7 - Better late then never

[This morning, Mokuren found a letter addressed to her in the mail box. It had been crammed into the very back, and was dated sometime last month. The paper inside was blank, and you know what that means, but Mokuren, having never gotten her powers back except for the April Fool's incident, which had come on a single card with a kiches mark on it, didn't know that a blank card was just potent as one which was clearly marked. Besides, she didn't feel any different after touching it. She was just as deaf to the plants and animals of Mayfield as ever.

By the time she got home from work that afternoon, she'd pretty much entirely forgotten the incident, and went about her regular business of tending her plants in and outside the house, and then she decided to practice singing passages from the Kisanado, since she'd been neglecting it in favor of secular music recently.

Thirty minutes later, her houseplants had almost covered every surface of 336 Brady Lane, the lawn outside was about three feet high and the garden had become dense as a jungle.]

[Basically, Mokuren has just regained her ability to make plants grow by singing, and she's just unconsciously made use of your powers. How does this affect you?

A. If you live within a two hundred meter radius of her, your lawn looks like the plains of the Serengetti, your garden is out of control, as are any plants you might be growing inside your house. If you don't have any plants in your house, your boots might have tracked seeds in there, and those will grow too, although not to gigantic proportions. Still, you might be annoyed to have to weed INSIDE YOUR HOUSE, prune ALL THE THINGS, and cut the grass with a scythe before before you can use your lawn mower.

B. If you live near 336 Brady Lane, but not within that radius, you got off lightly. Your plants might still be much bigger than they were before, but the farther away you get from ground zero, the less affected you are. You might get away with mowing the lawn and doing just a little bit of pruning.

C. If you're part-plant, and you're in the vicinity, you might feel compelled to sing.]

[ACTION:

1. If you're a member of the 336 Brady Lane household (so if you're Finland), you can find Mokuren weeding in the kitchen, dischevelled and upset.

2. If you're mad about the unwarranted intrusion of Nature in your daily life, you will be able to tell Mokuren's house is ground zero because that is where the vegetation is densest. You will find her using shears to cut grass in the front lawn which is nearly as tall as she is.]

i just want to... sing!, regains, weeding incident
