[Netbook] Yapaggedon

[quietangel]

Hello there! After having assisted the Grand Master with his introductions via this format, I thought I would try it for myself. You will have to preemptively forgive my handwriting... writing by hand is one of my least favorite things to do!

I am going to try my best to keep this concise! My name is Nicole. I am both an angel and a mage. I am deeply fond of both novels and sculpting, and long to one day devise a novel the likes of which would astonish even the harshest of critics!

I have been alive for a very long time, so I am happy to speak on any number of topics... especially the ones that were thousands of years ago... it's incredibly difficult to keep the details arranged simply in one's head after four or five thousand years! Although, that probably isn't that interesting for the average person. Hm, let me think...

What is your favorite memory that you would be willing to share?

Oh, now wait a moment – I believe I recall seeing a greenhouse or two during my exploration here. Would those happen to be under your care?

[thebladebringstheflame]

yep they are. used to have other people helping but they're mostly mine these days. the clinic greenhouse has multiple people in it but i still help out with the herbs and things, the one at the school is where i spend 90% of my time though.

[quietangel]

...This might be an incredibly lofty ask given that we have only just met and are conversing in a rather casual manner, but would you happen to have a list of the types of greenery that might be growing across the two greenhouses?

I am also curious to know if there might be a chance of tea leaves. I had noted the presence of powdered tea at the Inn, but there is something to be said about going through the precise motions of preparing from actual leaves...

[thebladebringstheflame]

yeah i got it. give me a while to write it out, there's a lot. i'll also list stuff growing outside of it because some stuff needs a specific soil or you'll see it pop up now that we're in springtime, blah blah blah. assume it's planted in the greenhouse unless i note it otherwise.

flowers/non medical plants:
hibiscus
rose
lemon balm
butterfly pea
cactus
lilies
frangipanis
wisteria (these are all over the path to the tailor shop)
fuchsia
begonia
hydrangea (these are also all over the path to the tailor shop)
poppy
lantanas
calendulas
gardenia
jasmine
moonflowers
cattails (along river)
duckweed (in backwater river channels)
sunflowers (tied with yellow ribbons) (they should pop out of the ground near the inn this summer)
morning glories
azalea
asian bleeding heart
lily of the valley
orchids
pothos
pansies
anenomes (near the bakery) (some are in the clinic greenhouse, they belonged to the prior clinic's owner years ago)
wyvern tails (around the perimeter of the grove) (very poisonous)

these ones belong to shadow milk cookie but i helped him plant and take care of them:
milkcrown flowers (outside) (good for making teas, but they require tears to bloom properly, so if you need to cry go do it over these thanks)
blueberry beholders (outside)
sleeping vanilla orchids (outside)
siu mai flowers
sheep flowers (outside)
butterfly flowers (outside)


vegetables & fruits so i don't have to argue about taxonomic classifications with anyone:
carrots
peas
tomatos
string beans
parsnips
beets
sweet potato
pumpkin
bell pepper
chili pepper
cucumber
romaine lettuce
garlic
strawberries
raspberries
eye lemons (grow on a tree planted near the river, they technically belong to elsword so go talk to him if you have questions. hes the angel with white hair who hangs around mizuki a lot.)
gooseberry
grapes
watermelon
peach
cherry
blueberry
oranges
elderberry

medicinal (specifically these are in the clinic):
ashwagandha
ginger
gingko
ginseng
turmeric
st. johns wart
echinacea
yarrow
rosemary
catnip
burdock
chicory
nightsun flowers (must be kept submerged in seawater)
oran, pecha, leppa berries (at the soryu dojo, not to be confused with the dojo ras and vil have) (i think these are for those kids with the pokemon creature things)
aloe vera



think that's all, i might be missing a couple. but no we don't have tea leaves, if you pick some seeds up i'll cultivate them for you

[Like ten minutes later:]

i'm a fucking sham i forgot about the native plants because i don't usually work with them, hold on. i'll draw pictures next to them.

starfruit (not to be confused with the yellow starfruits most people are probably familiar with) (taste a bit like blueberry pie)
star plant (glow at night) (spread a bit like dandelions do)
hoozuki plant (also glows at night)
suzuran lamp (basically a lily of the valley but it glows. lots of shit here glows. i named this one i don't know what the natives would call it, it's named for my non-biological daughter) (shut up)
sun lotus (i've only seen them during summer in isolated parts of the river)
mana berries (they're basically very tart raspberries in taste, kind of otherworldly and sour) (i tried one once and felt like i just got kicked in the nuts by several shots of 5-hour energy so do with that what you will)
vampire roses (i've only seen them grow where there are a lot of corpses) (i'm trying to isolate one, but you have to feed it blood, so.)
pink ivy (it's ivy, it's pink, it grows on fucking everything)
midnight roses (white roses, bloom at midnight)
sunberries (on the beach, yellow and orange 'spiky' berries, grow on bushes. the flowers before they fruit look like small sunflowers, the berries taste like sweet citrus curd) (they're good)
ocean's drop flowers (look like camellias, blue with white speckles like sea foam, bloom in spring and summer, and i heard they can be used to make wine)

swear to god i'm done now

[ Wow, this is very comprehensive information! ]

This is a very involved and fantastic list! I must also thank you immensely for breaking it down into comprehensive categories. Although it does not necessarily come as a surprise, the fact there are such particular native plants in the area fascinates me...

This might be a rather grisly question, but do the Vampire Roses seem to prefer a specific blood type?

[thebladebringstheflame]

not that ive found. they seem to subsist on whatever. which is great and cool and awesome save for the fact they want a LOT of blood and i don't love the thought of going into the forest every single day to bring back a hog or something

i might try with some of my blood and see if it makes a difference between the blood of something that can do magic and the blood of something that cant.

[quietangel]

In the interest of science, if you would like a blood donation I am more than happy to provide! I find the idea of learning the cultivation of the native plants to be immensely interesting, especially given the exacting conditions they seem to require!

[thebladebringstheflame]

uh, sure, but you're gonna have to go to the clinic to get a little vial drawn. you can trust me with tattoo needles NOT medical needles.
