✿ Chapter 011. [Audio] (Day 142)

[burntviolet]

Good morning, Asgard. To the new entries of this period, my name is Hanako Ikezawa and I'm from Sigyn.

[ Hanako doesn't sound too cheerful, but she feels way better than the wreck she used to be a few days ago. Even so, it's still gratingly different than her previous post in which she even used the video feature, a rare occurence, courtesy of her great mood.

There's the light patting noise of rain hitting the window of her room. ]

After the happenings of over a week ago, I was thinking of replanting some trees and flowers in Gefion park. I could do it by myself with my powers, but if you'd like to contribute, please don't hesitate coming over. I'll be there tomorrow for the whole afternoon.

[ Pausing for a moment. ] To Euri-san, and everyone else who was interested... As for the Nightlight club's first meeting... I was thinking to set it the day after tomorrow, in the Tea Room at the Library, 3 PM at the earliest. I'm sorry for the stunning delay, but the recent happenings heavily influenced it. I hope the meeting will be culturally fruitful.

Thank you for your time.

[ After that... last piece of booksmart wording, she shuts the feed off. ]

It was a lot of fun when everyone planted the flowers a while back. It's a shame we have to do it again so quickly, but I'd be glad to help.

[ Karu sounds worse and worse as time goes on, but even then it's easy to hear the good intentions. ]

I can help again, Hanako... tomorrow?

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

The day after tomorrow sounds good. And I'll definitely help you replant some things tomorrow!

[retrospect]

[ Ah, ok, the moment he's waited for! Using audio as to not scare her off. ]

Hey -- Hanako, can you grow things?

[classicuriosity]

[Oh, Gefion? That's just the next district over.] I'd like to assist, if you don't mind.

Incidentally, may I ask what the Nightlight club is about?

[burntviolet]

I don't expect it to be as big as what I organized the other month, but at least I'd like to keep up with the park's maintenance. Thank you for offering.

[burntviolet]

Yes, tomorrow.

[ The... tone concerns her instantly. ]

Mirel-san, are you alright?

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

I'm glad to hear that, Euri-san. I hope I'm not clashing with anyone else's schedule...

[burntviolet]

Yes... My power is Growth, which allows me to grow plants and the like.

[burntviolet]

I surely won't mind, Chitanda-san. Thank you for offering.

[ Ah... ] The club is centered on the Nightlight series of novels. I suppose you haven't read them yet?

[saving_sound]

They got washed away again, didn't they...

I can help, too!

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

If people don't have anything important planned they can always shuffle things around. Replanting what was destroyed is important!

audio;

[retrospect]

I realize how random this is, but! If I showed you a picture of a special plant from my world, do you think you could grow it for me?

[ Maybe a small one is all he needs. ]

My name's the Once-ler. A little birdie told me about this "growth" stuff, so I hope I'm not imposing.

[superfiber]

What's Nightlight?

[Just idle curiosity...]

[Audio]

[burntviolet]

You're right, even though it depends on their priorities- and I was also talking about the [ almost estabilished ] members of the club.

[burntviolet]

[ There will be some pause on her end. Then, she briefly replies. ]

I could try... what plant is it?

[burntviolet]

They were mostly destroyed in the attacks.

Thank you so much, Hibiki-san.

[burntviolet]

[ That's ok, she gets asked that pretty often. ]

It's a series of fantasy novels I found myself to appreciate, so I decided to make a club of it.

[survived]

I don't know how much I'll be able to do to help, but I have the day off tomorrow so I'll try to make time for it.

[Audio]

[occulthymns]

The club is important, too! Like you said, it should be culturally fruitful and all that.

audio

[burntviolet]

Even a hour of your time would be more than sufficient, Shion-kun. Thank you kindly.

[survived]

It seems like a lot of people are interested. What types of flowers were you thinking of planting?

[OH BOY, PHYSICAL LABOR!]

[classicuriosity]

[oh no] I'm afraid I haven't even heard of such a title until now, but maybe that will change soon enough!

[saving_sound]

It's no problem! And besides, the more people who help, the sooner we can get everything replanted right?

[burntviolet]

Yes. Though like I said, I could have done this by myself with my powers alone- however... it doesn't feel right, after all we've done together.
