Quote: The Wishing Tree (2) : Your wish is only said to come true if you grant the wish of someone else; when you write your wish, you must also take one off of the tree and do your best to grant it. What wish do you pull off, and how do you intend to ‘grant’ it? Do you work with someone else to grant this wish, or do you work alone? You may get approval from another player to use the wish their character hung up, but no names are attached so your character may not ever know who wrote it!

It had taken Mi-Hi much longer than she would have liked to get down to the park, the unfulfilled wish on the orange paper that she had placed on her small bedside table on arriving home from her visit to the wishing tree a daily reminder that if she wanted her own wish to have a chance at coming true then she would first have to do her best to grant it - but in between work and her studies she had often felt too tired to add litter clearing to her 'to do' tasks and the wish had therefore ended up staying on the table–
But tonight was going to be different! Because tonight was the night that she was planning to finally grant the wish that she had taken because she finally, finally had the next day off from work and figured that she could spend her evening doing a bit of litter clearing.
She had spent some of her afternoon preparing what she needed - some snacks, a thermos for the tea she as planning to carry, a bottle of hand sanitiser and a few pairs of disposable gloves and then she had pulled open the bottom-most drawer from the chest of drawers so that she could grab a couple of pens and found herself hesitating as she came across the clover-topped henshin pen nestled inside.
She'd placed it there after the encounter at the fairy fountain, had made the decision that she was going to stop carrying it around with her, had figured that shutting it away would help her forget about it - and in turn forget about Sadalsuud - but she thought that she'd stuffed the henshin pen at the very back of the draw - not at the front where it would be the first thing that she saw when she pulled the draw open before even the cute glitter pens that she had been looking for so that she could write a small message of her own to say that the wish was now complete after she finished fulfilling the wish she had taken–
And she still wasn't quite sure why she had scooped up the henshin pen in addition to the glitter pens, but she hadn't put it back - had added it to the bag with everything else and then as the afternoon faded into evening Mi-Hi had made up some tea and added it to the thermos before adding it to the rest of the items that she had packed up and then after a trip back to her room to pick up the wish she had made her way purposefully down to the park.
The park had been quiet when she reached it, although it was perhaps not particular surprising given that it had been dark-proper and the park lanterns were all lit.
Mi-Hi settled her bag on a park bench and reached in to grab a pair of disposable gloves and then found herself pausing as the light glinted off the henshin pen that had somehow managed to get jostled to the top of the bag on the trip over.
Perhaps that was why after a few moments of hesitation she had eventually ended up powering up and started clearing the litter as Sadalsuud rather than as Mi-Hi as originally planned, although she had switched the long black gloves that were part of her senshi outfit for the disposable ones and left them next to her bag as it was no point in getting them dirty.
There hadn't been any nearby auras - at least none that she could pick up on - and there had been something peaceful about being alone in the quiet park and eventually Sadalsuud had found herself relaxing and humming a tune that she (or rather Mi-Hi) had heard played a few times as she carefully worked on collecting discarded soda cans and crisp packets together before walking over to deposit them in a nearby trash can.Kyuseisha no Hikari Apologies for the wordy start Kyu, it kind of ran away from me - let me know if anything needs changing

The humming was enough to draw Jett's attention; he was enjoying a late night stroll--really enjoying it, not powering up and pretending to be out to enjoy the night. He hadn't intended to investigate, at first. He was a curious creature but someone seeming in the middle of the night was either them minding their own business or up to no good. He hadn't meant to catch a flash of color out of the corner of his eyes and recognize that he knew this person; he might have been keen to leave her be if he realized he had no idea what she was doing.
For a moment, he lingered, and then he caved; curiosity got the best of him and he powered up in to his Eternal form, weaving through the trees and over to the Senshi.
"I was going to leave you be," he announced as he approached, "But I can't help but wonder what you're doing."
It wasn't like he was against it, he just didn't understand it.
"You have a lovely voice, Sadal. I never knew."

She had been doing a good job of granting the unknown person's wish - well at least Sadalsuud thought that she'd been doing a pretty good job–
And this particular section of the park certainly seemed to be looking a little tidier.
She reached down to pick up a few more cans and a discarded sandwich box before straightening and making her way back down the path towards the bin and made a mental note that she was probably going to have a find a new trashcan even as she methodically started discarding the collected litter.
The sudden flare of aura went unnoticed, as Sadalsuud contemplated perhaps pausing to take a break once she was done with this batch of litter.
A cup of the tea that she'd brought would be nice, she mused - and whilst it would mean pausing to wash her hands - she was going to have to pause anyway in order to source out a new and less full bin.
The sound of the voice took her by surprise, the hummed tune dying away as she fumbled the the final can that she had been in the process of dropping in the bin, causing the can to hit the edge of the rim of the trash can before dropping to the ground with a clatter.
And it was a familiar voice for all that the last time that she'd seen the approaching blond had been a few years back.
"Mr Pri.." Sadalsuud hesitated for a moment, as she vaguely remembered that he didn't want to be called Prince before settling on "Mr Rem."
She reached down to snag the can before awkwardly dropping it back into the bin.

"Always such formalities, Sadalsuud. Just 'Remarque' is fine," he said, but it was out of habit more than anything else. Old habits were hard to break, and he was glad enough that she wasn't calling him 'Mr. Prince'.
He watched her as she moved, noting the awkwardness of her last movement.
"It's good to see you. It's been a while. It seems like you've been keeping busy, but..."
He planted his hands on his hips as he examined what she was doing.
"I have to ask, what's this all about?"

Sadalsuud wasn't sure how to respond to that, because Remarque was the Prince and using just 'Remarque' seemed awfully informal given that it wasn't as if the two of them really knew each other that well–
And for all that it had been a while since Sadalsuud had last seen the taller blond, it seemed that old habits died hard.
It was also true that she'd been keeping busy over the past year or so - she just hadn't been doing so as Sadalsuud.
She turned after depositing can in the bin and absently brushed off her hands
"I'm working on the wish that I picked up from the tree" she admitted as she awkwardly gestured in the direction of the bench where she had left her bag and by extension the wish that she'd picked up from the wishing tree, because it wasn't as if she had any real reason to hide what she was doing.
"The wish-writer wished for there to be less litter in the park."

Remarque tilted his head a bit and considered her words. He wasn't much for traditions like these, but he suspected it was only because he'd never really been introduced to them as a child. It didn't seem like such a bad thing--trying to make the city a better place. His girls didn't understand the purpose really, they just liked all the pretty decorations.
He made a soft, contemplative noise as he looked in the direction of the tree and then nodded.
"That's a good wish, then." He glanced up at her. "...As long as I'm here, I might as well help. If you wouldn't mind? I'd love to catch up."

"Uh" and it sounded about as awkward out loud as it had in her head–
But Sadalsuud was finding hard to picture the idea of Remerque wanting to voluntarily hang out in the park and help her pick up litter just so that she could fulfil an unknown person's wish.
"Okay Mr Rem" she said at last after a few moments, hesitating before gesturing vaguely towards the park bench where she had set her bag as she continued "I er have some spare disposable gloves over there - that is if you want them."
Truth be told Sadalsuud wasn't sure if they'd even fit,but she made the offer anyway and the gloved were supposedly of the one size fits all variety so there was a chance that maybe, just maybe they would "There's some hand sanitiser there too."
And whilst she wasn't really sure what there was to 'catch up' on given it wasn't as she was particularly active in the court anymore, it was true that a second pair of hands meant that she'd be able to fulfil more of the unknown wish writer's wish.Kyuseisha no Hikari Apologies that this took me so long Kyu

The uh wasn't particularly welcoming, and Remarque tilted his head a bit as he waited for her response. When she gave confirmation that his help was acceptable, he nodded. He wasn't exactly interested in picking up trash, but he spent so much time trying to plan what to do when this world failed--it didn't seem like such a horrible idea to try and give it a little boost every now and then.
He went to her bag and fished out the disposable gloves, slipping them on before returning. There was no point in sanitizing his hands now if he was only going to get them dirty; he flexed his hands in the gloves and, when he was content that they didn't tear from that alone he began to pick up some of the trash lying around.
"I don't get out and do things like this much," he mused. "I'm always busy. Work, the Court, the family. What about you, what do you do when you're not powered up, or granting wishes?"
