103. Heron [voice/action]

[corrinesbell]

[Sheena spent the past week making so many of these that not only is the front of the house (and her room) decorated with them, but she has piles of them to give away to anyone who's interested. She's planning to take some to a few people later.

Right now she's into her next project, though.]

Anybody know what kinda vegetables and stuff are good to plant in the summer? I guess I started kinda late...

[Yep - she finally started a garden, behind her house. Passers-by can and should gawk at a ninja in normal-looking work clothes, digging in the dirt.]

Oh, and, uh, I kinda made a lot of...decorations. Does anybody want one?

[a pause as she weighs the possible consequences of what she's about to ask, and then]

Where the heck did you find a spicy fruit?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

... The fruits themselves weren't spicy.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Oh. That makes a lot more sense.

Any chance you wanna keep up that energy and clean this place too?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

[Sorry, Sheena, Raine wasn't quite finished with that thought-] Though a fruit that's actually spicy... that would be an incredible discovery!

[A slight pause as she processes that Sheena was saying something else.] ... Hm?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

[an ancient spicy fruit might send her into hysterics. Better not mention it.]

Never mind. ...Do you want any of these hanging cranes?

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I suppose a couple couldn't hurt.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Well geez, you don't have to take any. They're just for decoration.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I didn't say that I didn't want any. Although I'm not quite sure where they would go...

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

You can hang them anywhere. There's about eight on a string, I think.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

Hm. Perhaps by a window?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

They're pretty colorful. So they'd probably look good by a window, yeah.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

That sounds like it would be nice.

Perhaps you could bring the rest to one of the shops? Someone might want to pick them up there.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

I wanna give my friends a chance to pick first.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

That sounds fair.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

It doesn't really seem like Albert's thing, though.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

He probably wouldn't mind one or two. [After all, there's still the painting binge she went on recently to contend with.]

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Really? He's always seemed like he wanted empty rooms.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

...'Empty'... rooms?

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Yeah. No extra furniture or papers all over the place or weird little knickknacks, or any of that stuff. Maybe a plant. But nothing he'd accidentally trip over or stuff that'd get in his way if he was doing...something. Not that I know what he does all day. Really intense thinking.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

He's not really one for clutter. Or he just hasn't found something suiting his taste.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

That's what I meant.

[Voice]

[wise_maiden]

I apologize. When I think of empty rooms, something else comes to mind.

[Voice]

[corrinesbell]

Oh.

Anyway, you can come over whenever and pick a couple.
