[Action at 456 Stone st]

[If you happen to live on Stone st, or just pass by, you'll find Hungary muddied to the knees, garden gloves on and shovel hard at work. There is a pile of dirt on one side, and unplanted bulbs waiting their turn.]

Stupid jerk got himself droned for good. [She gives the shovel a swift, hard dig as she mutters] sticking me

Are you okay?

[muskatli]

Oh!

I'm perfectly fine. This garden's been destroyed too many times for my liking, that's all.

[has_no_plan]

It has?! By who?!

[muskatli]

People deciding my flowerbed was the perfect place for mud wrestling. [She scowls at first, then sighs. Both of Germany and Prussia are now gone, and while her garden was safe, it was still lonely.]

[has_no_plan]

[...That's something he might do on accident. Oh.

...But he'll go with....]

That's not very nice!

[muskatli]

It's not, is it? It gets very tedious, digging and replanting after a while.

It's only decent to take your top off when you do that sort of thing, and offer to help fix the damage.

[has_no_plan]

...Do you want help?

[He starts talking his top off.]

[muskatli]

...That's a very nice start.]

Sure... How strong is your grip?

[has_no_plan]

Um...strong enough...

[muskatli]

I think I believe you, but I'd like to see that. Maybe we can compare shovel power.

[has_no_plan]

You're on, lady!

[muskatli]

[She fishes around in the metal pile for an extra shovel, handing it to him expectantly.]

[has_no_plan]

[And he immediately starts digging out random bits of dirt with no apparent method to his madness.]
