Greening up the Greenhouse

Who: Persephone (Open)
Where: Greenhouse mostly
When: Month Egret. Day 21
What: Perse has a bad morning and decides to be productive to make herself feel better
Warnings: None so far


OOC: Feel free to reply to any part of this, in the cabin or before she starts planting

She's spent longer on this train now than she'd been in Olympus. It doesn't really feel possible that it all happened in such a short time. It feels even less possible that she could be here months. Years? She stays curled up in her bunk that morning, staring at the wall. Crying maybe. A little. She's already had her birthday on here. What more is she missing at home? Nothing, because time doesn't move there like everyone said, or has Artemis been looking for her desperately. Would she have told her mom? Would Hades notice if she stoppped showing up to the internship?

Generally speaking, it's a bad morning. She drifts to a late breakfast and finally ends up in the greenhouse. There's a long moment where she wants to tear it all down. Her fists clench at the sight of her inane roses, her eyes fill red at the reminder that the greenhouse came with her arrival. She wants to break the walls, tear down the roses, claw up the burgeoning growth, destroy the smells and sights that remind her of her home, of her dreams. But she takes a deep breath. Hands relax, her eyes clear. Put into work. Wrath isn't helping anyone.


She sifts through the seeds, picking out ones for vegetables and fruits, leaving the ones for more decorative things to the side. Plenty of people have used this place for flowers. Herself included. Carefully, she trails one set of seeds in a thin line along the edge of a raised bed and covered them with soil. With a hand to the soil, she takes a deep breath and with a soft pink glow, plants curl up and out, unwinding leaves and blossoming. It continues until the blossoms fall and red strawberries hang fat and glistening. She picks one and holds it in her teeth as she stands to start the process all over.

Not at all.

[Trowa smiles at the thought of Quatre.]

I miss him, though.

"Indeed so! Although," she adds, "I do also like a good pickle or relish, especially in the winter months. And strawberries make for excellent jams."

"I've spent time with Hobbits," he said, sympathising.

"Oh, but, perhaps one or two?" he suggested. He flashed a grin at her. "Sorry, I like trees. They think so slow, unlike flowers who count their time in days, that they are very peaceful and calming to be around. Unless you are actually having a conversation with an Ent. They can try an elf's patience, they take so long to decide anything."

"You looked pretty gotten-to to me right there." And he was definitely getting to her. Without even trying, which was pretty weird. And actually a little annoying, since he actually kind of didn't want to. "Seriously, what's eating you?"

Taking a seat on the ground, Trowa laid the book he was holding in his lap. "A bit of both. I do miss him being here without him, but even back home we didn't get as much time to see each other as I wish we could have. He's a very powerful and influential person, whether or not he wants to be. And I'm a circus performer."

"Heh. Before I was here, I got stuck in Heaven, believe it or not. All sorts of people showing up from all over and getting stuck in the role of gods. If I'm speaking honestly, it's all pretty old hat by now."

He wouldn't admit, even to himself, that he missed the place a little. That wasn't permissible.

"Hm," He considered their options and the space. "Perhaps a dwarf cherry tree?"

[Apples in gardens are so overdone...]

He considers the light in the room. It is okay, but the light he bears is better for growing things. It should be fine to have a nice tree. Plus cherry blossoms were so lovely.

"There's a difference between being used to something and accepting that's how it is for the moment." No, Zetta was not used to being a book. He had time on his side there, of course; only a fraction of his life had been spent as one, even if it had been years now. But he lived the limitations every damn day.

A bit curious, he had his minion bring him closer so he could peer over at what she was doing. "Spring goddess, huh? That fits."

"Seems to me like you could whip up a pretty kickass spring in here. Small, but better than nothing, right?"

The idea of a god attending school didn't faze him at all. After all, Evil Academy took up an entire Netherworld of its own, didn't it?

"Sure it is! Who's stopping you?" The way she described it, he wanted to see it all the more! Who wants neat and orderly? "Or hell, come over to the garden car. That's mine, and I'll let you use it."
badassfreakingoverlord: (my point is made!)

"Look. No one's going to care. They like the rose thing you did, didn't they? Cut loose and bring some spring to the train, it needs it."

This was a pretty sissy argument for him to be making, in his opinion, but Zetta would argue that getting her to do her thing was purely selfish and greedy so it was okay for him to fake caring about others to convince her!

The book scowled. "Hmph. See, this is what I was saying about kicking the mood's ass. Sometimes you just gotta do something for you."
