[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're so picky, you probably only eat gourmet wet food. [ Like a spoiled puppy.

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.

[let all of chroma see that pasty white boy skin crowley

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!

[ Excuse me he's a 230 in the Fenty Beauty Foundation, thank you.

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. ]

[osuni]

[She will happily accept a crown acknowledging her persistence, that’s like giving her a reward for #1 most annoying. A treasure only Okuni can appreciate.

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......]

[eusford]

[ It sits awkwardly on his head, yes, but he doesn't seem to mind or take notice when he straightens his back. Thinking about it... it doesn't lead to a response that comes from nothing; his brain recognizes it as a gift, something special.

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.
