>> Jay: Trim the Roses

[First Guardian]

Your name is JAY. It's a nice day in the GREEN. You have just finished your MODERATE EXERCISE. Next you will TEND TO YOUR GARDEN. You know the IMPORTANCE of keeping the plants IN LINE while they are GROWING, and you will ENCOURAGE them to grow the RIGHT WAY when you have to. You also know when to CULL THE WEEDS if problems persist. You have a BORDERLINE UNHEALTHY OBSESSION with RULES, which your friends have gotten to know decently well. Speaking of friends, you have appointed yourself as a LAW BRINGER of sorts, creating a LARGE LIST OF RULES to keep your FRIENDS both SAFE and IN ORDER. After all, it's a DANGEROUS WORLD out there.

"Beautiful. Now the next."

SNIP...

"And another. "

"Such dreadful unwanted blemishes to such amazing beauties." Jay looked at his last rose as he set the clippers aside, the one that never seemed to fail him. "And you... the best of them all, the one that never strays of its course. "

He caressed the soft red petals as he smiled, before turning back to head inside. However, he heard a sudden buzz as he quickly faced the other side of his small, neatly kept garden. It was full of beautiful plants, many of which had earned their rewards, and even after death, he kept an image of their prime glory in a small book. But now, they faced a threat. 

A stray beetle happened to be buzzing around his garden, and it was quite clear which one was its target. His precious, loyal rose. He would not stand for this. By his side his fists were clenched in utter fury and justice. It was times like these that life was held in the balance.
