[action] Gardening (Backdated to Mother's day.....)

[demonqueen]

[Oichi has no idea what mother's day is, but she does like the proliferation of flowers it seems to bring. And having received one of her neighbor's trees for a Valentine's day gift from her not!husband several months ago, she has decided that she likes having flowers in the yard.

Which is why she's doing a little gardening today. Oichi can be found in two places.

A)Around town, collecting flowers. Which means that she is wandering in and out of shops, with shadowy arms picking up various flowers and holding them up for her to inspect. The ones she likes are retained, while the ones she doesn't are cast unceremoniously aside. But it seems that her current decision between petunias and mums. Which is why two shadow arms are holding the choices up in front of you.]

They are both such pretty flowers....

Which should I keep?

[ B) And later, back at 1668 Nelson street, Oichi is planting her new acquisitions. She making quite a mess of the yard, and giving little thought to placement or aesthetic. She seems to think that more is better. But she does seem to be in a good mood. Bother her?]

I'm glad you like them. I can get you more, if you want.

[demonqueen]

Oh.... would you?

[This is the best day she's had in..... ever, actually. ]

So many flowers... petals drifting in the wind.....

It will be.... lovely.

[To the untrained eye, he's really not much different than he is on a normal day. Oh well!]

We can stop by the flower shop. Have you ever thought about planting at your house?

[demonqueen]

Oh, yes! Lord Gilgamesh presented me with a lovely tree that was a spoil of his conquests.

[She means he just went to the neighbor's house, uprooted their dogwood tree, and gave it to Oichi. They are never getting this tree back.]

But it does seem lonely..... Perhaps the flowers can keep it company.

[keep_smiling]

Nice! We can definitely add some more to fill it up. Don't know a bloody thing about flowers, but I can figure it out!

[demonqueen]

I know very little about growing them...

But I was always very good at plucking them from the ground. And scattering their pretty petals on the wind....

[Sometimes she means actual flowers and sometimes she means people. The fun part is trying to figure which one it is at any given time.]

[keep_smiling]

[Good thing he doesn't know the difference.] Hopefully you'll only do that to flowers in the park, not the ones in your own garden.

[demonqueen]

Yes... I must protect the ones in my garden....

[Just in case someone invades, obviously.]
