Action by Petal
Petal would like to do lots and lots of spring planting at the lodge. She like to use her knowledge of plants and flowers to make sure that she plants in a way that is good for the land and does not deplete such. She would like to move the flowers she put in the green house for winter into the field of petals. She will be paying especial attention to her white flowers, but she will attend to and grow all the flowers. She wants to have violets, poppies, local wildflowers, wild roses, daisies, lilies and etc in the field of petals. She wants to grow some of the flowers in the main part of the lodge as well. She also wants to tend to the orchard for spring. These rooms were builds that Petal did for the lodge. She would like to have the orchard filled with berry bushes and fruit trees. She wants to care for all the lodge plants and to get them ready for spring. She is going to enlist help with such among those she feels are interested in such. She will prayer to Petichor during the planting and might also be holding a planting event that relates to this action. She will also show respect to the spirits of the lodge. She will do her best to get the best and healthiest plants possibles. She wants to encircle the lodge with her white flowers, but also with other plants in a ring around the land.
Action by Olivia
Olivia is naturally quite thrilled to join in the spring planting efforts. Indeed, these will prove an opportune time to complete a project she'd begun earlier during the Lodge troubles, in terms of transporting quantities of her own plants to the Lodge grounds to help bolster its flora and create some redundancy for the rarer varieties.
Thus, she'll have various specimens transported from the Ashford orangery, both mundane sorts (fruit trees for the orchard, medicinal herbs, decorative flowers, etc) as well as her usual collection of more exotic blooms (dahlias and bromeliads), the latter to replace any that may have withered during the Lodge attack and help bolster a larger population of the flowers there.
Naturally, as part of the Lodge's contingent of disciples, she will do her best to help with the prayer ceremonies as well.
Action by Shae
Shae is very excited to be helping Petal with planting various types of plants, as well as assisting with trimming and caring for the orchard in the Lodge.While Shae might not be a farmer, she does have some knowledge and skill with gardening. And to help make up for her bit of know how she is very positive and supportive. Her energy and optimism is almost boundless, and down right sunny. Putting in her warmth and kindness into her work, assisting Petal. As well as adding her own voice and words to prayers to Petrichor, especially as a disciple of Petrichor, she is genuine in her words and faith. Shae even talks to the flowers, encouraging them to grow and prosper. To reach up for the sunlight, and drink deeply from the earth. To give the sad rain a bit of color, as they smile up at it. Hoping to bring it a moment of relief from it's grief.
Shae is going to use her knowledge of nature and animals, to use her war elk help remove any tree stumps, rocks, or debris from the garden plots, and the orchards. As well as finding good health earthworms to add to the soil, and spotting the best places to plant certain flowers and plants, in the right spots, such as in the sun, or shade, or partial shade. Along with her knowledge of what plants and flowers are liked by certain types of animals, and what are poisonous, so they are planted in places that are appropriate, for them.
Action by Tallius
Okay, just being honest here. Tallius more or less assumes that any time Petal goes out of her way to do anything with plants, shit is going to get crazy and weird things are going to happen. He'll go and help move dirt, dig holes, the grunt labor that any idiot with a strong back can be of use for and for the most part just try and stay out of the way while those who are good with plants do planty things. The main thing he's there for, honestly, is to watch out for trouble and keep an eye on things. Because. Weird shit happens in this city..and around it..and anywhere most everyone he has ever met goes near.
Result
Spring planting at the Lodge is a beautiful affair. Everything seems brighter just now - the threat is gone... or if not gone, at least it isn't at critical mass right now. The fighting through the Forest and at the Lodge itself has done one thing - whatever Petal, Shae, Tallius, and Olivia plant takes root. The soil is rich and the plants grow beautifully. Is that because of Petal's touch? Olivia's prayers? Shae's knowledge? It's impossible to say, but the heady scent of flowers and green, growing things permeates the entire area, drawing songbirds and bees, butterflies and bunnies and deer - it's a time of peace and renewal at the Lodge. Blood makes the grass grow indeed, and the flowers have never smelled sweeter.
