Hello, Recolle.

Let's play a game.

Don't worry -- it's a very fun one, and most of the work is on my part, but I think it'd be a good time sink... and you may even learn a little more about yourself in doing so. You may quit at any point of time and gain rewards from it (those are to be decided, mostly depending on how far you get in your story), though seeing it through to a satisfying end would be the most fruitful for your time.

Now.

Please pick a genre and one of the following colors: Red, Blue, Green.
1. Fantasy
2. Dystopian
3. Romance

Your story's waiting to begin. ♪

(Thank you! You're giving me a lot to work with.)

The monk and bard are enjoying the sights the farmlands have to offer. With the bard offering commentary every now and then on whatever piece of greenery, tools, and other facts the monk has little to no information about. They use the opportunity to scope the area, hoping to find a farmer willing to sell or barter their wares; however they are on short on time and need to conduct their investigations thoroughly. So they sent their animal companion to explore the farmlands and bring them anything interesting they may find.

Which district would be the best one to take? As they are in need of information and the evening was slowly overlapping the land, they both decided to pay a quick visit to the North side of the districts to pay their respects to those in charge of the spiritual education of the area. They already noticed the favorable reaction of the bare amount of citizens in the land, so they wish to continue to strengthen the relationship a tad bit more before deciding to pay the other districts a quick visit.

You decide to head North to pay respects, and your efforts are rewarded.

There's a young woman with a wicker basket full of vibrant flowers, the most colorful thing you've seen since coming to this town. Her chestnut hair is tucked mostly beneath her white bonnet, the rest of her garb just as drab and neutral. While her expression is initially open and searching, when she sees the two of you she draws her basket closer to herself and seems wary.

She does speak, despite that: "Would you care for a blossom? The gods have blessed them."

There doesn't seem to be anything unique about the flowers besides the vibrancy of their colors.

The bard will be the first to notice the young flower vendor from a distance. Her flowers were indeed very beautiful, enough to draw them towards her as they both enjoy its beauty. The monk will notice the ki from the flowers were normal, without a speck of magic; while the bard will notice the woman's slight pull of her wares, finding it strange as vendors should be doing the opposite by bringing their products as close as possible.

"They are indeed very pleasing at the eyes," began to speak the bard before adding with a light wink, "Just as the one offering them to us. It'd be a shame to separate them."

The monk finding the bard's words to be a good beginning, she'll add,

"As my companion said, I agree. We're on a journey to unite and strengthen bonds, not separate them."

They will not buy the flowers, but will tactfully ask for information about the area -- about the activity and likelihood of finding others paying their respects as they are.
