New town and life

[Otaku Gal]

"I'll take Mina downstairs to the lab to work on something to protect the garden, since that is the one thing that keeps saving our mortal butts." Ryu said as Mina finished and began walking back towards the door. "I'll activate the security as well, since I don't think any of us plan on leaving anytime soon."

[arukae]

"Ya i think most of us are still wore out from the fight" Josh stated.

[Otaku Gal]

"Very true." Ryu muttered as Mina walked in.

"Did I miss something?" she asked, looking from Josh, to Ryu, then back again.

"No, not really." Ryu told her, putting his arm around her waste. "You and I are going down to the lab to figure out a way to protect that charming little garden of yours though."

"Oh, ok." Mina replied, going with him as he led her out of the kitchen.

[arukae]

Josh knew to keep his mouth shut so he went back to lay down a for a bit and regain some of his strength.

[Otaku Gal]

Elliot and Itchigo woke up some time later and noticed the security was activated and the door in the back that led to the lab wasn't fully closed, so Elliot made some food and Itchigo went down to the lab. When she reached it she heard Mina and Ryu.

"I'm telling you, I'm not sure who it could be and without that information it's nearly impossible to devise a security measure that will be sure to keep the garden safe." Mina said.

"Then do something generic, but if we don't make sure that garden is safe then we're all going to fail." Ryu told her. "Your garden and your skills are the only things that have kept us from dying recently. Do you really want to put the others at risk?"

"No, but if I don't have all the information I need I could miss something of great importance." Mina sounded close to tears and Itchigo had to think fast. She quietly ran back up to the lobby, where everyone else was still sleeping, and woke Arukae.

"Arukae, Arukae, please wake up." she said quietly.

[arukae]

"What is it now" Arukae said as he was abruptly woke up.

[Otaku Gal]

"I think Mina may need your help. She's down in the lab with Ryu, trying to find a way to protect her garden." Itchigo explained. "I think something bad may have happened to it..."

[arukae]

Arukae got up and walked sleepily down to lab to see what is going on that he missed.

[Otaku Gal]

Mina and Ryu were sitting at a desk, looking at some readings on the computer. "I still don't have a clue who poisoned the garden, or even how!" Mina exclaimed. She turned her chair around and rolled over to where a pile of the smoldering leaves were.

[arukae]

Arukae saw what was going on and knew what was going on and needed to get back to his place. For he had more plants and antidotes from his world and human.

[Otaku Gal]

Yavanni woke as he was leaving and followed him.

[arukae]

Arukae hurried grabbed his bad and an assortment of herbs, then went straight back to the lab and told them they were doing this all wrong.

[Otaku Gal]

Mina looked at him. "Arukae, do you know what's going on?" she asked.

[arukae]

"Its him who is causing this, I know how to stop this too. I'm gonna need a few days though." he said as he pushed this aside to prepare the antidote.

[Otaku Gal]

Mina and Ryu looked at each other. "Him who?" Mina asked Arukae.
