A: RESIDENTIAL DISTRICT, SOMETIME AT NIGHT TO MORNING...

[Something mysterious is happening around the apartments where you live. No one is entirely sure what is going on, but perhaps you will catch a glimpse of someone running/flying/what have you outside your door. Or if you don't, then you will see something in the morning.

In front of your door is a tiny gift. It's a pressed flower card, which has the address to "Thistle Do Nicely. A Flower Shop."]



B: SHOPPING DISTRICT: THISTLE DO NICELY, OPENING HOURS...

[Actually, there might be some desperation when it comes to services in this flower shop. Flower shops are essentially boring, as all they do is sell flowers. Granted, this single shop also has a little tea area for you to relax and drink their especially concocted teas and flower-influenced foods, but honestly? It's not doing much right now.

And so the management decided to have this fantastic plan!]

BUY A BOUQUET OF FLOWERS, KISS OR RECEIVE A KISS FROM A STAFF MEMBER OF YOUR CHOICE.

[Is this place even serious? It sure is, but thankfully, if you're not into cute girls, they've somehow managed to have a few male volunteers to help them out! Amazing! So buy some flowers, make them rich, and receive a cute kiss on the cheek.

Yata is the cheapest Here's your Fake Valentine's Celebration, Cerealia Or you can just blend with the crowd and buy half a bouquet and avoid this nightmare.]



C: SHOPPING DISTRICT: THISTLE DO NICELY (TEA AREA), OPENING HOURS...

[On the other hand, you could just sit back and enjoy the light cakes and teas they have on hand. It's quite natural and delicious, and maybe you would like to discuss with other people about your day. There's a delightful scent in the air. Is it the flowers? Yes and no; it's the oils of the flowers, heated by a candle and the scent wafting through the air.

Maybe you would like to stay here...forever. No we're kidding, this is a nice establishment, just chill out.

Mingling and thread jacking is highly encouraged here. Feel free to set up your own prompts as well!! ]

That's right! She's on a different team, but she is a very talented ninja of Konoha!

[harepiece]

She must be really impressive too, then! [Normally a person imagining an entire village full of people as intense as Rock Lee would be ridiculous, but not in this case...]

Is Konoha the name of your city?

[niceguypose]

She certainly is!

Ah... yes, Konoha is my home village! The village hidden in the leaves...

[harepiece]

Ah— Is that part of the city's title, or is your village actually in a forest?

[OR A COMBINATION OF THE TWO, he's seen both types.]

[niceguypose]

It is both! The area is indeed very forested, Oz-kun! One day I'll show you around!

[harepiece]

I'd really like to see that! It's kind of easy to start missing forests here.

[Considering even holographic parks don't really do much to change the big city atmosphere here.]

[niceguypose]

Yes... That's true! [He frowns.] It's unusual to be in a place with so little in the way of true trees... It is harder to get around, on top of that!

[harepiece]

Harder to get around?

[He echoes it back in a somewhat surprised way, brows arching a little. Most people find it harder to get around when the forests are thick...]

[niceguypose]

That's right! [A thoughtful nod.] It's tricker to jump between these odd buildings than it is with trees...

[harepiece]

Wait— Is that how you get from place to place where you come from? You just jump around in the trees?

[?!??! WHAT A MAJESTIC WORLD.]

[niceguypose]

It is a convenient way of traveling! Many of the trees are as large as the tallest buildings here, so that makes them all the better for speedy travel!

[harepiece]

But what if you fall?

[Do people in Konoha have perfect balance?? He's imagining a really scary town...]

[niceguypose]

That never happens! We are ninjas. Even if it did, a comrade would catch us, or we could break our falls.

[harepiece]

[The look that he's giving seems genuinely awed...]

Never? Not even once? And your entire village does that...? [HEROES.]

[niceguypose]

Not that I know of! Most people in the village at least do it... The basics are taught to most of the populace!

[harepiece]

That's really impressive! I think the world would be a better place if everyone could do things like that where I come from.

[No, it would actually probably self-destruct approximately 100 years before it eventually did.]

[niceguypose]

I'm sure that it would be! Anyone would benefit from ninja training! [No Lee]

[harepiece]

Do you think I'll be able to reach that level someday?

[The hopes are soaring high here.]

[niceguypose]

Yes!! I believe in you, with all of my heart!

[harepiece]

I'll do my best not to let you down! [He's gonna die.

BUT, flouncing over after that, since he's done doing whatever it is he first set out to do. Nothing as important as discussing ninjas with Rock Lee, apparently.]

—What's the cake here like, anyway?

[niceguypose]

In one word? Delicious! [He spares one hand to flash a thumbs up while his other hand jabs a fork into his cake.]

Please enjoy some!

[harepiece]

[JUST INVITING HIMSELF TO LEE'S TABLE like a rude overly friendly child.]

I wanted to try the pasta, myself. Oh! And the jelly! Didn't that look interesting?

[niceguypose]

[Lee ain't even mad, and he looks over the menu again as Oz speaks.]

Pasta! Ooh... Those all sound interesting! I was so focused on the youthly delight that is cake, I did not pay attention to the other options! Perhaps I should try them as well.

[harepiece]

You should! Maybe we should just order one of everything?

[This is now a fullblown food party of two.]

[niceguypose]

Ah... The rashness of youth!! [He cries out eagerly as he smacks the menu down on the table.] Let's do that, Oz-kun, leave no moment for regrets or second-guessing!!

[He immediately and loudly hails over a waiter.]
