[the video shows a white rabbit wearing a sunhat with holes that her long ears slip easily into. she's got a bit of dirt smudged on her face, and in the background is a wooden exterior of a shed. there are some saplings behind her too.]

You know, if I was born a large carnivore instead of a small herbivore, I think I'd have started up some kind of brothel here...probably would have made good money in a place like this.

[that. sure is a way to get attention!]

Anyway, I'm only a small carnivore here some of the time, and there already seem to be plenty of those kinds of places. Ever since I arrived here and when the weather started getting nicer, I noticed that we were missing something...

[Haru swaps the camera to face forward, and pans a bit, showing off a relatively sparse, fenced-in lot with a good amount of raised plots of soil and flower beds already started. after a moment of showing off, she switches it back to herself.]

So! I've started up a community garden for...mostly myself honestly, but it's open for anyone else to sign up and use. I was setting up all day yesterday, and it's kind of been slow going. In highschool I managed the gardening club all on my own so I can do this by myself, but if anyone wants to stop by and help I'll treat you to some lunch! I know it's Sanguis right now, so plenty of you are stronger than usual... [she brings her free hand up to rub under her nose, smudging more dirt on her face as she mumbles:] you could probably put that to good use.

Anyway, feel free to stop by, even if it's just to sign up for your own plot of land. If nobody signs up then it's not too bad...it just means more space for me to grow my babies.

[attached to this post is the address, where the community garden is located on a once-vacant lot in Lunatia, Level 2. a sign up sheet is posted on the front door of the shed, and anyone is free to stop by and do their own thing at the gardens for the month of May.]

I might take you up on that. It's a calming hobby, tending to plants.

[ Just very zen. A good way to not worry about other things. ]

Hmm, interesting. I'm new here, so I'm still learning a lot about how this place works.

You should definitely keep it in mind! Sign ups are available all year round, after all.

[hint hint!]

I've been here for a few months, and I still don't know how this place works. So don't sweat it!

[ he laughs a little at her comment, that's sweet ]

I guess I'm in good company. I'm Eiji, by the way.

[the most important rule she lives by is not overthinking or sweating the small stuff.

even if she does...fall prey to that sometimes.]

I'm Haru! It's good to meet you, Eiji. This is probably going to be one of the more normal things here...things tend to get a bit weird the longer you're here.

[ fall prey....im........ ]

It's nice to meet you too, Haru. I'm guessing that's going to be the case. At least your garden will be that little bit of normalcy.

What's the weirdest thing you've seen, so far?

[ He asks, of a bunny girl. ]

[ Look, no one else has done it so he's gonna have to. He'd heard about there being animal-people but. Woah. ]

...You're a rabbit.

[ So perceptive. ]

Is that like, rude to say? Sorry. Shit.

[ Give him a second. He's trying not to stare now. ]

Sounds like you really like gardening, huh?

[ Nailed it. ]

[(｡◕‿‿◕｡)]

Exactly. I felt my best when I was gardening in the gardening club. Not that being here is bad, but it'll be nice to have a space like this to come to.

[maybe she should set up a bed in this garden's shed too...hmm.......
nah, maybe not at a place like this. it was different when it was only her in the club.]

Hm... [chin-in-hand...getting more dirt on her white fur.] Kind of hard to choose the weirdest. A statue coming to life and crying enough tears to drown you is something that sticks out, though.

[she's used to this by now, but even then there's a bit of a...sigh. not an annoyed one, but just.

ah.]

About as rude as it would be to say that you're a human. My name's Haru.

[just!! to put that out there so she isn't known as 'rabbit girl'.]

But yes, I really like gardening. I'm studying botany in college back home.

[ Deadpan :| at her ]

I'm not.

I'm a sheep.

[ pause then -- ]

Not a word.

["not a word," he says, as though what she's staring at isn't absolutely ridiculous.]

Or what, you'll headbutt me? You look like you've been put through a dryer, Louis.

[...]

Th-the horns are nice.

[trying. not to laugh./small>]

Sorry. Yeah.

[ He's awkward. Especially around girls. I'm so sorry. ]

My, uh, my name's Shogo. I should have led with that.

[ He can be awkward dude.... he'd deserve it. But at least gardening is a totally normal topic that he can segue to. ]

That's cool. Like, the science kind of botany, or like agriculture?

Probably.

[she doesn't look particularly put off, more amused if anything. she's used to awkward guys, but she's also used to speaking her mind too.]

I'm only a first year student at college, so we're starting out with basic science and taxonomy. But when I graduate I'm hoping to open a store where I sell all sorts of plants, so I'm more interested in actually growing and selling them.

I don't think I'm cut to be a scientist.

This is such a wonderful idea. I've been wanting a bigger place to garden and this is perfect. Thank you for this.

[ She'll certainly have to stop by after she's no longer dealing with Sanguis prolems. ]

[ Bless her. ]

Still, that's really cool that you're studying for it and everything. Getting into a university for that in the first place is a big deal.

[ Especially in Japan. Which is his only point of reference. He's just very proud. ]

You should do whatever you want to do. You can't know you're not cut out for it until you try, right?

[Ana's world would be so confusing to so many people...]

I don't see anything wrong with that! Sometimes old fashioned is the best way.

In any case I do know I can get things from home with that special shop so I may eventually see about getting some Tyria-specific seeds. Most of what I've seen here is the same or very close to what I'm used to but I can think of a few that are unique to home. Luckily I think the only thing that grows big is one of the jungle plants so I would only get one of those.

I'll be keeping an eye out! There's plenty of space to go around.

It'll be great to see what everyone winds up growing.

15 hours?

Well, between getting the license and setting the place up yesterday...
Hmm....maybe it was more like 16.

I'm hard to miss seeing as I'm very pink.

This is kind of perfectly timed because I was unsure what I was going to do with the roses I've been growing.

You're gonna need some more help.

You are putting yourself in a garden.

( LIKE ALL HIS RABBITS BACK HOME. )

What a coincidence because I AM looking for volunteers to help me this week..........

I'm starting a garden, not putting myself in one.

[hm she thinks she recognizes this username......]

[oh! A rabbit! A...rabbit-rabbit and not a rabbit-because-of-moon rabbit? She’s fairly sure she’s seen some like her around, so Yuri isn’t about to draw attention to that right now. Surely Haru already gets more than enough of that without Yuri adding to it.]

That sounds interesting. I never really took care of a garden before. The one back home was mostly taken care of by my mentor... Is it hard?

I will bring our rabbit to visit.
