[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!]

[And that bit of humor is what has Shiho deciding that if this is what Kaoru wants to do, this is what they’ll do even if Kirishima pops his head out that well.]

Well...... then someone should make a speech, right? [Which is really more of an excuse to complain about him?]

[queenofminiskirts]

We can both say something!

[But before that, she looks pointedly at your hands, because Shiho, there are established conventions for these things.]

[good_ideas]

[With an unsubtle sigh, Shiho copies the motion with her hands.]

So. Now what? Do we start with a “dearly departed” speech?

[queenofminiskirts]

I think that might be taking this too far.

[She's laughing though.

Once she has that under control, she closes her eyes.]

Ei-chan. I'm really glad we got to be friends. You'll always be really important to me but I'm not going to cry anymore. So don't worry about me, okay? Be the best hero you can be, I'll always be rooting for you.

[good_ideas]

[Great, now you’re making her sad.]

Kirishima-san. I don’t really think I knew you that well other than the fact that you’re kind of rude and you think it’s funny to scare me for some reason. But... Kaoru-chan likes you. That means you can’t be that bad.

But if you make her cry even if you’re in another world I’ll come and make you pay for it.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She can't help but smile because...yeah, that's about what she expected from Shiho.

In their own way, they really had gotten along too.]

Now, we'll have a moment of silence.

[But not a very long moment because Kaoru's is impatient.]

[good_ideas]

[Shiho doesn’t expect it to last very long, but she complies anyway. She seriously, sincerely closes her eyes for that moment. Rest In peace, Kirishima.

Or you know, live on in peace?]

[queenofminiskirts]

Amen.

[Then she walks forward, picks up the flower crown and drops it into the well.]

Thanks for doing this with me, Shiho.

[good_ideas]

[Shiho watches, quiet for a moment before she comes up to stand beside Kaoru, looking down into the well.]

...You're welcome.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She reaches out and takes Shiho's hand.]

I'll be fine. [And she is too, it can be easily read from her.]

[good_ideas]

I know. [But she’s still going to worry about her anyway! Shiho squeezes Kaoru’s hand.]

[queenofminiskirts]

[She leans in close.] I love you, Shiho. Even if it's selfish, I'm glad you're here with me.

[good_ideas]

[Don’t make her poke you in the forehead!


It’s too late, she’s going to do it. POKE.]

It’s not selfish. I want to be here. We’re best friends, aren’t we?

Dummy.

[queenofminiskirts]

[She laughs when she's poked. Then she throws her arms around Shiho's shoulder.]

We're more than just best friends! We're a team.

[good_ideas]

[Shiho knows exactly what her reply is to that as she grins right back.]

Of course. Always.
