[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!]

You’d be a terrible thief if you’re breaking into people’s houses to leave gifts behind. [.....actually doesn’t that practically make him Santa...]

It’s still embarrassing because I’m... [Not.... like... them?? It sounds dumb when she thinks it.]

[whereabout]

Maybe, but breaking into houses to leave gifts is a lot better than what I could break into houses for.

[ look ma he hasn't killed anyone in five years!! he did good ]

I doubt anyone's going to ascribe the wrong motives to any of this. It's fine.

[good_ideas]

[Okay, so that is kind of reassuring.



BUT AT THE SAME TIME!!]
What do you mean, “what you could break into houses for”? Why do you sound like a criminal? Are you a criminal?

[GASP]

You’re a criminal?!

[whereabout]

N...o?

[ Not...anymore? ]

[good_ideas]

You really need to sound more certain when you’re saying something like that.

[whereabout]

It's a moot point if I'm not breaking into any houses, isn't it?

[good_ideas]

I guess? It’s not like any of the houses have anything in them anyway.

[whereabout]

Well, the only sketchy behavior happening right now is me giving this to you, and that's only sketchy if you take it without context.

[ The context of "practically everyone is doing this because quest" pretty much alleviates any weird romantic undertones even before you factor in the part where he doesn't have eyes for anyone but Estelle. ]

[good_ideas]

You mean it would only be sketchy if I gave you way too much money for it.

[Besides, she’s a psychometer and she knows without a doubt that there are no weird romantic undertones for this flower crown.


Unless he was thinking about how cute Estelle would look in a flower crown while making it, but that’s entirely on him.]

[whereabout]

I don't think we have much of a black market for the local flora to worry about here, at least.

[good_ideas]

That’s true. None of this stuff does anything beside look pretty.

[whereabout]

We have some more useful plants around, but none of them are the pretty ones.

[ He's not sure how many people actually know which ones have the sketchy medicinal uses to begin with, honestly. ]

[good_ideas]

Useful if you want to poison someone, you mean? [Because they have irises and those are pretty poisonous, apparently. Not that she’s planning on poisoning anyone, but well, you pick up a few things when you go around questing for flowers to put on your flower crowns.]
