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.

[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.

Lurking

[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?

[ 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.

[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?

[put_a_ring_on_it]

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

[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.

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.

[brynwieldr]

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

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.

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

[latentforlife]

Let me know when you're up for doing so and I'll be over.

[Because treats and cute girls are two of Shuusei's weaknesses after all.]

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

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.

[chickshades]

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

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!

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Have you gotten anything like this back before?

[brynwieldr]

Yes, my tome from home. My shinki's gotten a few items as well.

Video

[put_a_ring_on_it]

I certainly will. I'll need to figure out how to make more of them grow quickly, though.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Later today should be fine, then.

[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.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Well, yes, that goes without saying. Still, it would be nice. Coming here as a shinki must be very lonely.

[put_a_ring_on_it]

Well, at least a season. I suppose I could wait, but I'm a little impatient to be able to make some tarts for everyone.

[She smiles a little shyly at that, but she's grateful for the offer.]

Oh! That would be very helpful, thank you. But if you don't mind my asking...

[Not that she's going to finish that question, but he can probably figure out it's about his arm.]

[put_a_ring_on_it]

A tome...

[Her expression goes thoughtful for a moment, and then she nods.]

...I see. I suppose I might have more to look forward to, then.
