[He isn't seen on the journal's window - instead there is a view of the back of the Welcome Center. He finally speaks quietly after a moment of silence]

The ebb and flow of people coming and going is quite interesting, isn't it? I hope everyone is settling in well. The New Feather cycle is almost to an end. If anyone needs anything, the Welcome Center is always open.

ACTION
[Having discovered Tetsu's disappearance, Okita is out back behind the Welcome Center. He's crouched down with a wooden sword lying next to him, looking at a small garden he's hidden just a bit away from the Center. It has some of the flowers that Sasuke had picked out before he disappeared planted and Okita has just finished raising a little makeshift tent to keep the snow off in case it snows again.]

-The crunching of snow is heard.-

Sir Okita, are you back here?

[He hears a noise behind him and pauses in his progress: repositioning a stick to better hold the little tarp up.]
Sasarai-san? Is that you?

[Reassured that it is who he thought, he goes back to working with the flower tent, pushing the stick further into the ground. He's a bit far back from the building, but he figures if he keeps talking, Sasarai will find him.]
How are you today? Anything interesting happen?

Never a dull day here. Something interesting is always happening and I've near given up on trying to keep up.

Say... what is it you've got there?

Yes, that does seem to be the way of things, hm? Heavy-san and Medic-san are in trouble, several people have been kidnapped, people have gone missing, people have been killed... it's difficult to keep track of it all.

And this? ...It's nothing much. Just something I promised someone a long time ago.

Hmm... it looks like a lot of care went into it.

He took some time in picking the flowers out.

[Okita sets up another stick, pushing it deep into the ground.]
I think he'd be sad to see them die... Do you like flowers, Sasarai-san?

I have a great fondness of them, yes. I had a garden maintained just outside my quarters at the One Temple in Harmonia.

Oh, did you? How lucky~

The men were so much more focused on training, but sometimes I watered the plants and such around the temple grounds. But no real garden to speak of.

[He pulls the tarp over that new stick and checks his progress. The flowers are mostly covered, but he still seems concerned.]

A comrade of mine once said that gardening was actually good for the warrior's soul. But I wouldn't know much about that.

Anything that I can help with?

It reminds us that the world is impermanent, or so they say.

[A corner of the tarp is tugged down a little lower and Okita turns his head away, coughing lightly.]
I think I just about have it. The snows will be coming soon and I just need to make sure these don't get buried. Do you have a better suggestion for how to protect them though? All I could think of is this.

Hmm... perhaps an enchantment would help in this case.

[action]

[identity profile] ahappylie.livejournal.com 2009-11-16 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
...What kind of enchantment?

[He turns around and peers up at Sasarai, obviously excited like a little kid.]
Sasarai-san can do magic? What kind of magic? Does it sparkle? This sounds fun~

Ah ha, well... let's see.

-He pulls off his right glove, the tattoo (http://gensopedia.duefiumi.com/images/9/9c/True_Earth_Rune.jpg) that was on his hand now glowing slightly. The gentle golden light travels from his hands to the flowers, washing over them almost protectively.-

[Fangirlboy sparkles are a go.]
That was... Amazing! You can make light from your hands!!

Ah, well, the light was just a byproduct of the spell at work. I used a bit of Earth magic to reinforce the plants.

That's so cool~

So will they be able to survive the winter now?

Thank you, Sasarai-san!

Sausuke-kun would be so pleased~

Ah ha, it's no trouble, really.

[identity profile] ahappylie.livejournal.com 2009-11-17 10:18 am (UTC)(link)
It's more than I can do~

[He turns around again, peering under the tarp at the plants before reaching out to tap his finger against one of the leaves.]
Grow up big and strong now~ So if he comes back, he can take care of you without much worry~

Well there ARE opportunities to learn magic here.

So I've heard, but I haven't been able to find any of those...spirit things. And I honestly wouldn't have a clue as to how to start.

Perhaps you could ask about? It wouldn't hurt to try, after all.
