♠ THE GARDENER'S COMING TO COLLECT → { five }
[VOICE // PUBLIC // JAPANESE]
[she sounds a little stuffy; having gone outside for so long in her thin loli garb, she's probably caught a cold]
Is it safe to assume we all have received these plants?
[SWITCH TO VIDEO]
[You can see a bit of Chidori before the communicator focuses on the tree: a fairly normal looking sweater, which, for anyone who knows her, looks bizarre on the Lolita-wearing girl; and, yes, Souma, there's a glimpse of that bracelet you gave her tied around her wrist, peeking just out from her sleeve. Surprise surprise.
The plant's about a couple feet tall, so far; sprouting from it are clusters of little pink flowers with yellow stamens. As for fruit, pomegranate fruits are starting to bulge out, not quite reaching their proper shape but getting there. The plant's still a little weak looking--its branches look strained from holding such heavy fruit--but rather than collapsing, it's still fighting to stay upright. And then, her voice (still nasally), after a cough:]
Are they all like this?
(OOC: For anyone curious: The flowers are eglantine roses, meaning I wound to heal. The pomegranate fruit "was often used as a herbal remedy to lengthen life and restore vigor," and "these qualities often made it a symbolic link between the living and the dead." You could also connect it back to the Persephone myth if you really want to stretch it--Chidori being abducted by SEES and all--but....very very loosely, orz)
