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! ]

[ 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.

[ 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!

[ !!!!! ]

it's such a shame that unless you tell someone the meanings they won't know what each flower represents, but it's part of our duty as well, i feel, to get those feelings across regardless of the receiver's flower knowledge.
or something to that extent.
sometimes i just like putting together flowers that look nice, to be honest.

i don't like thinking her of me in any capacity to be honest, because there are some very unsettling things about her, or rather, about reliving (?) her memories.
thank you!! jasmines have always been my favorites... well, there are irises and orchids as well, especially given orchids can have such interesting shapes for their flowers, but jasmines!
jasmines.
what is your favorite flower, out of curiosity?

when you do find someone who knows the language already it's great though!
my best friend taught me and i work with him and we like communicate by pointing at different flowers if we want to talk about something hush hush and there's a customer around
there is nothing wrong about making arrangements just because they're pretty because sometimes all you need is the #aesthetic

oh no i'm sorry if i reminded you of any bad hallucinomemories you've received
i can't really think of the person in the memories i received as me too
at least not yet
yeah! there are so many wonderful flowers out there that it's hard to pick just one since they are so many types even within the same species!
i have a huge soft spot for cherry blossoms
my birthday is around where they traditionally start blooming so i like to think of it like a mini celebration of another year
i really like gardenia and star-of-bethlehem too!

perhaps i'll seek to teach some of the people i've become friendly with recently!
one of them at least seems the type to be interested in such things.
he's a romantic, you see.

it's quite alright.
the sentiment of "this person cannot possibly be me" seems to be common enough regardless, though i have to wonder if there are people who are accepting of the idea? perhaps i'll ask sometime.
nature's birthday gift to you... how nice. now, let's see, those flowers...
gardenia: refinement, joy, "you're lovely"
star-of-bethlehem: reconciliation, purity, hope
very lovely meanings for very lovely flowers!

do it do it!!
it's the most fun with romantic people because they can get both really cute and/or embarrassed about it
especially the tsundere type

i know some people who've had enough changes that they can't deny it to themselves anymore but i don't want to paint a blanket scenario over everyone because everyone's situation should be treated individually and specially
at least that's what i think and that's how i'm reacting to everything that's going on
hehehe the flower meanings are a bonus
i'm going to be honest and say the other two are my favorites because i think they're prettiest

[ give her a moment to refresh herself on that— okay, okay ]

do you know many tsunderes?
i don't believe any of my friends or acquaintances fit the bill, unfortunately.

i've heard of people like that. one of my acquaintance's eyes are completely different--i would have a very hard time continuing to hold a level of disbelief towards my visions if something like that happened to me. but for now nothing has, so it's quite easy to do so.
gardenias have a very lovely smell as well! (ah, that rhymed)
i like perfumes scented with it as a result. it's never too overpowering either.

i do! more than i can count on one hand
that's more than fine! your sincerity can shine through on its own through flowers no matter what!

i hope you'll be to continue having that kind of separation and no changes like that happen for you! you deserve that
you're a poet! ☆
i don't use perfumes or body mists or anything like that but i think flowery ones would be the ones i'd be most drawn to!
although i'd have to ask myself if i wanted to smell like work all the time
