[As it's a lovely, sunny afternoon Raven has finally decided to start growing the seeds he received from Flonne last week. He's been out in the garden behind house 12 for the past two hours digging up the dirt, placing the seeds, watering the ground and generally making sure he's planting them in an area where they aren't going to be destroyed when Repede decides to do his doggy business. As he finishes the last of the seeds his attention is caught when he spots a woman disappearing around the side of the building.]

Casey...?

[He quickly darts onto his feet without hesitation. But as he begins his pursuit he accidently kicks over the full watering can onto his journal. Turning around to inspect what he'd just collided with he notices the soaking wet book lying open on the ground and begins to panic. He picks it up and starts desperately shaking it dry.]

Aaaaaah! Oh geez, is it broken?! I was havin' such a nice day gardenin' too, I didn't mean ta wreck the book! It'll dry out right?

[He continues shaking the pages for a few minutes before finally giving up and sitting on the dry part of the grass, unsure of whether he did actually see her pass by or if he was just going crazy. It couldn't just be a co-incidence that he sees her on the day he's planting her favourite flower could it? He doesn't know what to think about all of this, so he just hopes nobody heard him shout her name through the journal.]

[He turns around to see Repede... no you don't DAMMIT! He throws the journal aside and attempts to grab the dog before it's too late.]

DON'T! REPEDE! I just planted those don't kill 'em!

["Casey"... wait, isn't that the name Raven had mentioned to him the other day?]

... Raven?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Oh! The journal does work! How's it hangin' kid?

[Voice]

[knightofratatosk]

That name you just said, was that...

[Oh! A guildmate in trouble! And it's something she can help with!] You could use a blowdryer on it!

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

A blowdryer huh? Can't say I know what one is.

[hazelrink.livejournal.com]

You plug them into the wall and like vrooom they blast hot air out of them!

[Buffy seems to walk around a lot. Sometimes, the decides to follow the river. So, today, she comes across Raven with a rather friendly smile on her face. Howdy, neighbour.]

Oh--Raven! What's up?

[crisisrain]

I kicked a waterin' can onto my journal and I'm startin' to see ghosts.

[He waves it over in her direction. It's pretty damn wet.]

[herotypical]

We've been seeing ghosts, I think. [Buffy shrugs, but comes to a nice solid stop near Raven.]

Shame about your journal, though.

[Estelle heard a shout from inside, but as the windows were closed to keep in their air conditioning (it really was lovely to have, even if she didn't really understand how it worked without a blastia) she couldn't make out the name. After a few moments she opens one of the back windows and pokes her head out.]

Raven? Is everything all right?

[crisisrain]

[He spots Estelle at the window and walks over, no point shouting.]

Not really no. I'm either goin' senile or there's seriously ghosts walkin' around.

[inabook]

Ghosts?

[she looks a little confused.] But there can't be ghosts here. No one stays dead.

[This guy has been grumping about for days while hiding the fact that he's grumping about, but that's not as important as the fact that he's been hanging around the porch area when all this went down.

... Did the old man just say 'Casey'? Wasn't that someone he mentioned during a sidequest sometime before they headed off to Zaude? ... Seemed familiar, anyway. Regardless, he'll get off the porch and head over to the back of the house.]

I wouldn't worry about that thing. Even if it fell it in the river, it'd still work.

[crisisrain]

[Oh, sup Yuri. Nice to see you remember I have a sidequest. Though he has been using her bow since he arrived but you're too early to know that dude. Either way he sees you over there and waves the journal in your direction.]

I was tempted to do just that when Lexy contacted me the first time!

[Veeeeeery slight pause when Raven mentions Alexei, but he's just going to skate right over that.]

Should've done it anyway. [NEXT TOPIC--] I'm a little surprised to see you doing something like gardening, though. Never thought you'd be the type.

[ Because Aly is an enabler, McCoy was wandering close to the house when Raven decided to kick the watering can over and glances over at the house that he knows Estelle lives in. He shakes his head at the uproar as Raven tries to shake the journal dry and offers from the fence: ]

I'm not magician, but I'm guessing it'll dry out in this weather. [ Because clearly books that talk back at you are witchcraft or demonic or something else that he hasn't heard yet today can handle a little water. ]

[ action ]

[crisisrain]

[He can't help causing an uproar, it took him by surprise more than anything. Not that he knows who the helpful stranger is but he appreciates the advice.]

Ya sure it'll just dry out? I'm sure it's got some magic tech in there that's not s'posed ta get wet.

[ For someone who hates having his private space violated, he's pretty good at doing the same himself. ]

Most likely. I know one person in this place that has tried to take these damn things apart, only to yield no results.

[This one just came back from a rousing game of 'let's try to find a monster to kill'. There were no monsters, so she lost the game - and she lost it quite badly at that.

She really didn't expect to come home to find that man from Altosk gardening, shaking a dripping wet journal.]

What are you doing?

[crisisrain]

[Oh hey there Nan! Come to kick an old man while he's down?]

I'm growin' monsters by planting flower seeds in the garden. What does it look like?

Well... I was gardenin' till my journal got soaked.

[capital-justice.livejournal.com]

[Wait. What. What the hell, Raven. Stop surprising Flynn.]

Gardening?

[Voice]

[crisisrain]

Hey! Nothin' wrong with gardening, not like any of you guys have been out here plantin' pretty flowers to make this dump look nicer.
