[ Guess who's trying really hard to ignore all the more aggressive posts on here. ]

Um.. H-Hi everyone! In case anyone doesn't know yet, I'm M.. Madoka Kaname, nice to meet you.. [ Is she looking more nervous than usually though? For sure. Although that's not because of the mood of the last posts as much as she's dying internally at the thought the whole train can hear and see her right now. ]

M-Maybe some of you might remember that a while ago mister Stark suggested we could put plants around the train.. I thought it'd be a good idea s-since it'd be good for both the air and just for making things look nice, so.. E.. Evie and I volunteered to work on it! But there's only two of us, so..

[ She sucks in a deep breath. You can do it, Madoka. You almost said your piece! ]

We.. could use some help, if anyone wants to help. The boxes all need to be p-put together, and the plants need to be taken care of in the l.. long run too. So I thought maybe we could start a gardening club.. I was part of a gardening club back home at school, so if you don't know what to do, I.. I can help you! But if people already know a lot about plants, it'd be g-great if they could help too..!

Um, of course it's voluntary, but.. i-it'll be fun. I think. And you can work together with Evie too then, and she's really pretty and smart and nice..! [ And, you know, Madoka is also pretty cute. But she apparently has no compliments for herself to spare here.

Also, her face is starting to turn the same colour as her hair by now. ]

I.. I think that's all..! T-Thank you so much for listening to me and I'm sorry for taking up your time-- ouch!

[ She was bowing to end the message politely, but instead just accidentally bumped her head in the process.

She's trying. ]

I’m sure we’ll have volunteers. And it’s be the best garden any train has ever seen.

[happyends]

Well, I don't think there are a lot of trains that have gardens.. [ But she seems to appreciate the sentiment all the same, since Madoka calms down a bit. Enough to giggle, anyway. ]

But we'll still do our best to make it pretty, right? It'll liven the train up so much.

[blueberryprincess]

No, there probably aren't, but we're going to do our best to make ours great.

I also think it'd be a lot of fun to see if we can barter for various kinds of seeds when we stop for missions.

Maybe bring some vegetables and fruits onto the train. What do you think?

[rieper]

Currently available: sesame seeds, bell peppers, chili peppers, limes, tomatoes, garlic, rosemary, onions, parsley, pumpkin, water chestnuts, green beans, broccoli, and ginger.

[blueberryprincess]

Where did you find all of these?

[rieper]

Tony Stark. And the kitchen.

I can't guarantee all of them will germinate.

[blueberryprincess]

We'll make due with what does work.

I was considering trying to barter the next time we stop for missions. Hopefully, the people we help have things we can use for healing salves and medical use.

[rieper]

A good idea. [He should have picked up some seeds last mission but he was looking for other items to pilfer when he wasn't busy killing the bad guys. Oh well.] Larger plants might prove hard to cultivate with the limited space, but smaller trees could be put into the rock garden in the same boxes as we currently have. For now. If we're here past their infancy, however, we would need better accommodations. [No one hope we're stuck here for years, please.]

[blueberryprincess]

We'll have to start taking notes and documenting what's been happening with the garden, so that those that are here after us will know what's going on.

[ She's betting against being here years and years and years later. ]

[rieper]

I'll leave that to you.

[blueberryprincess]

Fair enough. And thank you for everything you've mentioned. It's appreciated.

[ Count Madoka sufficiently impressed by that sudden list there.. at least it'll make it a lot easier to plan what they could plant? ]

Ah.. Yes, that sounds good! [ She's trying to snap herself out of her amazement by shaking her head. ] After all, we really go to all sorts of worlds, right? Maybe we could find edible things to plant that we've never heard about before. We'll just have to make sure it's safe before we do so.

[ Not that Madoka is calling some people on the train idiotic enough to just try to eat something unfamiliar..

.. but she worries anyway. ]
