eenentwintig - Blooming

[gezellig]

[It's been pretty much impossible for the not!family to get anything out of Holland lately.  He's been refusing to tell them where he spent that week or so, or the fact that he spent it as a half-rabbit, half-human monster.  Once his appearance had mostly returned to normal, he'd gone home, leaving the drone family whose house he'd more or less hijacked.

It wasn't so much the fur or the ears that bothered him; it was more the craving human flesh that led Netherlands decide to keep on the down-low during all of that.  No, the fur and ears had been fine, even if he still hadn't been able to talk to his rabbit.  

As curious as you are not!family, he's not spilling.  He might still get the occasional, painful urge to turn to cannibalism but it only lasts for seconds.  Occasionally, he'll chew on a straw or two of hay.  Mostly, he's been sleeping; Holland is clearly an even lazier rabbit than his own pet.]

A - [1447 Mitchell Rd]
[locked to notfamily and anybody who wants to visit the house on Mitchell Rd.   Notdad is sleeping in the back-yard, just sprawled on the grass.  His pet rabbit is happily sleeping next to him.]</small>

B - [Event: Blooming] - the next day
[1447 has received a Pitcher plant that Holland immediately sets on the kitchen table.  Feel free to approach.]

C - [Event:  Blooming] - around town
[Holland will be visiting with some non-effect inducing tulips.  Particularly he will be visiting if you are someone who has irritated him, gotten on his nerves, or even hurt him in some way.  Thanks to the Pitcher plant, he'll be giving you a positive greeting and expressing how much he likes you in the best way he can.  By thrusting flowers in your face, and possibly sweets or a plush.

No hard feelings, right?]

[ooc:  Feel free to run into Holland with your character whether he likes them, dislikes them, or they have never met him before!]

Comments

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

[Well look who it is Holland. He is just...kind of staring at the flowers, amused as hell. But he'll reach to take them anyway.]

My my! What a considerate gesture. You have my thanks, of course.

[gezellig]

You're welcome.

[And he's just . . . not quite ready to leave the Major's company yet.]

It's a nice day.

Nice enough for things. . .

[Awkward. . .]

[sturmbahnfuhrer]

[Well. That isn't very...explanatory, but the Major does indeed agree it's nice enough for "things". He raises an eyebrow a minute, amused.]

It is indeed!

What kind of "things" might you have in mind?

this is horrifying but wonderful. . .

[gezellig]

Lunch or. . . the park. . .or downtown.

[And this is what he's like with his friends. Good thing he doesn't dislike The Maj--

Oh.

But no, thanks to the flowers, he's firmly convinced this is normal and fine.]

C - Around town. This certianly will end well.

[imbodytemp]

[Mesousa, noticing Holland walking around, will walk up to him smelling of mint and wearing as sultry a look on his face as a rabbit can get.]

Hey there Dutchy-boy? How about I finally call in that promise of a little bit of sugar you wanted to give me.

[Wink.]

Indeed. . .

[gezellig]

[Slowly, and wordlessly, handing Mesousa a piece of chocolate. . . .]

[imbodytemp]

This is pretty nice by why don't you come down here and let me give you a little thank you gift in return~

[gezellig]

[. . . and he will just as slowly bend down, staring at the rabbit with an expression that might even be more stoic than usual.]

C; /adds to the pile of horrible things

[encored]

[NOPE

NOPE.

he's already had to deal with crazy people left and right today, as soon as whatever silly gift Holland has is all up in his personal bubble, he's pushing it away and holding a hand out very firmly.]

Go back to your house.

[gezellig]

[Holding. Them. Out.]

[encored]

I don't want them.

[gezellig]

Don't you usually like them?

[Either he's just making things up, or the flowers have really gotten into him deeply.]

C

[kinship]

[Cain is not affected by anything, but he IS going around town observing those who are with a little notebook to record the findings.]

Good afternoon, Holland!

[gezellig]

[It's a wave, maybe a bit stiff though.]

. . . hoi.

[kinship]

[He doesn't notice, it's not like Holland isn't usually taciturn anyway.]

How have you been?

[gezellig]

No better than normal.

[And he will not ask how Cain is in reply, though he typically would. He'll just give a slightly irritated sigh.]

C.

[likesottlyfab]

Holland! Nice tulips.

[Smiles up at him.]

You know if I had a garden, I'd totally put your tulips and my tulips together.

beautiful

[gezellig]

[Oh, hi Poland. ]

. . . you have tulips?

[likesottlyfab]

Of course! Like everyone does silly. [Giggles cutely.]

Yours are looking kind chapped, you want me to apply some of my lipgloss?

B and oh I decided to give her the petunia effect /solateI'msorry

[mounties]

[Canada had been out extra early, doing some errand or another, but now she was back, carrying a grocery bag and with both her bear and moose in tow. She hadn't thought anything of dropping to smell a flower display earlier, but the apathetic state she'd fallen into meant that maybe it hadn't been such a great idea after all.

At any rate, her usual polite and oh so fond smile is absent as she greets Netherlands.]

Oh, hello. Those are nice.

[gezellig]

They do look nice, don't they?

[He's polite, but it's clear he's not making any effort past that.]

[mounties]

Mmm.

[The plant doesn't actually hold her attention near long enough for her to accidentally get a whiff of it, but just goes about putting her few things away, then idly cutting up a piece of fruit to feed Moose a treat.]

I was sort of thinking about gathering the kids up early so we'll all have dinner tonight, unless you had plans? It's almost like a holiday, after all.

pitchered as well!

[bridezilla]

[ Nena has both chocolates, a tulip and a pink plush! But something about this is off. Didn't she last talk to this person telling them to get lost?! ]

This is so nice of you, Holland! I don't have anything to give you back though! Well, no, that's a lie. I think I have something! Wanna come inside? [ TOO BAD. YOU ARE. She's turning around and heading back in expecting you to follow. ]

Re: pitchered as well!

[gezellig]

Sure.

[Of course he does! Why wouldn't he want to spend time with the girl who shot his house windows out and made him drive her around when he was brainwashed. He'll follow her.

Why not. ]

[bridezilla]

[ Nena walks into her home with a bounce in her step and a particularly delightful hum. She walks up the stairs, with her feet still pattering against the stairs. ]

I know exactly where I can give you a gift, it's in my room! You'll really like it! I designed it just for today! [ Surprise: It's not actually a cupcake! ]
