♥ 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!]

Only that you know of, Ino. There is a thousand worlds out there where anything is possible.

[floralogy]

But you're not from any of those fictional worlds because then Katara would have been already dead.

[markofthewise]

Wow, that's harsh. I'm pretty sure only I'm allowed to talk about her like that.

[floralogy]

Oh, you know what I mean!

[This glare.] In fact, with what I said, I'm actually praising her ability to care. [In comparison to Sokka's lack of it.]

[markofthewise]

At the cost of making me look bad? If I cared more, I'd be hurt!

[floralogy]

That is, if there's actually a world where you get hurt for caring too much. But I'm sure there isn't. [Because that world would be stupid.]

[markofthewise]

But there can be worlds where people learn to walk on water, where animals talk, and putting crystals in your hands let you use magic. I see.

[floralogy]

A world where you get hurt because you care primarily doesn't exist for the reason that caring sustains a world. I'm sure we'd never meet someone from that world because they're already killed.

[Even the ninja world isn't that harsh. You don't care, you die. It's that simple. Mothers give birth to their children because they care. A world without it seems impossible.]

[markofthewise]

Or they're all psychotic murderers. Or relaxed and apathetic. Or just politicians. It's not that hard to imagine.

[floralogy]

Your first example already proved my point.

[markofthewise]

I had other examples though!

[floralogy]

Still proved my point.

[markofthewise]

Well it wasn't much of a point.

[floralogy]

You're just saying that because I proved my point with your help.

[markofthewise]

I'd congratulate you. But I remain apathetic and uncaring towards the outcome. For my own health, of course.

[floralogy]

[A grumble.]

There's no reasoning out with you, is there?

[markofthewise]

It's a curse. Really. So, about how many outfits do you even have?

[floralogy]

[Hmmm]

Just enough for me to wear a different one everyday. [This might be an exaggeration but she's willing to make this a reality.]

[markofthewise]

Every day... of the week? [She can't mean anything else, right?]

[floralogy]

Yeah, what about it? [Seems normal to her.]

[markofthewise]

So only seven? That's not that many.

[floralogy]

I meant seven outfits for a week and then a new set of seven for the next and so on. [Not that many?]

[markofthewise]

... for every week in the month? [That's only thirty. Not too crazy, right?]

[floralogy]

[A nod.] And another set of thirty for the next month. [Crazy enough?]

[markofthewise]

And then you swap back, right? Sixty outfits later.
