[pinkmin]

♥ Who: You~ (and Vianca)
♥ Where: Shopping District - a new shop!
♥ When: January/February (Lasra/Nalom)
♥ What: Open Mingle Log
♥ Rating: Probably Pretty G

With the coming of Lasra, there was at least one new shop opening its doors in the quiet bustle of the Shopping District! There had been a distinct lack of places to simply sit in that district, but look no further if you were searching for such a spot. There are warm lights on inside, with the sights of large, comfy chairs and couches beckoning from the welcoming windows.

At times, from the same windows, you can catch sight of a pink little girl sitting near the glass, thumbing through an honest-to-goodness paper book.

Walking through the door would earn you a soft greeting. Welcome to Petals & Pages~


It's an Open Mingle Log!!
+ Shop Info is here, plus book requests.
+ Vianca will have her own top-level, and can reply to yours, but this log isn't just for interacting with her!
+ Feel free to use this post for your own plans how you please! The only House Rule is that you gotta sit with someone and get some sweet Dora, it doesn't have to be Vianca~ This includes multiple top-levels if you desire, since the log is for two months.
+ Have! Fun!!

That was Nita's thinking, certainly - especially if Vianca wanted to diversify and add other plants in on top of the grass.

She nodded along as Vianca explained (there were a lot of steps involved, and she suspected it wasn't easy getting any natural material out of the gardens!), then blinked at the final explanation.

"Oh. So they're of something you personally know of, not just something that can be found on any world."

It's not precisely a question, though Nita was curious.

[pinkmin]

"Correct. They are not native to my past home either, so they were a surprise."

Any seeds would have been a surprise, actually, but especially these ones! Finding the nectar grass to grow for her sister had been such a big to-do, and that kind Venusaur had been the only one she trusted to grow it properly. They hadn't had that many chances for it!

She didn't have that many chances for it here, either, which was precisely why she was deliberating over it for so long.

Nita looked around the setup once, twice more, before concluding:

"They're not just plants, are they? They're special."

That, or it related to past, painful memories - but something about that didn't quite add up.

Nita probably just didn't have the whole context.

"But, whatever it is, going through with it sounds better than thinking about what could be, positive or negative."

[pinkmin]

"They taste very good."

Truly a deep and powerfully sentimental answer. "They will also be good to have for emergencies, so yes. I hope they are able to grow well on this planet as well."

[unfavorableinstigation]

Nita blinked; that... wasn't quite what she thought she was going to hear, but then why should anything be what she expected?

"Emergency supplies are always good to have. Do these grow in a particular season, or does the weather set-up here negate that somehow?"

She'd noticed the weirdly-distributed weather to go with the fake sky, by this point.

[pinkmin]

"Hm. I have only encountered it in a greenhouse setting personally, so I would guess conditions that are spring-like or summer."

It wasn't anything that Olimar had actually taken any notes about, so she could't really reference that.

[unfavorableinstigation]

"I can help with that, then," Nita said, glancing back out the window.

"Since I don't think the weather here is entirely reliable; getting the right kind of glass and some lights shouldn't be too hard..."
