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.

Why anybody do that?

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

I'll go take a look and see if there's anything I can do.

Re: Oh Wendy 8')

[natureprincess]

I regret to inform you that those are not for your consumption, Wendy.

I regret to inform you you're not the boss of me.

[natureprincess]

I'm afraid I don't know.

[natureprincess]

Thank you, Flint.

[natureprincess]

Regardless, they do not belong to you.

[brattykoopa.livejournal.com]

Oh, they will if I scream loud enough.

[natureprincess]

Oh! That would be incredibly useful. Thank you very much, Naval. I'll take good care of it.

[natureprincess]

Charming.

M-Ms. Erika, what happened!?

[natureprincess]

I am afraid that the green house was vandalized.

Re: Please hold

[givemeyouranswerdo]

All right, we can do that. But first things first... How bad is it? Is there ANYTHING we can salvage?

[sweetscentmint.livejournal.com]

Who could have done something like that...?

Do you need any help, Ms. Erika? I'll come right over.

[water-and-steel.livejournal.com]

Someone destroyed the garden? That's terrible. All that hard work gone to waste...

I'll help around as much as I can.

[And then Empoleon accidentally metal-claw'ed everything.]

Mmmm gay

[natureprincess]

[He'll get a grateful smile.]

It will. I know it will. It'll just take a little time.

Re: Please hold

[natureprincess]

It was, thankfully, not a complete loss. There were a number of plants that were, and possibly still are, salvageable.

Re: Mmmm gay

[boxingmidget.livejournal.com]

Maybe.

But looks like a lot of people are helpin'. It may be sooner then ya think.

Re: Mmmm gay

[natureprincess]

It's true. I didn't expect so many helping hands... The longest part just might be waiting for the plants to grow.

[natureprincess]

[She takes a moment to get fully composed then follows suit! She goes around picking up more pieces of pottery.]

[natureprincess]

I will welcome any help there is to be had.

[Fox knelt down on the other side of the plant, taking out a bag of fertilizer]

Here Ms. Erika, I'm not sure if you'll need it or not, but I brought some fertilizer. It's from my home; it'll help the damaged plants to recuperate, and might reduce our losses here.

[natureprincess]

It's incredibly disappointing.

Thank you.

[And then Erika kicked him out for doing more harm than good, but thanks him for the thought.]

The world drowns in its foolishness. That is what I seek to undo, but in the meantime it must be endured and fought against with all our might.

Um...is now a good time to tell you that I trained one of them to bark for food?
