[There is a white wolf in the library, strange, isn't it? It is under a table, surrounded by several books about gardening, she's leaning all over them, passing the pages with her paws and sometimes her nose... Eew. Her journal is open next to her and words seem to appear magically in it, even when she's not even moving at all.]

[Once-ler; and those who like plants and gardening.]



{{ooc; Transcription for those who can't read my ugly handwriting:
How to grow a tree!
What you will need:
Seeds (important!)
Dirt! D'uh
Time (we have all the time of the world here, no excuses!)
and patience Lots of it ... :|
and other stuff...

1. Get your seeds... Try not wishing because you know how the castle gets... anyway get your seeds
   any kind will do for now


2. Take your seeds (or seed...) and lay them out to dry until there is no moisture on the outside shell.
   (You don't have to leave your room for this, the window will do.)


3. Cover your seeds with a damp paper towel and place them in the fridge (I think they mean that contraption where you keep food cold!). You will have to leave them there for a month at least. HAVE PATIENCE! Also, make sure the towel stays damp.
   Apparently this speeds up the process, I didn't know!
   After a few weeks, the seeds should have sprouted! If they didn't DON'T WORRY!


4. Put the sees in a small cup of potting soil and remember to make sure that the soil stays damp but not wet. And now we wait some more!
   It should grow a bit more.


5. Transplant (carefully) the new sprouted seeding to a larger pot and keep watering daily.


6. Pick the location of your tree. Choose a planting Any place in Paradisa works, just make sure it's bit enough!


7. Transplant your seeding to the outdoors!
   (Yes, you have to go out to do this...)
   Once it is big enough, so no one will step on it, dig a hole much wider than the roots to allow them to grow easily. Water the soil...


8. Let nature take care of the rest.

Dictated furever

[circleoflife]

A reminder once the seasons have changed appropriately may be helpful, in that case.

[mom_to_us_all]

Oh believe me, I will remind them. [Once-ler, he's looking at you.]

[circleoflife]

On a mission, are we?

[mom_to_us_all]

The story of my life.

[circleoflife]

[A chuckle.] Well, I wish you all the success in that mission, then.

[mom_to_us_all]

Thank you, Mufasa. [She's going to need all the luck in the world for this one.]

[circleoflife]

[... oh. This is someone he knows. Awkward-- as distinctive as the writing is, he can't place a face to the owner.]

I'm sorry, who is this?

[mom_to_us_all]

It's me, Ammy.

[circleoflife]

Ah, Amaterasu. I suppose you write with your tail, then? I doubt I could be so dexterous with my own.

[mom_to_us_all]

Yes, I do. [Wait a minute, why is she writing? She snorts amused.]

I keep forgetting who can understand me and who can't. I'm sorry about that.

[circleoflife]

That is fine. Although, I much prefer to hear a friend's voice over the journal's voice. [Who's voice was it that dictated written messages for him, anyway? Hmmm.]

[mom_to_us_all]

I'll remember that! [Aw, friend! She'll make sure to get him a big piece of meat when she seems him around~]

[circleoflife]

[Of course you're his friend, Ammy! ... although he won't say no to a gift like that. c:]

How've you been?

[mom_to_us_all]

Not bad at all, things considered. And yourself?

[circleoflife]

I have been well, though I find myself with far too much time, unfortunately.

[mom_to_us_all]

No hobbies?

What did you use to do back home?

[circleoflife]

I do read the journal and am starting to read more from the library, but even with that, it seems like there is too much time.

As for what I did-- I ruled over the Pride Lands, and did a king's duties.

[mom_to_us_all]

There is too much time here.

Oh? I only know of the duties of human kings, care to share yours?

[circleoflife]

I suspect it is not too different; a king is to keep order among his subjects and assure their well-being, and to make certain that any threats do not roam about unchecked.

[mom_to_us_all]

Did you ever get bored?

[circleoflife]

[He chuckles.] Along with being a king, I'm a full-time father, and my son makes life quite lively.

[mom_to_us_all]

I didn't know you had a son! [well, duh]

What's his name?

[circleoflife]

He is Simba, and the future king of the Pridelands.

[mom_to_us_all]

A little prince. I'm sure he'll make a fine king.

[circleoflife]

Yes, I do hope that he does.

[And you know, survives at all, given Scar. B(]
