- Eclipse Soulstorm - 07-08-2011 OOC: For Saul, I'll make this a quick one! :3 <3 Dated for July 9th if that is ok. ----- Eclipse finally got out after helping repair their living space. She had a late night excursion and she was able to see spots where she wanted to plan the seeds. Razekiel had been right, she would know exactly where to plant them and thanks Anu she knew how to plant seeds and knew what to do. She had knocked on Saul's door feeling her excitement about the planting coming over her. She was returning to her old self little by little and her tail was wagging as she waited for her cousin so she could put some seeds into the ground. She had the bag in her hand and had found a small hand shovel. It was rusted and very old, but she was sure she could use it. Even if it broke she was not one to scoff at the dirt. The young future cook was ready to start learning how to grow the plants she had in her hand, though she didn't think they were herbs she was sure she would be well on her way to that point, but it seemed that their land needed a fix-me-up before anything of a garden could be thought of. Even grass was rare from what had happened before, and she wondered if it had been a fire, there was evidence of one, and she knew what fire could do, it had singed her fur once. She would ask Saul.... if he would wake up. - Saul Stormbringer - 07-08-2011 [html] this is ooc! short and snappy is good for me <33 .saul-b01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .saul-b01 p {padding:0px 35px 5px 35px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-b01 b {color:#fff; text-shadow:1px 1px 2px #000;} .saul-b01 {background-color:#768DFF; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/o6COs.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 80px 0px; border:1px solid #fff; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; color:#17163C; width:475px; text-align:justify; } .saul-b01-border {width:477px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto; } .saul-b01 .separator{width:322px; border-bottom:1px dashed #17163C; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style>[/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 07-14-2011 OOC: So sorry for taking so long, no idea waht got over me, well I kinda do but it sucketh Saul was an affectionate cousin, and she appreciated his concerns and wanted to reassure him, but right now she didn't know what she wanted, except to plant these seeds. She could tell the whole of the pack lands could use work, and wondered why they all looked half dead. She would ask, eventually when she felt the right time came, right now it was greetings and reasons. "I slept fine thanks. Are you ready? I think I know where to plant these. She asked holding up the bag and the old rusted shovel. She had found a few different spots in near living spaces of others. If they were flowers, they were pretty and if they were pretty, then they would make the living spaces look nice, they wouldn't look pretty just anywhere. She felt near their own home was a good spot for them, as well as the home of some others. It would be a quick excursion, considering it really wasn't hard to plant seeds. - Saul Stormbringer - 07-15-2011 [html] Dun be silly Shaw-bum! Its fine <33 Green eyes were quick to pick up on the impatience of his cousin and the agouti male exited and closed the door quietly behind him. There was no need to wake the whole house with their comings and goings. Saul waited as she answered, revealing her impatience to him without actually saying it. Instead, he nodded softly and started down the hall. She was sure to be by his side, or at the least just behind him. "I'm glad you're well Eclipse. Its been so long since we've all been together, it's a little strange even for me. " He noticed the rusted shovel in his cousins hand and chuckled softly as they made their way down the stairs. It was a bit of an art to getting up and down to the second level- the staircase was in a bad state of disrepair and was one of the things on his list to fix. The next thing would be the front door, and then coming back to finish off the roof. It might take a while to tile it all, to even consider getting out there and doing it. But he could, at the very least, repair the half of the a-beam and nail down the flat sheets of wood that would make it a roof again. .saul-b01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .saul-b01 p {padding:0px 35px 5px 35px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-b01 b {color:#fff; text-shadow:1px 1px 2px #000;} .saul-b01 {background-color:#768DFF; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/o6COs.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 80px 0px; border:1px solid #fff; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; color:#17163C; width:475px; text-align:justify; } .saul-b01-border {width:477px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto; } .saul-b01 .separator{width:322px; border-bottom:1px dashed #17163C; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style>[/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 07-20-2011 Eclipse could only smile at that. It was part her fault that the family broke apart, and it wasn't all back together. She had seen hide nor hair of her mother or father around at all. She wondered what they were up to. Why hadn't they come back, she had. It mattered little, she still had some family here as Saul had said, and she thought it should stay that way, though who's to say if she decided to leave again... Razekiel told me they were flowers, so I saw that they could be planted near the homes. Mostly where they would get the most sun. I think it would look pretty to have flowers next to our homes that have people living in them. She said, almost too wisely. She seemed less worried about the stairs as she nimbly walked down behind him and when he stopped she would feel quite agitated, wondering why he was being so careful. She knew the stairs were in disrepair, but even she could easily skirt the termite infested wood. Most of the time. Once at the bottom she felt free and hurried to the front door to wait for him, her tail swaying back and forth a little. She was not a wolf to be constantly depressed, and soon she would be back to her lively self in no time, she was sure of it. - Saul Stormbringer - 07-20-2011 [html] <33 Despite his cautious approach to coming down the stairs, Eclipse was growing impatient. If Saul hadnt been worried about her stepping on a weak part of the stairs, he would have let her go ahead. But the stairs were more than just termite ridden. The steps themselves were so eroded that there was no distinction between one stair to the next and in a few years, there would be nothing here but a smooth lump of rotten wood. There were a few stairs completely shattered and the gaping holes left were dangerous. So they proceeded carefully, despite his cousins huffing. Finally they reached the bottom and Saul glanced back at the death stairs. They were the next thing on his list, that was certain. Eclipse chose to speak then, answering his question about the seeds and where they were going to put them. Saul nodded softly before adding; .saul-b01 .ooc {font-style:italic; } .saul-b01 p {padding:0px 35px 5px 35px; margin:0px; text-indent:35px;} .saul-b01 b {color:#fff; text-shadow:1px 1px 2px #000;} .saul-b01 {background-color:#768DFF; background-image:url(http://i.imgur.com/o6COs.png); background-position:bottom center; background-repeat:no-repeat; padding:10px 0px 80px 0px; border:1px solid #fff; font-family: georgia, serif; font-size:11px; line-height:13px; color:#17163C; width:475px; text-align:justify; } .saul-b01-border {width:477px; border:1px solid #000000; margin:0 auto; } .saul-b01 .separator{width:322px; border-bottom:1px dashed #17163C; margin:0 auto 5px auto;} </style>[/html] - Eclipse Soulstorm - 07-24-2011 OOC: Teh suxxors... She gave a little giggle, something she hadn't done before, he probably was still a little scared of the stairs so he didn't hear everything she said, and in a way she found that funny "I said that we are going to plant them near houses that have us living in them. This is one of them. And I saw a few more too. I think. So I'm going to plant them there too!" Those places weren't too far from where they lived, and it mostly had deep scent of luperci. She knew where she needed to plant them she just needed Saul with her, that's what she thought at least. She opened the door waiting for her cousin, figuring she could be nice to an elder at least. She smiled a little and motioned her arm for him to go before her. - Saul Stormbringer - 07-25-2011 He heard his cousins giggle and returned with a chuckle of his own. He was pleased she was getting back to normal, even if it was taking a while. She had always been bouncy and bubbly, and he was happy to see that Ichika was suiting her well. For reasons unknown, he had taken up the mantle of his families happiness and took it personally if one of them were to become unhappy with themselves or the place they had chosen to live. Being so sensitive to those around him was a challenge even he could not comprehend, and he knew he spent far too long worrying about them. It was ingrained into him though, to be the watcher, the guardian. Eclipse began to speak again, reiterating the point she had made earlier. Saul conceeded with a bob of his head and a chuckle. They were just to wander around then. "An excellent plan, my dear ward." He commented, before she held the front door open for him. He smiled, breezing past and ruffling his cousins awkward hair pleasently on his way through. He was glad that everything was going well. Coming out into the bright day, the male rubbed his eyes and yawned dramatically, although he knew that Eclipse was aware of his odd waking hours and the obsession with which he stuck to his morning routine. It was the love for his cousin that halted him racing off towards the stream to bathe and wash away the previous days dirt. Still, keen green eyes turned towards her, guesturing around to see if any of these strips of unruly greenery suited her fancy. - Eclipse Soulstorm - 07-27-2011 [html] OOC: off to one of the other places that's occupied.... where are they again? HAHAHA Eclipse smiled at the approving answer and was out the door in seconds after Saul was. She looked around to find the perfect spot to plant her first seed. It was only right for her to do it where her family lived first, as well as Saul, who probably saved her from her own self destruction. She quielty sat down, doing the opposite of what Saul was really rearing to do. She started using th small shovel to dig up any old plants and roots as well as weeds, making a spot just next tot he stairs. This would be perfect to have small flowers growing here. She then took the pouch and poured a few in each little hole she had made and covered them up. She forgot she would need water, but couldn’t think of how to get any, but she shrugged it off, it was bound to rain soon anyway. “Ok, the other place is this way!” What Saul didn’t know was that Eclipse had gone out scouting the night before, so there wasn’t much wandering to be had other than to get to the destination of the you girl which tended to be quick. .tree_04 b {font-weight:bold; color:#000000; letter-spacing:1px; } .tree_04 .ooc { font-style:italic; padding:0px; font-family:verdana, sans-serif; font-size:11px;} .tree_04 p {text-indent:25px; padding:5px 10px; margin:0px;} .tree_04 {margin:0px auto; width:400px; background-color:none; background-image:url(http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/4200/tree01.png); background-position:bottom left; background-repeat:no-repeat; border:none; padding: 15px 0px 10px 0px; font-family: georgia, sans-serif; font-size:12px; color:#000000; line-height:12px; letter-spacing:.5px; text-align:justify;} </style> - Saul Stormbringer - 07-27-2011 [[haha, no idea. shall we end it here? we can just assume they continued on their planting scheme, i just dont know what else to write!]] Eclipse paused as they got out into the open air, the cool summer morning triggering Saul's need to run. But he'd promised Eclipse that he would help her, and help her he would do. She crouched down, pulling weeds and other nasties out of the way. Saul bent to help, pulling up tougher roots that Eclipse couldnt manage on her own. The task was short lived, although the male knew they would have to continue until all of the seeds were planted. Eclipse then dug a few small trenches in the now empty flowerbed, pouring a few seeds in each. When that was done, she covered them back over, patting them softly. He would be sure to keep an eye on their progress in the weeks to come. They had not thought to bring water with them, so they would have to wait until it rained before the seeds got a good watering. Or perhaps he could ask Siku to do it on her way to tend the vines. Eclipse straighted, sorting her tools out before stepping forward again. "Onwards then, my dearest" He chuckled before bounding after her. She seemed to know exactly where she was going and Saul was pleased to see that there were signs of life in all the places they visited thereafter. Saul bent to help her clear away a space, pulling on the rougher ones to make sure everything was clear before she dug her trenches and planted the seeds. Soon enough, brightly coloured flowers would be blooming everywhere, under Ichikans windows, and they would have no idea who placed them there. Smiling softly, Saul followed his cousin as she completed her mission to bring colour back to Ichika once again. |
