Gratitude [BBS]

[eggplantallergy]

There are a lot of new faces here (a big HELLO to you all!) at the Garden, which has been our home, for most of us, for almost year now. Why not point out all the great things we discovered, so the new cadets can start exploring and feeling at home? If there are things to look forward to, being in a totally new environment can seem less daunting!

Lets all share one thing we appreciate about the Garden. If there's more than one thing, then don't be afraid of making a list!

For me, I'm grateful for a severe lack of eggplants, and all the wonderful events!

Hi, Gakupo.

The freedom flexibility is nice.

So very true!

We're more like a group that promotes school spirit with amazing events for everyone! The last one we had was the sponsorship games, where sponsorship groups were put into groups and faced other groups in a variety of activities. The dare event was most interesting.

Hi, Hassan [this isn't a letter!]

Flexibility in what way?

[alwaysanarcher.livejournal.com]

[eggplantallergy]

Fantastic! Since I'm the leader, I'll need to add your name to our roster.


(ooc: aaannnnd it seems like your name is already on the list! XD That was easy!)

Picking class times.

[eggplantallergy]

That's understandable. All the good classes were usually taken when I was in school. At least here, the maximum capacity seems a bit higher than usual, along with the ability to take the ones you missed later on.

[biladi.livejournal.com]

Yes.

What does the GFC do?

[eggplantallergy]

The GFC creates and promotes events that are fun and encourages school spirit!

[biladi.livejournal.com]

Anything coming up soon?

[eggplantallergy]

Now that you mention it, no. We have to work on that! Oh dear...

[biladi.livejournal.com]

Good luck.

What's the last thing you organized? [He's wondering if he missed anything interesting before his arrival at the garden.]

[eggplantallergy]

Thank you!

We organized the sponsorship games, where sponsorship groups were placed together in competition against other groups.

Eggplants?|

[alwaysanarcher.livejournal.com]

[ooc | I figured it'd be easier to sign up OOC. |D;; Sorry?]

[eggplantallergy]

Yes, eggplants.

Did I spell it wrong?

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I'm unfamiliar with these eggplants.|

[eggplantallergy]

They're atrocious purple vegetables!

...do they not have them where you're from?

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

In Archades we have purple vegetables but not such ones called eggplants.

[eggplantallergy]

Take my advice and don't eat them if you find any here! The horror...

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

Are they that unpleasant??

[eggplantallergy]

Quite so! The taste is too...slimy for me. It's probably a texture thing.

That, and I have a horrible allergic reaction to them.

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

My apologies. Any allergy one might have is hardly a pleasant thing.

[eggplantallergy]

There's no need for apologies! It's not your fault I was cursed this way.

[bunnypassingby]

Can I please join? I really enjoyed the sponsorship games and the Valentine's events.

- Mikuru

[eggplantallergy]

Why, certainly! You asked so politely! I'll be sure to jot down your name and cadet number. Welcome aboard!

-Gakupo

[bunnypassingby]

Oh, thank you! I'll be sure to do my best for the GFC!

- Mikuru

[eggplantallergy]

That's the spirit! Determination like that will get us far!

-Gakupo

[thewindything.livejournal.com]

[eggplantallergy]

That's another great thing to mention! We don't bite! Or...I'm sure I don't!

All sorts! Balls, sports competitions, field days...and we're just getting started!

-Gakupo

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

Allergies can be seen as a curse, I agree. I was merely offering my sympathy on having such a disadvantage.

Allergies are disadvantages, are they not?

[eggplantallergy]

An allergy to eggplants? I doubt it would be a disadvantage.

[thewindything.livejournal.com]

[eggplantallergy]

I'm very glad you have such positive thoughts!

Dances aren't so bad. You have to take ballroom dancing as a compulsory class. Might as well make some use of your new skills, right?

-Gakupo

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

Are they so unpleasant?

[eggplantallergy]

Very much so.

[potionemperor.livejournal.com]

A shame. But now I'm curious on how they might taste.
