I think that Red Rover is a step up from Capture the Flag. Less conflict I guess, everyone ends up on the winning side in the end. It looks like you all had a good time anyway.

I've walked on so many battlefields. Nearly every spring after, flowers grow. Daisies, poppies... what will come up this time?

I guess there's something to be said for good fertilizer.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

And what can come out of a dark situation.

[cold_dry_pieces]

What is it they say, about clouds and silver linings?

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

Everyone of them. Silver goes well with white and gray. I'm not too surprised. Are you?

[cold_dry_pieces]

I think there are some pretty damn dark clouds out there.

But I've been feeling optimistic, lately.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

They have silver too.

I'm glad to hear, Rudy.

[to-turn-away.livejournal.com]

Have you?

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I get around.

[to-turn-away.livejournal.com]

Where?

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

Everywhere to everyone.

[to-turn-away.livejournal.com]

Like omnipresence. Heh.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

That's how I am, Anotsu.

[to-turn-away.livejournal.com]

Heh. You know my name? Hardly a display of omnipresence.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I don't need to make a display. I have nothing to prove.

[to-turn-away.livejournal.com]

How fortunate for you.

[crimson-intent.livejournal.com]

Red lotuses?

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

Sometimes.

This isn't a request, either.

[crimson-intent.livejournal.com]

Pardon?

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I'm not requesting flowers.

[crimson-intent.livejournal.com]

Of course not.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

This time?

Remorse and guilt, mostly.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I know that can't be what you've planted in your garden. What else?

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Nasturtium and red poppies. Calendula.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

Do you study the language of flowers, Justin?

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

Yes.

Do you?

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I do. I miss that practice.

You should plant some snowdrops sometime. Hepatica too. Maybe white violets if you're feeling up to it.

[absinthe-eyed.livejournal.com]

It doesn't sound like you need practice.

Snowdrops would be a good beginning.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I do like carrying on a conversation.

I'm glad that you think so too.

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

I don't like battles.

But I do like flowers.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

What do you make of the struggle between the flowers and weeds?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

I think weeds wouldn't be called weeds if they were as pretty as the flowers.

Prettiness doesn't matter to me.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

A garden is a garden no matter what grows.

How are you, Kay?

[gouge-em-out.livejournal.com]

I am...alright, I suppose.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

I hope you didn't get troubled by the curse.

[reginagloriae]

If the soil is fertile, you mean...

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

Change helps growth, not just for plants.

[barnabasdog.livejournal.com]

[voice post]

Thanks for the you-know-what.

[highcost-living.livejournal.com]

You know you don't need to thank me.
