[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.

Can you keep a secret? The chili peppers are for him. His birthday's coming up. He likes making spicy food.
no subject
[Raleigh taps his nose and winks. Your secret is safe with him.]
That's a good shout. I'll make sure to keep him away from those until you can gift him one.
When's his birthday?
[Does he hate parties? Probably. More reason to throw him one.]
no subject
[ Bakugou despises parties. ]

He hates parties. A friend of mine is doing dinner with just a few of us on that day, and I still think we'll have to work hard to convince him to stay, even though he lives there.
Maybe if you just give him a cake next time he comes to your place, he can't refuse.
[ Or he still might. ]
no subject
But it seems Deku isn't into the idea of birthday love-torturing his friend and that's fine.]
I can probably figure that out. Extra spicy?
[ok now he's fuckin w/ u]
no subject
He might guess where the chilis came from. Maybe another time.
[ he says with a straight face. Sometimes this nerd actually has jokes. ]
But seriously, I think he'll like being outdoors, even if it's always night now.
[ He doesn't say Bakugou has had a rough time lately, though he and Raleigh are both very qualified to understand. Bakugou hates being seen as weak. ]

Well I'm hoping that won't be a thing much longer. It would be nice if this is the only challenge. It should be over soon.
