002 ~*~ Sprucing things up a little

[not_so_great_wall]

Flandre was right: the houses all look the same and it's rather dull. She's used to living somewhere that stands out from the rest of the world, so it was time to make this place a little more like home!

[Action : Johnathon's Tools]
[ Meiling is just picking up a 'few' supplies for her home landscaping projects. Hoes, spades, buckets, etc. You would think she couldn't carry this all by herself, but she's stronger than she looks. Just... don't be behind her when she turns around or you just might get a face full of a shovel or a rake!

Poke her? Help her shop? Wonder why the shopkeeper is giving her the cold shoulder after noticing the star on her hat,? ]

[Action : 340 Brady Lane]
[ In front of the house, Meiling is busy laying some stone for a new pathway, boxes for flowers, new wooden borders for the bushes, and in general working hard at tearing up the yard. (She already napped at work, hence all the energy!) She's wearing a pair of overalls, heavy gloves, a plaid shirt, and enough dirt to need three showers later.

Bother her? Help out? She'll be at this for a few days. Weekend taggers have the added chance of catching her taking a rest at midday~ ]

[Red hair. Blue eyes. At least THAT was familiar for Cain since it was the common look for people from Valhalla.

And thankfully he was paranoid or else he wouldn't have had the sense to duck beneath that rake.]

Whoa there.

[not_so_great_wall]

Hm? [ She turns left, swinging the tool again, and then finally spins right around. ] Oh, sorry! I didn't see you there. [ Hard to miss someone that tall, though. He must be quite nimble! ]

[hideandhero.livejournal.com]

No problem. You wouldn't have needed to apologize in the first place.

[not_so_great_wall]

Are you here looking for tools, too? [ She smiles up at him. Why else would someone be in a hardware store, Meiling? ]

[ the torn-up yard catches her attention. ]

You are building a garden?

[not_so_great_wall]

Oh, hello! [ Meiling sticks her shovel into the ground and wipes some dirt off of her forehead with the back of her glove ... though it's not very effective. ] Yes, I am!

[onlybrother.livejournal.com]

How interesting.

-Patchy is supervising.

And by supervising, we mean sipping tea and reading a book on the porch.-

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling knew better than to invite Patchy to help with the manual labor. She just pauses to wave over to her when she notices a gaze in her direction; if that even happens. ]

How is it coming along so far?

[Naturally, Holland notices a cute girl carrying gardening tools immediately. Though it might have had more to do with the shovel poking into his ribs, he doesn't hesitate to talk to her. After all, he was shopping for the same reason, carrying a garden hose over his shoulder and a small shopping basket full of trowels and other hand tools.]

They have baskets.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling pauses in reaching for some nails that were in a box high up - she's not short, but she's too busy to grab a stepladder. ] Hm? They do?

[vertulpen.livejournal.com]

They do.

[He effortlessly takes the nails off the shelf, being the very tall guy that he was.]

Perfect for things like this.

[He gives the box a little shake, nails rattling inside.]

[Them's eyes on you, Meiling. And a few curious chirps.

Flandre is rather intently watching this tearing-up-the-yard business, yes.]

Meiling is all dirty!

[not_so_great_wall]

Just a little~ [ She says with a hum, now on her knees and digging up the area around the bushes so she can set in the flat stone border pieces. ]

[there-were-none.livejournal.com]

[Another curious burble as Flandre flops her chin down on the railing around the porch, where her hands are.]

Is Meiling gardening?

*Alice had actually sought out Meiling. Something like this was actually pretty unusual for her but she was feeling a bit of guilt about earlier. So she had decided to come speak with the Gatekeeper.*

... Excuse me?

[not_so_great_wall]

[ Meiling looks up, a brief flicker of surprise on her face, but then smiling away as she sets down her spade. ] Oh, hi there! How are you feeling?

[hangedhourai.livejournal.com]

Fine.

*Alice was quick to brush her own condition off. Not that it was a lie, it hadn't taken long for Alice to recover at all. But that wasn't why she had came.*

... Are you well?

[Walking out of the house, he catches Meiling resting around midday. He stops on the porch, out of the sun, and calls out.]

Now, the yard isn't going to stop being a bloody eyesore all on its own.

[ This human body stores a lot less energy than she's used to. She's sitting on the ground, her back against the post of the mailbox, and her cap is pulled down over her eyes.

Zzzzzz. ]

[karma-houdini.livejournal.com]

[One of those types hmmm?]

Come on. Get up. Chop chop. [He claps.]

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

[Walking by and oh-]

You're the weirdo from earlier.

[not_so_great_wall]

--huh? [ Meiling pauses in digging up rocks and looks over to the gate. ] Oh, hi there!

[artwithknives.livejournal.com]

...yeah, hi. What the heck are you doing?
