Which: Open. Brackets prefer, ok with prose.
Where: Whatever prompts take us.
What: Catch-all for October


[A - Communal Garden]
Kazuma never thought he'd have a green thumb until his experience in the Realm of Stories revealed he actually liked taking care of plants. So when he heard about the communal garden, he of course wanted to check it out.

There were some empty patches when he visits, others already in use. He probably should have brought something to plant as well, something to keep in mind for next time. The garden was rather lively with it's magical frogs and fish too. It's honestly a nice setup, even if he finds the singing a bit overdone. There are some overgrowth and weeds that were missed here and there and, without thinking, Kazuma starts to work on removing them.

If he's not doing that, he's tending to what's already been planted or helping others plant things into the soil bed.

[B - The Cluckening]
". . ."

What in hellspawn thought to create giant chickens? Giant by chicken standards at least. Kazuma had found a few wandering around his treehouse this morning, probably to pick at the grubs. There's even a rooster, making it's cock-a-doodle morning call and blocking Kazuma from leaving. Unlike the docile chickens, the rooster proved to be one aggressive beast. He dodges a swipe from it's claws that dig into the bark of the treehouse as he manages to pass through the door.

"Tch. Stupid bird!" This is not how you convince someone to eat chicken. The rooster doesn't seem done with him though, and puffs himself up in a threatening display. Not wanting to have these birds lingering around his home, he draws his blades, stands his ground and they enter a stare down. Who will make the first move?

Comments

[chippedsoul]

Well...while I am interested in gardening, I'm not an expert. [He's sure not skill in making stone planters.]

Evenso, I'm sure you'll get the help you need if you ask around. Even if they're not interested in gardening, they may have the skills you're looking for to create your planters and whatever else. [He puts his hands on his hips, a confident grin on his face.] Besides, I get the impression that everyone in this dream world is here, because they want to help with something.

[starshower]

[He isn't wrong about that last part. Everyone she's met so far has wanted to do something to help this world recover from whatever it is that ruined it so much in the first place, herself included, and what better way than to get the plant life back to thriving again?]

What about you, then?

[She starts to sprinkle the tomato seeds into the dirt, creating small trenches for them beneath the posts.]

There any special reason you're here?

[It seems like a more loaded question than it actually is. She isn't expecting a deep, meaningful answer.]

[chippedsoul]

. . . [That question can certainly be just about anything. The garden, the world itself? He doesn't answer immediately, walking away for a moment to get an available watering can nearby. When he returns, he'll start to water the tomato seeds that have already been placed into the soil.]

I suppose, I want to make a difference here. [He left a mess in the Realm of Stories, things back home aren't any better. Maybe here, he hope things will be different, that he'll do better.]

[starshower]

[It's a very general answer to a very general question—ask and you shall receive, but it makes Tifa smile as she digs another small hole for more seeds so he can continue to water down their little line.]

Making a difference can be something as small as planting some fruits, or changing the world.

[She dusts her hands off and anchors them on her knees so she can grin up at him.]

I think you're off to a great start.

[chippedsoul]

[...Tifa may not know what he's been through, but hearing someone tell him he's doing fine is honestly assuring. He manages a small smile, the soil almost sparkling where he had watered.]

Thank you.
