[The feed flickers to life.

Terra is sitting in the greenhouse that stands next to the flower shop. She's wearing a kind expression while warmth and happiness reflect in a pair of bright azure blue eyes.]

Hello everyone, for those who do not know me, My name is Terra. I had arrived for a second time a month or so ago and have slowly been regaining my memories of this place. I'm happy to say that I've remember a lot now and I'm now working at the flower shop in Attleton, Jardin Verdoyant, which is where I worked the last time I was here. [She's excited to be taking care of flowers again.]

I hope to re-open the shop in Genessia as well but that will come in time. [It had been a smaller shop but it had gone out of business in Terra's absence.] Since it's spring, I'm also looking for new breeds of flowers to grow and sell. I'll be exploring all of the cities and sub-archways but if anyone sees anything please let me know.

[Terra's smile widens.]

My last announcement is about the prom that's coming up in a month from now.

I've been told that corsages are commonly wore by women and then men wear boutonnieres. [She doesn't know all the details about the tradition but it sounds like fun.] I'd live to invite everyone to Jardin Verdoyant within the next few weeks to place an order for that night. I already have a few made. [She shifts the screen to show a few lovely arrangements.] But if you'd like a specific kind of flower I'd like to make sure we have it and can make it for you.

That's all. I hope to hear from you soon!

So much stuff to keep track of. I don't really get American traditions...

[Guess who didn't spend a lot of type dressing formally.]

Are you going to that prom thing as well?

Is it American?

[She has no idea what 'American' is but he assumes that it's a place.]

I'd like to go but I don't know yet. [Terra will probably go but she feels herself wavering for some reason.] Are you planning to go?

As far as the one girl said anyway. Never been much for formal stuff too.

But yeah, I plan to go, mostly for food. Usually people bring dates to this thing too, so care to go with me?

[Might as well leap at this chance, he thought.]

[That's interesting and also the first time that Terra has heard the word 'American' before. She wonders what it means exactly but will probably ask Dave later since it doesn't appear that Demi-Fiend knows either.]

As a date?

[Terra feels her cheeks flush a warm rosy hue.]

I um... I had told a friend that I would go with them. If I do go but... if I go- [She's totally going to be there.] Maybe we can have a dance? It might be fun.

No worries. And sure, I wouldn't mind a dance.

[Luckily he hadn't really thought too much about dating anyway; doubted people would take to him unless they possessed an odd trait.]

I will look forward to it.

[Her lips spread into a warm smile.]

Would you like me to bring you a flower for your jacket?

Oh definitely! Doesn't matter which one. Trusting your judgment.

[Because he knew basically nothing about flowers.]

Okay.

[She pauses thoughtfully.]

I think... the flower depends on what you are wearing. Do you know yet?

We gotta be sure to ask what the fuck they're wearing so it compliments it. I don't want anyone coming out of here with bad fashion flower choices.

[Terra smiles.]

I will. I thought it'd be fun if people were able to match and if we're unsure we can always prepare white flowers. [White feels like is a safe color.

She pauses and her smile grows a fraction of an inch wider.] Does this mean you like the idea? I thought it'd be a good way to bring in business.

[Plus she plans to make most of the arrangements, that way she isn't bothering Dave or the usual store traffic with the event.]

I'd try to at least match the dude's tie but that works when there's nothing else.

It's a good idea but next time you gotta put the advertising at the start of the post instead of at the end to immediately hone in that marketing.

[Terra nods her head in a decisive bob.]

Yes. I'll do that.

[She's happy to accept all of Dave's pointers when it comes to advertising. It's something that he's far more skilled at.]

Hello, Miss Terra. My name is Era. It's good to see there is no shortage of botany lovers here.

I would like to request a small bouquet for the fifth of May, if possible. The centerpiece being an artichoke, main accent pieces of blue thistle, and filler using whatever small white flowers and miscellaneous foliage you have available for it.

Thank you.

Hello Era, it's very nice to speak with you.

I'd be happy to have this arrangement ready by then. I believe I have all the pieces though I should check to make sure. I'll also have to give you a price after it's gathered. Most custom orders are close to twenty red bills but I do not know how hard an artichoke will be to procure. I do not grow those here but there are local farmers and I can send out inquires today.

I know I acquired an artichoke recently for my upcoming ceremony, so it's entirely possible it is still within my inventory. I shall have to check.

[ and a follow-up message a few minutes later: ]

Unfortunately I do not. [ she probably ate it... stuffed artichokes are delicious. ] But artichokes are currently in season so hopefully it won't be too difficult to acquire one.

I shall save a minimum of twenty currency for you, unless you can take some payment in the form of seeds. The only kind I have on my person that are likely unique would be ones that grow into elemental crystal shrubs, and while they make for a fascinating garden they make poor bouquets.

Aside from that I have seeds for variants of lilies, roses, and lavender from my world of origin if you've any interest in them. Perhaps with crossbreeding they might provide more resistance to certain diseases or weather conditions for the native species.

Please do not worry. I should be able to find it.

[Terra will find a way.]

I'd be happy to take payment in the form of seeds or if you'd rather make that a separate transaction. I'm unsure of the differences between the seeds in your world and what is here but I can also show you what I currently have.

Perhaps you can teach me something I do not know.

I should be able to afford paying in standard currency. At a later date we can meet and compare what flora you have here to what seeds I have on my person, if that's acceptable.

Yes. That would be perfect.

[She's excited to talk to someone about different breeds of flowers.]

Shall I contact you again closer to the date?

[ she hasn't met anyone else with a real interest in them since she last was at the botanist's guild, so she is also quite looking forward to their meeting. ]

Yes. However I won't have it assembled until the requested date. It'll stay fresher that way. If you have a desired time you'd like to pick it up please let me know and I'll have everything ready by then.

The day before at any time would work fine for me.

[ she'd rather not have her wedding bouquet weighing down her mood longer than necessary. ]

I'll have it ready by 4pm. Is that alright?

Yes, that is perfectly fine. Might I have the location of your shop?

I will send you specific instructions but it's in Attleton.

I look forward to completing our transaction.

Me as well.

I will see you soon.

Those looks really nice Miss. Can I place an order too?

Of course!

Do you know what color your dress will be for the evening?

Uh huh. Black and white. It sort of looks like a suit but more of a dress.

I see. Do you have a date? If so, are they wearing any other colors?

[Terra notes that the young girls eyes are blue and grabs a note pad to start writing down her ideas.]

[A... date? He just, sulks, trying to keep a cheerful face, and failing hard. Can Terra see the gloom and darkness around him?]

I'm... afraid it's just myself.

[Why does it hurt saying it too!]

That's alright.

[Terra smiles softly.]

I will pick an accent that matches you eyes.

[That makes Bridget smile.]

Thank you miss! I can't wait.

[Terra nods her head.]

It'll be ready the day before the prom. So feel free to pick it up anytime between then and 2 pm on prom day. I'm afraid that then I'll be getting ready myself and I might not be here.

I'll be there on time.

Oh!

And can I make one more request? Can you make one for Rodger too?

Yes but who is Rodger? What will they be wearing?

Just a tie. He likes it like that. He's-- ah hold on.

[He pulls a stuffed bear in front of him, resting his chin on top of the bear's head.]

This is Rodger.

He's cute.

[Terra smiles.]

I'll make sure to make something that matches you both.

Thank you very much miss! He would really like that too.

Ah, you know a thing or two about flowers..?

[ahem---] A-Are there any... easy-to-care-for flowers?

I do.

[She really likes flowers.]

There are but it depends on a few things. Will it be an indoor flower? What kind of lighting is available. [She's sure that she can find something that he'd like.] You can also come into the store, I'd be happy to show you different breeds.

Well... It's for my apartment. I do have a windowsill...? I'd like it to be nearby, anyway, so indoors.

I know enough about trees and plants, but I've never taken care of one without magic... [And he's still very flustered to be thinking about this at all. Uai is considering that if he dotes on a literal flower in Genessia, he can curb his grief over his girlfriend 'Hana.']

I have a few breeds here that are able to thrive in that environment. If you'd like to stop by you can take a look at them.

[She also doesn't mind potting them for him and writing down care instructions.]

Is that really okay? I, uh. I can stop by, sure.

[Ugh, so embarrassing. He's not used to stuttering and fumbling with his words. He's supposed to be more put together than this!]

I'm Uai, by the way.

I'm Terra. It's nice to meet you Uai.

[She smiles sweetly at him.]

Let me know about when you'll stop by. I'll get everything ready for you.

Th-thank you...

[Oh gosh. That stutter was embarrassing. He's averting his gaze again.]

I'll try to come by tomorrow, if that's acceptable?

Yes. I'll be waiting for you.

[The stuttering was cute.]
