<span style='width:100%;font-weight:bold; font-size:10px'>Out of Character</span> <table class=ooc><tr><td> 35 Mia (Winter), 81379 At the Janardian greenhouse, at 11:00 in the morning. Eldasia Khanum 33, Female Biology Teacher/Contestant NPC Mr. Naramias Jones 67, Male Professional Landscaper/Judge </td></tr></table> Eldasia shivered slightly against the cold as she dashed towards the greenhouse. Because of the sub-terran nature of her place of employ, the plant show that she was attending was being held in the greenhouse, which happened to be across the rather chilly courtyard. Underneath the teacher's coat was a plant, held close to her body for warmth. It had been named "Babs" by one of her students. Though rather undignified for a plant of the super-top-secret nature that she was carrying, it had stuck. Finally through the door to the greenhouse, Eldasia stopped shivering and checked in at the table set up at the front. She was assigned a table on which to put Babs, and given a packet of rules. She flipped through them, noting that her plant was not, among other things, allowed to have teeth, harm the judges, or bloom in particularly lurid colors. It was also not allowed to spell, speak, or be associated with obscene words. Eldasia wondered why that rule was in there, and then decided she didn't want to know. Eldasia set Babs on the table, with her name on a tag in front of the pot. The top of the plant was covered in burlap sacking, hiding the treasure within. It was not to be revealed except to the judge, a Mr. Naramias Jones. However, Eldasia was not considering this when she left her poor plant unattended as she left to get some tea.
Civthik Rhondon, a biology and herbology teacher walked inside. His stumps shivered slightly from the cold as he stepped inside with a large potted plant hovering slightly behind him. He signed in at the table and placed his plant nearby Eldasia's plant. He noticed it was covered with a burlap sack and made no move to touch it. He turned to his tree/plant in the pot. He looked over his Falsarr tree and noted happily that there were a few fruits on it making it much more appealing.
