Digital Domestic Saga

Who: Serph, Cielo and YOU!
When: Late morning
Where: Outside the Embryon Base, near the forest
Style: Starting in action, but anything goes!
Status: OPEN!

[If you happen to be near the the forest quadrant, then you might feel the ground shake a little. Pretty strange, huh? But nothing to worry about, right?

The localised miniature quake can be traced back to a rather plain looking three storey building that has a grey flag with a bright orange stripe hanging from a pole sticking out of a window. A short distance away from the building, there's two people standing around a hole in the ground that certainly hadn't been there just moments before. A wheelbarrow containing a rosebush with orange flowers sits not far from them, and all along the ground are unopened sacks of dirt and a plethora of those mugs, some of which have fallen onto their sides. There's a bag containing seed packets and beans on the ground, too, and a recording of Sheik's Song of Healing can be heard playing on loop from a SFC nearby.

Serph eyes the hole for a little while longer before nodding to Cielo, giving him the signal to use another Magni Bomb. Which he does. Enthusiastically.

...That sure is another miniature quake happening. But the hole looks big enough for the rose bush, now.

Yep, this is what they've been saving their Starfish Tokens for. Approach?]

[Right, right. You had to plant things at certain times. Cielo gets a bag of soil and some of the mugs that fell over. Luckily, none of them seemed to be broken. He opens the bag of soil with a knife and starts filling the mugs.

Nice to see they've found a use for these things.]

I am not terribly good at cooking, but thank you! Maybe I will have learned by the time they grow.

[She turns over the seed packets to read about them, then goes over to the dirt and makes sure it's aerated.]

Be sure to not pack it in too tightly. It makes it difficult for new roots to take hold.

[Cielo hasn't tried cooking either. Maybe that's what they should do next? It would be nice to be able to make something for people to enjoy, and he knows that a lot of people enjoyed cooking.

He's watching and nodding as Zelda explains the importance of not packing the soil too tightly.]


How do you know how much to pack it?

[He doesn't want to make things tough for the plants. :c]

I haven't ever really cared for a potted planet before. Perhaps if you just be sure to break up any large clumps in the dirt and pour it in without patting it down it will be loose enough?

[This is cheering her up more than she thought it would, or maybe her own Song of Healing has more of an effect than previously observed?]

[personal profile] rainbowarch 2012-03-08 05:03 pm (UTC)(link)
[So there's really no way to measure, just use your best judgment.]

Ah, okay.

[He starts filling more mugs, careful not to make them too packed.]

We just used a small hand till to stir up the ground. It's a tool with multiple prongs. It loosens the earth enough that you can plant seeds. Of course, if you wish to plant something larger you must dig a hole.

[A wry look at their holes.]

Or explode one.
rainbowarch: (☈ - Fanfiction what's that?)

[personal profile] rainbowarch 2012-03-09 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
What did you use to dig?

[Hopefully not those little brightly colored plastic shovels for building sandcastles!]

A spade, of course. Though I was not allowed to handle it myself.

[Zelda was always relegated to the less labor-intensive tasks back when she lived in the palace. She was certainly never allowed near objects that she could possibly lose control of and smack herself in the head with! She puts in the seed and covers it carefully, then sings the Song of Storms. Without the harp, it only calls a tiny bit of mist over the plant, but it still causes it to sprout up just the tiniest bit.]

[Cielo was about to ask why Zelda wasn't allowed to use a spade, but then she starts singing and...oh, she has a very pretty voice. What a pretty melody!

...and yeah, don't mind him, he's just going to be amazed. Amazed at Zelda's singing, at the mist, and at the sprout.]

[Zelda had seen Link use the song in this way when she watched over him as Sheik. She's aware it's a little strange, but she didn't expect them to both just stop what they were doing. She looks over to them, embarrassed.]

I, ah, did not mean it to be a distraction... it just helps the plant get a good start.
rainbowarch: (☈ - I got your back)

[personal profile] rainbowarch 2012-03-09 06:33 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's quite all right, Zelda; they're just very affected by beautiful singing, that's all. Cielo blinks when she stops.]

Oh, it's no problem at all, ja? I liked it a lot.

[He got to hear lovely singing and saw a plant sprout today!]
zelda_hylia: (Adoration)

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-03-09 10:38 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm glad you liked it. It seems sad that you've heard so little music, though. Hyrule has many songs. I would be happy to teach them to you.

[She holds out the mug to Serph so he can look at the tiny sprout. It's just the beginnings of a proper plant, its first tiny little leaf isn't even unfurled yet.]
rainbowarch: (☈ - Nope)

[personal profile] rainbowarch 2012-03-09 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Really?

[He'd like to learn some songs! Worry not, he's got more musical talent than his tone deaf leader.]

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-03-11 12:55 am (UTC)(link)
Very well, then. Let's learn the Song of Storms while we're planting, shall we? Just turn off the Song of Healing, it will be easier to memorize a new song if we don't have another one playing.

[She motions for them to begin pouring the soil into the mugs again, singing the lyrics this time instead of just humming the tune somewhat indistinctly.]


Sing a sweet melody
Then everybody will see
Thunder rain and wind
The song of storms begins
From the sky to the ground
Rain is falling all around
The time of the storm has come

In a time of despair
Shadows singing in the air
Telling of a time when the sun would shine
Thunderclaps resonate
Lightning flickers like a flame
Singing out a song of storms

[Cielo manages to not just stop everything and listen and fill more mugs with soil, careful to not pat the dirt down too much.

He likes this song. The melody is very different from what he usually hears around the bubble, and the lyrics are lovely. He especially likes the parts about thunder and lightning.]

[personal profile] zelda_hylia 2012-03-11 08:34 pm (UTC)(link)
[Being a character from a Zelda game very patient person, Zelda has no trouble repeating the song for them to hear throughout the planting process. It seems to encourage plant growth and causes most of the seeds to become tiny seedlings. Her dress is soaked by the time they've made it through a few more mugs, though. Even the small amount of mist accumulates if she keeps repeating the song.]

Ah, this is... wetter than I had expected.
rainbowarch: (☈ - Fanfiction what's that?)

[personal profile] rainbowarch 2012-03-11 11:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[Cielo listens carefully every time Zelda sings as he works, and before long, he has the words memorized. He refrains from singing along with her - it just doesn't feel right because he knows that he can't possibly that good.]

Will that be a problem?

[The plants aren't in danger of drowning, are they?]
