Video; un: R.BECKET
[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.

And he isn't asking for good conversation, he's asking for people willing to work.
Come tomorrow, dark and early, Trenchwood Farm is already in full swing. Raleigh has been awake for hours and makes a point to wait by the lantern just before nine. Take a little break form chicken duty.]

He's also incredibly punctual. The sullen looking teenager is spotting Raleigh a minute or so before their agreed time as he makes his way across the property, and coming to a stop just before him at exactly 9am. Hands stuffed deep in his pockets, Katsuki straightens his slouch out a little and raises his hand to adjust the backpack strap that's started to slip off of one large shoulder as he nods to him in greeting.]
Yo.
no subject
Yo.
[Behind Raleigh, a big, fat raccoon is eyeing the meeting from ground level. Spaghetti fancies herself something of the crossroads guardian. This is her turf. She's sheriff around here, so y'all behave.
Her human pulls himself into action, offering his hand to shake.]
Raleigh Becket. I don't think I actually caught your name.
icon @ fuckin spaghetti the sheriff lmao
Just briefly. He did give his word that animals wouldn't be an issue. Correcting the angle of his head, his eyes move back to Raleigh, then drop his extended hand. They're back up and seemingly considering him.
Not a fan of this part of meeting people (or officially meeting them, in this case) , and it shows.]
When you said animals, I wasn't expecting a fuckin' fatass guard raccoon. It always like that?
[Now he reaches out to take that hand with a firm grip.] Bakugou Katsuki. We did talk before, on the network. You're the guy who told me that that asshole Deku was missing.
lmao
[The raccoon calls back as the two men shake, pulling herself up onto her back feet. The raccoon talks. What now, fucker.
She bears her teeth and looks like she's about to say something else before Raleigh cuts her off with a sharp hiss.]
Spaghetti knock it off! Jesus!
[Back to Katsuki,]
I know. And yes, she is. Katsuki, this is Spaghetti, my omen.
FUCKING DEAD 1/2
He aint a stranger to talking animals, the Principal of his school is (basically) a fucking rat after all. Yet somehow he is still (visibly, to his dismay) taken aback for a split second when the fucking raccoon addresses him. ]
2/2
He sees you, Spaghetti baring your teeth like you've got more to say.
Said animals were fine. You're a fucking omen, fatty. So... kinda a gray area considering that fact, but Katsuki his word that he'd be cool or whatever. So he at least pulls his punch a little--as much as he will EVER allow himself to, as he sneers at the raccoon.]
You heard me, Fuzzy Udon.
[okokok. Back to Raleigh. Brushing her off. And offering zero apology for his behavior.
Word on the street is that Raleigh has already been warned about him.] Let's get to fuckin' work then.
no subject
Raleigh just about manages to keep a straight face before nodding to take the guy through to the back, casting Spaghetti a sympathetic, silent apology over his shoulder. She huffs, it was rude! she's your omen, she should be respected if that kid is gonna work for them!!
But it's work with and he knows and he will apologize properly later.
It's a problem solved for now.]
So.. Deku said it was your birthday. Happy birthday. Hold old are you?
