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.

Re: Please hold

I have no idea...

... I can't say I don't share your feelings.

Slowpoke is looking up at you with his slowpoke eyes.

And now

He is

Nibbling your foot.

Then I shall provide my aid as soon as you need new plants to flourish.

Well we'd better find out! Where's that security guy? Mr. Hyde! We'd better get him on the case!

I'll pay for repairing the greenhouse. I'll come by and check out the damage.

[natureprincess]

I'll be alright.

[She certainly looks a lot better than she did earlier in the day. Scoop scoop.]

Re: THIS IS SOME SORT OF AN ACTION LOG

[natureprincess]

Blink blink.

She's kneeling down next to him.

"...Where did you come from?"

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

...Miss Erika. You need any help?

Re: THIS IS SOME SORT OF AN ACTION LOG

Slowpoke cannot speak. He can only, now, nibble your hand.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

Here, let me help.

[Fumble fumble.]

[natureprincess]

Thank you, Bob.

Erika will attempt to free her hand so she can pat him on the head.

Re: Please hold

[natureprincess]

A fine idea.

Oh, no, I couldn't possibly let you pay for it...!

[natureprincess]

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

[natureprincess]

Mm.

[She's going to go grab some not-broken pots and bring them over.]

Thank you, Brock.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

I'll be there as fast as I can.

The guy who did it ain't gonna get away with it.

[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.

[bestsweater.livejournal.com]

[Luckily Brock loves dirt.]

We can use this as an excuse to renovate.

[natureprincess]

Mm...

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

[natureprincess]

..Thank you.

[She just won't comment on that second part.]

[sicklypriest.livejournal.com]

That's good to hear.

Since everyone seems so willing to pitch in, you wouldn't mind if I joined the relief effort too, would you?

[natureprincess]

[A somewhat bitter laugh.]

That's true. And for better reason now.

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

[Doooop he shows up. He became baffled at the amount of damage.]

Jeez...

[With only saying that, he went straight into cleaning up some of the yanked out plants. As much of a plant lover he knows Erika is, he can almost imagine how she must be feeling. He has the most serious yet sincere look on his face.]

[natureprincess]

Of course I wouldn't.

It was after you left crying ;___;

I'm so sorry for your lost, miss Erika. I promise that I will be at the Greenhouse at a later time today. We can replant things.
