I have gold, and an interest in flowers.

And nothing better to do, really, which is the compelling factor.

[ Gold is flashier than he'd like, but beggars can't be choosers. ]

Thank you, Fawkes.
I don't have much experience in the way of flowers, so your help will be valuable.
Do your powers extend to growing flowers?

[roseblooms]

They do. Provided I have a seed or some snippet of the plant to work from, I can grow as many as I want in most any capacity I want.

[In contrast with what's probably a white background, Kouhei's name is displayed in a soft yellow.]

Flowers.... how nice.

If you still need someone with yellow paint, I'd be happy to help.

[ after some squinting and then highlighting of text ]

Yellow works. Thank you.
Red, white, and blue are the traditional colors for Memorial Day flowers. However, I don't believe that tradition outweighs sentiment.

[sunnyspot]

If I paired with someone with red paint, we would be able to make orange, but that's about the closest I could get to red...

If you're sure you don't mind, though, I'll lend a hand. It's nice that you're organizing this even with the color gone.

REALLY IMPORTANT QUESTION
are you the type to smile irl when you use a smiley face??

[doublesmall]

sure, what's one more thing to paint in the middle of all this?

I've got red, if you need roses or anything like that taken care of.

[normally he'd have more important things to do, but he's got enough of an interest in sakichi that he'll go for a little extra public service, here.]

[idealest]

Red will be perfect.
I didn't think you were the type of person to be interested in painting flowers.

[doublesmall]

it's always good to do some community service as a business owner, isn't it?

[odasaku]

I have red. Does that help?

[idealest]

It does. Thank you.
The more vibrant the color, the better. The cemetery will need as much help as it can get.

[odasaku]

I'll do my best.

It's nice that someone thought about this. I had forgotten, unfortunately.

I'd be glad to help.
Where'd you get the paint?

[idealest]

Thank you.
The paint is from Freshens.
It's a chore to find, but it's there.
Did you need some for your personal use?

[floret]

Oh, they sell it! Wow. That never even would have occurred to me. I thought we were just going to be stuck with whatever we could mix up from the colors we all happened to end up with, lol.

I think I'm fine for now, but now I know where to look if I end up needing some!

[kindhearted]

Me and my blue paintbrush would be happy to help, Sakichi! Flowers are really fun to paint, I've found out.

Where were you thinking of doing the painting session at?

[idealest]

[ Roji is always so helpful. ]

Thank you, Roji.
There are enough volunteers that our apartment is too small for the job. I'm going to try reserving a room at the Community Center.
But afterward, I'll be storing the paint and flowers at our place. I assume you don't have a pollen allergy.

[ It'll be a small army of flowers in the end... ]

[kindhearted]

Ooh, okay! That's so great that you got so many volunteers already! While you get that set up, I can pick up some snacks for everyone to nibble on.

And that's fine re: bringing them to our place! No allergies here.

[An armies of flowers would certainly not be the strangest thing they've temporarily stored in the apartment either.]

[doesntdiscriminate]

Can't say no to something like that, can I? Sign me up!
I've got a pretty lovely blue, even if I do say so myself, that should fit well enough too. :)

Thank you, Mr. Hart.
Is there any time or date that doesn't work for you?

[spes_phthisica]

oh!!! that sounds like a lot of fun
I feel that this is exactly what I should be doing after somehow managing to turn in my thesis while this whole mess is going on

[idealest]

Congratulations.
What was your thesis about?
