[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.

Mhm. Totally the worst.
[ He shifts closer, reaching around to slip his hands into Raleigh's back pockets. ]
Think he'd fancy a romp in the garden? Fuck up all these seeds he's planting?
no subject
[Chuckled, but he is half serious. Raleigh looks up, eyes bright and mischievous.]
But I do know a spot.
no subject
Oh yeah? Where's this magical spot happen to be, huh?
no subject
[And he wants to, ngl. Why not. Raleigh winks and stands, grabbing Chuck to lead him by the hand. He won't endanger his seedlings but he'll sure as shit bend over next to them.]
no subject
I never claimed to not be a heathen, Ray. Course I wanna fuck you in the open like a damn animal.
[ He goes right with him, lips pulled up in a smirk, free hand already groping at Raleigh's ass. ]
no subject
Excitement still races up his spine followed by want and hunger. Even more so that they're out here in the greenhouse. It's still their land but Raleigh just drafted an army of volunteers so is it private? Absolutely not.
That kinda makes it better.
Is it sick? Maybe. Does he care? No.]
