✿5 [Action]

[redstringed]

*It's night-time, and outside of Building 6 there is a young-looking gothic lolita vampire and a bed of roses.

Rachel, in an attempt to not get dirty while planting a garden, has been attempting to do the entire thing with spatial manipulation - you might see the dirt itself shift around the roses if you looked long enough. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be going well for her, and the rose "garden" is lopsided and mismatched, and the roses don't look healthy. They're wilting a bit.

And because of this, Rachel is looking all the more irritated and frustrated.

Clearly this is the best time to bother her.*

[CLEARLY]

Need some assistance?

[consultmybooks]

[Yes, Rachel, Giles is watching your moderately successful attempts at gardening. With interest. And amusement. Especially the bit about the spatial manipulation - he didn't know she could do that]

((ooc: Placeholder *sob*))

[redstringed]

*Oh god. Of all the people to see her failing, Remilia is very high on the Do Not Want list.* I do not. I shall manage perfectly well on my own.

[redstringed]

*The roses aren't moving together like she wants. Why are they being so uncooperative?! Grumble grumble grumble.*

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

It certainly doesn't look like you're doing well. As a matter of fact, it looks like you put things around randomly. Do you have a sense of aesthetics?

[Noel's doing her best to keep her mind off of a certain person and failing when she sees Rachel and the... fail!garden. :| Curiosity gets the better of her, and she cautiously approaches.]

Rachel?

[redstringed]

*Goddammit Remilia why are you here* A blind man and an idiot could see that this is clearly a work in progress. What must it say about you that you cannot?

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

Even a work in progress would have a semblance of advancement.

[redstringed]

*Ugh, Noel. It isn't as if Rachel is particularly embarrassed by your presence, but. She isn't in the mood.* What.

[redstringed]

As does this. I cannot be blamed for your inability to notice things.

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

Allow me to show you how to do this properly.

[redstringed]

Hmph. Do what you will, though I will hold you responsible if you so much as damage a single stalk.

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't think the garden looks too bad, but it's... well. Uh. It's a far cry from what she was expecting from someone like Rachel.] This is your garden?

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

[Bitch please.

And normally she wouldn't want to get dirty but she wants to show Rachel up so bad that she starts digging up a flower and setting it in the correct place.]

[redstringed]

*Goddamnit. She can't let Remilia get the better of her like this. Think, Rachel, think.*

[redstringed]

*It's a far cry from what Rachel was expecting, too.* It is, though as you can see, it is obviously very much a work in progress.

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

[Think fast because she's moving another flower]

[bullet-dance.livejournal.com]

[A work in progress? That explains it, then.]

It is? [...Rachel, why that look. You're making Noel feel bad.] If that's the case, I'm sure the finished product will look even better.

[redstringed]

How can you possibly abide to get so filthy?

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

[She doesn't know...

...so she'll have to think fast]

I can do it because when I do something, I always plan on doing it right the first time, no matter the consequences.

[suck it rachel]

[redstringed]

*Well, that's a bit soothing to her wounded pride. Only a bit.* Naturally. It will look nothing like this when I am done.

[redstringed]

Then you are willing to sacrifice your dignity for an easy result? I confess I had thought better of you, Remilia.

[redsynonymhere.livejournal.com]

Really, Rachel. I would have presumed that even you would understand that the loss of dignity caused by failing is even greater. It is much better to say "I can do this task" than to admit defeat.

In the end, you're the loser.

[redstringed]

On the contrary, I will not let another dictate the terms on which I succeed or fail. Do you truly believe that there is more pride in the sacrifice of your standards for mere fleeting victory than in refusing to compromise your position?

Even if I had faltered here, I would still be able to claim a victory.

[YOU LITTLE- JUST ADMIT YOU LOST.

NO YOU KNOW WHAT

Flinging a handful of dirt with vampire violence. Enjoy that.]
