i. flower shop 💐
[ Oriphi's flower shop is now open! She has been hard at work growing flowers on her and M-21's farm, trading with townsfolk and such to put everything together. And so beginning in the fall, she spends most of her afternoons after tending to the farm in this cozy little nook in town, available for any and all floral needs... and possibly even more! There are also small gifts available in the shop, like little plushies and little crafted items, decorations, and homemade snacks.
Ori herself can usually be found fussing over some arrangements or displays, chatting with random NPCs who wander in, talking to some of the live plants inside the shop (??), or otherwise sitting at the counter enjoying some afternoon tea, ready to be bothered.
What are you waiting for? Come on in! ]
ii. on the arco lunar 🚢
[ Ori has dressed up for her date on the Arco Lunar with M-21, with her hair carefully braided in a half up, half down style.
She'll be sticking with her date for the most part, but she can easily be caught by herself now and then, looking out into the sea while leaning on the guardrails of the deck... and occasionally looking like she's not doing too well. She's doing her best not to get seasick...
If the boat rocks at any point, she might end up having to lean on someone, grabbing an arm. ]
S—Sorry! I just need... a second.
iii. teleportation!? 🌳
[ Are you foraging in the forest? Or minding your own damn business in town?
If there's a conveniently person-sized trunk of a tree nearby... You might suddenly be greeted by the sound of magic sort of... bubbling up from said tree. Then in just another moment, a magical portal appears on the trunk, through which steps a petite little tiefling, now fashionably bundled up and looking a little cozy for the fall! She has a basket hanging on one arm and a staff held in the hand of the other.
She startles when she sees she's not alone wherever she's come out (yes, even in town). ]
Oh, woops! Good day!
[ The portal seems to close and then disappear behind her, and the tree is left looking as if someone didn't just fully walk out of it. ]
I didn't startle you, did I?
iv. wildcard
( feel free to toss something else in! we can hash things out at my plotting comment if you're feeling something else! )
an hour after aether's visit
oh, shit.
He hurriedly tips his hat down so the brim obscures (some of) his face. He turns around abruptly to pretend like he's just looking at some flowers off to the side. ]
no subject
Ori, who has no reason to suspect the customer who's just wandered into her shop, simply regards him with a smile, apparently not having recognized this person as Vanitas thanks to his very elaborate disguise of one (1) hat. ]
Ah, welcome! Are you looking for anything in particular today, dear customer?
no subject
But he clears his throat and keeps his back turned toward her. He makes no effort to disguise his voice... ]
No. I'm. Just browsing.
no subject
[ Wait, she's heard this voice before, hasn't she...? ]
Wait... Vanitas?
no subject
[ :man_standing: ]
Never heard of him.
no subject
Right. Of course. My mistake, dear customer. Um... Let me know if you have any... questions...
no subject
...A friend...of mine wanted to know what flowers would compliment a gold color scheme.
no subject
[ Usually when someone says "a friend" with such emphasis, they're really referring to themselves, aren't they!? She knows, because she does this all the time. ]
A gold color scheme...? Then... How about some white flowers, to help the gold really stand out and shine?
no subject
...That'll do. What's the selection like.
no subject
Some flowers have meanings behind them. But if not, then we can pick based on appearances, too!
no subject
If she cares to peek at him, she may be able to catch a glimpse of him sulking under the brim of his hat. His cheeks are bright pink, and he taps his finger against the opposite arm nervously. ]
...Nothing specific.
[ Lies. ]
But tell me their meanings anyway. You know, for future referencce.
no subject
Hmm, alright! You don't have to worry too much about meanings, honestly. Most people wouldn't know about them, but it can be a nice hidden meaning on your part...
In general, white flowers symbolize things like new beginnings, and rebirth, and pureness of heart! Only a few of them have more specific meanings...
[ She guides him over to a container of white tulips. ]
White tulips can mean... Respect, innocence... Oh! We can always mix a bunch of different white flowers together.
no subject
[ He says it with a dismissive wave of his hand, though the blush on his cheeks betrays him, as does the way he tilts his head upward, giving Ori a very clear view of his face. Vanitas does give the meanings some consideration, but he doesn't feel too fussed about anything Ori's described thus far. ]
As long as it's nice, it doesn't matter what you pick.
no subject
...As long as it's nice! [ snerk. ] Okay. I think we can manage that...
[ ...Look at where they are, Vani. Is there anything about this shop that isn't nice... ]
Dealer's choice, then, as long as it's nice, and... compliments gold, yes? Is there a particular reason for that? Gold jewelry...? [ or... wait a second. ] Golden eyes?
[ Amber's????? ]
no subject
...Gold eyes, and hair. And armor plating...and accessories.
[ So, no, not Amber. Would Ori be able to put two and two together...! ]
no subject
Hmm.
That sounds so much like the last farmer who was just in her shop...! ]
... Aether...?
no subject
He lets out a sigh and buries his face in his hands. He's so embarrassed. ]
Yes, that's correct.
no subject
[ It's going to be so awkward if Aether was just in here being blushy about buying flowers for his roommate and it turned out to be someone else... ]
no subject
[ He's not even trying to hide who he is anymore...smh.... ]
1/2
And has apparently straight up forgotten that Vanitas was trying not to be Vanitas. ]
no subject
[ she is bad at lying but she will attempt to conceal the fact that Aether was just here to get flowers for him anyway. It'll be so much sweeter as a surprise! Please ignore the way that her tail is flicking back and forth in excitement. ]
Alright. I think I've got a better idea for flowers now that I know for sure who it's for!
no subject
[ Oh. Oh, god, of course she does. Aether's friends with everyone on this god forsaken island, how can he not. He's so embarrassed, and it's written all over his face. ]
I'm....just...giving him flowers, on behalf of someone else.
[ Complete and total bullshit. ]
no subject
[ him in here an hour ago when he bought you flowers!
Hold it!! She must keep it as a surprise for them both! You've got to save this, Ori! ]
—him around earlier, is all!
[ Technically not wrong... Though, wait... ]
Wait... Someone else? Really? Who is it?
no subject
[ He does not have an answer for that, and it's a bit obvious. Hm! This isn't going so well for him, is it. He clears his throat and tries to will away the blush that spreads across his cheeks. ]
Don't worry about it.
[ sweats ]
The flowers, if you will.
no subject
Aww, Vanitas. Hang in there, buddy. ]
Oh! Right...
[ Quickly, she grabs a few white tulips and some white lilies out of their respective buckets, and then a bundle of baby's breath with her tail before she starts assembling a proper little bouquet at the counter for him, wrapping them all together with brown twine. It looks a little bit like these two bouquets, combined. ]
You can relax, I think. I'm sure Aether will like the bouquet no matter what... And no matter who it came from.
[ WINK ]
