I need a shamisen Rhiannon arrangement stat
Who: Makie and you
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: Iskaulit, Twin Roses
When: Now-ish
[She'd been, uh... somewhat distracted about thinking on this from a bunch of ships colliding with each other and upsetting her carefully maintained equilibrium (guys I'm just a samurai chick who wants to sit peacefully and drink tea enough of these space shenanigans) and avoiding looking outside entirely, because being under the ocean is extremely unsettling.
Today is the first time she's been to the Iskaulit gardens since they arrived in this odd place. It reminds her of something she'd like to do.]
...in Adstringendum, people arrived and left all the time, much like this place. You grow used to a person's presence, establish... ties. [What a formal way of putting it. She's thinking of the bizarre jar collection in her room.] And then suddenly, they're gone. The same holds true here, doesn't it...? It can be hard for a great many people, even if you know you'll see them again.
In Adstringendum, we kept what we called a memory tree. People would attach the names of those who'd left... paper monuments, so they'd never be forgotten. And new arrivals would always know who had been and gone.
I wondered if we might do the same here.

[She'll be in the garden for most of the day. Either playing her shamisen or actually, you know, gardening. It's a thing. And if she concentrates on the dirt under her knees, maybe she can forget they're submerged in the ocean.]

Ochako-chan has suggested someone with an augment for plants might be able to help. Otherwise... [She glances around.]
I suppose there are plenty of walls here. One could be repainted, or... decorated in some way.
no subject
Maybe some kind of wall where we could pin up names? Someone could even paint it to look like a tree.
no subject
Leaves and bark painted on the wall. We could put names in the bright places between.
no subject
I think it could look very nice.

I'd offer to help, but I'm rubbish at art. There's lots of talented people here though!
no subject
[ie: she sucks at art.]

As it turns out, one of the people who responded can make trees grow over a matter of days, so perhaps it's an option after all.
[Though honestly, she's kind of taken with the idea of a painted wall. She wonders if she can combine the two.]

That's good! Who is it?
