Third Rose: Advertisement [VIDEO]

[The feed comes on, and all anyone can see is a flower shop with the name 'Kittens in the House'. There are flowers set up outside and the doors are open for business and a few patrons are milling about.]

I've recently opened a flower shop, and it's in need of a few employees. No experience is necessary, but it would be a plus. If anyone is interested, then just let me know.

[He's not giving out his name, yet. But he does end the feed.]

*So flowers weren't necessarily Selphie's thing. She didn't hate them, she just wasn't totally clued up, but she knew she really liked them. So she smiles brightly into her SFC and nods her head*

Hi! Uhm...I'm just new here...and I guess I don't have anything to do... So if you need some help...

[formerabyssinian]

[This is already starting to feel like this job is a second option.]

How good are you with customer service?

[booyaka_boom]

*Selphie smiles happily at the guy on the screen and gives a small salute, with a quick wink too for good measure*

Awesome! Super efficient and super friendly, that's me!

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya nods with a slight smile. Good, she can deal with most of the customers.]

Do you have any experience with flowers?

[booyaka_boom]

We-ell... I guess I haven't grown any. I mean, I lived in Garden but it's not like I had a garden. But I did all the flower organising for events, and the arranging for the parties, does that count?

*Wow, she's totally impressing herself with how much she might actually know about flowers. Well, to some degree.*

[formerabyssinian]

...you lived in Garden, or in a garden?

[He looks contemplative over her statements.] We could use such skills for organizing arrangements later on.

[booyaka_boom]

Well... Garden was the school, like a military school. Anyway!

*Selphie bites her lip and looks a little sheepish - she's aware that she's just the new girl in Vatheon, and maybe a little too keen because she's bored of just wandering around*

Anyway...my name's Selphie!

Flower shop ? I will have to visit !

[formerabyssinian]

I had hoped you would work with me, even part time. [He still remembers that Tsuzuki had experience with flower arranging.]

[applepies]

Oh really ? Well, I could help you a few hours a week... After all, the gardening classes don't take all my time.

[Ah, idea !] My students and I could provide you flowers.

[formerabyssinian]

[That suggestion gets his gears turning.]

Your students could even intern here, if they needed.

[applepies]

Oh, this is a very good idea ! [Look how he beams.]

I'll talk to them about that.

[formerabyssinian]

Good. The shop is closed on weekends until we get more staff.

[cheapshinigami]

Good evening, Fujimiya-san. I see you have finished setting up the flower shop. [Nods approvingly.]

[formerabyssinian]

I have, yes. It kept me pretty preoccupied.

[cheapshinigami]

Well, now I understand why we haven't seen much of you lately.

[formerabyssinian]

Oh, did you need me for something?

[cheapshinigami]

Not in particular, but since you do live in the neighborhood...

[formerabyssinian]

I should have a more fixed schedule this time around, if you need me for anything.

[Argilla's expression is clearly perplexed when the feed turns on-- or at the very least, she's contemplative. Her eyes brim with curiosity, and it's obvious she's interested in some way...]

A shop that...sells flowers?

[But doesn't buy them?]

[formerabyssinian]

...is there something wrong with that concept?

[teradine]

[Shaking her head.]

No. But flowers are a rare commodity where I'm from... they were bought by the shops, not sold.

[That is kind of besides the point, though, so she'll continue.]

I'd be more than happy to assist, though, if you still need it.

[formerabyssinian]

[He raises an eyebrow at that. How strange...]

I can't imagine why a shop would want to buy flowers other than ordering arrangements. But we'll need some help here. Do you have any experience with flower arranging?

[teradine]

[She unfortunately has no idea what the shops do with the flowers, once they've left the Tribe's hands. So she wouldn't have been able to answer that, even if he did want to know.

He's given her another question to answer, though, so she'll focus on that instead.]

I've tended to the garden we keep at our base. But nothing more than that, I'm afraid...

[Maybe she could learn.]

[formerabyssinian]

That's a start. We could use someone to help keep track of the flowers we have being kept fresh.

[He can teach her more as they go along.]

I'm Aya, by the way.
