By Yggdrasil, gratulations to the warriors who have been deemed worthy of the welcoming crown. May you do Balamb proud in your terms.

[Action]

[The last time Sigyn made a blurb on the network (not including when she reported herself to Mr. Raisin Razem) she'd been talking about starting her own garden, and being in need of tomato seeds. Now some time has passed since then, and she's gathered all the material required for her garden.

She sits outside, knee-deep in dirt, with a hammer, some cut planks, nails, and a small shovel. She's started to make a little digging area against one of the walls, replacing dirt and lowering the bump and jags of dirt and grass. She's already gotten quite a bit of dirt on her clothes (thank goodness for these overalls) and skin, so it might be difficult to recognize her, especially with her hair tucked under a cap.

And, no, she didn't ask for permission to start this garden.]

Billy is patrolling the gardens, looking for remnants of Pinkie's earlier lollipop show. He finds some and smiles, then approaches the site of a new construction.

You've decided that we need something more...organic than lollipops growing here?

[fotlenke]

[ She looks over her shoulder, and smiles ] I've missed tending my own Garden. And I wanted to replicate something from home to help ease my want for my realm.

[morphitudinous]

[He smiles back.]

Oh, I understand. I'd do the same, but I don't think Garden would allow me to build a whole laboratory.

How big was your old garden?

[fotlenke]

It stretched along the hills and the fields about the mountains. [ Big garden ] But my very own private garden was shared with my mother and sisters. It sat just behind our home.

[morphitudinous]

[Billy almost felt his eyes widening. That was a rather impressive garden, yes.]

Wow. I'm sure it must have been a nice place. Do you think this one will be appealing too?

[fotlenke]

[ she nods. ] I only hope. It shall never have the glow that my mother brings to the flower petals, but I shall try to make it hospitable.

[morphitudinous]

Glow? Is that literal, or... [He's seen stranger.]

It should work. Most of the climates that Garden travels to are fairly moderate. And it'll be nice to have some color around here that isn't a candy wrapper.

[fotlenke]

Lit like the stars above the waters.

[ She nods. ]

I have not a notion what a wrapper is, but I think that my garden will be without candies.

[morphitudinous]

I see.

[Not that he had a true clarification. Sigyn seemed fond of speaking in poetic riddles.]

A candy wrapper is something like a sheet of paper. It protects the snacks. [He chuckles.] I tried to tell her that candy wouldn't grow, but stranger things have happened, I suppose. But it's definitely safer to use seeds. We could use some more plant decoration here.

...well, aside from the allergy sufferers, but they should be medicated.

[fotlenke]

Just how does she expect a candy to grow from the earth? [ She gives Billy an incredulous look. ] Magics, perhaps, but does she expect to farm the treats like one would farm pumpkins, corn and carrots?

[morphitudinous]

I don't know. Maybe she does!

[Billy would be a bad friend if he laughed at the idea, so he smiles instead]

Anyway, I wish you the best with this garden. It's harder to keep something in an open area safe than I first expected, but they shouldn't want to mess with your plants.

[fotlenke]

How kind of you. [ She beams and rises, coming over to place a chaste, friendly kiss upon his cheek. ] My thanks for your well wishes.

[morphitudinous]

[Billy rubbed at his chin and glanced at his feet, certainly not embarrassed. A little unused to friendly affection, he'd insist.]

Any time. Take care! I'm sure it'll be great. And I can't wait to see them.

[He waves]
