002 ~*~ Sprucing things up a little

[notsogreatwall]

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

[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.

[notsogreatwall]

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]

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

[notsogreatwall]

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

[onlybrother]

[ the torn-up yard catches her attention. ]

You are building a garden?

[notsogreatwall]

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]

How interesting.

[notsogreatwall]

Do you think so? [ She looks out over her hard work mess. ] I just got started, and it's not as big as what I'm used to working with, but I doubt my neighbors would like me digging up their yards, too.

-Patchy is supervising.

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

[notsogreatwall]

[ 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. ]

[wizardoftheweek]

How is it coming along so far?

[notsogreatwall]

It'll be a while, but I think I'll have most of the dirty work done in the next couple of days. This weekend, you can bet I'll make lots of progress, though~

[vertulpen]

[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.

[notsogreatwall]

[ 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]

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.]

[notsogreatwall]

Oh, thanks for the advice, then! [ She reaches out her hand for the nails. ]

[there_were_none]

[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!

[notsogreatwall]

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]

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

Is Meiling gardening?

[notsogreatwall]

That's right! I want to make the yard look different than all the others.
