[OPEN] Flower gleam and glow
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!]

. . .Is that a side-effect from old age? [damn. . . maybe it's a trade-off. maybe Crowley keeps his Youth in exchange for his Happiness.] But if you don't have any emotional feelings -- then why are you trying to make a crown?
[what is this, the okuni inquisition... anyway here she is, scooting closer as if she's planning to ask 20 more questions.]
no subject
You could say that, yeah, but if I remember correctly it all started slipping away around my first century. [ -- of being a vampire. ] And it's because it seemed easy enough to do, and gave me an excuse to ignore this really bossy guy for a couple of hours as long as I look busy.
no subject
[She's almost impressed, that there exists a person bossy enough to even make extremely old people free of emotions want to avoid??? She's not sure why he's making crowns instead of hiding in a bush somewhere to avoid Bossy Guy, but her attention still switches from Excavating Crowley's Motives to Looking at His Crown again.]
If all you want to do is look busy, then you can just tear up some more flowers. But if you're interested in learning, [however much he can be, Okuni supposes. But she's too curious to leave him alone now.] then I suppose I can show you.
no subject
[ And listen... this Bossy Guy makes Gramps work and that’s the last thing he ever wants to do. Plus he deserves a break after being stuck with The Most Annoying Immortal Being Ever for eight hundred years.
Putting her offer into consideration he thinks it over, briefly, before slowly nodding his head and allowing the torn flowers in his hand to drop. ] I’ll probably be yelled at if I keep messing things up, so I might as well learn... though I don’t know how I feel about you of all people being my teacher.
no subject
Isn't it fine as long as you feel something? [Okuni picks up a bunch of new flowers and holds them out for Crowley to take.] I'll just teach you how to make them. You can make yours as pretty as you want for your friends, or whoever you think is worthy.
[She was just about to add GRAMPS to that, but Okuni catches herself -- while also making it obvious that she was just about to call him gramps again. She holds up a flower with a long stem and starts wrapping the smaller flowers around it, idly.]
Hey, if I can't call you gramps, then what do you want me to call you?
no subject
[ Because it won't work! He only knows how to be somewhat entertained and incredibly bitter, there's no in between (there is).
Taking the flowers from her hands, she actually says something that has him pause with thought. She may even see the light bulb flash above his head as he realizes: ] Whoever's worthy... hm. [ Because he doesn't have friends. That's his fault, though. ]
Crowley Eusford. Crowley rolls a lot better off the tongue than gramps, don't you think?
no subject
Crowley Eusford? [it's a weSTERN NAME, Okuni's not used to that...] Crowley... Crow -- Kuro-oji-san? Kuro-jiji?
[anyway yeah ur welcome crowley, u can get a weeaboo af nickname now.]
Kuro-chan sounds fine too, I guess. [YEAH!!! yeah...] And I don't know about making it a personal goal, but it'd be interesting to try every now and then!
no subject
But in response to receiving one, he only blinks once slowly before he sighs. ]
I'm not gonna stop you. [ He doubts he'd be able to, anyway. This woman seems to go at the beat of her own drum, and he's far too old to attempt to disrupt that rhythm. ] Right, right, but if you're going to stick around for a little bit that means you should also introduce yourself, y'know.
no subject
She holds out her flower-threading process more closely to Crowley so he can see,]
I'm Okuni Kumou. And I won't let you down now that I have your blessing, Kuro-jiji! [it wasn't even CLOSE TO A BLESSING....] Now, hurry up and pay attention!
[time to tutorial this like a YOUTUBER, basically Okuni being helpful, while also making a lot of unnecessary comments that aren't helpful. so basically youtube.]
no subject
Okuni. [ He repeats, experimentally, the name rolling off his tongue easier thanks to him being familiar. White man in Asian countries tosses ons in the trash tbh. ] Okay, okay... wait, slow down. You're not even making sure I'm ready.
[ And you sure as hell know Crowley can't keep up with whatever the fuck is going on but he's trying okay?? Honestly the random comments she spouts out don't even manage to break his concentration, as he keenly listens to what she has to say between whatever trivia facts she throws at him. ]
You're seriously like a puppy.
[ Whether or not that's a compliment is questionable though. ]
no subject
Hey, can't you think of a better example than a puppy?
[She's immEDIATELY ASSUMING THAT THIS IS AN INSULT, because what else is there]
Put some creativity into it! Call me a scorpion! A demon! [She'll teach him the last knots while yapping away at least...] You're super old, so you must have seen all kinds of animals in your lifetime. Which one was the most annoying?
no subject
You're neither of those things. [ The first person he thinks of when he imagines a demon isn't anything like her -- at least, that's what he's hoping. ] You're like one of those tiny puppies who like to jump all over everything, tear up the pillows, and just be an absolute menace for the sake of it and later tilt your [ stupid ] little head like you did nothing wrong.
[ But most annoying... that's a good question. ]
I guess if you're forcing me to choose it'd have to be a boar.
no subject
She's so called out that she flips one of her earwiggy flowers at Crowley... it might hit him in the chest or something since he's so much taller than her, but an effort was made.]
I don't like that either! [not even the promise of being compared to a boar can sooth her ruffled feathers... NEITHER OF THOSE THINGS ARE FUN!!!] I'll admit to being a menace, but I'm the sort that owns up to it.
[maybe 50% of the time]
Anyway, if I'm a puppy, then you're like one of those old fat cats who like sitting around the village and can't be bothered to do things other than sleep and eat.
no subject
Well it hits him in the chest and falls into his jacket. Thanks, that's staying there because he's not undressing in front of anyone. ]
... Okay? You're not wrong. I kinda wish I could live a life like that now, cause everyone will feed me and I won't even have to put much effort in that. [ He's paying more attention to the flowers in his hands that have been braided into crown, thanks to her help -- so it's far from perfect but it's not... ugly. (And hey, it's red! So it matches her aesthetic.) He extends his arm and neatly places it on top of her head. ] Speaking of, I think I deserve a nap after all of this.
no subject
Okuni makes a noise that's a cross between offense and also confusion at being crowned... She's genuinely caught off-guard by the gesture. She thought Crowley would wander off and crown whoever he's trying to avoid, or maybe just rip the flowers apart again and say "oops lol"
Instead, he crowns her. . . suspects that this is also because she's right in front of him, but maybe u can judge someone worthy out of convenience??? that could count]
You only made one crown and you're already tired? You really are old.
[She takes a firmer grip with the crown she made while teaching, then motions with her other hand in a 'come here' sort of gesture]
You're too tall, so bend down for a second!
no subject
His reasoning is as simple as that: she's in front of him, so it's better to extend this much effort and get it over with instead of going out to search for someone else. Though if asked he would comment with the fact that she's at least worthy enough to be recognized as someone who is ridiculously stubborn -- not unlike a boar, despite her never wanting to compared to one. ]
It's been a long day, plus the sun makes me tired.
[ Blinking thrice, he's a tad taken aback by the fact that she's beckoning him down. ]
The problem isn't that I'm too tall, you're just too short. [ But he still bows his head despite saying that. Ugh. ]
no subject
Crowley is still ridiculously tall even when bowing his head?? But Okuni makes up for the distance by getting on her tiptoes, reaching up to gently set the lavender and lily crown on Crowley’s head. It’s a little big, so it might get a little lopsided when he straightens up but for now, it looks nice against his red hair.]
Here, this is for being interesting. [WORTHY!!] You can do what you like with it, but it’s funny to think of you sleeping out here with it on.
[She bursts into giggles at the imagined sight of Crowley, the centuries old pointy-eared Sleeping Beauty, tanning out in the sun......]
no subject
Gross. What the fuck?
He's gonna pretend that didn't happen. ]
Well I'll have you know that I'm doing just that, thank you. So if you don't mind I'm gonna go find a tree to sleep under.
