Something had not felt right that morning. The feeling had only increased when Erika had left her room. She associated the feeling with her apprehensions over Giovanni's presence, and paid it no mind at first. The feeling was suppressed until she crossed through the garden. No, something was wrong.

The crash from inside the green house sent her running.

Opening the door, she couldn't bring herself to bring her eyes from the floor. She didn't want to look up. Her fears were enough. The smell of loose potting soil was heavy in the air and shards of terra cotta were strewn near her feet. Erika took a few steps, gingerly reaching out and picking up the first plant that had been uprooted. "I'm sorry," she murmured, raising her gaze to the rest of the green house.

"I'm sorry."

----

… I do not know who was responsible for the events in the green house this morning. I have no idea what your intentions were or if you accomplished them. I cannot begin to express my disappointment in the lack of respect that was shown towards the efforts of your classmates and the life their efforts made bloom.

Your actions are a reflection of your character, and I can only presume you have the same amount of respect for yourself as you do the things you've destroyed. Regardless, it would be my hope that someday you'll be above petty actions and apologize to those whose time and hard work you've wasted. That way I know who you are so I can slip you poison.

…

… I'm salvaging what I can, but there are a good deal that were lost. I… apologize.

What happened to the greenhouse?

[natureprincess]

The.. ah...

It was vandalized rather horribly. The plants were uprooted and...

[Naval is at a loss of words as she reads this.

She rushes to the greenhouse to help]

[natureprincess]

[Is horribly appreciative. The piranha plants had been Erika's first priority, so Naval will find that they, at least, are alright.]

[rockinthrutime.livejournal.com]

...moles.

[natureprincess]

.... M-moles?

[leadthemalong.livejournal.com]

Yes, I saw what became of the greenhouse this morning... I can't believe it! Why would someone do such a thing?

I put a lot of effort into my contributions, but I'm willing to help replant.

[natureprincess]

Then why didn't you come in and help me hurf.

I have no idea...

Thank you.

[punchteamrocket.livejournal.com]

... ...

If you need an extra pair of hands... I'll do what I can.

[natureprincess]

Thank you, Red. It would be incredibly appreciated.

Did someone order a douchebag?

[ihateplumbers.livejournal.com]

Best laid plans, who could have foreseen this, keep a stiff upper lip, we shall overcome, if only we'd known -- and yet how could we.

You have my deepest condolences over the extreme loss of your fern collection, etc, etc, etc.

... You're ever so kind.

THIS IS SOME SORT OF AN ACTION LOG

[tank-rockarms.livejournal.com]

Somehow there is a slowpoke in your room. He is looking at you with his slowpoke eyes.

You have type advantage! Strike while you still can!!

Re: THIS IS SOME SORT OF AN ACTION LOG

[natureprincess]

Erika is staring at the slowpoke.

"H.. Hello?"

Please hold

[givemeyouranswerdo]

Re: Please hold

[givemeyouranswerdo]

SOMEONE TRASHED THE GREENHOUSE?!

WHO DID IT?! I NEED TO KNOW WHOSE ASS TO KICK!!

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[...This didn't strike Mac well at all. He read the other comments, too.]

...Miss Erika. You need any help?

[natureprincess]

... I would not be opposed to another pair of helping hands.

[sicklypriest.livejournal.com]

What a terrible thing to do...

Miss Erika, is there... anything I may be able to offer? I'd love to help. It doesn't do my heart well to know the poor greenhouse was wrecked in such a way.

[natureprincess]

Mm...

Anything at all would be helpful, really. Even if it was just a pack of seeds.

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

!!!

[monotreme-101.livejournal.com]

...a lot of those plants I brought from my home! Why would anyone want to do that?

[will-be-god.livejournal.com]

Disgusting. Such a deplorable act of needless destruction.

If it is discovered who has done such a terrible thing, I will make them pay dearly.

[natureprincess]

I just cannot comprehend what would lead them to do such a thing...

[thewunderkind]

...Are the Piranha Plants okay?!

[natureprincess]

They're fine. Just stressed. I moved them to my room until the green house is repaired, since it is much quieter there.

What's this? He actually cares? Madness

[geometricmagic.livejournal.com]

Why would anyone even...?!

Aww, Kamek.

[natureprincess]

... I wish I knew.

[snowypoison.livejournal.com]

[He read the other comments this time]

What?! I'll help too.

[snowypoison.livejournal.com]

They won't hurt me, will they?

[ohjeffums.livejournal.com]

I'll help, too!

[natureprincess]

Thank you.

[pitticus.livejournal.com]

And me! How could they...

[natureprincess]

I don't know... But thank you, Pit.

[brattykoopa.livejournal.com]

That's so sad. :(

Oh Wendy 8')

[natureprincess]

... It is very upsetting.

[fucbarrelrolls.livejournal.com]

[Fox didn't even respond to the journal entry. He just showed up at the greenhouse. Tools. Gloves. Seeds. Fertilizer. Splints. He was laden down with the first aid of plants, and new life. His face was pained and upset upon seeing the state of the greenhouse, and went quickly to find Erika.]

[natureprincess]

[And lo there was Erika, re-potting various plant #46.]

[orange-leader.livejournal.com]

Why would someone even do that?

I know you've already had plenty of offers, but if you need any more help, I'll be glad to.

[natureprincess]

I cannot begin to fathom why.

Every bit helps. I'd gladly take all that's offered.

[watermelon-yum.livejournal.com]

Wah! Somebody hurt the plants?? Enemy of fruit is enemy of Yoshi!

[natureprincess]

... They did, yes.

[2x4-of-justice.livejournal.com]

Vandals?

[natureprincess]

Unfortunately.

[umbreon-blacky.livejournal.com]

Who would stoop to destroying the greenhouse? This is most upsetting indeed. I'm going to have to go back to buying berries from the store now.

I also wish to help in whatever way I can.

[natureprincess]

I did not think that anyone with such low civility was here, but I've certainly been proven wrong again. Never fear, Blacky, they only take a few hours.

Thank you. Anything at all is more than I could ask for, even if its just a berry or some seeds.

[4x4-of-manly.livejournal.com]

What happened in the greenhouse? I can tell from reading the rest of these posts it got wrecked somehow, but... Who the hell would even Pig masks?

I'm not much for actual gardening, but if there's any shelves that need fixing I'll help out.

[natureprincess]

A majority of the plants were uprooted, as well as general damage to a large amount of the furnishings... It's somewhat cleaner now, but it was not a pretty sight.

There.. actually are a few shelves that were broken, if you'd be so kind.

[blondprodigy.livejournal.com]

Are the sunflowers okay?

[natureprincess]

For the most part, yes. Most of them were just toppled over.
