Who: Hermione Granger & you!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: On the Vanquish
When: 10/08

[ There's a bit of movement as the feed comes on, and there's a flash of orange and a quiet 'meow' before Hermione actually gets the camera to focus on her - and she's smiling, a little shy but still there. She might have been used to making broadcasts in the Drabwurld, but things feel a little bit different here on the fleet - and a lot more public. ]

Hi. So, my name is Hermione Granger, for anyone that doesn't know, and I was hoping to start a sort of... Greenhouse, for all of us to use, for herbs and plants for the labs. I just wanted to see if anyone had anything that they wanted to grow there?

[ She stands up, moving to one side before she turns the feed, pointing it down at her desk where there's an odd assortment of seeds organised into little pots, all with neat labels and ordered into fewest to most, for those that care. There's a garden there already, but having one entirely dedicated to herbology might be useful. ]

I have a handful already, and I think I can handle setting things up with a bit of transfiguration, but if anyone had some ideas or wanted to help I'd be more than happy to listen. It won't be on the Vanquish, of course, but somewhere on the Iskaulit for anyone to use... Eventually. I'm not entirely sure how long this sort of thing might take to set up, honestly. I'm hoping to build a little potions room, too, if anyone's magical like me.

[ ... At least she has dirt, literally, from the planet? ]

Anyway! Thank you, for listening, and let me know. Thank you!

Do you think it would be difficult to grow some geraniums? Red ones if possible? I've never grown them myself.

[But he would so love to see them.]

[brainiest]

If I can get the seeds at a waystation or the next planet we stop at it should be easy enough, of course!

[Video]

[goldenglasses]

Really? They're not too hard then?

If you find some, could I help out? I'd really like to learn how to grow them.

[Oh, hey, guess who just finished setting up a garden on her own ship? She's more than happy to help with that.]

Hi, Hermione Granger! I'm Pinkie Pie! I can help out with that; I just built a garden bed on a Caprine, so I can scrounge up the surplus supplies, and I can help with building!

[brainiest]

That's wonderful! [ She does love it when a plan works out. ] I haven't really picked a place on the Iskaulit yet, but we could look together once I have the plans figured out?

I've got the fox park on the Iskaulit already, that you helped with, and that has a bunch of grass and dirt and stuff in it... But it's also got a bunch of foxes digging all over like the little assholes they are.

[It's said affectionately, really.]

But it's worth bringing up that if you section off an area, anything that grows in the cold could probably be brought up there.

video

[brainiest]

They're foxes, I think digging is what they do.

[ But Hermione is smiling as well, and she grins as she settles down in her chair. ]

That's a really good idea. Thank you!

[Have another really excited witch, Hermione. Misty leans into her communicator, her smile big and eyes practically sparkling.]

You're Hermione! Erik told me all about you! I'm a witch too - I got some plants on my ship and in Dr. Crusher's garden on the Iskaulit, so I'd love to help!

[brainiest]

I saw the other garden! I hope having one just for medicine won't be too much trouble.

[ She does brighten a little, though, smiling shyly. ]

Erik's talked about me?

[The fun part about being a Servant is that you don't even have to bother materializing to weigh in, so Tamamo's opinion is coming in the form of her disembodied voice.]

Hm... I think pink roses would be good to grow.

[ It's a good thing Hermione is more than used to that, and she shakes her head. ]

Do you want me to put out a corner for you?

[wolfehawke]

I gathered quite a lot of a plant that looks identical to a health potion ingredient from my home on the last planet. The seeds and seedlings for the elfroot should be in Beverly's garden on the Iskaulit, and I left some on the First Breath. If this is just for medicine, then they should go in your garden instead of among general plants, probably.

Plus if you need digging done or anything like that, I know generally how to farm and tend crops. I did a lot of that. And I can make it rain, magically, for quicker watering.

[He could summon a little indoor rainstorm for the plants, wouldn't that be nice?]

[brainiest]

Elfroot - Thedas, then, right? It was Anders that came up with this idea with me, actually.

[ And elfroot reminds her of Nasrin, and she remembers her with a quiet pang in her chest that she has to shove down quickly. ]

Any help would be wonderful! I can make it rain too, so maybe we could take turns. If there's anything you'd want in the potion part, too, I wouldn't mind setting that up.

{Have a glowing Elf, Hermione. Fingon smiles gently at her.}

I fear I have nothing to offer but encouragement, and a hope that you are successful. I would gladly help, though I am not sure how much I can do.

video

[brainiest]

[ Elves! Hermione pauses, remembering Legolas, but then she shakes her head and pushes forward. ]

Encouragement helps too. It's nice to have support when you're planning something! You could always keep watch for herbs when we stop somewhere, if you'd like.

[Ah gardening, his favorite hobby here. the Vision is still not entirely sure how he fell into it, but the background of his video shows some of the plants he has on the Windrose.]

May I suggest for the stronger medicinal plants that you install shelves or use hanging pots? It would be unfortunate if some of the pets got into something that would be toxic to their system.

[brainiest]

Good idea. I was planning on separating them out, but putting them higher and away would work a lot better, especially if I can charm them not to fall.

[apurrstate]

[He gives her a little smile in way of greeting.]

Can I help with the potions room too? I've learned a few new things since last I was brewing any.

video

[brainiest]

Of course you can! This was your idea as much as mine - you can do what you'd like.

[save_the_souls]

Ah...a crewmember of mine actually runs a garden on the Iskaulit along with a friend of mine. Though uh, we can't seem to find her right now.

video

[brainiest]

I've been there! I was hoping to set one up that's more of a potions garden than anything else... [ A pause. ] Wait - has she just disappeared?

[benames]

Please tell me nobody asked you to grow any illegal things for them

I mean, I realize no one will care in space but still.

[brainiest]

Cisco!

Do you think I'd agree to that?

Hi again.

[Even if he is stationed on the Wonderduck, Eugene can't help but smile to see a former crewmate, and gives a little wave as he replies.]

Just for the record, I would volunteer all kinds of time for access to an herb garden. Is that Jade girl with the plant magic still around?

video;

[brainiest]

Hi.

[ She offers him a small wave in reply, smile soft. ]

I don't know about that, but - I can ask around? I didn't even know we had a Jade girl with plant magic.
