219 // MGC-mingle // open to all!
[ It's the first ~~annual~~ ~~monthly~~ ~~bi-weekly~~ — it's the first Memorial Garden Committee meeting! The invitations have been sent, a couple of park benches in Sector 0 have been claimed and there's even a few plates of home-made cookies put out in case the allure of fast food on a stick wasn't enough. How can you resist? That's right, you can't!

The instigator to all this is pretty nervous but once the clock strikes noon he clears his throat and kicks off the meeting the only way he can. ]

Alright, so… some of all y'all might remember me talkin' 'bout puttin' together a Memorial Garden for all our friends who've disappeared a while back. Now, I know we already got some o' that stuff 'round here but this would be somethin' we'd create all on our own. We'd decide what t' plant in it an' tend to it an' pool our rehab points together to get seeds an' plants or whatever else we need.

There ain't no pressure to help out. We do what we can, alright? What we're good at. I'm happy to help anyone who don't know how t' grow things an' wants to learn, but th' important part is that we all get a chance to have a say in this. This is where this comes in. Just write down your ideas an' we'll gather it all up an' make sure everyone gets somethin' they want.

[ He gestures to a SUGGESTION BOX set out with a stack of paper and some pens for all your suggestive needs. ]

Alright... that's all I had t' say. You go on an' talk amongst yourselves an' have fun!

(ooc: Mingle! Socialize to your hearts content, whether you got an invitation to the meeting or not. Notifs are off but Aidan has a thread HERE if you want to hit him up specifically! Feel free to let your character leave serious ideas for the memorial garden (or just troll the hell out of it) in the suggestion box HERE ! ))

	I wasn't aware that there was a problem... but sure. I'm listenin'. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he stumbled, briefly, over his words. Why wouldn't watering be an issue? He's confounded. ] But how can you have a successful garden if you don't water it regularly? You do want this to be a success, don't you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-05-20 08:25 pm UTC (link)
	Yeah, of course I do... but it ain't like waterin' is hard. Any idiot can do it. [ Just a teeny bit offended here. He knows his stuff when it comes to plants! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Bak breathed a sigh of relief and moved straight on to the purpose of his little speech. ]</small. Any idiot can do it, which is why it's the perfect job for a machine. That should leave everyone else to do the weeding and the pruning. Would you like to see the prototype? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Man, I don't know... I mean, artificial waterin' is good if you got big fields but we're talkin' a garden here. Wouldn't we lose th' connection if we just leave it up to th' machines..? I mean, that's kind of what every other garden is here. It kinda... kills th' whole point of it if you ask me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he nods solemnly ] I do concede your point, but so long as we're taking care of every other aspect of the garden, this could just be considered insurance in case someone forgets or leaves the dome unexpectedly. [ he shakes his head ] It's not as though they print a list. [ much to his chagrin! ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-05-26 12:12 am UTC (link)
	Alright... yeah, I see what you mean. That ain't such a bad idea actually... kinda like a fail safe? [ You know he'll make a stop by that garden every day, but he could disappear just as easily as everyone else. ] Okay! Show me what you're thinkin'! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ urk, he left it back in the lab. ] I'm afraid I don't have it on me, but I could bring it by tomorrow if you're interested. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-03 11:54 pm UTC (link)
	[ Oop. Well then. ] Sure, I guess that works. Fair warnin' though, I ain't that good at technology or nothin' so there's a good chance it'll go in one ear and out th' other. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ he waved a hand ] No worries, it was designed for someone with similar handicaps. It'll operate perfectly fine on it's own! [ he nodded ] Tomorrow then, I'll have it ready! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-06-14 09:23 pm UTC (link)
	[ "Handicap." Why does that feel like an insult? Very true, but still. ] Sounds good! I, uh... I look forward to it! [ Smile! ] I should probably go check on th' others, but it's real good that you had a contribution! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	punching_bag 2013-06-23 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	[ Bak waved Aidan on ] Of course. Don't let me keep you; I have work of my own to finish. [ and indeed he does! So he'll just scoot on over to that laboratory of his and finish that up ] (Reply to this) (Parent)
