VIII.

[Souji is quite busy this afternoon. After accidentally turning her Wild Places-forged katana into a parasol, she realizes she's going to need another weapon for the next dangerous thing that happens here, and preferably one more permanent in nature. Her own knowledge of weaponsmithing is just about enough to turn a fallen tree limb into a passably sword-shaped club, so that means she's going to avail herself of an expert. However, the only expert she knew wanted payment, and there was nothing of value just lying loose in the Gardens. Without a weapon, she can't go spelunking in the Caves either, so her only recourse is now her old friend, the Item Trading Quest.]

[Action]

[And that's why she's hanging around the Viridian Pavilion, carefully collecting flowers while making sure they aren't attached to any of the strange, cute plant-monsters wandering the area. She carefully gathers them into two bunches, one rather plain but various, the other more with an eye for color and artistry, favoring blue blossoms.]

[Later, she can be seen heading into the portal underneath the Pavilion, taxonomically-interesting bouquet in hand and a determined, friendly smile on her face...]

[And later still, she returns from said portal with a strange-looking clock in hand instead of the flowers, picking up the prettier bouquet from where she'd left it. Immediately, she finds a Vine mirror.]

[Video, addressed to Ymir but unlocked]

Hey Ymir. We were talking about a sword before...I think I've got something interesting to trade you.

[She holds up the weird clockwork device.]

((You can respond to Souji either when she's gathering flowers for her trip to the Isle of Antikythera, or afterward when she returns; I just didn't want to make two posts when they'd both be this short. Indicate which part you're replying to with a 1 or 2, please. Basically what happened here is she went to trade the robots some flowers for a clock that she has no idea what its actual purpose is, and is planning to trade said clock to Ymir for a weapon. Because she's an RPG hero, this comes naturally to her. The purpose of the second bouquet is a se~cret.))

Science? [She quirks an eyebrow.]

[As for the other comment...] For a lover, perhaps? That's what mine is for. Mmmm...

Nothing wrong with that. Are they for anyone I know?

Mine's for Grell. Ehehehe...

[Zenobia returns the thumbs up, smiling.] Good luck to you, too.

...Just curious, but why is that a guy thing?

Oh, I pretty much do that all the time. We should compare notes sometime.

I really like Grell. She's fascinating, and, yes, beautiful, and mysterious, and playful and good.

Ah, I see. It's a wonderful thing. Especially here, with so many beautiful girls. You should cultivate that idea, and just appreciate beauty to your heart's content. That's what I do.

Hehe, I guess I'm pretty open about it.

I think I understand. Anyone in particular you've been appreciating lately?

Wow, that's great! Tsukasa, huh? She's really pretty.

[identity profile] restlessdevil.livejournal.com 2011-07-01 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes. I always enjoy speaking with her.

This one time, when that beach was around for a little while, she and her pixie switched bodies. It was the cutest thing! Though not very much fun for her.

Oh. Oh crap, yeah, that would have been bad.

So... are you two officially going out yet? Or maybe you're hoping to make it that way tonight?

Oh, excellent. I'll be cheering for you!
