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! )

[He recognizes her hesitation and maybe that's why he steps forward and takes her hand gently in his own.]

I know what you mean. I was unsure if this is a good idea, too, but... Amber told me that I would regret it if I didn't give it a try.

[He smiles softly.]

And I'm glad I gave it a try.

[Loneliness is not something he deals with all that great and he's happy to have a companion in Vanitas now.]

[hearthwarming]

Oh...

[ Amber... That does sound like something she would say. ]

Of course. Amber's such a strong-willed woman. Hm...

[ Now, she has to ask her self that question, too. Would she regret it if she didn't give herself and M-21 a chance...?

At last, she hands Aether the bundle of blue hydrangeas and forget-me-nots. ]

I'm glad that you gave it a try, too. And that you shared your thoughts with me...

[startraveler]

[Aether nods and accepts the flowers. His smile continues to be soft.]

I'm glad too. And I'm glad we could talk about this.

[He looks down at the flowers, before his gaze shifts to Ori again. His expression is warm and thankful.]

I hope you will also give it a try... and that everything will go well for you.
