Greenhouse Update No. 1
[There is a new and sizable node on the Murmer.]
This is Dr. Veritas Ratio of the Crosby Hotel. You may know me better as Lortel’s helper on the Greenhouse project. I bear news regarding the latter.
[The man’s deep voice is strong, perhaps to the point of coming off as harsh. But there is an emotional undertone of excitement and satisfaction.]
Construction materials have largely been acquired. We simply need to assemble them. Assuming no mishaps during construction, the project will be a month ahead of schedule. As such, I am opening up requests for plant recreation here.
Lortel and I believe recreation of plants similar to those of your homelands is possible with careful plant cross breeding. Given the morale boost it would provide, proactive action must be taken.
[All well and good. But there must be some sort of catch most perusers must be thinking by now. Well-]
Thus I have made a form to apply for plant recreation. Required format is requester name, delivery location, plant name, growth environment, shared memories and/or description of its characteristics.
[Paperwork. Paperwork is the catch. Sleep save you all. Ignorant to his comittance of such a grave sin, the scholar continues.]
The memories are optional, however I will note that taste and appearance cannot be accurately recreated without first-hand data.
[It appears this guy has managed to invent through sheer force of will the psychic equivalent of a form box. There may be the brief sensation of a brush of approval if touched. Ignoring it after going through it gets three pinpricks of interest hidden under the feeling of Ratio’s minor irritation.]
[This is the small version of the form. Praise Lortel for saving you all from true homework.]
Psychically mark your questions, requests, off topic discussion, and commentary as such.
[Or at minimum keep the discourse in the realm of debate. He will find a way to invent banning otherwise.]
Finally, anyone who wishes to contribute to the construction process, note as such here. Once we have enough applicants, a construction time period will be decided on. During that period, if we finish ahead of schedule, I will personally contact all helpers who did not attend that day to inform them.
[As to how he will do that-]
However, for us to adequately feed those who come to assist, we will need forewarning of who will attend.
[You guessed it. Another form can be felt. Truly, the most horrific thing to exist in Manhattan, New York yet may be this man.]
[With that, the wet blanket in Kimera form known as Dr. Veritas Ratio gives one final statement-]
For organization’s sake, send those directly to Lortel or I. That is all.
[And his presence withdraws from the Murmer ‘post’, leaving an impression of satisfaction behind. What a weird guy.]

Desired Tasks: Transportation, supply acquisition, construction, farming.
Opted Out of Tasks: n/a

[Thank you Sunday. See Lucifer, this is how you fill out a form.]
Overwork would be detrimental to us all. I do not see the modifications taking more than two weeks at worst.
no subject
I would still recommend the day off in between to give everyone ample time to recover their energy. Manual labor does take the toll on both mind and body, and will have to make sure to give everyone regular access to water, snacks, and a working restroom, per standard labor guidelines.

You got my buddy involved, so I'll help. Somehow.

End Result Delivery Location: Crosby Street Hotel, but leave some at the greenhouse, too! I like to share.
Plant Name: Strawberry 🍓
Plant Growth Environment: Likes sandy loam or loamy soil with some organic compost. Their seed beds have to be elevated so the water drains well. Temperate climate, and lots and lots of sun!!
Plant Characteristics Description: It looks cute. It probably won't look as cute here, though. Non-Host strawberries look pinkish-red (mostly red), with little green leaves at the top. Their shape almost resembles a heart! 💖
Reference Memories: The cute fruit in the center (sliced) as well as on the label (not sliced)!
no subject
Requester Name: Theseus
End Result Delivery Location: The garden construction site
Plant Name: Olive Tree
Plant Growth Environment: Clime of the fairest weather. Terrain at the very boundary between terra firma and sea, ideally raised as on rocky cliffs. Must be watered with rain and buffeted with air of pure nautical character.
Plant Characteristics Description: The leaves are pointed, shiny, and oblong. A healthy thriving tree bears plump fruit rich in oil.
Reference Memories: [A rapid procession of memories in a chaotic, senseless, disorder. Most of the plant's role in Theseus' life is through its harvest, amphoras filled with the glistening substance used for everything from food to fuel and somehow hygiene. ]

for some reason, the request form seems to be shyly tucked into the volunteer form. )

Useful Skills In Regards To Construction: Chronomancer skills to 'reset' errors, accidents etc. Plant knowledge. Cooking knowledge.

Opted Out of Tasks: I don't think anyone wants a blind man doing actual construction. It seems counterproductive.

End Result Delivery Location: Greenhouse and/or the Crosby Street Hotel
Plant Name: as;lkdjfsdla;e
[Here the form seems--for lack of a better word--broken. Instead, the rest of it is replaced by memories, not of what plants Ignis would like to request, but ones he has knowledge of from his home world. The memories flip passed like notated pictures in an album before cutting off as if Ignis has realized just what he is doing.
If one is watching closely enough, they might even catch a "page" that has information on it about the strawberries Caelus is requesting. The information seems to match what Caelus has given, with minor changes due to them being grown on a different world.]
Pardon, that was a lot. Perhaps this might be better done in person. I know quite a lot about a number of plants from my world, both those which are eaten and those that would rather do the eating.
[Wait, what now?]
We may be able to use my knowledge to cross-reference any request.
