[Catchall] Metropolis of Eden
Who: Umemiya and You
What: Things that happen in October
When: All month, possibly into next
Where: Skull Town, The Spire, Out in the Forest
Warnings: None yet
1. A city in bloom [Open, Skull Town]
With permission of the guild leaders, Umemiya's beginning his winter garden project out in Skull Town. While he isn't spending all his time at the garden, he does make regular trips out to see progress in tilling and planting and offer advice to those working in the garden. While he wishes Noelle were here to use Grassy Terrain and boost the growth of the plants, the old fashioned way will work fine, since the weather seems clement enough.
Perhaps you were planning on volunteering and come to meet the Lucario for marching orders. Or perhaps you're just wondering what's going on in this corner of the outpost. Either way, Umemiya greets any who approach him with a broad grin.
"Good weather for this work, don't you think?"
2. A city with that adapts to survive [Open, The Spire]
Umemiya makes himself busy around the guild's space when he isn't out at Skull Town or off on a quest. He's glad to help with cooking meals for the dining hall, and when he partakes of food he's likely to approach someone and ask to sit by them. After all, he's always been a warm extroverted soul, interested in building community.
And of course, he can also be found in the training rooms, working to try to learn some new moves, because he's realized there's types he doesn't have a particularly good answer to. Up for sparring?
3. A little morŠµ room [Closed to Need, Woodn't You Like]
The idea of going out for a walk in the forest and gathering wood is almost a break from everything else Umemiya has on his plate. He meets Need out at the edge of the woods, ears perked and tail already doing a slow wag.
"So, we just get a bunch of deadwood and dry branches and bring them back to town? Seems about as simple as it gets."
4. For underdogs and misfits to thrive [Wildcard]
Find me wherever Solstices are sold at darkersolstice to plot, or just come at me with something random. I have faith in you! You're amazing and your hair looks really nice today!!
Flip me to brackets if you please, I'm easy.

1/2
2/2
[ she gestures slightly to her plans. ] Like with what Mightyena'a got me doing. Might even head out to your garden -- not really done that sort of stuff before, at least not myself. That sort of thing just doesn't happen in Halcyon very much.
no subject
Hey, Pavarti? Do you often worry about what use you are to people?
no subject
[ what kind of question is that? granted, it's been less of an issue for her in the grand scheme of the whole. pseudo-space-piracy-having-friends-thing, but when put back into a place where she barely knows people? ]
I mean, I kind of have to be able to do my job in order to stick around. Sooo. [ she tries to cover this up with an awkward laugh. ]
no subject
[Surprise, this teenage boy has emotional awareness and is thinking about the mental health of those around him.]
no subject
and trying to work out what those words mean when you say them in that order]I wouldn't say that. That's just how it is, where I'm from. Or, well. That's what my Captain is-- was?-- trying to fix.
[ it's hard to break out of an abusive hypercapitalist school of thought when it's all you've ever known, even if parvati herself doesn't agree with it. ] I don't wanna lose what I have here so soon. I've seen that happen to good folk, Umemiya. It's awful.
no subject
But. The guild tallies points and awards better housing for those who do more. She isn't completely wrong to worry about needing to prove herself. Which sucks, and isn't how everything ought to be.]
We can fix it here, too, maybe. I just don't want you to burn out.
no subject
[ not that this has stopped her from working on her own time -- see her schematics during lunch -- but she's not exactly used to having all of that time. long, gruelling hours with an eight hour break to eat and sleep is what she was used to before. and then more unpredictable adventuring hours, but those were fun and different and didn't always involve her. ] You seem very sure of that. Heh. Like if the old man wasn't a little crazy.
no subject
[Especially since he'd originally asked Hiragi to help him because he thought Umemiya was fucking nuts...but morally sound. Ume trusted Hiragi to be the first one to speak up if he crossed certain lines, grew irresponsible or selfish as a leader.]
no subject
Law, no wonder I've taken a liking to you, huh? Maybe the Plan foresaw me meeting all kinds of weirdo leader types. Or something. [ she can practically hear max groaning a universe away. ] You've got a good heart, Umemiya. [ in all honesty, he's actually starting to remind her of felix. the same kind of dorky, stick-it-to-the-man attitude. cute. ]
no subject
[He grins at her, ears perking up and tail wagging. It's so nice to have a tail to wag; if he ever goes back to being human, he will miss that.]
no subject
[ oh yeah. definitely like felix. ] You'd do good to keep that good heart of yours. Law, now I sound like the Vicar. [ she's still laughing, doing the closest approximation to pinching the bridge of her nose as she can manage as a tinkaton who doesn't have a nose to pinch, shoulders bobbing up and down. ]
