thinks you are, don't be suspicious! ) I think it'd be really nice to have a small variety though- so if we can get that peach tree....
( CRIME PEACHES!!! )
no subject
Yeah... Until then, I'd be happy to learn how to grow herbs and stuff. Fresh has gotta be better than the dried stuff, and it'd be nice to have a supply of that stuff!
[ Like sometimes Komaeda bleeds on your bay leaves and instead of desummoning imps they go insane ]
no subject
( or other things, since other forms of magic were real here. )
If you can't come to the gardening club meetings, that's okay! I tend to stay a bit late most days, so I'll be happy to help any time. There's extra room in one of the planters, so it should be fine.
( they just... need to be the one to get the seeds. did she say that already? heck. )
no subject
My friends and I hang out after school, so I don't think I can make it to meetings... But I can definitely swing by for a couple minutes before I meet up with them! I definitely won't dump all the work on you!
[ That's enough time, right? Takes two seconds to sprinkle some water. ]
no subject
( and if anyone tries to tamper with the plants she's got gardening tools and a hanako-kun. )no subject
Yeah! That works out perfectly! Thanks, Yashiro-san!
no subject
Of course!! ( ... cries she only knows their first name... she doesn't want to be rude... but she is rude. she is. but also... ) ... Man, now I really want peaches...
no subject
[ me, sitting here at almost midnight, adding peaches to my shopping list on my phone, ]
They won't be as good as ones straight from a tree, but I could stop by the store before school tomorrow morning and we can share them in the courtyard! If we let them warm up in the sun, it'll be close enough!
ORI YOU KEEP LEADING HER TO DELINQUENCY IM CRYING komaeda couldnt corrupt her but you? you can.
Ahh, that'd be fun! Let's do that, then!! What time? ( so that she knows when to sneak out... )
sdafljkh me corrupting nene with cute things, help
[ when is the easiest time to sneak out the windows for her ]
no subject
The morning would be best, I think...
no subject
Then, I'll see you tomorrow morning, bright and early!
