I - [phone]

[She thought it was about time she made her presence known.]

It seems I'm still a florist, despite being in a different house...I really should learn more about flowers. I know almost nothing. If anyone happens to consider themselves an expert, I'd appreciate a few lessons, per se.

And Carrie...if you can hear this, please give me a call back.

II - [florist's, all day]

[Rider is bored. But that's an understatement. Because throughout her day, she keeps finding increasingly bizarre ways to pass the time. First it's just reading. Then she tries to arrange a bouquet of flowers into different patterns...including an odd-looking snake. At one point she's slumped over the counter, (seemingly) asleep. She can be "bumped into" at any of these times.]

[captainofthe10th]

[ An enormous armored man is peeking in at you through the window, Rider. What do? ]

[godlyreigns]

[ .........

............ ]

Hello, Garviel.

[greyerrant]

Hello rider. Are you all right?

[promfromhell]

[Wait...she knows..]


Rider?

[godlyreigns]

Mmm. Have you been alright?

[promfromhell]

I'm ...alright.

You're back...

[motheringnation]

[Also working.]

Bored?

[godlyreigns]

Moderately. [Poking a petunia in a pot.]

[motheringnation]

Maybe we should bring cards or something, for when there's nothing to do here.

[answerer_sword]

[Bazett looks a little guilty as she walks into the flower shop.]

Ah...what would be good...

[godlyreigns]

[Rider says nothing, assuming the woman is talking to herself.]

[answerer_sword]

[Finally, Bazett walks up to the front desk.]

Um...what would be a good boquet for Mothers' Day?

[Her mother is not here right now, not even as a drone. But Bazett still wants to get her mother something. It is a strange thought, and that is why she looks so guilty as she walks in the flower shop.]

[lettertomyfutureself]

I used to have this book about the language of flowers. But our apartment wasn't exactly prime gardening real estate, so I think I returned it to the library before...

... Well, before ending up here at any rate.

[godlyreigns]

Hmm. Do you think the library here would hold such a book? Knowing its gender bias, of course.

[lettertomyfutureself]

Sounds like a plan.

[encored]

[arriving just in time to see that odd-looking snake! it definitely catches his attention right away, but he stays near the door for the time being.]

My, that's impressive.

[godlyreigns]

[She jolts a little bit at the sudden voice, turning around sharply.]


Ah, I... [Without another word, she proceeds to rearrange the flowers into a nonsensical pattern, as though, yanno...there wasn't just a cartoony snake there.]

florist's;

[gandere]

[ It's a new day, which means it's time for a new attempt in asking Lancer out. The past week had been full of failed attempts with balloons and heartfelt notes of anonymity. It was time to amp it up a bit, the girl gathering up a bunch of flowers in arm as she storms up to the register. ]

Rider. I'm taking these.

[godlyreigns]

[She blinks a few times in surprise.]

I trust you'll put them to better use than these drone women. Enjoy.

[returntospring]

[Sakura is on her way home when she decides to stop by the shop Rider works at. When she notices the woman slumped over on the counter, she frowns, looking a little worried.]

Rider... are you okay?

[godlyreigns]

[She doesn't bother lifting her head up, so her words come out muffled.]

I am fine.

[After a few seconds, though, she raises herself up onto her elbows.] My apologies if I worried you. I don't have much to do while on duty here.

[not_so_great_wall]

[ It's probably normal for people to come in with a tote bag, or perhaps a cart, to carry their gardening supplies away.

But two carts AND two tote bags? Someone is here to do some serious shopping. ]

[godlyreigns]

[....blinkblink. Rider will peek up from the tip of her book, watching Meiling curiously.]

[adventurerextraordinaire]

[A handsome man with a rapier belted to his hip wanders into the flower shop. He was looking for Olivier, but is quickly distracted in his quest.
Upon seeing the lovely woman he has never met before, Cade leans on the counter with one elbow and flashes her his practiced flirty smile.]

"Well... hello there."

[His "seductive" emphasis on 'hello there' sounds... cheesy.]

[godlyreigns]

[Rider is the master of Pokerfacing. And that's just what she does.]

Can I help you, sir?
