[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!]

[John, please, no bullying. Laughter is bullying.]

Hell yeah, I don't need a bunch of these sitting around. Come get one, it'll bring out your eyes or whatever.

[windeity]

I'll make you a deal. [Oh no. Please ignore the shit-eating grin as he summons up his own flower crown.] Trade me. You can do whatever you want with mine afterwards but if we have to exchange anyway we may as well get it over with. You are definitely worthy.

[pursestrings]

Oh. I thought you were gonna make me do something hard.

[Making a deal... it sounded so serious!! And then it was just dorky.] Yeah, alright. I guess if I'm taking this dumb quest seriously, you're up there on my list, too.

[windeity]

The whole point of making this station was to make this as easy as possible, don't worry! But we should maybe take this as serious as possible. [He wiggles his fingers a bit.] Hold still. [And the crown immediately goes on Okuyasu's head. Alas.]

[pursestrings]

[Oh, and there's his crown, instantaneously-- Okuyasu earnestly tries to look up at it on his own head, fails, and lifts his own crown to deliver before pausing. Hmm.]

Oi, is it more or less serious to, like, kneel and stuff?

[Okuyasu and Dave should not be left alone.]

[windeity]

[What a pal. But John's blinking in surprise because that's something he didn't consider and also somehow he's not even sure he should be surprised.]

Prooobably more? Isn't that what people do when they're like knighted and stuff by royalty? They kneel.

[And while he's not a knight, he's an heir and he figures it's close enough. So down on one knee he goes.]

[pursestrings]

Royalty, huh? You can call me Prince.

[The artist formerly known as Okuya$u grins, and leans forward to knight Sir John of Nerds with his almost-mediocre flower crown. Tada!!]

There you go, dude.

[windeity]

You'd be the second prince I know. [But there's a grin as he looks up to admire his new crown.] Sweet, thanks dude! Just what I've always wanted.

[pursestrings]

[Hmm yes his crown is of superior quality, he knows...]

Wait, for real? A real prince?

[windeity]

[...there's a very slow smirk.]

Yeah, didn't anyone tell you about Dirk Strider?

[pursestrings]

Dave's... [what the fuck is homestuck] something-or-other? The guy who talks to haunted dolls is a prince?

[windeity]

Brother, technically. And yes, he is a prince. Prince of Heart, specifically.

[pursestrings]

Technically, sure. [He sort of knew this, kind of. There were some context clues and other Serious Talks.] Tell me there's not a place called Heart.

[windeity]

No, but there is a place called Derse where he is a ruler. [Sort of. Probably. Technically.] You could ask Dave, too. He'd know.
