When: Throughout all of July, generally
Where: Denny
Warnings: Label your stuff if it comes up but otherwise nothing comes to mind



[Feel free to use this as a catch-all for whatever your character might conceivably be doing here. Are they loitering outside? Delivering supplies/food, or looking to share information about the city under the water? Helping improve the place because god knows it certainly needs it? Cooking? Socializing? Eating? Just wanting to booze it up? I've heard chatter of live music, so whatever you wanna do here, go for it! There are also some newer additions of rudimentary game boards and decks of cards to pass the time.]

[There are nominal rules but if you don't get caught you don't have to deal with them, so you do you.]

[She stares at the perfectly!! fresh!! food!! in the palms of her hands!!!

And while she doesn't agree, maybe Shepard is interested in something new. Something better? She would offer her some pizza rolls in this trying time, if someone would make them.]

Okay, the nice dog has a pretty garden we can look at.

[tenthstreetbred]

Oh! Ammy!

[That's right... she planted that garden all that time ago and she wrestled with her to give her a bath to... mixed results.]

We could go there, yeah. Have you been there recently? How big has it grown?

[She realizes then that she hasn't been there in months.]

[catpiper]

[Frequently, because she lives on her own timeframe with no responsibilities. That leaves a lot of downtime to go wandering through the jungle and gardens and wherever else she feels like.

Although it's hard to go there lately, now that Murasaki is gone. The cats that used to greet her at the treehouse have been missing for a long time as well.

Still, she extends her arms to either side of her, then realizing that doesn't actually help show the full scope of the huge garden, begins to point with her stretched out hands. Yeah, that's better.]

Really far that way and really far this way. It's very big.

[tenthstreetbred]

[Shepard smiles.]

I remember when it was first planted. There was so much potential in the soil and it was exciting to think of what we would eventually have.

[She pauses, her eyes looking far away.]

...Do you miss home, Ren? Whatever it was you had before? Or is this your home now?

[catpiper]

[The innocuous question strikes a chord with her. It's clear that Shepard's thinking of something else, somewhere else-that maybe there's a home out there she misses, but Ren's answer is immediate.]

No.

[She doesn't miss one part of that broken world, of being alone, of being afraid of death and living as someone's experiment.]

This is my home now, so I never miss it-I'm always here.

[But-]

Do you miss yours?
