[Hey all, been a few months. You remember this guy. The shirtless guy with the giant mech. Well he's back. Clothed, this time. Though he might get more help if he were shirtless again, huh. Alas.
Raleigh is outside, sitting next to a planting bed, lush with vegetation. Like so much. It's a suspicious amount of plant life for Trench.
He smiles and waves. It's dark, but there are little torches all over so it's got a luau kind of vibe.
The camera pans so you can see the garden properly. It's two huge raised beds full to the brim on either side of the walkway to a huge, newly finished greenhouse . Lit from the inside, she looks something of a crystal palace.]
Do you all see this? This is the future.
I dunno about all of you but I'm sick to death of mushrooms.
[He pans through the veggies, all growing happily under warded netting. Lettuce, tomatoes, squash, beans, corn. Familiar for a lot of people. Very rarely seen in this world.]
Last month all my powers turned into plant stuff so I've been making and growing as much as I can. Things are hard here and the soil is awful, but it can be done.
[Raleigh moves towards the green house. Free range chickens dart around his feet as he goes, looking for food. He's the mama. Some of them are wearing little crochet hats. Inside the greenhouse is table after table after table of seedlings. The other side is all planting beds full of soil ready to go.]
I've been thinking about how important food is to all of us. Not.. well, obviously it's important, but I mean culturally, too. Making food from home.. having ingredients from home.. that's kind of our last connection.
[He sets his Omni down and reappears in frame. He looks tired, but when doesn't he.]
So.. Is there anyone out there who cares about this stuff? Because honestly I have the land but I'm learning as I go along and I could use the help. I'm not a gardener but I think we can scale this in a way that means we all get access to fresh produce. Like a co-op thing? I dunno. The land needs purifying, water, there's no sun.
I was part of a seed bank back in Deerington. Has anyone saved seeds from last month's growth? Would you donate them towards the cause?
Oh- also dairy. That's something I want to work on. This is a stretch but if you have goats or cattle let me know.
Yeah.. okay. Okay, thanks.

Yeah, now works. I'll come meet you in the yard but heads up, Spaghetti is on the prowl tonight.

[He wants to believe that he and Spaghetti really vibed the last time he was there and that it'll be totally fine, but he might also be lying to himself because he just really wants to be friends with everyone's omens.]
I'll be over soon!
>Action
Besides, she used to be a regular raccoon and she likes food.
Spaghetti has started fancying herself something of a lantern guardian, so when Ryan appears, she's the first point of call and scampers into the lunar light.]
State your name and- Oh! It's you-
[It's a good thing. She knows Ryan and comes right up to him, tugging at his pant leg. Unlike Fritter, she is extremely vocal and very chatty.]
What do you have for me?
Re: >Action
[Ryan crouches down to her level, so pleased that his life has made a turn that involves knowing talking animals, and fishes around in his bag.]
Hm...let's see...
[He pretends like he has to dig alllllllll the way down, and then pulls out a entire package of mushroom jerky. After the whole mushroom debacle he's almost certainly never going to eat it himself.]
One whole bag of mushroom jerky, just for Spaghetti! How's that sound?

You may paff!
[A wide, welcome gesture towards the house and farm gate to the side.]
