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!]

Comments

[forethinking]

(Ren has been here for long enough to have these thoughts calm down and not hijack his mind much, but he gets it if she is anxious and would like to get her mind off things.

He simply shakes his head.)

I don't think they need it. (Because really, his own plants are alive and kicking and he does the bare minimum. They never seemed to need more than that. There might be somewhere Haru might like to see, though.)

We do have a flower shop.

B!

[blue_eyed_obsession]

[As the resident gaming expert, or at least he considered himself the most qualified for that role, it was a bit irritating that there were so few games to choose from. Though he wasn't interested in playing the pinball machine himself, at least not now, he couldn't help but offer up some commentary when he saw her abysmal score]

Why even bother to mash the flippers if the result is always going to be the same?

[It was shocking really- how anyone could be this bad at such a simple contraption]

Just let the balls roll straight off the table and be done with it.

[bluecastleace]

[It’s an understatement to say that when Iwaizumi first discovered the would-be Aoba Johsai gymnasium he had been thrilled - well, maybe a mix of thrilled, wistful, and all around emotional. He’s been spending a great deal of time there since - probably the majority of his time actually, so it’s only natural that he’d be passing through, likely on his way to do some lifting himself, when he sees Haru giving herself a pep talk with a 40-pound weight. The future athletic trainer in him can’t help but pause to watch her, a somewhat amused smile on his face.]

It’s an arm workout, yeah, but don’t forget to put some tension in your legs too. Steel yourself, you know?

[Unsolicited advice, but hopefully not ill-received - you never know in this place.]

[king_in_dreams]

[Noct really doesn't mean to, but he's kind of staring. He promises he's just watching her struggle with the pinball machine, though, and not at Haru herself, though it's kinda hard to tell. He's also trying not to throw off her concentration, but he can't really help it when she loses again.]

Good thing it's just kinda on free play, huh?

[He's teasing, he promises.]

B!

[menaretrash]

[ Ann's been sitting here, watching Haru play for a while, looking absolutely amused as her friend hits the little silver ball around on the inside of the machine. She's certainly determined, which makes it even more amusing, honestly. After a while, though, she stands up to peer over poor Haru's shoulder, arms folded under her chest as she watches the ball. ]

Hey, you're getting better! See? Practice makes perfect!

[bridge_princess]

[The most likely way that these two would have ever encountered each other for a first time was here. The bridge across the river into the void was out and behind the bar from some distance. That dirt path that led to it, and to the Hashihime's shrine next to the bridge, was the primary lifeline Parsee had to the world, so she made regular appearances here. Something of an old specter that haunted this place from time to time.

Slipping in one day, she caught sight of a new face, staring at the pinball machine and working up quite the determined furor. She walked over, quietly looking over the girl's shoulder at the score with her glittering green eyes.]

Bet you do better than me. I suck at that thing.

[Always the jealous one, this girl...]

[anciently]

Fertilizer? Yup! You've come to the right girl!

[ Aerith, having just been leaving her own little apartment, pauses as this stranger poses the question. When she hears how she can help, though, she grins and offers a thumbs-up. ]

I run the Lemon Cello Church - where the flowers are growing in the middle of the floor? So, I've got some of that stored in the back. [ She takes a few more steps, then turns and tilts her head curiously. ] If you aren't busy, you can come over with me and get some. What do you think?
