How can I care for another being when I can't even care for myself?
Who: Blacky, Vinnie
What: Blacky sucks at raising things
When: BOXING DAY.
Where: Vinnie's dorm
Warnings: EVERYTHING IS DRAMATIC
Blacky was not cut out to be a mother. Or a big sister. Or the owner of a simple plant. Luckily for Casca, she'd been able to send him off to someone who could take care of him before he even hatched. Gamera and Melanie, unfortunately, were stuck with a very inept caretaker for the time being.
Gamera had come down with the flu just as Blacky got over hers (she probably passed it on to him), and she could swear the bonsai tree's leaves were looking more wilted than they did the day before. Was it possible for a plant to catch the flu too? No matter how hard she tried to push it out of her mind she kept thinking of the aquarium she had in her office last year, and how everything in it had gone belly up. Everything kept dying.
Vinnie knew plants. He was a plant. Partially. Since he was the one who gave her this particular plant, he was definitely the person to go to for help. It was also a bonus that he was on the same team as Marie, who just so happened to be a Squirtle. Maybe he'd have some tips for taking care of Gamera until Raiden came back.
Or else she was in big trouble.
So she grabbed the plant, left Gamera in a nice warm bed watched over by Leon (so she hoped) and practically tore through the campus to the boy's dorms. It took all her self-control to knock delicately on Vinnie's door instead of pounding on it. Hopefully he was actually in.

DO HO HOappreciation of them. Perhaps it was time for that to change."...Everything. I'd like to know how to keep i-- keep her from dying."
Come to think of it, taking it out into the cold on the way here was probably not the best way to start. And then she'd have to do it again on her way home. OH NO.
