hi! i hope everyone is having a great day so far! and if not i hope it gets better!
i have a couple questions or something to advertise i guess?
um!!

one is does anyone have any (hallucino)memories of androids or being an android or a cyborg or something like that? or could someone tell me the difference between the two because i'm not sure i know... (i'm sorry!)

two is what's your favorite flower? now that we have some blue and green back it's not as depressing to work at a flower shop!

and if anyone wants a flower crown, please come to Enchanted Blossoms! i'll make one personally for you at a discounted price! ❀ it can be one that'll make me or others think of you or one to your exact specifications!

oh here's an example of one i've made recently!

please come by anytime this week! i should be working everyday!

[ ooc: Please feel free to go to action if your character would stop by the flower shop! ]

I did! I learned how to make an iced caramel macchiato today. Here, I made one for you!

[She holds out the extra drink for Chiyo.]

Really? Thank you!

[ She grabs the drink eagerly and takes a sip right away. She loves caramel, but she can't hide a small grimace when the bitterness of the espresso hits her tongue. ]

It's good! You're going to have to tell me what your favorite thing to make is... or the most ridiculous thing a customer has asked you to make.

[Li-Na makes a mental note to cut back on the espresso next time.]

I cannot say I have a favorite yet... though lattes are really easy. Most ridiculous though, someone asked for a chococorn latte. Which we don't even make because 1) it belongs to another brand and 2) it was a limited time menu item. And they still asked if we could make it.

Geh... People should at least make sure they're in the right coffee shop. Can you imagine going into a not Starbucks and asking for a Pumpkin Spice Latte? I can't.

[ She shivers. The mortification that would come with that.... Chiyo would die of secondhand embarrassment for whomever did that. ]

Did that person listen? Or did you have to make something sort of similar?

[Li-Na taps her chin]

Pumpkin Spice might not be a good example. There are all kind of coffee shops in Hong Kong that serve it. It has become linked with fall.

[She covers her mouth as she giggles.]

They did not want to listen and asked for my manager. He came out and gave the person such a glare while stating we did not have the pro...proprietary ingredients for the drink, then offered to help them find something on our menu they might like. Which was what I had been trying to do for the past five minutes. They ended up ordering a raspberry blended latte with rainbow sprinkles. Those ingredients we had.

That sounds a lot different from what they wanted.... At least your manager got him to sort of listen to reason even if it took a lot of time. You deserve a reward for that, Li-Na.

[ Chiyo points to her right where there are a few flower crowns already made, sitting on the counter. One in particular has daffodils in it. ]

A reward?

[Li-Na looks where Chiyo is pointing and her eyes light up.]

Oh, they're so pretty!

[She goes right to the one with daffodils and examines it thoroughly, admiring the way it's constructed.]

Did it take you long to make?

A reward!

[ She holds her hands up like she's cheering. ]

No, not too long? I've had a lot of practice, so it's almost as second nature as drawing but not quite!

[Li-Na settles the flower crown onto her hair.]

How does it look?

Beautiful! You're sooooo pretty, Li-Na! Take a selfie with me? Please? I'll put one on, too.

[ She picks up a crown with sunflowers that she made earlier that day. ]

Of course! I will send it to my brother.

[because every once in a while, he needs reassurance]

Sunflowers suit you, Chiyo.

[she cozies up to her friend as she digs out her phone as well]

[ Chiyo's phone appears from out of her apron pocket. ]

Ehehe, you think so? I like to be optimistic, but I don't know if I'd call myself sunny.

[ She says that, but she smiles brightly at their phone cameras and takes a selfie. ]

Flower crowns suit everyone, I think!

[Li-Na chuckles as she forwards the photo to her brother.]

You are the good kind of sunny. You are cheerful and optimistic, but you are practical as well. You follow the bright sun, but you are still rooted in the earth.

[She tries to picture a flower crown on each of her friends... but when she gets to Noah... she taps her chin and mutters to herself.]

I do not know if I could convince him to wear one... but I want to see it...

Li-Na, that is one the nicest things anyone has ever said to me. Thank you.

[ Her face is heating up fast. She presses her hands to her cheeks like that would make them less red. ]

Who? If he's your friend, he should humor you. Or he'll let you bully him into it.

[ Like she does with her brother and Mikoto all the time. ]

Do you know Noah?

[sorry Noah, not sorry]

I do not think he would humor me, but... maybe if I tease him enough...

I don't! But it probably won't hurt to try?

[ Probably. Sorry, not sorry, Noah. ]

Tease away!
