[On the feed, you can see a pretty blonde girl staring at the screen. She's brushing her long hair with one hand, reaching to poke around on the screen with the other.

Finally, she lets out a little sigh, and mutters:]

Same shit, different day, I guess.

[She'll finally look directly into the camera, now, and put on a bit of a smile as she continues brushing her hair.]

So, it looks like I'm one of the few people whose age didn't get screwed around with. Anyone else out there?

So, where do all those flower meanings come from?

[ino]

All kinds of places! There are a lot of myths that explain where they came from that relate to the meanings. But the color also plays a part, too. I've also noted the meanings can vary by country or world, though many of them have some things in common, at least.

[she's much more excited and into the conversation, now. flowers, the girl loves 'em!]

[He can tell, so he'll keep her talking for a little bit to pass the time.] A what flower's meaning to you like best?

[If it's true love he might just laugh.]

[ino]

My favorite flower is the cosmos. It means "harmony".

[not quite as cheesy as true love, but close!]

[strategic_guile]

Harmony is a thing we all strive for. I rather like that choice, but I'm not sure what a cosmos flower looks like.

[ino]

They're pretty distinctive! They come in a lot of different colors, but they usually look something like ...

[she'll draw a simple version of this into the tablet]

This!

[He looks at the picture and nods.] True, I've seen that type before.

[He sweeps the picture into a folder with a finger.] The universe contained in one flower.
