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!! ]

[He turns a bit redder at that.]

A-ah... as much as I wish it was so... I do not believe that romance was the intention! I first saw the daffodil when I woke up after trying to train. It gave me strength to go keep enduring onwards! B-but... There is not really more to that story.

[poised]

[Oh..... Still though, she gives him a smile.]

It's still very sweet....

But "you wish it was so"? Is it a girl that you like, Rock?

[niceguypose]

Er... [Sheepish nods.]

This is an 'intimate secret of youth', Natalia-san, but... Yes! I- I've had these feelings for Sakura-san for a long time now!

[poised]

... you were very quick to share your intimate secret of youth.

[niceguypose]

That's because we're good friends, Natalia-san! [You must be a level 1 friend to unlock my obvious secrets.] I feel safe confiding in you.

[poised]

[ . . . . goodness, that's so straight-forward. It obviously catches her off-guard before her expression settles on a pleased smile.]

I'm glad to hear that, Rock....

Thank you. I consider you a good friend as well.

[niceguypose]

[As if anything about Lee isn't straightforward... He nods happily.]

I am very glad to hear that as well! Another friendship... successful! [He pumps a fist through the air triumphantly.]

Natalia-san! If I may ask... Which flowers are you seeking?!

[poised]

[ . . . . well, in complete honesty, she looks over to the flowers again and hums thoughtfully.]

Roses are always lovely, aren't they? The different colors have different meanings as well - they were always my favorites. Call it a classic, I suppose.

[niceguypose]

Roses? Ah, such a lovely choice! [He gives a thumbs up.] They are indeed very pretty. Will they be for yourself or for a sweetheart?!

[poised]

[That much manages to get her to laugh slightly as she shakes her head.]

Just for me - I love flowers. Alas, I lack a sweetheart to give them to in this world.

[niceguypose]

[He smiles lightly.]

Ah... Perhaps in another world then? Just like Sakura-san... [In a world that's supposedly destroyed. But Lee won't believe that anything's gone in a permanent manner. Not with the miracles he's seen Naruto achieve.]

E-either way, we should both appreciate the flowers of this world!

[poised]

Yes.... In a manner of speaking, I suppose. [She sighs faintly and shakes her head.] I do wish that my love life could be simplified a bit....

[He shared the details of his with her - so she can at least return the favor vaguely. Very vaguely.]

But certainly so! The beauty is something that I can appreciate regardless.

[niceguypose]

A simplistic love... Ah, that is what youth yearns for! [He gives her a thumbs up.] Don't worry, Natalia-san, I'm sure that things will find a way to work out simply in the end! I have faith!

While all we have our these flowers... Let us make the purchase!

[poised]

[That much manages to get her to laugh a bit before she nods obligingly.] Certainly so... I appreciate your faith, Rock. I will try to share in the same.

[Though now she just nods more firmly and glances toward the roses she was eyeing.] I am prepared. Do you believe now is a good time to move?

[niceguypose]

[Lee does smile warmly at her returned faith. Then he gets serious and sharply scans the area, looking towards the location of each known employee, while his hand hovers warily over the daffodils.]

Yes... I believe the time is right!! Exactly one person is unoccupied. Natalia-san... on the count of 3, let's go!!

[poised]

[Mirroring his movements, she seems ready to snatch up the roses - carefully thanks to those thorns and all - at any moment! So she nods as her expression turns to one of determination.]

Understood! On your count, Rock.

[niceguypose]

[He nods firmly!]

Ossu! Then...

3... 2... 1... Go! [He grabs his bouquet and runs to whoever the available person is! ...But he makes sure to match Natalia's pace.]
