Closed with some openish??

[razzledazzles]

Who: Jae-Ha & Others!
What: A catch-all post for various things I have planned
When: April 22nd (and maybe other dates if more stuff comes up)
Where: Various places
Warnings: None yet!

Closed to Tsuzuki

[It's only been two days, and Jae-Ha's feelings have only gotten more complicated. He waits for Tsuzuki at the door, not wanting to be so rude as to start drinking without him. Sending a simple text seems the best way to call him over, with god abilities as they are...]

I'm here now! ♥

[This was good in many ways, he thinks. Not only will he get to speak with Tsuzuki about this issue, but he'll be able to check on him, as well. He's been wondering how he's doing...]

Closed to Ukoku

[Jae-Ha's arms may be filled with bags of gardening supplies, but that doesn't stop him from soaring. He often likes to take the longer route home just to feel the breeze in his hair and watch the people below. In this particular instance, he happens to recognize one of the faces below. By now, he'd learned a few things from Hazel about this man, but it was nothing informative, really, so that just made him more curious.

He changes his direction and drops out of the sky in a rush of wind, landing elegantly a few feet away from Ukoku. As he stands, he flips his ponytail back over his shoulder with the bag still hung around his arm.]

Hello, Ni!

Closed to Hazel

[After his small distraction, he's finally able to make it back to Hazel's temple. As usual, he lands in the yard and walks up to the door (the door, thankfully), but this time he calls out to Hazel without entering.]

I'm baaaaack. [He raps his knuckles against the door in a few knocks and then steps back off of the porch with his bags of supplies. He's busy taking out the various seeds or plants he's brought, but most notably is a fully grown chrysanthemum in his hand. He'll pester Hazel with more calling out to him if he doesn't come out immediately.]

OPEN?? ISH??

[IF ANYONE WANTS TO DO ANYTHING feel free to spot Jae-Ha jumping around!! Or hit me up.]

[razzledazzles]

I'll remember your cruelty, you know.

[Just for that, he's going to wipe even more dirt on Hazel later. For now, fine, if he's not stopped he'll march right on in the house and find a nice spot for this planter! He probably has to check on where Hazel's ended up, anyway.

He'll end up back outside in the end, picking up one of the shovels and tossing it to Hazel. Catch.]

[churchbelle]

[Wipe those damn feet!! Hazel will wait outside, rather than track all the dirt from Jae-Ha all over the house.

He doesn't want little shovels thrown at him, rude, but he catches it and motions expectantly with it for Jae-Ha to show him where to go. Is this the part where he whines more...?]

[razzledazzles]

[Oh, stop with the motions. Jae-Ha laughs and walks over to pick up the start of a tomato plant, kneeling in a spot in their little garden section. He sets the pot with this baby plant to the side, taking his own shovel to scoop up a tiny bit of dirt.]

Here should be a nice spot for it. We have to make it deep enough to cover most of the plant! [He continues to have garden tips...??] Come over here by me.

[churchbelle]

[This is boring and he wants to go read a better book than the gardening one, sigh. Or rather, he would think that, if once again Jae-Ha's odd little gardening tips weren't kind of endearing.]

Were ya up all night lookin' this stuff up? I'll probably have to scold ya for that if that's the case.

[But not really. Here, he's coming over and dropping down to sit in the dirt and lazily stick his shovel in the ground. He's working up to it.]

[razzledazzles]

That's my secret.

[It's partially googling at night, another part asking other people, and finally a few facts of his own knowledge. Interesting, isn't it? When Hazel just sits there instead of helping, Jae-Ha leans over enough to bump their arms together.]

Come now, a little work is good for you.

[churchbelle]

[That's cute, but get more sleep. Hazel glances at Jae-Ha's arm - he's only partially checking for dirt - and hums, actually scooping up some dirt now. Look, he's working. Digging has begun.]

Keepin' up with ya is all the work I can handle. [you're work!!]

[razzledazzles]

I won't deny that I take some work.

[Dealing with him sure must be something else, he can agree with that. But now they're digging a little hole together, this is fun, isn't it? They're bonding, for real.]

But I'd like to think it's worth it. You must think so, too, with those faces you give me.

[Is he joking or does he think he saw a Face?? Unclear.]

[churchbelle]

[Don't call him out... And yet this isn't even the difficult part of dealing with Jae-Ha. (It's how dumb he is, trying to get into trouble. It's that part.) He frowns down at the little hole they are digging, suddenly awkwardly aware of everything his face is doing...

Stop, basically.]

Well, I guess I don't have to say a thing, since you're so sure.

[razzledazzles]

[Oh no, he's cute after all... What's up with him looking away like that? Jae-Ha only leans down and closer, right at shoulder level with a cheesy smile.]

You're always welcome to tell me, anyway.

[churchbelle]

[If that's what he's going to do, please... Hazel slowly slides his gaze over to him. Hmm.]

That's the sound of a fragile ego, I reckon. [This is the part where he reaches up and quite casually taps his nose with whatever soil is still on his hand. Hey.

But if Jae-Ha isn't busy Losing from this, he will go on,] You're a good man. I told ya, I like havin' ya around.

[razzledazzles]

[What... The touch to his nose gets a surprised blink before he laughs, quickly reaching with his free arm to wipe it away. He has to use his forearm for this...]

I just enjoy hearing you say it. But here you are, trying to tempt me to wrestle with you.

[Don't make him fling dirt, that's not beautiful. He digs a little more instead.]

[churchbelle]

[Finally... a point from the unexpected corner!! He's on the board.]

Keep that urge reined in, thank ya kindly. [Not in the dirt, gosh.] I'll tell ya that you're pretty again if I get to keep the dirt outta my hair.

[razzledazzles]

[Hazel should know he'd take that any day. Call him pretty!!]

How could I say no to that? [He wouldn't bother Hazel's hair, anyway. Hair is off limits for screwing around. And he likes his strange, unique color...]

Watch out. I think this should be enough, so let me try. [He's going to test this tomato plant in the hole in the pot first. It seems to be deep enough, so he takes it back out, and now he has to work at getting this thing from the pot into the ground. Fun things.]

What do you think so far? Not a waste of your day, I hope.

[churchbelle]

[Ah, so that's how it is. He should have guessed.

He puts his little shovel down and leans back on his hands, watching Jae-Ha go through this tomato plant adventure. He's probably not delicate enough himself to do the very sensitive step of getting the plant out of its pot without breaking it, so he'll just watch...]

I like your hair better down. [Jae-Ha asked what he thinks, so.]

[razzledazzles]

[That wasn't the answer he was expecting. Where does Hazel get off, surprising him with the lines Jae-Ha should be saying?? He hesitates just a bit with his handling of this tomato plant for it.]

"Down" as in not even in my ponytail? It's a shame that it would get in the way.

[While he was flying or fighting or anything, really. He needs his tied-too-tight ribbon. But anyway— he glances over his shoulder.]

That doesn't tell me anything about what you think of our garden.

[churchbelle]

[Well, maybe Jae-Ha's question wasn't specific enough, or maybe Hazel is just Like This. He leans more onto one hand so he can flap the other dismissively at Jae-Ha, like, don't be so picky. Mercy.]

It's all dirt to me at the moment. [And dirt on him, which is distracting and problematic, as well.] Ask me when the lil guys start growin' for real and I'll let ya know.

[razzledazzles]

You're so difficult.

[Jae-Ha can only speak this with amusement as he looks back to what he's doing. Shaking the loose dirt out of the pot, transferring it over... It's a sort of delicate process, yes, so he doesn't mind doing it on his own. They're still Hazel's tomatoes, too. He can't escape this responsibility.]

Even the dirt seems nice.

[churchbelle]

[Can't he just be responsible for looking at the tomatoes, or eating the tomatoes... That sounds way more his style.]

It's just dirt. I'll give ya that it's better on the ground.

[razzledazzles]

Well, yes.

[He likes it on the ground. Maybe he just likes nature in general? It seems nice to be outside versus inside, even if it's in this large temple here. Is it the lack of a roof? He's not sure.

He gently sets this plant into the hole, and then waves back at Hazel to help him brush the rest of the dirt to pack around it. A lot of the green is covered, but this is how you do it!] But I don't think it gave such a bad quality to your face.

[churchbelle]

[Fine, fine, he's here to brush dirt and give Jae-Ha Looks about dirt on his face. Stop this.]

Are ya blind now, on top of bein' a menace? Keep your dirty hands to yourself.

[razzledazzles]

Don't worry, your face is safe from me.

[For now, at least. But as they're brushing this dirt in, he's still going to pat the back of Hazel's hand as they finish.] You're surprisingly gentle.

[Is he just being like this on purpose? Yes.]

[churchbelle]

[Is it... is it safe. His hands clearly aren't safe, and he nudges Jae-Ha's away from patting him like that. Don't tease.]

I just don't want ya puttin' me through all this again. Don't think too much of it.

[razzledazzles]

Of course. We both know how this must be pure torture for you.

[All of those expressions definitely point to that. With this plant taken care of, he'll pull his hands back to himself after he's swatted away and shift to the next spot. They have a small variety of unique vegetables here, and each one might be a little different in planting, but in the end it's all "make a hole and put the plant in" so it's not too bad.]

[churchbelle]

There's truly nothin' I dislike more.

[But since he's a little brat, he's just tsun... Digging holes for however long it takes to get all of the plants put in is actual torture, though, and the moment he's done with the last one he tosses the little shovel down with a put-upon sigh, like this is the worst thing ever.]

Now this is powerfully tormentin'.

[razzledazzles]

It's no wonder you're so small, if that's how you think about something as simple as this.

[Lack of work might cause chicken arms, but does he have to bring height into this? Maybe not. That's fine, help him dig this next hole. Eventually he'll let Hazel do one plant all by himself as he does one nearby, enjoy.]
