Where: Various Location
When: November
Content Warnings: Nothing really? Maybe vague Persona 5 Royal Spoilers

A. Merlaut Apartments

[All things considered, Haru had expected this world to be more chaotic. Granted, after everything she gone through, a change in scenery wasn't a bad thing. As she wandered around the lobby, there were so many thoughts running through her mind. How much longer was she staying here for? What was happening in her world right now? What about her other friends? She wasn't sure but she knew thinking such things wouldn't do her any good.

With a heavy sigh, she figured she might as well introduce herself to anyone else around here.]

Um, excuse me? I know this is an odd request but do you know where I can buy fertilizer?

The Heavenly Blanc Bar & Café

[It was odd how comfortable she felt in this café. There was always something about the smell of coffee and the atmosphere that always calmed her down. And yet, this was also different from the café she knew back home. The addition of a jukebox and a pinball machine was a nice touch.

Feeling curious, she made her way to the pinball machine. As she stared at the strange equipment, it was certainly nostalgic to see these as she played one when she was younger.

Should anyone look by, they could see the determined look on Haru's face even as she continues to lose!]

C. Aoba Shibumenosaki Underground Academy - Gymnasium

[As Haru looked at the gym equipment, she couldn't help but be impressed. To think, there was such variety in this school! She never thought she would be allowed to try them with her father around! It wasn't becoming of an heiress to attempt to lift such heavy weights or even try the treadmill.

Hoping no one would be around, she just had to lift one the heavier weights. If she could lift heavy bags of fertilizer, a 40 pound weight should be nothing right?]

You can do this, you must try! [She said to herself before attempting to lift it!]

D. Wildcard

[Surprise me! If there's a prompt you'd like me to write, let me know! Feel free to ping me at

rosemotifs!]

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I think you're right. I bet that'd make a lot of people really happy.

[ It's nice to have someone so chipper and generous here! Aerith mentally chides herself for not having met this young woman earlier...particularly if they'd been living near each other!

Strange, the passage of time in this place. ]

Me too! I'm glad to help, Haru. [ She flashes a friendly grin as they go, leading them directly to the Church. ] I'd love to trade some of our flowers for your veggies, if you're open to it!

Of course, I would love it! Now that I know they were grown in a church, that would make it even better!

[She said with a giggle. She might not know this young women that well but she had a feeling they would get along just fine!]

It is nice to see someone who shares an interest in gardening as much as I do. It is rather rare to see that for someone around my age.

Church-slash-cafe, strange as that sounds. You'll see!

[ It isn't that much farther, but she's certainly enjoying the conversation in the meantime! ]

I know what you mean... I feel like I'm the only one, back where I come from. It's nice to have met some other people here who're interested! And I'm sure the flowers like it, too.

[ She's still talking to them, after all, even if they don't 'talk' back the same way in this world. ]

You really think so?

[She said before tilting her head] I have heard that flowers and other plants do like company! And especially if you play music, they would grow faster too! Have you ever tried to do anything similiar?

[Granted, there was only so much she could do with playing music on top of a school rooftop but...]

I've never heard that. [ She replies, brows lifting with interest. ] I'll have to see if they like it. I don't know why they wouldn't; everyone likes music.

[ So...the flowers should, too! ]

Have you tried it yourself?

[With that, she shook her head]

No, I'm afraid not. I'm not sure how I could play music on a school rooftop. But I have tried singing to them.

[Pause] I think it might have worked as my vegatbles did turn out better?

[Granted, the seeds used were part of her father's company but...! She liked to think it was also part of her hard work too.]

There you go! [ Aerith looks pleased, and encouraged, as she approaches the church and opens the door for her new friend. ] Sounds like a rousing success to me!

[ She'll have to try it sometime...

For now, though, she moves inside the Lemon Cello Church and gestures or Haru to pass first. ]

Ta-da! We're here!

[The moment Haru looked at the church, she couldn't help but stare in awe. She didn't know why but she couldn't look away, all she could do was place her gaze at the flowers and how tranquil everything looked.

She was in disbelief before looking back at Aerith.]

Is this really from your world? This look amazing, I'm a little jealous you have a place like this here.

Thanks. [ Aerith replies, smiling softly, but with warmth. ] Most of it's from back home... Everything but the café. And - [ She continues, pointing upward at the in-tact roof. ] it's missing a big hole up there from where two different guys fell through. Talk about coincidence, am I right?

[ Or something. For now, she walks Haru over to where her flowers are growing, right in the middle of the floor, and squats down beside them. ]

And these...are my babies! Say "hi," everyone. [ There's a pause, in which the flowers don't say a word, but the brunette will nod as if they have. Then, Aerith straightens up again, glancing around. ] So...fertilizer, right? I'll get some from the back. Just wait one sec!

[ And she'll vanish into a door behind and off to the side of the altar. ]

[As she looked up, she had to raise an eyebrow. Out of all things to be missing, why would there be a hole?]

It is but I hope both of them were okay in the end. It seemed like it would be a pretty big fall.

[Or at least, it seemed like it would be if they were able to make a hole from the roof! Regardless, as soon as Aerith started talking to the plants, Haru had to smile along with her. She did a small wave to the flowers before looking back at the other.

When Aerith goes off to fetch the fertilizer, she gave a small sigh.]

I really hope we would be able to get along. It is strange to meet people who are willing to be so nice...[She mumbled to herself as she waited]

[ Aerith is back before long, pushing a wheelbarrow (with just a bit of difficulty) laden with bags of fertilizer out from the back. She stops in front of Haru, heaving a sigh before brushing off her hands and planting them on her hips. ]

And there you have it! You can take as much as you want. [ And the wheelbarrow, too, if she wants... This stuff is heavy! ] I hope this helps!

[ She'll be interested to see if the veggies grow just as well as the flowers, in any case. ]

[As Haru saw Aerith pushing the wheelbarrow, Haru went over with an impressed look on her face. Leaning over to the wheelbarrow, she just smiled at the other girl.]

You are rather strong, did you know that? [She said before attempting to pick up one of the bags] And yes, this helps plenty but you didn't need to go that far!

Who, me? [ She laughs, surprised and flattered. ] Huh... I guess I've just got all these muscles from my gardening! [ She makes a show of flexing, now, and then laughs again at her own display. ]

Happy to help. [ The brunette affirms, nodding. ] You can just take whatever you need! I feel like we're all here, in the same boat, so...why not do what we can for each other, you know?

[ How else would they spend their time? ]

[Looking back at Aerith, Haru didn't know how to respond back. It was so rare to see people help one another out and especially when people barely knew one another.

It was a lot to take in for the poor girl.]

I suppose but I'm not use to having others help me. Or at least, it's not very common as I am use to doing a lot of things by myself.

Really? Well...I think it's good to be able to do things for yourself, because you never know what might happen, but...it's also okay to ask for help, when you need it. [ Her smile softens, and she shrugs, as if to lessen the sentiment, should Haru be overwhelmed by the intensity Aerith uses while interacting with strangers. ] So, if you ever need anything, let me know! And there're lots of people here who would lend a hand, too.

[ She's definitely experienced that for herself when she's needed a little help around this strange, new world. ]
