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! ]

Correct. They both come from Greek roots.
Andr/o = man
Gyn/o = woman
Incidentally, that's how we get the term "androgynous," having qualities of both men and women.

[A part of her is very aware that it's a little on the nose for her to be explaining that, but eh.]

I can't say I particularly have an interest in them.
But I can appreciate the work that goes into something like that.

ohhhhhhh it's all coming together now!!

flower crowns don't have to be for everybody
are hats more your thing?

If you ever get the opportunity, I recommend studying some Latin and Greek. They help you understand much about the roots of the English language.

I do appreciate hats.
I think they look good on me.

yeah that's not a bad idea!
i have to get better at vocabulary soon anyway

they do!
and if you have confidence while wearing them that makes anything you wear look better i think!
(within reason)

Ah. You're referring to the upcoming tests?
In that case it might not be a bad idea to study the roots, at the very least.

That 'within reason' caveat seems important.

yes! i need one last hurrah for all those standardized tests of doom...
i can't slack off!

yeah...
i... know some people who have confidence but not the best taste in fashion?
some things you just shouldn't try to pull off

I wouldn't call myself a sartorial expert, but even I can tell that much, yes.

Do you need help studying? I'd be happy to offer what I can.

[ Chiyo has to google sartorial, so her answer probably isn't going to be a surprise. ]

yes! i would love any help you can give me
because if i'm being really honest i need all the help i can get
i'm not a bad student but i'm not great either...

Of course. I'd be happy to help.
I can't promise I'll be the best of tutors, but I do like to think I have a decent enough grasp on the subject matter to answer your questions.

[Her grades are pretty top notch.]

sometimes all it takes is a different explanation of a topic for me to understand it better so i'm sure you'll be great!
it can't hurt to have someone else willing o answer questions at least!
thank you so much naoto!

You're very welcome.
Please let me know what day would work for you.

wednesdays work best for me! does that work for you?

I can make time. I'm not taking Kanji to classes on Wednesdays so that's actually fairly convenient for me.

great!! i'm glad it works out for both of us! thanks so much naoto!!

can i ask who's kanji?

Of course.
Kanji's my dog.

cute!!
can i see a picture of him? her?

Yes, here.

He's very friendly, to a fault even.
If you're allergic, we don't have to study at my apartment; I can come to your home.

oooooh he's BEAUTIFUL
i love him and i haven't even met him!!
i'm not allergic and i want to meet him!! is that okay?
if it's okay with you i'd like to come over at least once?
we can trade off whose place to go so it'll be fair

He's quite an aesthetically pleasing dog, I agree!
He's also very friendly.

Very friendly.

He's very rambunctious, and strong. So if you do come over, I caution you that you may get jumped on.

That is why I'm taking him to obedience classes.

[ Aesthetically pleasing.... Naoto.... ]

i can't lie and say i'm not easily bowled over but that's fine!
friendly jumps are way better than aggressive jumps!
but if he doesn't listen when you tell him to stay down that could be a little worrying
i hope he does well at his classes!

Yes, I do too.
It's hard to take him for walks because he can quite literally pull me off my feet.

at least he's a healthy boy!
next goal: obedient boy!
so naoto can stand straight and tall while walking!

That is the goal, yes.

At any rate, I'd be happy to make these plans with you if you'd like the help studying. Do you want to let me know a date that works for you?

how about 2 wednesdays from now?

Perfect. We can arrange the specifics later.

[and then naoto got kidnapped onto a pirate adventure?]
