Orchard Clean Up Log
[Yuuko sends out a message letting everyone know that she's checked all the trees and is ready to proceed with taking down the dead ones and growing new ones! She actually has a whole list of things that need to be done:
- Dead trees need to be taken down. The dead wood might be able to be crafted into something.
- All living trees are marked with a ribbon and need to be healed by those that can.
- Still living trees should have their sick branches removed and be pruned properly, to avoid further sickness
- Stone pathing is needed!
- Simple signage directing where certain fruit trees are growing. The orchard isn't big yet but it may be some day!
-Anything else that you'd like to add to the orchard. Small gardens for vegetables/berries and other things would be lovely and it'd be nice to keep everything in one place.
If your character collected seeds from the previous world Yuuko can make them grow instantly. Trees she can't make fully grown just yet, but she can get pretty close. Maybe by the time they've left for the new world/returned there will be fruit on these new trees.]
A - Cutting Down Dead Trees
[The orchard doesn't look super great. Even the still living trees are hard to ascertain from the dead ones. Yuuko has gone ahead and checked them out with some helpful hands and claws so you can figure out which ones to take down because they don't have a ribbon. These trees need to be pulled from the root and completely removed.
All this dead wood must be good for something though. If not fire wood maybe someone can make something out of it!]
B - Healing the Sick Trees
[First things first when it comes to the healthy trees: you make sure those ribbons get back to Yuuko. Otherwise, if you have powers to help them out please try! There are a few on the island that have already said they can save the trees. Hopefully they grow something tasty!]
C - Healing the Earth
[Before growing can commence the dirt leaves little to be desired. The earth isn't in great shape and perhaps it's the reason all the trees started to die? Yuuko's no tree doctor so she couldn't tell you... but before she risks planting any trees in the ground she hopes that someone with some kind of healing magic can revitalize the dirt. Healthy trees need a healthy ground first and foremost.]
D - Planting Delicious Delicious Fruits
[It's time! Yuuko doesn't have a lot of seeds but it's enough to get started. There's apple, oranges, lemons and two pear tree seeds! (Impressive!)
With all the sick trees removed and the dirt revitalized Yuuko has carefully planned where each tree and future tree should go. But maybe her and Waver weren't the only ones to collect seeds. If you also managed to gather something from the previous world hopefully you're inclined to share and pass the seeds over to the rest of the group. Yuuko can make instantly grow any small/medium sized plant. Berries and flora may take a day or two to actually bloom but it won't be a long wait.
As for the trees... well, she now experiences her limits. She can get them pretty grown but not to their full potential or size. Oops. Shoulda maybe been practicing, huh? Oh well. There will probably be plants and apples when they return from their next world.]
E - Pathing/Signage/Build Your Own Thing!
[There is still so much that can be done for the orchard. Pathing will make it easy to get around and not get lost in what will hopefully be a sea of trees. The signage makes things easier to find. But what about making things aesthetically pleasing? Yuuko is all about that. Making a koi pond or a fresh water source will be helpful in keeping things watered.
Smaller gardens to grow different things like vegetables and herbs would be splendid. Are there bumblebees here? Maybe some bee friendly plants that will keep the trees and the rest of the things here growing. There's so much that can be done and while Yuuko has planned out the tree part there's still lots more that can be done and crafted to make life here a little bit better.]
(OOC: Please interact with each other and spam this post all you like to make the orchard super great! And really, do whatever you like and build whatever you please if you're able!)

Yeah. That could'a lifted this no problem. But now, I'm probably gonna spend the rest of the afternoon just choppin' this thing apart.
[A somewhat hopeful glance over at said metal arm.]
That thing doesn't turn into a chainsaw, does it?
no subject
I imagine it could if the right person messed with it, but I’m gonna have to let you down on that one, buddy. [He chuckles and smiles easily.] That said, it can definitely handle a lot. For that matter, I can handle a lot. So I dunno if you’ll actually need to spend so much time hacking that tree to bits.
...cause I can also tell you now that it’d take more than the whole afternoon for you to chop it all up and lug it all anywhere useful once it’s all hacked to pieces.
no subject
[It's a relieved grin and a click of the bone between his teeth.] And here I thought you'd take me nearly droppin' a tree on you a little bit worse than this. I took a second axe in case the first one broke; I can go grab it by the stump.
Don't suppose you're also secretly a lumberjack?
no subject
No, no, no, God, no. Not that I probably couldn’t make an honest living off of a life like that, but geezus, as much as I love nature, I don’t know if I could ever be a professional literal tree hugger. Or lugger.
[Walking over to the fallen log, he starts to assess the length of breadth of it for maneuvering as he continues speaking.]
Honestly, I can tell it was an accident. Not much gonna come out of it if I stay mad over it, right? I mean. I coulda died, sure, but I didn’t. And I’ve been through enough harrowing things to be more than grateful for surviving the not-dying part, so. I mean, maybe it’s not so good being that used to it, but I’ll gladly take not being dead over being dead.
Besides, you did save my ass regardless.
no subject
[He rummages by the stump for a moment before hefting another axe. Chopping down a tree with an axe's long wooden handle... just seemed kinda mean to think about.
Oh well. Red forks it over to his chopping buddy, and even has the presence of mind to do it handle-first.]
What did you do back home, anyway?
no subject
I’m a soldier though. [Yeah, keep it simple, Barnes. This guy doesn’t need to know all the details.] Or was, I guess. Still feel like one, but not employed as one. Survived the worst war to befall the planet I’m from though, so. Not really a stranger to danger.
Oh. Hey, that rhymed. [And he laughs because it genuinely caught him off guard.]
no subject
He leans against his axe for a moment, trying not to look too curious about so grim a topic.]
...Which war was that? I heard there were some big ones.
no subject
Still, there’s probably no harm and saying it even if the guy has no clue, right? And at least then it would establish better comprehension of what Red’s even heard of in the way of wars.]
World War 2. Or so it’s called. It’s the worst that’s happened so far for me anyway.
