OPEN ● the night breeze carries something sweet

WHO: Aerith and friends and YOU!
WHERE: Pretty much everywhere but mostly Nonah
WHEN: All through August!
WHAT: A big catch-all for Aerith and co.
WARNINGS: None yet; will update if this changes


1. All Porter cities!

[If anyone knew Aerith from her own home world, this would be a familiar sight. Aerith is standing around on a street corner with a basket on her arm, filled to the brim with flowers. It's August, so this month's selection includes gerbera daisies, irises, and her usual lilies and roses. She's stopping locals, mostly, who are more than happy to pay a bit extra to buy a flower from an actual import, and such a pretty one, at that. She'd made a point to dress extra cute today just for this.

Aerith will stop you on the street, too, and ask in her sweetest voice:]


Excuse me, would you like to buy a flower?

[Be careful, though. Despite all her frippery, she'll be charging people individually by how nice they are to her... and maybe using a bit of her own power of soul reading to be sure.]

2. Nonah

[A lousy hole-in-the-wall takeout restaurant in one of Nonah's less thriving neighborhoods isn't the place someone would expect to see Aerith. And yet, here she is. It's one of her usual hangouts, in fact. The restaurant is your typical greasy spoon, selling your usual selection of good ol' American traditional foods like overstuffed hamburgers, greasy fries, hot dogs, and sad attempts at salads. She loves it.

She takes her order of a burger, fries, and lemonade in its brown paper bag across the street to an even grittier looking area: a half-empty lot filled with gravel and dirt that may have once long ago been an attempt at starting a park. Now, instead, it's essentially a trash dump.

But something weird is going on here. Aerith sits down on a small concrete ledge, and somehow, it looks like she belongs there... It might have something to do with the grass and wildflowers that have bloomed only around where she's sitting. Weird, huh?]


3. Anything else?

[If none of these are hitting you, come up with something else and I'll roll with it. Aerith spends a lot of time in her garden outside Nonah 06 and sometimes she just goes out wandering porter cities alone. Or hit me up on plurk at [plurk.com profile] MahouShoujo or PM me if you want a specific starter!]

[Is it weird that Komasan decided to wear clothes despite normally being naked all the time? Donning the sunhat he normally sports for bug catching and wearing a ridiculous pair of oversized gardening gloves not designed for his paws, Komasan toddles out of N5 carrying a small tray.

Really, his balance is amazing, he doesn't drop a single thing his entire journey over to Aerith.]


I made lemonade, zura~!

[Resting ever so neatly on his tray are two glasses and a small pitcher. Seriously, he didn't drop any of it, and why wouldn't he? This is important. Now they can really get started.]

Option 1 De Chima - August 3rd

[personal profile] dirtyredneck 2016-08-03 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
[Daryl was nominally aware of where everyone on the street near him was while he walked. It was habit, tracking the movement, making sure no obvious threats got too close. He'd noticed the flower girl, too. Hadn't marked her as an 'obvious' threat, but had recognized her from their conversation a couple days before. He'd stopped and found a wall to lean against and watch her. Curious about her.

He'd stayed there for a good half hour, just taking in how she acted and interacted with the people passing by. From what he could tell off that, she seemed to be genuinely a nice person. All smiles even when people weren't looking.

Eventually the staring of locals towards him and the whispering got him to straighten up and head over. The person she was currently asking if they wanted to by a flower was shaking their head no, being polite about it. So Daryl stepped in between them and reached out to take one of lilies from the basket and give it a good sniff as he answered:]


Sure. How much?
blahblahboom: (surprise; I don't even know what to say)

1. Maurtia Falls

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-08-03 01:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Maurtia Falls is a pretty gloomy place, really. The locals tend to keep to themselves, Rita keeps to herself (unless she needs to make a Point about something) and that works out pretty well for all parties. Especially parties that don't particularly enjoy having their butts whooped by short teenagers with even shorter tempers.

It's not a place Rita associates with flowers or friendly overtures so when a lady asks her to buy a flower, it takes a few seconds longer than usual to comprehend the flower being held out to her. She stares blankly at the flower and then at the woman.

Rita carefully adjusts her bag full of books and eyes the woman a little suspiciously. Was she an import too? Probably. She didn't seem like one of the natives]


...flowers aren't my thing...

[She'll hear him before she sees him--and not just in the supernatural feeling his soul sense. Because there's the sound of an engine in the distance that slowly gets closer and closer, and lo and behold, it comes to a stop right in front of her, that motorcycle helmet coming off to reveal a familiar face.]

Hey.
monge: (🍦|| Here comes a special boy)

[personal profile] monge 2016-08-04 10:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Mm...

[Now with his hands free, Komasan takes this time to look over their work space, trying to get a good feel for what they should be doing. Gardens don't just magically make themselves.

...Unless you're some kind of flower youkai...

...because then they do...

...but he's not one of those...

After a few seconds of just staring at the empty yards, he nods his head and throws both his arms out to the side, sending one of his gloves flying in the process.]


Both is good. Do both yards, zura!
dirtyredneck: (Happy (06))

[personal profile] dirtyredneck 2016-08-04 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
[He met her eyes and stared for a long moment, then snorted like he thought she'd just said something very stupid. Talking once didn't mean 'knowing' each other, not to him.]

Whatever.

[Daryl put the lily back and reached out to take one of the daisies instead, other hand digging cash out of his front pocket. He took a quick sniff of it, nose crinkling as he pulled back from it. He forgot how bad they smelled that close. Pretty to look at, though. Simple.

He handed over a few crumpled bills, then lifted the daisy up.]


Three of these.

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-08-05 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
Not unless you can get me one that says "stop trying to mess with my experiments you clean freak."

[But uh, she has a feeling someone will yell at her for being rude so she shrugs lightly]

The only fri--person I know that likes flowers isn't here anyway.
blahblahboom: (neutral; what is that even)

[personal profile] blahblahboom 2016-08-06 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
[Rita shrugs, fiddling with her bag. Well, she feels kind of bad for the lady so]

If you want to make sales here, you should probably get better at making stuff up.
dirtyredneck: (Neutral Amused (2))

[personal profile] dirtyredneck 2016-08-06 01:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Daryl's entire body stilled as his eyes moved to meet hers. His lips pressed together hard, fighting the urge to twist them into a smile. But the crinkle around his eyes gave his amused feeling away pretty easily before he forced his eyebrows up to stretch the skin and keep his expression as 'innocent' as possible. Like he hadn't noticed her ire at all. As he did so, the lines of his body relaxed again and he shifted his weight from one foot to another, reaching out to take the two flowers.

He shook his head.]


Nah. Don't matter how stinky they are, they ain't for me.

You know, like "buy a flower today and your wish will be granted." Or something. Nothing too sappy, no one will believe that.

[MAYBE NOT WITH THIS CROWD]

Hey, I don't know anything about the weirdoes here but these people probably appreciate it.

[[Daryl leaned back as she leaned in. The ghost of a smile he'd had evaporated as his eyes widened just a little and he blinked hard a couple times. He was more than a little weirder out by the - in his mind - sudden jump in conclusion. After a moment or two of blinking in confusion and surprise, he shook his head and looked away, down slightly. Shoulders coming up defensively as he answered in an indignant tone.]]

No.
dirtyredneck: (Neutral Stare (01))

[personal profile] dirtyredneck 2016-08-09 04:52 pm (UTC)(link)
No!

[[Daryl didn't judge when it came to that, either, but he still took a lot more offense to the probing suggestion than it really warranted. His shoulders twitched like he wanted to bring them up more and knew he couldn't because it would just give her more to make assumptions about.]]

Ain't for nothing like that. The hell's wrong with you?
