2nd Bloom ❁ [Backdated to the morning of March 1st -> Video/Text/Action to those showing up]

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[The feed opens up to a room with pink walls with plush, very comfortable looking couches, as well as more intimate looking tables and chairs for two or three. Everything is clean, immaculate, and cozy. It then shifts to show flowers, many, many kinds in bouquets of different sizes, already in vases, corsages, wreaths, and other sorts of arrangements.

Flora appears in front of them all with a sunny smile.]</sub>

Hello, everyone!

Spring hasn't arrived yet, if it ever really will in the way I'm used to, at least, so I thought why not try to make a little of our own? The flowers are free to absolutely anyone that wants them. Even if it's just a for a short while, I hope you can take a little of spring with you and have brighter days.

_{[The feed then moves to display all sorts of cakes, treats, and teapots before she appears again, scratching her cheek a little bashfully.]}

Oh, and um, it's also my birthday today, so if anyone wants anything here, please, feel free to help yourself. You're quite welcome to stay a while, too, if you like. I'll be here all day.

Farewell and see you soon, perhaps!

<sub>[The feed cuts off. There are directions provided in text. And if there was any doubt as to which building it is, it's got flower baskets hanging around the door of it, window boxes, as well as potted plants to either side of it.

And around it.

...and down the pathway.

Yeah. So. Shouldn't be too hard to miss.]</sub>

[showmeyourwreath]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it. :D

_{[Asuka, Asuka, does this mean you care, maybe. Asuka.]}

How are you, though?

[Staring. Staring.

Eyes narrow.

There is cake. But that means he'd have to leave his room. Decisions.]

...

Okay.

[Video]

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Oh, so that's what he looks like? A little different from her own trolls. She smiles, very genuinely.]}

Wonderful! I'd be very happy to have you here.

_{[The cake beckonths]}

[concealingeyes]

Whoa... That's all really nice. You did all that yourself?

Oh, and even in a place like this, I hope you have a good birthday.

[audio]

[showmeyourwreath]

Awww, thank you. That's kind of you to say. And yeah, I did this myself. It's not all that much, but I hope some people can enjoy themselves. Feel free to stop by if you like.

[ ... Oh, Sayaka remembers this girl. She hadn't been in the best of moods the last time they talked (texted, whatever), but maybe she can make up for it now. ]

Flowers, huh... [ wow she's good at this intelligent reply thing. ] Uh, happy birthday! I might drop by later, if that's okay.

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh, thank you, Sayaka! It's lovely to see you. _{[Flora smiles brightly.]}

Yep, flowers! And it would be more than okay, it'd be fantastic.

video.

[graciousness]

Those are beautiful - I have seen flowers sold in the marketplace but not as pretty. Have you grown these?

video.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Flora glows at the compliment and smiles.]}

Thank you! That's so nice of you. I would have more, but it's been really...difficult trying to cultivate anything, so far. I'm working on it, though, and hope people will like what I have to offer in the meantime.

[action] aww yiss

[He's usually a little out of it in the morning -- not exactly a morning person, and he hasn't had coffee in an obscenely long time; actually, it's been so long it's too depressing to think about this early.

It's probably due to this and the rain that Kariya ends up neatly planting his foot into one of the pots on the pathway -- he hadn't noticed at what point the plants started popping up. The oversight is going to cost him a shoe, considering how muddy the rain's made the soil.]

... Ack.

[So, not only that, but he put the good leg in there. It's going to take some maneuvering to extract himself...]

[aaaaction] Yaaaay!

[showmeyourwreath]

[Flora's inside, arranging more of the flowers, when a distressed cry from one of the potted plants echoes in her mind, and she's outside and by the source, momentarily.]

Oh, dear! Are you alright? Here, let me help you there.

[He's very right to assume that. With this rain, there's bound to be some suction happening. She moves to raise a now glowing hand, and his shoe and the space around it begin to glow as well before the soil shifts and is lifted away so that he might free his foot much more easily.]

Aren't *you* the one who's supposed to receive presents on *your* birthday?
You shouldn't have to give gifts out (lolol)
Ah, but that aside, happy birthday! :)

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh, but I want to! Who doesn't like flowers and cake? Especially in this sort of climate. It's just so dreary.
Thank you, though! :D
But, say, if you're going to talk about me receiving gifts, you could always give me the pleasure of your company, you know! ;D

_{[She's teasing, mostly. He's of course free to say no.]}

[theboywhodied]

Huh. Aren't you supposed to receive gifts on your birthday?

assuming teeext

[showmeyourwreath]

Normally, sure! But I'm not expecting anything from anyone here.
Besides, the most important thing to be on your birthday is happy, I think, and if I can make others happy, I can call myself the same. :)

[reassures]

Do you have any flowers that haven't been cut yet that you would be willing to part with?

[ text ]

[showmeyourwreath]

I could probably get something for you, if you wanted one, yes! Did you have a favourite? :)

[video]

[blossomgale]

Wow, the flowers are so pretty!

[ And Sophie has never really celebrated a birthday before. She observes the video as it shows all the food sitting on the table. ] It's your birthday? Are there always cakes and treats on birthdays?

[video]

[showmeyourwreath]

They're very glad you think so! Would you like any? And I've never heard of birthdays without them! Have you never had any on yours?

_{[THIS SOUNDS TRAGIC AND AWFUL. :c]}

[So Elmer just shows up, because he's a terrible busybody and hey, open invite for free snacks! He doesn't come empty-handed though - he's carrying an old and beaten violin case with him.]

Hi there!

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[Busybodies are totes allowed, so come on down, Elmer. :D

Flora is busy delicately rearranging some of the vases when she looks up and smiles.]</sub>

Hello, there! Welcome!

action. (sorry for the late)

[onlyasong]

[Who could resist an offer for cake and pastries? Lacie, for one. It isn't so much she's a glutton for sweets, but if they're offered then why not?

No reply had been given to the post itself, but it just hadn't felt necessary. The best things happen in person, after all. Soon enough, she arrives outside the door, opens it and then steps inside.

...Wow, this is a lot of flowers. Lacie can't help but look around at them all.]

DOUBLE SORRY FOR MY LATE. /wins....no orz

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Flora looks away from the vase she's arranging when the door opens.]}

Hello there! See anything you like?

[skennen]

... Where did you get all those flowers?

[showmeyourwreath]

I grew them!
