[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.

I've been trying to study it, but the blood pollution is so bad, it's hard to make it so it works really well. Aridane has healthy soil in her garden- it came with her from the dream. I've taken samples to try and replicate it, but it's rough going.
no subject
I wish there was a way to copy over all her soil to the fields, but we need more than she can spare.
no subject
I do, too. But if nothing else, we know that we do have some good soil here. Maybe someday I'll work out how to use it to get better soil everywhere. But for now, all we can do is work on what we've figured out already. Luca has some good fish fertilizer? That's easy to get here at least. The fish. Might be worth a try, too.

Thanks man, it's always good talking to you.

[Oh, Raleigh, you're gonna give him so many emotions. He manages a little smile.]
Thank you. Uh- very much likewise...to-to you.
no subject
He gives a soft smile. It's hard not to go into brother mode a little and Raleigh has always been the type to have An Opinion about everyone.]
Thanks.. I appreciate that. You know, I've always really admired you. Being smart and clever [which are different!] but also your kindness and creativity. Those are rare qualities.
no subject
Oh. Thanks...again. I um. I try to do my part, anyway? I uh...thank for...saying that though.
