Beautification. [P] [M]

[♥♥ryu♥♥]

Ryu walked slowly to the square. Hopefully planting some new life and cleaning up the world could cheer her up. She hoped it could at least.

Upon reaching the area, there would be several people working. She headed towards the most authoritative looking person there, who seemed to be giving instructions to a young boy. When the woman was done speaking, she turned to Ryu with a smile.

"Are you here to help restore the square?"

Her hands folded before her and she bowed slightly when Ryu nodded.

"Thank you very much. At the moment we are clearing the area of the rubbish left from the fireworks, and after that we will be digging up the old trees and planting some new seasonal plants. We're hoping it will look a lot nicer."

She reached behind her and pulled a trash stick and a gerbage bag from a pile, handing each to Ryu. She took them and stared for a moment before making her way to clean up the area.

People could be so messy. She poked at trash, dropping it in her bag. There were wrappers and cups and bottles and paper and all sorts of things that didn't need to be there, all over the place. How could people be so inconsiderate? The earth provided for them, life and freedom, and yet they treated it so harshly.

She stabbed the next few pieces of trash roughly before sticking them into the bag as well. Soon she reached the area where the fireworks had been shot off. The grass and dirt was charred and dead, a sad site to see. She'd had enough of death. She stabbed a few chunks of paper from an exploded firework, making her way back to the woman with her trash, following the other finished workers.

When they had all returned, the woman had a list of things that needed to be done. Ryu stood in line to find a job, and when she reached the front, she looked at the list.

Ryu pondered her options. All of them sounded rather dismal and boring. She figured the most interesting one was the grass, since it wasn't killing anything. She signed her name next to that option and moved on, being handed a satchel of grass seed, which she hung on her right shoulder.

She reached the center of the square, which had the most grass, and also the most dead grass, and began to throw the seeds all over. The more seeds, the better the grass. That's what was in her head at least. She liked grass. Unless it was the spiky itchy carpet kind.

She continued to spread out handfuls of the stuff all over, until the ground was noticable covered in grass seeds. Next, she covered the area with hay, to protect the seeds from being crushed, and also to warn people that the ground would be muddy. She grabbed the hose and began to spray the entire area, moistening the ground and making a happy environment for the new grass.

Once that had been completed, she decided to add some extra precaution to the area, and set up a light fence to keep people from entering while the new grass was growing. An area was left open for her to enter, but people would get the hint to not go walking through there due to her rope and wood containment system. Next she hoped she could actually plant some plants. She'd be taking this center area for herself.

Grabbing a shovel, Ryu walked through the rows of plants handy to be planting for the area. Grass country was always handy with plants, having them at the ready for all occassions. She chose several cherry trees, some azaleas, a rosebush, and a lot of wildflowers.

She ties a rope on them to label them hers, and made her way to the decoration area, choosing a flat of paving stones and a couple of benches. She'd get this done quickly with her strength. She lifted the flat of stones and carried it to the center.

The grassy area was a square, so Ryu set up a circular area in the center, with a large cutout area of grass in the center of that, and made a winding path from the center of each side of the square into the circular area. It would look really pretty when she was done.

The cherry trees were next, she planted them around the perimiter of the circle, closing off the inside from view from the outside. The rose bush was planted in the very center, with a bench on two opposite sides of it between paths. The wildflowers were dispersed at random throughout the area, excluding the center, where the rosebush was planted.

Now through with her part of the beautification, Ryu would exit the area, with the woman simply staring at her wide-eyed. She'd finished her tasks very quickly.
