0140: Replanting

[livingmyths]

I'll be up on the roof of the Library planting more flowers if anyone's looking for me or wants to help. I'm mixing in some of the ashes from the destroyed books so they'll kind of still be here at the Library.

Also, Mr. Stark, I came by over the weekend, but you... weren't yourself so I just sort of decided I wouldn't stay. I'm sorry. I'll make up the time later if that's okay.

Well... I suppose I could come for a bit...


[ooc: What exactly would this entail?]

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

Oh, it'll be fun, Rain. I've been here for days already.

[ooc: http://community.livejournal.com/poly_tldr/1678312.html#cutid1 that's the general idea, so however you want to work it.]

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Days? Well, I can't spend days, but I could maybe come visit.

[ooc: Okay. :) ]

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

I think you'll love it.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

All right then. I'll come play. Where are you?

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

We're on the far side of the mountain.

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Okay. I'll be there in a little while.

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

I'll see you then.

Action?

Rain made her way to where Arkady had said she was, wondering what the other girl was digging that was so much fun.

Action

There were a few pieces of the object starting to be uncovered, but Arkady laid in wait closer to where she could sense Rain's approach.

Part of her knew this was wrong, this what what got Luke and Mark in so much trouble, but the strange voice inside her head was stronger. It wanted more people, needed more people and Arkady's gifts were an excellent way to get them.

She moved to a small clearing to watch Rain approach, ready to reach out in whatever way necessary.

[ooc: Would you prefer Arkady to physically restrain Rain, or mentally/telepathically control her?]

Re: Action

Rain smiled as she saw Arkady. "Hello. Are you still digging?"


[ooc: Oh, let's do mentally/telepathically for greatest distress to Rain. ;) ]

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

"All day." There was something else she should add. Something to make Rain comfortable while the thing inside Arkady prepared to strike.

Oh, yes... "There are pretty animals, want to see?"

Re: Action

Rain's eyes widened. "Oh yes, I'd like that!"

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

Arkady skipped off towards the dig site, leading Rain farther and farther off the path.

Re: Action

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Rain followed willingly, wondering what sort of animals there were and whether they would be friendly enough to be touched.

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

After a short while, Rain cold probably hear the sounds of people digging and speaking, although the actual words are still to far away to be made out. Arkady simply kept moving, turning only to give Rain a dazzling smile.

Re: Action

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Rain smiled back. "Are the animals near the people digging?" she asked curiously.

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

Were the... oh right, animals.

"...Yes. Yes they are. We're digging... homes for them. Secret home for them so they can be safe from hunters and people. Since I know you like animals I thought you would like to see."

Re: Action

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"Are they in danger?" Rain asked. Her face looked concerned. She hated to think of animals in danger.

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

"Yes, yes they are. That's why the digging is so important. There's a place they can hide, a place they can call home but its buried deep."

They came upon the dig site, people covered in dirt digging with hands, shovels, powers, anything they had.

"But I'm tired, so it's your turn to dig now."

Re: Action

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Rain frowned, looking confused. "But where are the animals? And there are so many people digging.. I don't understand."

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

"I'm sorry. I really am." Arkady was, the slug wasn't.

"I kinda lied. There are no animals. Well... there might be, but they've all gone to hide."

Re: Action

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

Rain looked confused. "I don't understand."

Re: Action

[have-a-job-too.livejournal.com]

"Look at all this." Her arm motions to the dig site. "It's too big, we need more diggers. That means you."

Re: Action

[livingmyths.livejournal.com]

"But why?" Rain said. "What are you digging?"
