[OPEN] Flower gleam and glow

[windeity]

WHO: Everyone in the Town
WHERE: The community garden(s)
WHEN: Anytime in August
WHAT: Flower crowns! Teach each other to make flower crowns, exchange them with each other, succeed in questing
WARNINGS: No



[At any point during the month you may come across the community gardens in the Town and see a couple of different set-ups.

For one thing, someone created a sign painted with purple paint that reads "FLOWER CROWNS HERE."

For another thing, there are bushels and bouquets of different kinds of plants and flowers that have their color restored that have been gathered.

And finally, there are smaller slips of paper that read "RED", "YELLOW", and "BLUE."

At least once a day people passing by the garden will find John sitting there and monitoring the situation. Anyone who approaches will be greeted with a large grin and a wave.]

You saw the forum, right? I thought we could all make this a little easier on each other.

[Grab some flowers and some friends! Questing has never been so easy.]

[ooc: Hello! For ease of use to complete quest 23, this is an open log that people can consolidate and thread with each other! Please feel free to label in the subject what color your character is, thread out making and gifting crowns to each other, and have fun!]

[pursestrings]

Oh-- seriously? C'mon man, do I look like a flower guy to you?

[He grows flowers in his bedroom window and he still acts like this. Honestly, he actively leans down so Izuku can reach him while he talks, and he still acts like this...!! Please, cement his flower boy status, he deserves it.]

[inheritance]

[Just because Izuku can be shy a good amount of the time doesn't mean he's above gently teasing his friends when the opportunity presents itself. Like now.]

Would you be asking that if I made them from sunflowers?

[There's an amused little smile tugging at his lips even as he places a lily and peony flower crown on Okuyasu's head.]

[pursestrings]

[Wow!!! Luckily this just gets Okuyasu to scoff at him good-naturedly. Nerd.]

That's different. And they'd be too heavy.

[He knows all about the giant properties of sunflowers, which are the best flower, because they are huge. Okuyasu Official.]

Thanks anyway. You shoulda seen the one I got before-- pretty much fell apart the second I got it.

[inheritance]

That's true! It's too bad... they're such a bright color. [Izuku tilts his head, suddenly perking up.] Hey, you grew a lot of them, right? Do you still have any seeds left?

[Oh no, that poor flower crown, though.]

Ah, it did? It looks like a lot of people haven't made these before... well, it's the thought that counts!

[pursestrings]

[A yellow wants a bunch of sunflower seeds?? Playing to type, Izuku.]

Yeah, I got a couple... There's like a billion in the flower part, you can have one. I got tons.

[Which, speaking of, actually--] If we get a shitload of seeds again from doing this, I'm gonna riot.

[inheritance]

[Immediately, he beams.] Thanks! I'll grab the seeds from you later.

[He gives a little laugh at Okuyasu's outburst though.] I don't think it'd be so bad if we got seeds. Um, it would help if we could choose what kind we get, though. We could always ask for more fruit or edible things for the garden.

[pursestrings]

I want seeds that grow a whole cooked dinner whenever I want. If that ain't it, hard pass.

[Are you listening, Mr. F!! Instant meals only!! Okuyasu wants TV dinners, essentially.]

[inheritance]

[Even Izuku sighs wistfully.]

I wouldn't be against that either. The banquet they had for us last time was nice. [Katsudon!! After so many months.. it was as good as he remembered.]

I still have some junk food from the portals, if you want something. It's not the same as a whole cooked meal, but... [It's still different than what they have here!]

[pursestrings]

[Finally, an understanding. Food is life.]

You got any chicken nuggets?

[he needs to give them to lupin]

[inheritance]

Nope... just some stuff like chips and cookies.

[Basically things that would keep for a bit longer. Alas.]

Something like chicken nuggets would have gone bad pretty fast...

[pursestrings]

You serious? Your boyfriend's a walking freezer if he wants to be, you could've had a thousand chicken nuggets stashed somewhere.

[This is a critical missed opportunity and you both should be ashamed.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku looks startled at first, and then remembers--oh yeah, Okuyasu had been the one Shouto talked to about the whole thing before he confessed.]

I guess it's true, Shouto's ice cold've helped keep it fresh. [He's still unsure how long it would've lasted in the kind of heat they had at the time, though.] The next time I see chicken nuggets, I'll save them for you.

[pursestrings]

[Yeah, you're welcome dude. Enjoy that relationship.]

Thanks, I gotta see if Lupin says something weird about 'em like he calls everything biscuits when it's not biscuits.

[inheritance]

[Thanks, dude. You're a real friend.]

Biscuits? [Izuku's brows scrunch together in confusion.] Aren't those supposed to be some kind of bread?

[pursestrings]

Yeah, like... flatter cakes. [that is a cookie, he's just described a cookie, thus negating his WHOLE point--] But with more bread!

[inheritance]

[Izuku tilts his head now.]

Flatter cakes? [At this point, they're probably going to forever be confused about "biscuits" and what they actually are.] I wonder what they taste like... more like cake or more like bread?

[pursestrings]

[Biscuits are very mysterious... They need an American to counter Lupin's biscuits.]

Bread, for sure. Gotta be bread or they'd just be cakes.

[inheritance]

[Biscuits: the true mystery of Chroma.]

What has Lupin-san been calling biscuits, anyway?

[pursestrings]

Cookies. You remember when Ochako made a bunch? Then when we were all doing the money goose thing, he started talking about how I can't eat ten biscuits 'cause I'm spoiled or something.

[It's all illuminated.]

[inheritance]

No way! [Izuku actually looks indignant on Okuyasu's behalf now.]

If Ochako-san's the one who made them, that means you can have as many as she gives you! [Why is he getting so worked out about this?]

[pursestrings]

[Well-- that's a swerve. Sure? Yes? Okuyasu also loves freshly baked Girlfriend Cookies, cool!!]

Uh- hell yeah! I had a bunch. C'mon, Lupin's not my dad.
