It Might As Well Be Spring [Open Video]
Date: March 20th, 2019; after school
Characters: Network Number {235 13 892 33} ; Action open to family
[As the video begins, the sleeve of a lightweight knit sweater covers the view as the broadcast as Nel makes an adjustment to the angle of the phone. Gentle, she releases the device and withdraws her hands slowly before taking a few steps back to bring herself into the frame. The view is somewhat elevated and shows Nel standing in the family backyard. The grass looks a little more vibrant than those belonging to neighbors or elsewhere in Mossgate thanks to her time playing around outside this afternoon trying to burn off the excess energy that makes itself known as she addresses the Network.
As she talks, her words are hurried and there's a light bouncing on her heels as she attempts to stand in one place with modest success.]
Hallo everyone! I thought it'd be nice if I shared the gift Father Christmas gave me! I decided today is a nice day to wake the seeds up and so I have these here-
[She gestures to the few pots she has set up with dirt in them beside her, and in front of them rests an opened gift box.]
-to put them in. Then I started holding them trying to pick which one I want to grow and oh they look brilliant in my head and I knew I had to show them to everyone cause they're absolutely beyond anything else anywhere!
[A gleeful giggle breaks from her in anticipation, and she claps her hands together with excitement. Rather than take a simple step over, she springs in a hop to land in a crouch and reaches into the box to retrieve one seed out of the packets within. Leaping right back up to her feet she hurries over to the camera to hold the seed up close for a slightly blurry view of what looks more like a chunk of ice topped by a bit of lint than a plant seed.]
See? It's already so nice, but watch this!
[Scurrying back to one of the pots, Nel minds the camera enough to go to the opposite side and crouch there. She digs a hole down into the dirt with her finger, and drops the little seed down inside. A sweep of her hand covers the dirt, and then she lays her hand over that same spot in the pot as she closes her eyes to focus. Coming quite fast, the vibrant green coloration overtakes her hair nearly to her shoulders as she calls her magic to hasten the growth of the plant. What follows is the sight of her raising her hand upwards with the tip of the plant pushing up against it within the little sparkles falling from her hand. The stem of the plant twirls as it rises upwards, and as it gets taller, small buds shaped like diamonds form at the sides near the top, as sharp and crystalline as ice. Her second hand comes underneath the lowest bud, and the largest buds at the top open at the tip to spread out flat into thin sheets that rather resemble snowflakes without separate petals. By the time the last of the top three buds open, the plant itself is nearing a meter in height with Nel now standing. Her hands lower away as she stares wide eyed at the sight of what she had only pictured in her head previously, and with a squeal, she jumps away from the pot to start running about.]
IT'S SO PRETTY!!!!
[She goes out of frame, then a few seconds later, crosses in a cartwheel with her long red hair trailing behind.]

Uh…maybe not? I’ve been hyper for the last few days, and today is the most hyper I’ve ever been in my whole life! But I got the seeds from Father Christmas in December when he was at the mall. [She squees happily and twists back and forth a few times, hair swinging in the motion except where she holds it.] He was so super duper nice!!! And I wanted to make sure the seeds would be healthy after they grew so I waited until today since it’s getting warmer now and the other plants are starting to wake up.
Re: [Video]
[He frowns a little at that explanation.]
As long as nothing's wrong, I guess. You like plants?
[Video forever]
[Her smile disappears as she turns thoughtful for a brief moment.]
I think I’ll be worn out at the end is all.
[And back the smile comes at the mention of plants with an enthusiastic nod.] Yep! I liked them before but only the pretty ones. Now I’m learning a lot more about them and like all of them.
Re: [Video forever]
Plants do get pretty interesting. I've been reading some books recently on what different plants have been used for. Medicine and food and stuff. [He'd actually started reading it because it discussed poisons, but had found himself being interested in the topic for itself. ]

I know lots of the ones that are good for eating, but I don’t know the ones for medicines I don’t think. Do any of the books you read explain how they make the medicine with the plants?

Writing a mystery sounds hard... How would learning about plants help you write one?

I like that plants can help! And oh! Moss likes shade, that’s why it grows more to one side than others.
Oops
That's right! I've been trying to put together a mystery based on that.
No worries~
That’s an ace plan! Plants do so so much!
