❁ BBS (and action in quad)

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

I can use my own magic again! What a relief. The GFs aren't bad, but you don't want to rely on them too much. Is everyone else back to normal?

To celebrate I have a little something for everyone. I'd show you, but that would spoil the surprise. I'm handing them out in the Quad!

- Aerith

[ And that gets posted. ...And then about ten minutes later, after a little more stumping at the computer, a new message gets posted! This time it's unsigned, but it's the same id number on both entries. ]

I mi-i-ight have forgotten how to do video on the computers. It's been too long. Could someone refresh my memory?

[ Okay, that might be the real reason it's a "surprise". Anyone who has seen Aerith recently will not be surprised that she's handing out flowers, those still fresh from when the unexpected powers manifested. Between springing flowers on people, she's weaving a few into larger things, like a flower crown and an assortment in a small red vase. ]

[In Tom's case, "back to normal" was a celebration. He normally didn't stay in his transformed state in Garden - partially because Cadets once tried to kill him on sight, partially because he tended to freak most people out - but his talk with Erik had gotten him thinking.

Either way, he's there in the Quad and taking a nap underneath a nearby shaded tree. He lazily opens his eye to look at her better:]

Selling flowers again? They sure smell nice.

action; assuming she wold have seen his transformation before?

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

[ ooc: if that doesn't work I can change this! ]

[ She looks around--he blends in pretty well under the shadow--and looks surprised to see him like that, but then she smiles. ]

Not exactly selling, this time... but there's too many for me to keep to myself. And they're too pretty to waste.

action; perfectly fine with me!

[werepanther]

[He laughs, almost making it sound like a purr as he adjusts his arms so they cushion his head better.]

I'm sure it'll make their dorms look pretty nice. [He yawns.] Might take one later... depending on if I actually get a nap today.

action; \o/

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

Oh, am I keeping you up? You could say!

action;

[werepanther]

Not at all. [He snorts, shaking his head.] I mean, it's not like you're hosting a paintball war.

[Gavril sees Aerith's message and goes to find her at the Quad to find her.]

Ah, what beautiful flowers! [Smiles.]

You are having computer issue?

Re: Action

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

[ She looks up and straightens from her basket with a red flower. ] Want one?

Ah... Sometimes I think they changed the system around while I was gone! [ She frowns. ] I can send messages on the BBS just fine, but I don't know how to manage a video. I didn't really need it today, but it might be useful for class later on.

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

Very much! Red is favorite color. Thank you, Aerith. [Takes it from her and tucks it behind his ear.]

[Knows they didn't but just nods politely at her explanation.] I can teach if you need refreshment.

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

How dashing. [ Oh she knows they probably didn't either. It's just frustrating to forget. She nods at his offer--] I'd appreciate it! It shouldn't take too long, right? I don't think it was that hard. I just... forgot.

[hypocriteonjl.livejournal.com]

Nyet, should not take long at all!

action.

[northswains.livejournal.com]

Ah.. For me? Thank you.

[Ashe will happily take one of those, pull it close, and take a big whiff.]

They smell beautiful.. Like home. It has been so long since I've smelled this smell..

Re: action.

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

That's right. They're for everyone. [ Aerith smiles. ]

Flowers are always calming to have nearby. Do you have a garden at home?

[northswains.livejournal.com]

No.. not quite. [Her expression tightens for a moment as she gazes forlornly at the flowers. She smiles again, though, after a moment.]

My home is in the desert. Flowers do not grow there often.. but when one does, it's a beautiful and amazing occurrence. It makes living there worth it.

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

A desert... I've always thought it'd be hard to live in one. But the people there make do, I'm sure. Home's what you make of it. And it's not something you give up on.

[northswains.livejournal.com]

Yes.. and it is home. We manage, somehow. [smile.]

And yourself? What is your home like?

[betweenpaths.livejournal.com]

You too? Feels better when you can use your own abilities doesn't it?

How could you forget to do a video feed?

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

It really does. They're much more familiar.

A-ha. Since it's simple to remember, you'll have no problem showing me. Right?

[betweenpaths.livejournal.com]

Yeah. It's a lot more comfortable, but I almost feel a bit out of practice now.

Sure. There should be an optional function when you send out a message on the board. I've seen it before, but I don't if you could do that for an edited message.

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

There's the Training Center. Have you been there before?

Hm... I remembered something like that, but I must be missing it on the screen.

[betweenpaths.livejournal.com]

Yeah, found it earlier, but not since getting my powers back. I'll probably head there tomorrow.

Maybe not all the computers have it then?

[lighthoused.livejournal.com]

Is there any left? Save some for me!

[ And not a few minutes later, there comes Kairi, waving cheerfully. ]

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

There are, but you better come quick~!

[ Aerith waves back when she sees Kairi. ]

You made it! [ Not that there was much danger of her not getting a flower; there's still a pretty fair amount by Aerith. ]

[lighthoused.livejournal.com]

[ She stops next to Aerith, taking in the bouquets with wide eyes. ]

This is amazing! Did you grow these all yourself, Aerith?

[adewdropbright.livejournal.com]

With a little help. [ lol powers ]

Now, your favorite color... would it be pink? Or maybe purple.

[lighthoused.livejournal.com]

[ Surprise surprise: ]

It's actually yellow! [ Like paopu fruits! ] But I like red, pink and purple, too. What about you, Aerith?
