he's great at this sort of thing you guys

[carbungle]

Vianca's gone back to wherever she's from, looks like. Somehow I ended up with the key for P&P...

I'll keep an eye on it when I can, but I'll leave the door open if anyone needs a place to chill, and you can borrow books freely. Use the sign out sheet and bring it back when you're done. If you wreck anything and just leave it that way I'll kick your ass.

Who's good with flowers? I'd like them to still be here for her if she ever comes back. I do okay with my garden but idk, want to be sure.

Am I... am I doing this right?

Hello?

Hi there, I'm Aerith! I'm so sorry for your friend. I hope she returns. But if you need someone to tend to her flowers in the meantime, I can help!

[carbungle]

yeah u did fine

ok that would be cool. ive got a few ppl offering so maybe we should have a sign up like "i watered them on x day"

too much water is bad for them right??

[ancientflower]

Well it depends on the plants! Some like a lot and some very, very little.

A sign up sheet might come in handy!

[carbungle]

uhhh god idk

theres a bonsai but i dont want to leave it here, think im gonna take it with me when it stops raining

theres some grass and white flowers

i dont know what flowers are what sorry

I tried sending her a birthday message and couldnt find her... I guess thats why

I dont know a lot about taking care of flowers but I can water em whenever I stop by if that would help?

[carbungle]

shit i missed her bday too god im the worst

idek how long shes been gone i just hadnt noticed her around my place lately & my dog led me here, he probably knew

i think water is all we can give them but im no expert. anyway that would help ya

[21kingpuddings]

I mean... none of us got to do anything for it anyway


I think there might be a book on gardening in P&P? I think I remember seeing it. I can look through it and maybe see if theres anything else we should do for them
but I will make sure they get plenty of water whenever I'm there

[carbungle]

wish that was as reassuring as it is depressing

shit tho ur probably right. i think i saw a book like that. maybe thatll help

[iustaegis]

I see Aerith has already volunteered for the flowers, but I can help, too, of course.

private

Would you mind a hug?

[ She feels she needs one, too. Vianca is someone she cared about dearly, and whose shop she appreciated. The last she had seen her, she had listened to her-- and in the year that she's known her, she's heard her voice grow so bold.

She hopes her voice stays strong in her own world, too. ]

[carbungle]

never do from you

action

[iustaegis]

[ She meets him at the Petals and Pages shop, chimes ringing as she enters. Quickly placing the chocolate-covered umbrella to the side, she spots him behind a shelf and walks over to him...

Pyra places a hand upon his forearm in the midst of him doing whatever it is that he's doing, whether watering a plant or reaching for a book. ]

Noct...

[carbungle]

[He turns when the bell chimes, setting down what he was holding and moving to meet her. He doesn't respond in any way except to immediately wrap his arms around her to pull her in for that hug.]

[daikonrose]

Thank you for confirming it.

[ She'd suspected as much when a hunt for the birthday girl a couple days ago turned up nothing, but... well, there's no avoiding it now, is there? ]

And thank you for unlocking the door. I'm not a gardener, but I'd like to help keep the shop clean, at least.

[carbungle]

thatd help thx

dont want to see it get dusty while shes gone, thats probably bad 4 books

[Or... something. It's a good enough excuse.]

[daikonrose]

Dusty books would be too sad for sure. If she's gonna come back, it should be to a cheerful place.

[carbungle]

yeah she would appreciate that im sure. gonna keep it clean and green

[pinkxeno]

P&P?

[carbungle]

Petals & Pages. it was her library/cuddle cafe i guess? books and couches and stuff

[pinkxeno]

That sounds really cute. I'm glad there is a place like that.

I don't know anything about flowers, but If you need help with other stuff, I can give a hand!

[monklookslikealady]

If you wish, I can help you if you want someone to run the book side, or just keep an eye on the store. I have plenty of time on my hands.

[It would give him something to do besides spend time at home.]

[carbungle]

eithers fine if u want to. it didnt take a lot of maintenance, and lots of ppl have offered, so i doubt u would have much work at least
