♥ 7th Flower Picked

[floralogy]

[Voice | Action for CH 1]

[Taking a break from her usual ikebana therapy, Ino's currently busy sorting out her wardrobe. Ever since most of her clothes got soaked by the storm during those fateful days, she has been carefully restoring her closet of her chosen outfits. Today's no different. After breakfast, she stopped by the clothing store and is now back with some shirts and skirts.]

I never thought a year worth of clothes is hard to replace! [A groan. Storing away her brand new clothes, she fishes out one familiar pair.] Good thing I saved my clothes from back home. Well, at least, some of it.

[A thoughtful pause as she continues to fix her wardrobe.] But wow, a year, huh? Never thought I'd be in this place that long. I guess with so many things that happened, time flew by so quickly.

Sure this place had given us a lot of headaches but it also gave us - or at least, me - a lot of good friends. [And a boyfran.] Hard not to think of that when you're complaining. [A snort, followed by the sound of someone trying to close a cabinet.]

You guys know who you are or do I have to send bouquets? I mean if that's-- Hey! [Oops, looks like someone just slipped trying to close her now full cabinet. With a huffpuff, Ino rolls her eyes.]

I think I'll need a bigger closet.

[Action]

[Generally, Ino will be out and about in the village today. She can be seen in the clothing store eyeing these sort of clothes. She's also looking through a bunch of shoes that are in another corner of the store. She may or may not buy these things. Also, one might also see her searching for a new cabinet. Feel free to bug her if you so wish!]

[Within a minute of the post being made, there is a knocking at her door.]

Ino-san! Flowers will not be necessary!

[Action]

[floralogy]

[... Okay, she's just recovering from having such a small closet when she heard the knock on the door followed by his voice. What even, Lee.]

Lee, is that-? What are you doing here? [Wait for her to stand up and greet you properly by opening the door.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He waits diligently, having sped over from his and Neji's room.]

I came to respond to your message in person, Ino-san. I want you to know that I do not require any compensation for my friendship! Such generosity would be unnecessary.

[Voice]

[keepitcanine]

You can send me a pretty bouquet any time.

[Voice]

[floralogy]

[Oho, she knows that voice all too well. Brb responding while picking up some of her clothes on the ground.]

In your dreams, Kiba.

[Voice]

[keepitcanine]

Annnnnnd that humble act you were putting on just threw itself out the window.

[stilldontgotit]

Shouldn't I be the one sending bouquets?

[He snickers.]

voice

[floralogy]

[Ohoho, a snicker deserves a snicker back.]

I'll be waiting for them later. [a.k.a. better hurry with them, boyfran~]

voice

[stilldontgotit]

Hey, if you want, I'll hand deliver them to you.

[Oh, he's totally taking it seriously. Yup.]

[markofthewise]

I'm not a fan of bouquets, personally. Maybe you should try talking to us when you aren't working.

[floralogy]

Tell me where you are and I'll march over there as soon as possible.

[markofthewise]

What? No! I don't want any flowers!

[voice]

[blackteriques]

[That's probably the strangest first comment out of the journals he's heard for awhile.] Why would anyone need to replace a year's worth of clothes?

[voice] 1/2

[floralogy]

Because the storm destroyed them all.

[voice]

[floralogy]

But don't you worry. I'm well on my way to restoring it from its previous glory. [Smile smile.] I think I haven't spoken to you before, though?

[voice]

[blackteriques]

It was a strange comment. [He tries to explain why he's speaking to her without sounding defensive.] I hadn't heard of anyone having their possessions wiped out by the storm.

[seleniahymn]

... A year's worth of clothing? [Whatever for? It sounded a little extreme to her.]

And why bouquets?

[floralogy]

Yes, a year's worth. [Perfectly normal.]

And because flowers are the greatest expression of gratitude and affection. Of course, if you choose the right ones.

[seleniahymn]

If you don't mind, may I ask why? [Not exactly normal, but what did she know? It's her latter answer that brings about the faintest blush to her cheeks.]

The right ones? What would those be?

[LET'S GET SOME SHOES

I mean

As it so happens, Ino isn't the only one shopping for clothing today-- with the weather getting hotter, Richard is on the hunt for lighter-weight shirts that are still a bit dressier than just the average t-shirt. He's just setting one that didn't quite fit back down when he catches sight of Ino looking at that purple skirt, and because fashion is sort of a thing for him, he can't resist the urge to add his own opinion on the matter:]

If you don't mind me saying so, I think that color would suit you quite well.

[Action]

[floralogy]

[Upon hearing Richard's voice, Ino turns around to see who it was. She smiles, though, upon seeing Richard. It's rare for guys to appreciate fashion (even Riku has difficulty) so this is quite the nice surprise. Holding the purple skirt before her waist, she beams.]

Really? Why, thank you! I think I'm going to get it along with this shirt I saw. [Hmm now where is it again?]

[Action]

[ledbythewind]

Really. It brings out the color of both your eyes and your hair. Perhaps something pink to go with it...

[Richard is something of a snappy dresser himself; his outfit alone should make it clear that he's more interested in that sort of thing than the average guy. At least he's got good taste! ... most of the time.]

[voice] /latest

[endgames]

You have a spare room.

[voice] and for that, you get a hug lmfao

[floralogy]

I'd like to reserve that for someone, okay? [For her bff's return, if she ever does. Because that spare room now occupies the things she left.]

[voice] rofl /hugs

[endgames]

It'd be cramped in there with three people, much less a guy.
