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

_{[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.]}

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!

_{[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.]}

Pick a number from 1 to 15.

Um. Seven?

Edited 2013-03-02 08:02 (UTC)

Okay, you get number seven.

Alright, then. Uh, what do you mean by that exactly, though? Seven what?

[No answer. But later, a knock on the door in her location.]

_{[Flora answers it, smiling.]}

Hello, Sollux! Welcome.

I got you something for your wiggling day.

[Less "got" and more "had," it's a crappy toy left over from the celebrations last month. It served no purpose to him so... regifting? You bet.]

Thank you! You didn't have to.

_{[Rude, Sollux. Even though she'll like it anyway, probably.]}

Wiggling? I'm guessing that's what you call birthdays where you're from, huh?

Edited 2013-03-14 08:58 (UTC)

Yeah. It's called Alternia, by the way.

Alternia? Is that a very contrary place? _{[Spoken like a native of a universe full of thematic naming.]}

And where does the wiggling come in?

Contrary to your planet of candy and sugarfarts, maybe.

Wiggling is what Wigglers do. Your human word for it is "baby."

_{[:| Sigh, and things were going so...alright too.]}

My planet isn't made of that at all. And I'm not human, but I understand your meaning.

Edited 2013-03-18 11:54 (UTC)

Do you look human? Do you call your babies as "babies"? Were you on Earth? Yeah?

You're human as far as I'm concerned.

We call our babies "babies", but I wasn't born on Earth, and even if I was, it doesn't make me anymore human.

_{[There's nothing wrong with being human, it's more that be's being rude and unfair.]</sub}

Edited 2013-03-19 23:09 (UTC)

Bipedal mammal with a developed prefrontal cortex and thumbs, capable of using tools and speak multiple languages.

Human.

Plenty of non-human people have or are most of those things.

Human-templates.

_{[Flora breathes out slowly. They're not going to get anywhere with this, and she wonders if he's only doing it to rile her up. She really is better about letting these sorts of things get under her skin, normally. With that in mind though, it's easier to switch tracks.]}

Sure, fine, human-templates it is. So what are you if not a mammal, then?

[He totally is.]

Insectoid.

Oh, I see! _{[It makes some sort of sense, given the wiggling thing. That must be some metamorphosis, if that's true, though.]}

I've never heard of trolls being insectoid before, that's pretty interesting. How so, though? You sort of fit the human-template aside from the mammal part, don't you?

Everything I said is the generic genetic standpoint of "Intelligent Beings." I dare you to find any alien here that doesn't share all of those traits, minus the mammal part.

[Further proof he was just trolling you earlier.]

_{[Sigh. At least she's learning.]}

Um...the dragons?

Are they capable of walking on two feet?

You know, I don't know if they all can, actually. There seem to be a bunch here.

They probably can, so it still counts.
