[ Text - Come get some free melons ]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Hello, this is Shinji.

I've been growing watermelons, and I've ended up with more than my house could possibly go through. If anyone would like to come and pick one or two of them up, please let me know either here or by contacting me privately. Whatever time works best for anyone, my schedule is flexible, so I can be around to let people through whenever is convenient.

Alternatively, if you don't want to come pick them up yourself, there's a very good delivery service available that can take some out to recipients.

That is all, thank you.

Wow what a handy service

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Very handy, everyone should know about it.

[whenyouneedme]

You could come along for some too, if you wanted. Pull a Hummy on folks.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

I would not be able to pull off that same kind of cute surprise.

But if there are any big orders, you can put me to work helping loading and unloading them.

[Like, perhaps, one order an enthusiastic customer upthread might have.]

[whenyouneedme]

Heh

Sounds like a plan. Lemme know if anyone else goes wild.

[What are you even going to do with so many watermelons, Pyra.]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Perhaps Noctis and Vianca have a sweet future ahead of them. Who can say.]

I will. And you let me know if anyone asks for some on a regular order so I can set them aside.

[whenyouneedme]

[A sweet treat for good girls and boys.]

Roger that.

Who knew the ones you rose last year would end up turning out so many this year

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Having more space just for them probably helped, and it's been really nice being able to just go out and check on everything without going out of my way. Moving to a house with garden space was a really smart idea.

[Lots of thanks to you, Kai!]

[whenyouneedme]

[He is very proud of his good idea, look at how good it turned out.]

glad i could talk you into it haha

It all looks real good!!

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Good. I want everything to look nice for you guys, too. It's where you and Kyoko live, so it should be the kind of place you two enjoy coming back to.

We'll have to figure out some good recipes to use, if the kabocha harvest is anything like this.

[whenyouneedme]

i mean we enjoy comin back there cuz ur there but you having fun is a good bonus

pumpkin curry

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Are the flowers not also a nice treat for the two of you?

Maybe tempura, too.

[whenyouneedme]

they are!! don't think they're not, they came up real pretty

m m m m

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Something that'll make you smile whether or not I happen to be there, right?

It's gonna be a tasty time!

[whenyouneedme]

cuz im thinkin of you? yea

.... melons and kabocha sure take a while to grow, huh

[hedgehogsdilemma]

That's... close enough to what I mean, sure.

Yeah. Last year I got kind of a late start on the watermelons, hopefully next time I can plant them both around the same time.

[whenyouneedme]

[Fine snub all his flirting, sure.]

They're both true!

It's a bummer winter... happens.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Don't worry, you'll have other chances to flirt.]

Okay, okay, I'll trust you on that one if you insist.

It is! I still don't think I'm used to it, and I'm really going to have to find something to do with all the free time it's going to give me this year.

[whenyouneedme]

i insist

Hm.. . . im sure we'll find somethin

[even if he actually does not have any real hobbies of his own at all, whoops. But gosh if only there were a solution to Winter. Maybe if he thinks about it real hard, he will discover the Answer.]

[hedgehogsdilemma]

Right. I'll figure something out eventually, especially since you and Kyoko will probably still be staying busy enough even when it starts to get cold.

[Gotta stave off the ever present worry of not doing Enough and falling behind!]

[whenyouneedme]

[Stop that!]

yeah especially if she gets back into showbiz.

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Too late, it's been happening since. forever.]

She was able to do it once before, so I'm sure she'll be able to work her way back in. It's kind of less of an 'if' and more of a 'when'. Deliveries aren't going to stop just because it's chilly out, either.

[whenyouneedme]

[Time to break that habit young man]

definitely, don't doubt it. we'll have to be ready to sit on her if we have to. [Force some extra breaks in there.] Chilly probably means less people wanting to go out, yeah

might change the hours though, if its gonna be busy

[hedgehogsdilemma]

[Better that than wanting to just float through life doing nothing, right? Anxiety is better than apathy, probably.]

Can't have her running herself ragged, after all. Don't want you to do that, either. Both of you are going to have to get some rest under the kotatsu no matter what.

[whenyouneedme]

no no i mean change em the other way. i don't want to be busier than summer.

kotatsu time priority time
