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!! ]

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.]

[harepiece]

["RASHNESS OF YOUTH" well good lord, when it's phrased like that Oz can't help but feel like they're truly living on the edge.

No room for second-guessing is something he can totally do though, and he's practically on the edge of his seat by the time the waiter comes over.]

So that's the rose jelly, the pasta, some cookies, the cake, a parfait, a tart, soup, bread— Woah, there are a lot of breads here?!

[THIS FOR SOME REASON TAKES HIM BY SURPRISE.]

[niceguypose]

We've come this far! We can't let that stop us now! [He shouts that at Oz's face, then he points right at the waiter.]

I will have everything he ordered... plus every variety of bread!

[harepiece]

[WELL HE CAN'T BE OUTDONE. While he doesn't point at the waiter, he slams both of his hands down against the table's surface.]

Right, no regrets or second-guessing—!! I'd like every variety of bread too, please!

[niceguypose]

Oz-kun!! You're such a young man!! [He flashes him a thumbs up with tears building in his eyes.]

Please... bring us all of those things! We both have a youthly fire in our bellies! Can anything quench it?!

[harepiece]

Oh— Here!!

[IMMEDIATELY FISHING OUT A HANDKERCHIEF and thrusting it out toward Lee. Wipe those youthful tears away!!

The waiter gives them both a strange look but does eventually meander off to the kitchen to sign them both up for food hell, in the meantime.]

[niceguypose]

Oh... Thank you so much!! [He takes the handkerchief and uses it to lightly dab at his chin, while tears race down his cheeks.]

[harepiece]

They could use you as a new watering can like this.

[There's something incredible about a guy who has so many emotions that he just spontaneously becomes a waterfall every now and then...]

[niceguypose]

Is... is that so? Ah... the tears of youth!! Could they bring life to plants?!

[harepiece]

I bet they could! You should give it a try sometime to see how it works.

[SURELY THAT WOULD BE A GOOD USE OF TIME.]

[niceguypose]

I will! I promise! I'll do my best... for the plants!

[harepiece]

They'll definitely thank you! You're donating your time and literal tears, after all.

[niceguypose]

You think so?! [Sniff.] I will be so glad to make such a valuable contribution!!

[harepiece]

[CLENCHES HIS FIST he believes in the heart of the cards.]

Maybe you'll even get your own placard on the wall or something!

[niceguypose]

[Believe. Believe!! He clenches both fists.]

A-ah... that would be... too much!! Oz-kun, if that happens, you have to be right on the wall beside me!

[harepiece]

[There is TOO MUCH BELIEF HAPPENING HERE--]

Oh— But I haven't done anything! The spotlight should be all yours!

[niceguypose]

But... You have! I couldn't have gotten so far without you cheering me on and helping me cry!! You... deserve so much, Oz-kun!!

[harepiece]

[Waving a hand rapidly!!]

Maybe I can be listed as your coach or something, in that case. Or... well, I guess I haven't really done a lot of coaching— [What does "helps someone cry" fall under??]

[niceguypose]

Maybe! Or perhaps it would be best and most fitting to list you as "spirited friend of youth"!

[harepiece]

Oh—! Yes, I like that one! That has a really nice ring to it!

[niceguypose]

I'm glad to hear it! I'll be sure to suggest it to the owners.
