[OPEN] Wow I am so sorry for all this spam

[bufudine]

Who: Serph ANYONE LIVING IN THE EMBRYON BASE and YOU
Where: At the Embryon Base, located near the Forest Quadrant.
When: Thursday onwards, after the base gets thoroughly trashed :T
Style: So flexible :>
Status: OPEN HOUSE VISITS

[If you were passing by the Embryon Base on the way to or from the Forest Quadrant, you'd probably notice that it looks... different, from usual.

For one, there's a good chunk of the second storey wall missing.

The garden, which previously had all kinds of plants growing in Vatheon mugs, many of which had been flowering, is now smashed up, many of the mugs lying shattered on the ground. The orange rose bush, which had been the first thing Serph and Cielo planted, is now split in half. There's also a nice new crater in the paving.

All caused by a harmless intrusion into their territory that turned into an all out brawl.

Still, Serph's not too bothered by the rampant destruction; if they were going to lose something in that fight, it was better their flowers than comrades. And... besides, it's a reminder that they can't become too attached to this base. Not if they want to reach Nirvana.

Nevertheless, it'd be a shame leave this mess here. And they can always replant.

...Mmmyep, there sure is a lot of work to be done.]

Comments

Assuming a couple things. Lemme know if not okay.

[Busy as he'd been, Zelos hadn't had a lot of time for socializing outside the club lately, though he had caught wind of the somewhat... creative remodeling that had been done to Serph's home and was especially disappointed to hear about the roses.

Which may just be why the Chosen's brought a wheelbarrow with two adolescent potted rose bushes, blazing so orange one would have a tough time distinguishing them from traffic cones if not for the shape.]

Anyone home? I come baring gifts!

Looks fine! And also Zelos you are the best friend ( ˘ ³˘)✿

[bufudine]

[Serph looks up from sweeping up a pile of broken mugs. They'd managed to salvage some of the plants, but it's definitely not worth trying to fix the mugs. ...Besides, they have such a surplus from the fairy tale curse, they're not going to be wanting for mugs in a while.

Seeing Zelos, Serph abandons his job and walks over, broom in hand.]

Are these...?

[For them? Serph seems pleased（*´▽｀*）!!!]

♥♥❁

[chosen_gigolo]

Thought you might need replacements! I heard what happened and couldn't just sit by, y'know? Besides, if you don't have plants this place is kinda dreary. No offense.

[Zelos sets down the wheelbarrow and leans over to hoist up one of the pots. It's easily far heavier than any human should be able to lift, but Zelos manages with a minimum of effort.]

Where do you want it?

[twiceinhabited]

[While she's walking her Eevee, both her and Amane notice the wreckage and mess.

Worried and curious, they both went over and investigate.]

...Serph?

[bufudine]

[Serph pauses in his sweeping when he hears Amane's voice. By now, there's a pretty big pile of broken pieces of mug near him. What they'll do with them, Serph doesn't know; that's a hurdle for another time. Probably just leave it there...

He approaches, broom in hand, and nods in greeting, giving one to both Amane and the Eevee.]

Have you been well?

[Nope, nothing unusual here.]

[twiceinhabited]

I've been doing well.

[She glance at the broken mugs, and then back at him. Shae sits down next to Amane, giving him a concerned look.]

...What happened here?

[medama]

[ What strikes Guriko the most among the destruction, perhaps, is the broken mugs and scattered plants. She locks eyes with that particular mess for one instant, before turning on her heels and running away.

... And coming back about ten minutes later, with a dark purple mug, carrying a baby forget-me-not in its hold.

Gently, she places the mug down beside the wreck, continuing to squat by it, staring at how pretty it is. ]

Plant-nee.

[ That's it's name. ]

[rainbowarch]

[Yep. This was a mess. At least that it was only property damage and there were no casualties. Still, this didn't mean that Cielo wasn't lamenting the loss of plant life. They worked so hard to plant all these!

But the thing about a garden was that you could replant it.

As he's pondering what they could do about that crater in the ground (make it a pond? There are water plants, right?), he spots Guriko just as she runs away.

Huh.

But it's not long before she comes back and he watches her put down her mug. After a moment, Cielo walks over and crouches down beside her.]

Plant-nee?

[bufudine]

[Serph doesn't recognise the girl, bit since she's not coming into the building itself, he lets her be; there are plenty who like to drop by the garden, after all. He watches her silently for a while before loping off and returning with a Vatheon mug containing a tiny tulip.

He quietly crouches down next to her and sets his mug down next to hers. See, they look good together!]

[tsundyne]

[Seeing Serph's recent broadcast worried Yukari.

Mainly because she's normally seen him as an open and welcoming person, so the warning to keep intruders away was a little...off-putting. In fact, she thinks maybe she should have called first, before making her way over, but...curiosity gets the best of her, so she'll wander over anyway.

...

And it's easy to see, at least, why such a broadcast was necessary.

Her eyes widen more than slightly at the mess, and she'll walk closer-- quietly-- looking for any member(s) of the Embryon.]

Wh- Whoa...

[bufudine]

[By this time, Serph's done with sweeping and is replanting some of the sprouts. There's a pretty big pile of dirt in front of him and another pile of plants he'd pulled out of smashed mugs. A line of mugs is next to him. When he hears Yukari, though, he looks up from his work and stands, brushing off the dirt from his hands.

He approaches and gives her a nod in greeting.]

Have you been well?

[Nothing is amiss here!!]

[withoutasign]

[Serph's last post has Signless worried, so he drops by to check on his friends. He's shocked at the destruction, but manages to hide it well.]

Can I help you pick up?

[bufudine]

[When he sees Signless, Serph stands and brushes dirt from his hands. There's a pretty big pile of dirt in front of him and another pile of plants he'd pulled out of smashed mugs. A line of unbroken mugs is next to him, some of them already filled with soil and sprouts that had been replanted in them.

He nods, both in greeting and in acceptance of the offer to help and moves over so there's space for Signless to join him. People keep asking him what happened, so he explains.]

Someone wandered into the building. There was a misunderstanding, and a fight broke out.

[warrior_king]

[Just when Gorthan had decided to pay Serph a visit...

While he tries to maintain his usual stoic and slightly grumpy expression, a genuine look of pain crosses his features as he inspects the incredible mess that is the base of Serph's tribe.]

Serph... your flowers. I know how much you care about them... are they still salvageable, in spite of this chaos?

[Soon, he seems to realize something.]

Chaos, indeed... a fight occurred here, did it not?

[In spite of the fact that his huge sleeves probably won't stay that way for long, Gorthan rolls them up, determined to help.]

Allow me to assist you.

[bufudine]

[At Gorthan's approach, Serph stands to properly greet him. He's more than happy for more help, and nods as his answer to all those questions and acceptance of Gorthan's aid! The garden bed is looking a little lacklustre right now, some of the herbs and such being either uprooted or covered in soil from dirt being kicked up. Some of the stems of flowers have been snapped off and strewn about.

Truth is, as much as he cares for the flowers, he's not terribly upset over their loss.]

Some are salvageable, but others will need to be removed and replaced.

[There's a hint of amusement when he says his next words.]

It seems both plants and walls are more fragile than demons.

[techno_shaman]

[Sera is sitting along the wall in shorts and a bright orange t-shirt, picking up pieces of a mug that wasn't shattered to dust and slowly gluing them back together. They don't look pretty with big globs of adhesive running down the cracks, but they can hold plants once more.

She just wants to help.]

[bufudine]

[Serph's taking a break to see how the others are doing, and wanders over to Sera. He silently watches what she's doing before approaching, making his footsteps audible so she knows he's there.]

[amnesiadragon]

[Ryu, half-hidden by two stacks of small flowerpots, heads over to Sera, putting them down gently. He feels really bad about causing so much damage. He didn't mean to...]

I... thought you guys might be able to use these...

[angelphones]

[... Welp. Katsu was heading to the forest for some stress relief, but he can't help but stop and stare. He heads over towards the garden, blinking in confusion.]

Huh...

[rainbowarch]

[And here is Cielo, digging through the mess and pulling out any mugs of plants that survived the battle.]

Ah, this one looks okay.

[Turning around...oh, looks like there's lots of visitors today!]

Hey Katsu.

watch me be slow to everything!

[bufudine]

[It's been a long time since he's seen Katsu, so when he spots him, Serph approaches! He nods in greeting.]

Katsu. Have you been well?

[brbstealingpknm]

....... [Silver will just lineface and head straight to his peach tree ok. At least it's still standing.] Jeeze.

[...Ok he might actually maybe sweep up a broken mug or two, too.]

[bufudine]

[When Serph sees Silver, he stops his work and goes over to him, bringing his broom along with him. Mmmyep, Silver's plant was thankfully unharmed.

He nods in greeting.]

There was a fight. It was stopped before your plant was damaged.

[enfire]

( after some time -- perhaps even after some of the visitors have thinned out; heat makes his appearance. there are a few supplies tucked under his arm, hidden from view by his cloak. he makes no effort to draw any attention to himself as he walks pointedly towards the rose bush. or rather, what was left of it...

once he reaches it; he bends down, starting to lay out the things he brought with him... )

Assuming Serph hasn't shown Heat his message misfire yet good with you?

[bufudine]

[TOO BAD, HEAT; leader is interrupting you! Or coming to help. Hard to tell.

Serph approaches, footsteps audible on the ground.]

Heat. A moment of your time.
