[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!]

If you want information on that, you might want to ask Izuku, Kaoru or Shiho. They all went down their themselves and ran into trouble. So, it's safe to say yes.

The water is also unnaturally cold. It's difficult to deal with.

[awamori]

Okay, I'll be sure to ask around.

[Now Izuku sounds familiar, he made a note to remember Karou and Shiho. It would be good to know what's down there. It feels weird for him not to be able to see the water. Then again if there's something down there then it's probably a good idea if he can't see the water.]

The water is cold all over? I thought it was just the well.

[Then again it's not like he's going to be taking swim any time soon. If the water is still cold then maybe it has something to do with whatever is down there. It's hard to come up with something when he doesn't know what's there or if he should go by himself. He's always loved water since he was a kid so not being able to use it makes him question it.]

[swordfucker]

It seems like there are two types of water here. The water in the forest and springs are just fine, but in the harbor itself, it's cold and dark like you saw.

[He shrugs. He doesn't get it either!!]

[awamori]

[This town really keeps him guessing! He doesn't get it either, still he wishes that he could see the water at least. Oh well, knowing that it's there is fine too. He's learning more about the town in the process too.]

The water is different in three different places. Now I won't be surprised when I go to the forest or the spring. Not that I would go to the forest I heard it was dangerous. Is that where the pit is? I'm not going to go there. Are you going to the pit?

[swordfucker]

Already went. Don't go, or you'll have to either knock everyone else out, or get knocked out yourself.

[Fun stuff.]

Anyway, you're right. The forest is dangerous. Don't recklessly go inside for no reason. If you plan on going for a reason, I'd like if you could tell me, so I can arrange for a rescue if I have to.

[awamori]

[That definitely sounds like something Ryuu isn't interested in. He'll leave that for the others, hopefully they won't hurt each other too bad.]

If I ever have a reason for going I'll be sure to tell you. For now I'm going to avoid the forest and the pit.

[Ryuu finished another flower crown then placed it next to him before starting to work on another one.]

Hey, I was wondering how long have you been here?

[swordfucker]

Five months.

[Instantly, he knows this, resting back on his hands.]

[awamori]

[Ryuu hums as he looks for another flower for the crown in his hand.]

You've been here for awhile. How has it been since you've been here? How can you tell how much time has passed?

[Ryuu hasn't been able to get a good judge of time since he's been here.]

[swordfucker]

I've been counting the days. I mark it every day in my room.

[On his laptop, and on a piece of the wall, just in case the laptops get ruined somehow. He doesn't trust like that.]

Things are unpredictable. There are plenty of nice people here, but the things that happen to us aren't always things like making flower crowns. There are monsters in the forest, and probably in the water, too. This town can attack insecurities you have buried deep.

As long as you make friends with those around you, you'll be fine. We're all working on a way out of here.

[awamori]

[ooc: I'm sorry this is so late! I understand if you want to drop it and keep going with something new!]

[Sounds like something Ryuu should start doing so he has a better idea of how many days have passed. It's disorienting coming from always knowing the days due to his schedule to not knowing how many days have passed since he arrived here. Ryuu nods, listening along while he threads another flower in the crown.]

I've noticed that sometimes the water moves, but in a weird way. There are more things out there I'll probably see soon, though I'm not going to look for it. There are a lot of nice people here. This place can be scary, but I'm glad we have each other.
