[put_a_ring_on_it]

Posted: July 11

Hello, everyone. I have a question - well, two questions, I suppose. Is it common to wake up to find items from your homeland in a random place in your temple?

[She holds up a small plant with some ripe berries growing on it.]

I found this in...

[There's a pause here as she reconsiders that statement, and she shakes her head.]

...Well, in Raphael's cathedral, this morning. I'd like to plant it and share the taste of home with everyone, but it's only a small plant. So my second question is: are there any gods or shinki out there who have the ability to make plants grow? I thought it would be nice to start a little garden behind the cathedral, but we're already in the middle of the harvest season. I'll gladly give whoever can help some berries to take home. Please let me know, and thank you.

It is. Shinki may also get items from their homelands, or they may suddenly remember things from before their death and not turn into ayakashi.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Does anyone know why or how it happens? Not that I'm complaining, of course.

[brynwieldr]

Not in the slightest. It's completely random and seemingly without reason.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Have you gotten anything like this back before?

[chickshades]

I've never gotten any items, but I woke up a few weeks ago and remembered a bunch of things. I think it just happens randomly.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Oh, I didn't know it happened with shinki's memories as well. I wonder if You will be able to remember something too.

[chickshades]

Probably? I wouldn't try and force anything, though.

[At first Shuusei's just lurking at first. Leo's comment is sinking in a bit.]

[When he finally puts that aside he chimes in on this.]

I got something randomly before too. I thought it might be from my past but I wasn't sure.

And are those the berries you told me about?

Yes, this is an ulwaat berry plant. With these, I'll be able to show you how to bake my favorite dessert from my home.

[ And lucky for you, he happens to be hanging out outside his plantation house and right near where the orchard is. It's visible behind him. There isn't anything right now but rows of shrubs... and the occasional odd dark mass that occasionally hovers near some of the plants. ]

Wager if you plant it, it'll likely grow! Speaking from experience, mind but these [ Thumbjerk to the shrubs over his shoulder. ] grow a right treat even if you haven't any experience! But listen, if you ever do get to plant it... d'you mind if I have a few? I'd like to see if it'd grow here too.

[ And a grin. ]

Trade you for some of mine, of course.

I certainly do intend to plant it, but I'll need some sort of magic to make more of it grow quickly enough to share it with everyone.

[She smiles, though, happy for the vote of confidence.]

If I manage to find someone to help, though, I'd be happy to let you plant some in your garden too.

How long does it take them to grow normally, anyroad? Could get lucky'n it'll grow faster'n the norm here. It is heaven after all.

[ But there's a snap of his fingers in realization. ]

There's a thought though! I could ask some of me shadows to give you a hand. They've been helping with the sowing and watering here. Can't ruddy well do it on my own, really. [ And flopping his empty left sleeve to point out why. ]

M'sure if I asked, they'd be able to give you a hand!

[Those are interesting plants...]

I wouldn't even know if I got something from home. Shinki and all.

I can make plants grow.
All I ask is that I can take a few home to record them.
Wait, are they poisonous to cats?

text;

[put_a_ring_on_it]

No, it's not a poisonous plant. The berries are quite delicious, and used in a popular dessert from my homeland.

[nolittlesecret]

So cat safe. Cool.
I've got no social life, so I'm up for whenever you got the time.

[fadingsunshine]

Ah, those look really nice!

Someone already offered, but I recently found out that I can make plants grow! Oh, but that's my shinki power so I think my god would have to use it to make it work.

Text

[put_a_ring_on_it]

If you and your god would be willing to help, I would certainly appreciate it. And of course I'll send you both home with some, freshly picked.

[fadingsunshine]

Thank you! I'll ask him! We're... having a situation right now and we can't leave this place, but I think he'll say yes once things come back to normal.

Still, it's amazing that you found a plant from home! I didn't know that was possible. What do those berries taste like? Sweet? Sour?

I don't have an answer to your first questionnnnor to your second one but a garden sounds like a great idea. I'm gonna get cinnamon trees myself, to grow.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

I always found growing plants to be relaxing at home, so I'm happy to have the opportunity to do it here as well.

[smilingbullet]

Really? Then it's even better that you get the chance to do it here too.

What kind of plants are they, anyway?

Re: Video - From Yoon

[put_a_ring_on_it]

They're called ulwaat berries. They're a little sweet and a little tart. I haven't found anything quite like them here, so I'm quite excited to have them back.

Re: Video - From Yoon

[handsome_genius]

Sweet and tart... like the kind of thing you can make a jelly out of? I've seen people here put that on breads.
