VIDEO ┼ we kissed as though nothing could fall

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Somebody's clearly drunk, high, or both. For a second the video is portrait, then landscape, then all over the place as she drops her phone with a hissed 'Fuckshitfuck--' Eventually it rights herself and a somewhat disheveled, somehow dressed in a clean shirt Luci appears.]

So-- I know fuckall about plants, who here knows things about plants. And gardening. I need to figure out how to not kill a plant. Ideally several plants.

And any recommendations on somebody who builds greenhouses. I almost went out and bought a truckload of glass, but ironically I seem to also know fuckall about building literal glass houses. [For some reason, this is funny and she chuckles.]

[The video continues for a minute, like she's forgotten it's rolling. The laugh is gone, the performance is gone, and she looks almost... gray, for a moment. And when she does remember--]

I wouldn't be able to just... cart a mound of dirt into the church and fill it, would I? Take everything out, blow out the windows. Post-humanity indoor jungle style. Wouldn't that be something? [She grins and this time remembers to cut the feed.]

Why a church?

Voice

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Not just a church, it's my church. I can fill it with dirt if I damn well please.

[exceptionalthief]

You could certainly. But why? Are you looking for religious significance through botany?

I'm no green thumb but I know a bit thanks to my parents.

Planted an orchard here after F-- well I planted an orchard, anyway, and it's not dead yet so I did something right.

[Yeah, Poe knows what this is about. And she knows where this is probably going to go.]

Did it help?

Private.

[flightforfreedom]

I mean, it gave me something to focus on and throw myself into.

Not sure I could honestly say it helped, since half the time I see it these days and want to burn it to the ground, but. It did something, probably.

Um...

[ Her voice is small at first, unsure whether she should say something when this person is clearly inebriated. ]

What are you trying to plant? Different plants require different care.

[ Hi, Luci. It's one of the formerly brainwashed Shamtheon members, looking at Luci sheepishly. She's fairly certain this Pantheon member showed up and attacked Keith at their concert. ]

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[Yes, this Pantheon member did in fact show up at their concert and did cause a scene. Keith sent her packing though, tail between her legs with several injuries. But as easy as it would be to blame all of Woden's bullshit on everyone involved, she's dealing with bigger things at the moment.]

I don't know. Something nice. Maybe something with pink flowers. Vines.

[girlybruiser]

[ She hums, thinking about the sort of pink flowers that might be nice to plant. ]

Azaleas? [ Or carnations? She can think of many. ] I have something of a green thumb myself, therefore I wouldn't mind helping out with planting flowers.

[fridgeflower]

I don't see why you couldn't fill your church with plants. It's yours, after all.

And those post-humanity prediction shows are oddly comforting. I bet it'd be a pretty setup.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

It's a lot of concrete to fight. Plus it wouldn't grow as fast as I'd like it to, unless you know somebody...?

[fridgeflower]

I did meet a plant boy recently, but I don't know that he controls their growth. It may be limited to just himself.

There's always putting out another call, I suppose.

Whatever you're on, I want some.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Coke and...? [She pulls a bottle over.] Yeah still gin. Come on over.

[Random person she doesn't know...]

[killtime]

What, not worried I might be a random serial killer or something?

[facilitainted]

If you're trying to keep a plant alive, blowing out the windows is the last thing you want to do.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Howso? Last I checked these things need sunlight, and this place is a mess of concrete and stained glass windows.

[facilitainted]

Just take the whole roof off, you'll get more light that way.

I helped out with a strawberry field when Demeter's kids needed extra hands? And I know a lot of medicinal plants...I might know...something.

[Because that's promising.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Demeter's kids?

[First things first, of course.]

[pocketfulof]

Oh uh. Demeter, goddess of grain? Back where I'm from I live at a camp for demigods.

[cassassin]

[ welp. hi luci. cass... isn't going to comment on the state she's in right now. better not to, probably. this is the first she's seen of luci since hearing the news, and she can't say she's that surprised. anyway, she's been avoiding her almost two months, so why would laura leaving change things?

really, there's a lot of unaddressed awkwardness here. not even the woden-influenced thing, though there's also that. but it all keeps coming back to laura fucking wilson, doesn't it. ]

Wouldn't work. I think. Soil types? [ a vague gesture. ] I, um. Do some gardening.

[stylistic_disloyalty]

[There is a lot of awkwardness, but for Luci it mostly revolves around the Woden thing. She's been willing to meet Cass halfway, getting kicked around a bit hadn't changed that, but they'd never really said anything after the fact. That made it a little awkward, given Luci is still expecting an apology.]

[She smokes into the lens.]

I know fuckall about soil types too, what does that even mean?

[knaval]

Fill! It! Up! Fill it up!

[it's not clear if he's just ignoring the meaning behind this video, doesn't care, or just isn't acknowledging it.]

I'll help! I can take some of the roof off for them to get sunlight for you. For free. It's fun!

[stylistic_disloyalty]

Hey if there's any roof to raze, I've got dibs. My house, my rules mate.

But you could help, I suppose.
