gauging interest in a non-combative group. feel free to skim it, i talk too much. :(

[hexappeal]

Hello! I'm aware that I initially pitched this about a month ago, but I wanted to make sure I didn't disappear in a pool of pain meds right after posting.

Anyway, I know a number of characters really aren't too big on fighting or they have partners who are butts and won't eat Kishin eggs, so I might whip up something up for our sort to do. I think this would be a good way to get characters that wouldn't ordinarily be involved with anything war-related a bit more integrated into the game, amongst other things. This doesn't mean that characters cannot be involved with this and the war or other groups, however!

The pitch would be a Death City Beautification Committee. In the past, Shibusen and routes leading to it have been attacked directly and there have been times when food has been scarce and potentially, the food could be tainted in the same manner the water had been. Creating and maintaining a community garden/green house would be helpful in that regard. Zatanna would also be teaching characters how to grow various edible plants and how to can and preserve, as well as create salves, ointments, and so on. I think it could also give characters who are less likely (or able or willing) to fight something to do in their free-time and would be more a mingling thing than anything else. There would probably be an ongoing group log once a month or every other month, depending. They could also host seminars where members would teach a little something to those that primarily fight or do detective work and maybe have fundraising mixers and things of the sort?


SO HEY!! If this is a thing that you guys would be interested in, please comment here and idk, in a week or so, I'll slam up a reminder post then an IC post! If you'd prefer to contact me elsewhere, my AIM is HECK YEAH top hats and PMs are open. (ALSO, HEY!! I'M LUCY!! MAN I MISS LJ'S NOTE FEATURE, DON'T YOU???) Thanks for your time, guys! :)

I'M INTERESTED!

Hello there. While Sakura is a new member, I think this would be a good way to get her started with some lasting CR in this game. While she's still a fighter in essence, Sakura has a history with medical ninjutsu and poisons in her canon, as well as a background involving flowers (mostly arranging). I'd like to get her involved if there's room for a newbie there :3

[pishirogane]

Ammy would love to help with gardening and stuff! Annnd Ms. Fortune might help out... Naoto is sorta buuuuusy with her other stuff.

[diedforyoursins]

kaworu is all over this bro

[clowned]

are you calling us butts because we won't eat kishin eggs??

[ioudas]

he is a butt

and he won't eat souls

deal with it

[dissenter]

what a weenie club for weenies

that being said i'm fucking great with flowers

[awokentospring]

This is such a great idea!

Lee is always busy, but he would do what he can to support this! And Obito will definitely want to be involved! He can't teach anything right now, but he's willing to learn ALL THE THINGS.

[nopunintendid]

Late to this party, but Junpei might be interested in joining something like that! At the very least, he'd probably check out the first meeting.

Because feeling like he's contributing to the war effort without actually fighting, heck yes.

[trageteas]

Totally into this! Jules isn't into fighting and he fucking loves plants so he'd be very happy with it.

Well, I have Lily who grows quite a selection of magical herbs and medicinal plants on her terrace in canon. She’s a witch and uses them in her magic but also seems to know stuff like mixing poultices with them. And she’s the gardener at Shibusen City Park now. So, she might get involved if she heard about this somehow.

So wanting to sign up Colette for it. Atm she is partner-less but also considering her world back home was in decline and all (thus little to no crops, dying flowers etc) this seems like something she would want to help with, definitely. A way she can help and distract/occupy herself while she waits and eventually finds a new partner and all.

[sayatakagi]

Laaaaaate BUT
Saya would be all over this~!

[vash]

Vash would definitely join this. Nurturing a living thing and letting it grow knowing it will help people. Yeah, he's a hippie. His motto is love and peace after all.

I may also get Layton in on this. He's not much of a fighter either and he's v. v. smart so I'm sure he'd be willing to lend his knowledge and get stuck in.
