New Growth
Who: Ienzo and.... oh heck, let's keep this OPEN for anyone who wants to come geek out about plants with him.
What: Taggin' your Gummigram Photos #EPCOTgoals #hydroponics #springtimesquad
Where: Radiant Garden!
When: Post-KH3
Warnings: ^
They're still calling it planting day, but all the romance of newly turned soil and timeless agrarian wisdom and hand trowels is sort of..overstated?
But technically speaking, it's more like carefully transferring trays upon trays of peat-podded seedlings into evenly-spaced holes in the lines of piping and filling them with up with the appropriate measurements of growing medium. Stretched out across the old fountain bed...only recently populated with new fish, they only wait to be filled in.
Still, it's something quite momentous, and even Aerith, who's proven a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to the flowerbeds already bursting with life near the gates, seems sufficiently impressed by the ingenuity of this new system.
Ienzo's...seemingly in bright spirits, and tenatively proud of the progress, dressed-down in cuffed-up overalls that probably used to belong to Braig and a checkered violet button-down (which seems to be as far a nod of concession he'll make toward all the rage in fashion nowadays). Somebody's actually convinced him to wrestle some of his hair back under a bandanna, for once, and for now this renders him almost comically nigh unrecognizeable. No promises how long he'll be keeping his face feeling so naked.
For now he's pleased to oversee the arrival of helping hands- never one to shirk hard work and rolling up his sleeves, of course, but really he's better at the bossing-about and organizing.... and the task at hand gives him ample excuse to chat cheerily, offering around cups of ice cold minted water between checking off notes on his clipboards and fussing with testing strips.
"...And you?" he gestures with a smile, tapping the end of a pencil to his lips. "You can either start with.... Ah, the cherry tomatoes, here on Row 4, or down in strawberries on Row 8."

Regardless, there is a swell of pleased approval in his chest as he watches Ienzo direct the volunteers. Who would have thought he could dress down like that, looking amusingly unlike himself with his hair pulled back? It's a great contrast from the put-together apprentice of Ansem the Wise, even as he keeps busy and continues making the world better in his own way.
He watches the latest of the volunteers take off in the direction of the strawberries before stepping forward, tilting his head in greeting. "Did I miss something? What spurred all of this sudden gardening?"
To be fair, he has been off-world for awhile.
