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! ]

how pretty~ i love dandelions, and forget-me-nots too. i'll stop by in a bit, if you don't have a large queue before me?

one of my memories involved an android. or a cyborg? i don't know what the difference is either

[admiringly]

queue or no queue i'll always have time for you!
i always want to see you ryoji!
dandelions are so soft and cheery i love them too!
do you make any wishes on them? i do once they mature into the fluff!

we can learn the difference together! is it a memory i can ask about?

[thesettingsun]

Cyborgs vs. androids: an android is fully inorganic, a robot that's programmed to act human. A cyborg is part organic and part inorganic, so like if you took a normal person and gave them a robot arm and maybe eye lasers?

My favorite flowers are peach blossoms!

[admiringly]

ooh i get it!!
i'm probably going to have to refer back to this a few times but thank you for the explanation!
a cyborg is human first and an android is not!

peach blossoms are so so pretty! the tear drop shape of the petals make them so elegant but delicate!

[destiny_key]

thats a really cool flower crown!!!
i didnt know you guys did that at flower shops lol

i dont know that i have a favorite flower though
theyre all cool i guess lol

[admiringly]

thank you sora! it's one of the ones i'm most proud of
we don't always do them
but i'm doing it special!
(because it's for bingo haha)

hmm what's your favorite color and what's your favorite shape?

[botamochi]

i'm kind of over the flower crown trend, but that one is really nice. i personally really like the Japanese plum blossoms? though the cherry blossoms are also a given, too.

what's up with the sci-fi question though?

[admiringly]

thank you takumi! that's fair!
i could make pressed flower bookmarks or something instead of flower crowns too?
plum blossoms are really beautiful! they give off a kind of virtuous feeling!

oh haha it came up in a conversation with someone who's new to retrospec
they were wondering about it with how cyber security and everything must be with the app
and how someone could be like robocop or the terminator
and i said i'd poll retrospec? ta da?

[liberal_arts]

This is simply lovely! Do you do a lot of this sort of artwork?

[admiringly]

ehehe no i'm more of a novice with crafts like this
i draw more than anything else
i like painting digitally!

[truedetective]

An android is wholly artificial; i.e, a robot.
Technically it only refers to robots with masculine appearances; a female version would be a gynoid, but that term seems to have fallen out of favor.
A cyborg is an organic creature with mechanical/cybernetic components.

That craftsmanship is lovely.

[admiringly]

i've never heard or seen gynoid used before but that makes a lot of sense! like gynecologist!
thanks naoto! i learned something new today!

hehehe i'm flattered! i worked hard on it
do you like flower crowns?

[ladytakamaki]

What a lovely flower crown! I think I'll have to take you up on your offer, thank you!

Unfortunately I haven't had any hallucinomemories about being a cyborg or anything like that, but I can let you know if I do?

[admiringly]

aaa thank you! what kind of flower crown would you like? do you have any ideas in mind?

please! but don't worry too much about it
it's not a super important or time sensitive thing? it's just a curiosity

[b0mbshell]

You know, I might get one as a present for someone.

No androids yet, sorry.

[admiringly]

no androids no problem!
i''m here for all your flower crown needs!
do you know what kind of flower crown that someone would like?

[lecturehall]

you actually went through with it?!

[admiringly]

i did!
i know you were mostly joking but i said i would and it doesn't hurt anyone?

[twostringsonebow]

[Well, that is adorable. What kind of flowers does he like...]

Lilies are my favorite, I think. Their lack of pollen is a relief for my allergies. Oh, but I think cherry blossoms might be the most beautiful despite that, though perhaps that's just because I remember seeing them when I was younger...

[Good times. Small, good times. Often followed by periods of congestion.]

Do you have a favorite flower?

[admiringly]

i'm so sorry you're allergic but lilies are lovely! do you have a favorite kind or are they all equal to you?
there's nothing wrong with a little nostalgia coloring your memories and what you like!
cherry blossoms are one of my favorites too because they start blooming around my birthday and i like thinking it's nature's way of saying it's great to be one year older!
but i really like gardenia and star-of-bethlehem too!

[matchbreaker]

Oh wow, girl, you're good at making cute things, aren't you?

Did you used to be a cyborg?

My favorite flower's probably Primroses? It really depends on the season what I feel like, though.

[admiringly]

i don't know if i'd say i'm good at making them but i do love cute things a lot!
no i'm not a cyborg and i haven't had anything to tell me that i might have been once upon a time
primroses are sweet! i get that though! with different seasons blooms different flowers!

[cheetahsenpai]

i don't really have a favorite flower, i like the tulips my mom buys sometimes

that flower crown looks really good

[admiringly]

awww that's so sweet that you pay attention to the flowers your mom buys!
you must love her a lot
and thank you!!

[eyestitch]

wow, that example is really pretty! ofc, you definitely picked a really good color!

what website did you get your inspiration from these designs from?

[admiringly]

thank you! i really love pink flowers and it's at least one color that hasn't been taken from us!
i didn't really get inspiration from any one place
that's how i thought the buds would best look together?

[gnasher]

[a good post... best post... consider this silently liked and faved or whatever the metric of success retrospec uses]

[and then also a comment, of course]

what are you asking about robots for? did you have a memory?

you did a good job on the crown. and i like classic flowers, i guess. roses and cherry blossoms, stuff like that.

[admiringly]

[ don't be silently embarrassing, Rin. ]

nope! it's only curiosity!
i've had memories but nothing about robots!

thanks rin!
what color rose is your favorite?

[sotenbori]

damn thats gorgeous
i like red flowers??

[ very specific... ]

[admiringly]

thank you very much!
what kind of red flowers?
small and cute? big and flamboyant? or classic like a bouquet of roses?

[invocate]

My favorite flower is the daffodil! I think they are so cute. And I like how they are some of the first flowers of spring.

And I very much want a flower crown. I will stop by after my shift.

[admiringly]

i love daffodils too! looking at them cheers me up
like they give me a feeling of hope? something like that!

yay! i'll definitely have one ready for you!

[fairhands]

That's beautiful, Chiyo.

[admiringly]

thank you!! i'm happy you think so
do you want one?
i can make you and uncle a matching pair?

[sharplydressed]

omg those are sooo cute!!
i'll be over asap to buy some!
oh and my fav flowers are camellias (•̀ω•́)ง✧

[admiringly]

aaaa thank you so much!!
i'll definitely have some for you or i'll make you more on the spot!
camellias are so so pretty! they have such a soft kind of elegance!

[livingdeadgirl]

I think the other me got turned into a robot at some point
it's kind of confusing
why do you ask though

(also my favorite flowers are roses and marigolds)

[admiringly]

that does sound really confusing
how do you get turned into a robot?
it was just something i got a little curious about
i wasn't thinking too deeply about it

roses are a classic! classic and beautiful
marigolds are lovely to look at! a vivid pop of color to brighten up your life

[elevelvetor]

[ ooh, pretty. ]

a crown of cherry blossoms... they commonly represent a good education and beauty, with white ones signifying the harrowing thought of deception.
at least one source marks them as meaning impermanence as well—unsurprising, considering their short bloom time.
despite that, the french have decided to give them the extra meaning of "ne m'oubliez pas": do not forget me.

[ ...no one asked her for this, ah— ]

my apologies.
i also work at a flower shop, and my boss thinks it best we consider the flower meanings of what we're working with, even if the general populace may not.
to answer your questions, however.

1. i have not had any hallucinomemories of androids and/or cyborgs, robots, etc, though i suppose that would account for how naive the woman's whose memories i *am* privy to is... perhaps she is one? an interesting thought.
2. i quite like amaryllis! it's a very lovely flower. oh, but chinese chrysanthemum's meaning (cheerfulness under adversity) is fairly inspiring...
this is harder than i first thought it would be.
hmm.
i'll go with yellow jasmine instead of either of those.

[admiringly]

[ it's unexpected, but it's not unwanted. chiyo's a little delighted. ]

!!!
clutches your hand
i love it when other people know flower language! i don't think i know quite as much as you do but i also like thinking about it if i'm making a bouquet or something for someone as a surprise!

what do you mean by the woman whose memories you're privy to? are you getting someone else's memories and not like... another you's?
all three are great! amaryllis is stunning but in a gentle way and jasmine!! i love jasmine too
love friendship grace and elegance
a lovely choice!

[ TECHNICALLY HE'S STILL ASSISTANT MANAGER, APPARENTLY, so dave will just be leaning against the counter on the employee side with her??? and say: ]

So where's my special flower crown?

[admiringly]

Tell me your favorite flower, and I'll make you ten!

[ She laughs. She's kidding about making him ten, but she'll make him at least two. She plucks the sunflower crown she's wearing off her head and plops it on his. ]

Have a placeholder for now.
