Third Rose: Advertisement [VIDEO]

[formerabyssinian]

[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!

[formerabyssinian]

[A military school...unexpected.]

Aya. [It's all he gives for a name.] Whenever you're free, you can come down to the flower shop and I can show you around.

[booyaka_boom]

Aya.

*Selphie repeats it, committing it to memory, and smiles*

Really? Well, I'm free anytime! I just got here and I'm a little bit bored so whenever you want me, I'm there!

[formerabyssinian]

You can come down now, if you want. It's not too busy yet.

video to action!

[booyaka_boom]

Alright! Be there super soon!

*So she kinda had to find the place, and it took her a little longer than she'd hoped, but when she does show up at the flower shop, Selphie is carrying a box of freshly baked muffins, from a bakery of course. She takes a small breath before pushing the shop door open with her shoulder and knee*

Hello! Aya?

[applepies]

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.]

[formerabyssinian]

[Aya was ringing up a customer when he hears someone call for him. He comes from behind the counter and sees Selphie there, with...muffins?]

...welcome. [He's pretty baffled by the presence of muffins.]

[ V I D E O ]

[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?

[booyaka_boom]

Thanks! So, it's nice to meet you!

*Yeah, they'd technically met over the SFC thing, but it still always felt different meeeting someone actually face to face. She smiles and moves into the shop, taking a good look around as she moves to stand in front of him by the counter. And then she holds out the box*

Here, I brought some muffins! I brought different kinds cause I didn't know what kind you'd like best.

[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?]

[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]

You didn't have to do that, but thank you. [He inspects the muffins and finds a pecan one.] There's not much to show, since this shop is small, but I can give you a tour.

[formerabyssinian]

[That suggestion gets his gears turning.]

Your students could even intern here, if they needed.

[formerabyssinian]

...is there something wrong with that concept?

[booyaka_boom]

*She smiles brightly, choosing not to take a muffin for now* You're welcome! Just a little gift!

*After all, she was still trying to get used to Vatheon, for the second time*

I'd like that! It's a really cute shop. Is this what you did back home, too?
