chroma | catchall for 9s
i need to make a visualosity
[here they are in the void because i am way too tired to figure out where this should be set!
jiuqing is out for a walk after all the excitement of their murder mystery invitation, and she waves to 9s when she spots him.]
Hello. How are you doing, 9S?

[rooftop greenhouse it is!
when 9s arrives, jiuqing is already there, examining some of the seed packets. she looks up when she hears footsteps and nods to greet him, then returns her attention to the seeds.]
Are you interested in plants, 9S?

Er—not really. I mean, I don't know a lot about them.
[ He glances around. ]
Hadn't seen this around before, so I thought I'd come check it out.

I've never seen it before, either. But someone mentioned them while we were discussing locations before, and I did a little reading in the library... it's a greenhouse. It provides optimal conditions for growing plants.
[she smiles]
There are some herbs I'm familiar with that I thought I might try to grow here.

Oh, that's right. You've been trying to find herbs for a while now, huh?
Yes.
[she sets a packet of seeds aside. she'll definitely be growing that one.]
Shale allowed me to take some from their garden, but it will be good to grow my own supply.

That's... good, at least—from what it sounds like, anyway. I don't really know much about it.
Let's start with this.
[she holds up a packet of chamomile seeds]
This one is pretty easy. Can you fill a planter with soil, please?

Sure, that's easy enough.
[ Time to dig. Dirt go into planter. ]

[good work! she shakes out some seeds from the packet, keeps half for herself, and then gives him the other half.]
Now, scatter these in the soil, like so... [she demonstrates] ...and press them firmly in. They'll need light to grow properly, though, so don't cover them up with another layer, and don't press them in too deeply.

[ He gives the seeds a look, then likewise scatters the seeds upon the soil. ]
Then—like this?
[ He presses! Gently, like maybe he's afraid of breaking them apart. ]

You can press them down a little harder than that. They're sturdier than they look.
Yes, just like that.
[there! once that's done - ]
We'll need to water them, now. And we should come up here regularly to keep watering them. With enough light and water, it shouldn't take them long to sprout.

Often enough to keep the soil moist, but not thoroughly saturated... once they start to sprout and bloom, we can water it a little less often.
That sounds like once a day, at the very least. Orrr... did I guess wrong?
I'd expect that, but... I've never used a greenhouse before. My garden in Daxing was outdoors. It's possible the conditions here may be a little different, so I plan to come up a few times a day to see what the soil feels like.
Well... I could always do that instead, if you're busy.
...I'd appreciate the help.
[she smiles]
Why don't we come up together the first few times? I can show you what you'll want the soil to feel like before and after it's watered, and we can figure out the timing together. Then we can take turns watering the herbs.

[ a nod ]
All right. I don't have anything else to do, and I'm up here enough, anyway. So doing a little watering isn't going to trouble me.

[ah, the library. a bastion of peace and quiet. (it actually physically pained me to write that since i am typing this from a library that is very much NOT that.)
anyway, jiuqing enters the library with a neutral expression on her face. she seems to be steadfastly ignoring a tiger cub that is padding along behind her. "the common denominator of the universe is chaos, hostility, and murder," it says, and she just keeps walking. it repeats itself. she has been ignoring it since she stopped by the art room earlier.
she doesn't ignore 9s, though, and greets him with a polite nod.]
Hello there.
[the tiger cub starts talking. she continues to ignore it.]
