video; un: flowergirl
( the video opens with aerith herself, tucked into an old arm chair; it looks like it could be in any of the apartments, but that's unlikely, given the bookshelves behind her, which appear to be more like the ones in the media store. still--she could be in any of the city's various cafes, it's hard to say.
case in point - there's a large book open, spread across her lap, though the words are hard to decipher from the video's resolution, and there's no hint of the title. )
Okay! ( bright and warm, as she leans forward, hands spread over the pages of the book. ) Today's story is a choose-your-own adventure, are you ready?
Ahem, ahem. ( her voice rises and falls in pitch, all full of dramatics. ) To start: you find yourself in a large clearing, full of green grass and well-tilled land. You can't remember how you arrived in this place, but even so...! You feel as though your hands must seek the dirt beneath your feet, as though you must start digging holes, holes for seeds, seeds which... Well.
( her fingers turn the page--and she lifts up a little packet from within the book, not unlike the ones from the cursed tea party, but this one clearly labeled with both pictures and text. some sort of root vegetable. bright orange. )
You find right there, at your fingertips. Now, the question is - out of all these seeds you find, what would you want to grow, and what would you never want to see in a garden, or worse, on your dinner plate?
--Okay, maybe this is less a choose-your-own-adventure and more a terrible marketing tactic. ( dropping the packet of seeds into the book, she pushes both sides of it closed with a snap--and a laugh. ) But I'm wondering what kind of fruits and vegetables are worth growing in my garden. I don't know that I trust the food here, so I want to start growing more things just in case, and...
Everyone has different tastes! So tell me a little bit about the food you like, or even flowers, and maybe I can make a special delivery in...you know, a few months once everything's growing. That's all from Gainsborough Greenery! ( she leans forward with a little wave, before her hand takes over the screen of her phone to cut the video. )

( there's a laugh, startled. ) Do you...Have you read it? 'Loveless'?
Ah, but you're right! A blooming onion...! I wouldn't mind having that as my table centerpiece, rather than flowers, sometimes.
no subject
Heh. Maybe one of the many gourmands in this place can set you up with one. There are definitely some cooks around here.
no subject
You're right, though, it's a book. They actually might have it here somewhere. ( a soft laugh. ) Turned it into a play and everything, too, back home. I used to work the corner near the theater.
( --and another laugh. ) --Selling flowers. I mean.
no subject
I'm not usually one for reading, but... well. I can always make an exception. I'll peruse the media store sometime.
Oh, so you grow flowers as well?
no subject
In exchange, we can learn how to bloom an onion.
no subject
Heh. I'm sure if I asked around, someone could teach us.
no subject
Hope. Something positive for the future. You know, some people believed they could heal poisonous wounds, too.
no subject
I wouldn't know about their medicinal effects, but it's a nice thought, isn't it?
no subject
What do you hope for?
no subject
Hope is kind of a difficult thing, isn't it. [He doesn't even phrase it like a question.] But I guess the closest thing is... I just want my time with the people I care about to go on as long as it can.
