In which an inquiry, and an apology, are made

[madhattersophie]

Anyone have any ideas, opinions or thoughts on growing flowers, or some kind of plant, on an airship? Maybe a small garden. They could even be used as scenery/props!

I've been missing having plants about.

I think that is a simply lovely idea! I used to have a garden before I joined the Way -- and we could grow all sorts of herbs and things that we could use for cooking and medicine too!

The only question is, where would we put the fertilizer? It has to be someplace that gets enough sun and won't be disturbed by the other crewmembers...

[madhattersophie]

Yes! And flowers make people happy, yes? Actually, we could even sell them to the audience so that they could throw them at the stage when the performance is over!

Surely there's an out-of-the-way place on deck where we could have a little garden? Or, like, a little balcony no one uses? Hm...

[happylittlesong]

There is an adorable little area by one of the windows in the galley that would be perfect -- although Watanuki might break if we spread fertilizer in there. (I know he apologized for overreacting to the spoons, but I do worry about him sometimes!)

Maybe someplace on deck? That certainly gets enough sun! Especially after the whale destroyed half of it. Maybe we could replace the debris with a garden?

[madhattersophie]

Yes, I think maybe it's best to not make Watanuki angry. I like eating food, after all.

The deck might be best. Lots of space, lots of sun. And we could even use some of the leftover debris to build little corrals for the pots and things, so they don't go sliding all over during a storm or something.

But only, of course, if we get the captain's okay first.

I've been growing sunflowers, if that's the sort of thing you're interested in. It's taken me a while to figure out the precise manner in which to keep them alive, but I think I finally have it down.

[madhattersophie]

Ooo, sunflowers might be nice. But don't they take up quite a bit of room? I may be working with limited space, if we can find any at all!

I was pretty good at keeping little plants alive back home. But I'll definitely ask for your help if I need it!

[sunflowersnguns]

I actually have a bunch of miniature sunflowers in a window box. They're just the right size for a cramped cabin.

Feel free!

It's fine. I don't like people messing up with my system. I do have it. Thanks for apologizing.

And stay as far away from my lab. I'll seriously sic Dummy and my other toys on you.

[madhattersophie]

I'll stay away, I'll stay away! Though Dummy is pretty cute when he's not dousing people. Some of the other toys too...
