[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!]

Excellent!

[ she kneels down beside maribelle on the ground and digs into the little tote bag slung on her arm. inside are some pale blue colored apricots, from which she pulls out a few to offer maribelle. ]

Here, have some. They're fresh.

[troubadamsel]

What an unusual color... Although, that seems to be common here. Thank you, darling.

[withwisdom]

My pleasure. I received a box at my door earlier in the week. It's certainly not a natural color, but I braved a taste test and they're safe.

[ sometimes the best way to test possibly dangerous foods is to just bite them... ]

[troubadamsel]

Well, if they wanted us dead, I doubt they'd want to poison us now.

[withwisdom]

It's more like I thought they were rotten, or someone was pulling a prank on me.

[ there are some Characters in this town, she doesn't put anything past anyone. ]

Tell me what you think.

[troubadamsel]

Unfortunately we do apparently have our fair share of those...

[Sigh. But, pluck, eat, chew, swallow.]

... But this is guite good!

[withwisdom]

Excellent. [ she claps her hands, delighted. ] They do look like something out of a bad lab experiment. I wonder why the color is so strange?

[troubadamsel]

Who knows, in this odd place? Believe me, if I had my choice when it came to colors, my house wouldn't be that garish shade of yellow.

[withwisdom]

Aha, oh it's not so bad. At least you aren't in the ones that turned purple.

[ sorry purple house, you look awful. ]

[troubadamsel]

Even purple can be pretty, in the right way. Too much yellow can be blinding.

[withwisdom]

Hm. I wonder... the purple houses exist because a mixture of those with red and blue live in them. If you were to live with someone who had red or blue assigned to them, your home may change color as a result.

[troubadamsel]

... Really? I didn't know.

[Frowning...]

... Hm. I don't really care to leave my building... Tonbokiri is good company.

[withwisdom]

...I guess you can say it's the inside that counts in this case!

[ HAHAHA she's so funny, please laugh. ]

[troubadamsel]

[Zelda you're a dork. But that does get a snort out of her.]

True now, more than ever.

[withwisdom]

My apologies, I couldn't resist. [ even a snort is appreciated! ] Now then, do you feel ready to tackle the flower crowns once more?

[troubadamsel]

Yes, with a new vigor and confidence!

[withwisdom]

That's the spirit! I'll be happy to assist you - it's not as easy to do with just the flowers alone really.

[troubadamsel]

I'll admit, that is rather comforting to hear.

[withwisdom]

Did you ever learn how to make them? Most ladies I knew growing up did.

[troubadamsel]

Well, yes, but that's just it... I haven't done it since I was a child.

[withwisdom]

Aha, that's a more than fair point. It does fill up a lot of time for a child's day. But the good news is you have some knowledge, even if it's tucked away somewhere in your mind.

[troubadamsel]

If that's true, it must be buried underneath everything else I've learned over the years.

[withwisdom]

Then I'll help you unearth it.

[ that said she'll take some of maribelle's flowers and also give a bundle to her. ]

Let's do it together at the same time. I'm sure your muscles will remember the proper steps as we go along.

[troubadamsel]

I hope so... Maybe if Lissa were here...

[withwisdom]

[ Lissa - oh yes, Maribelle's friend. ]

I'm sure she'd be proud to see you try your best.
