Thank God It's... Valentines? Just party like it's a Friday!

Who: Other Father ([personal profile] otherfathering) and YOU! Anyone and everyone are welcome.
Where: the Other House backgarden, on the outskirts of Goldenrod and Route 34
When: Valentines Day Evening
Summary: In an attempt to keep people from needing to use their own lights, as well as having fun and letting his garden shine as it should, Father's hosting a garden party!
Rating: E? how do ratings work?
Log:

It was no secret that the Other Father loved to garden, and more as such loved his garden. If he wasn't working with music or children or working in general, he was usually to be found in the garden, planting some new seed, harvesting some strange berry, or pretty-ing up the place with lights and ornaments. With the complexity of the garden, one wrong placement could have made it cluttered; Other Father's placements made it look wonderful. Just like the Otherworld, the family garden was indeed a fantastic garden.

The family garden always glowed, but it struggled as it tried its hardest to grow over the neighboring lights of Goldenrod, never quite looking as beautiful as it should. Father was sure the garden was sad, just as he was that it couldn't fill its potential... and then the blackout was announced. The blackout in which most Goldenrod facilities and homes would turn off their lights and leave the skies dark, to dim their lights for a loving mating season of two marvelous Pokémon. And it gave him an idea. The blackout was optional, so if he were to host an open garden party, then those who attended wouldn't need to use their own lights! Let the garden glow, stop a couple of houses glowing! In his mind, it was a good deed that could work.

And so the garden had been set; the multi-coloured lights shone around the plants and berries and plastic bird-Pokémon, they draped over the branches of the living centerpiece that was the tree, its treehouse that the children had built sat alongside the net of tiny bulbs; they continued onwards and illuminated the performance area, draped over the speaker and around the microphone stand, the area that placed beside the BBQ (luckily not let lit) that still had no idea who would be its cook. Father and his little helpers had made sure the garden was perfect, just like his family and their home.

Tonight would be magical if all went well, and he sincerely hoped it would help the cause of love; there was never quite enough of that, especially on Valentines day.

((ooc; welcome to the party log! The log will be divided into sections as most group logs are. Post under the sections and generally party- or if your character is doing something special, just post a new section.

Have fun, and Happy Valentines!))

That actually did happen once! A jadeblood, the Dolorosa, found a mutant-blooded troll...we know him as the Sufferer. She raised him on her own. But that's really the only example of it in our history, to my knowledge.

[Clementine considers, and does her best to shelf her curiosity about the mentions of "jade blood" and "mutant blood" - that implies strongly enough that trolls also have different kinds of blood to satisfy her, and Aradia was willing to inform her basically where troll babies come from for goodness's sake, she's dug away enough with questions about trolls' biology for now!]

Even though I had my real parents for most of the time... I think I had something a little like a lusus, too.

...Is... "Other Father" a good one? ["One" being either "lusus" or "parent" as you will.]

I don't know him very well yet. But...John and Rose seem to really respect and like him, and I'm willing to trust their judgement is right. And so far he hasn't done anything to make me suspect him of untoward motives.

[ He's confusing, but not...well, actively threatening. ]
