It's taken a little time, but now Roxas, too, has fallen victim to the infectiousness of the underwater springtime. There are just so many flowers everywhere! How can he not be cheerful about it?

...and how can he not want to share it with everyone? Normally he moves about the city making no effort to interact with people he doesn't know, but today he seems to have almost the same outgoing nature as the two boys he shares a face with.

Roxas can be found around the city sans coat with an ever-changing collection of flowers in his arms as he gives some away and picks up new ones. There might be someone in particular he intends these flowers for, but he's in no rush to locate him. After all there are so many other people to hand them out to.

Xion's made several trips into the plaza in her exploration of the bubble, usually with a particular type of location she wants to find for future reference. Today though, the bubble seems a bit brighter with the coming of the flowers. She finds it a welcome change from the events of the past months, and Xion eventually ends up forgetting her previous task as she just enjoys the day.

She shouldn't be hard to track down at all, her exploration now a lazy walk in the park.

[coolerthansora]

Oh, the park. The park is an excellent place for flower-picking!

Roxas is walking along one of the paths when he spots Xion some distance ahead through the trees. Picking up his pace, he plucks out a handful of the flowers he's carrying and holds them out to her as he greets her.

"Hey, Xion."

[imaginarytides]

She turns at the sound of her name, and smiles when she sees it's Roxas.

"Hi. It's a nice day to be outside, huh?"

She gestures toward the flowers, "Are those for me?"

[coolerthansora]

"Yeah, it is."

He nods at her second question and extends his hand a little farther. "They're really- brightening the place up. I thought I should spread it around."

[imaginarytides]

She gladly takes the flowers, her smile never faltering-- growing brighter if it's even possible. "Thank you. I think everyone could use some cheering up after all those nightmares a few weeks ago."

She looks around at the multitude of other flora that dominates the park landscape. "They sprang up really quickly, though. Is this just what spring is like here?"

[coolerthansora]

Roxas's smile does grow a bit distant at that, and he nods. He's been trying not to think too much on those nightmares. There were a lot of bad memories there, and he just wants to make new ones.

But his smile soon brightens again as he adjusts the remainder of the flowers he's carrying and looks around. "I dunno. I mean, flowers blooming underwater is pretty unusual to begin with, right?"

[imaginarytides]

"That's true." She seems largely unconcerned with this fact, though. "We'd better enjoy them while they last!"

She notices the large bundle he's carrying, quirking an eyebrow bemusedly. "I'm guessing you were planning on sharing those with more than just me?"

[Should you seek Chibi out, Roxas, you'll actually find him... in front of your own house...

This week, Chibi has taken it upon himself to take flowers to every friend he has and if he knows where they live, he does a little extra! Currently, that appears to be digging up the lawn, plopping bunches of uprooted flowers into the holes, then covering them back up. He's making a small flower garden around the perimeter, it seems?]

[coolerthansora]

[Well, near his house is as good a place as any to find people to give flowers, right?

Although... it seems like Little Sun already has some of his own. Roxas stops to watch this endeavor.]

Are you... making me a garden?

[sonlight]

Arf! [That's right! Do you like it?

It's not very organized, this garden. Chibi isn't all that good at color coordination, so there's about every color flower there can be all places willy-nilly.]

[coolerthansora]

[That's okay. Roxas has seen gardens but he still doesn't have much idea of how they're meant to be laid out. As far as he's concerned, you're doing a great job.]

It's nice. Really colorful.

[flared]

...Why are there so many flowers everywhere. Axel wasn't kidding when he told Demyx that he was allergic to them, at least to a certain degree, so he'd been trying his best to stay away from the outside as much as possible. However, with a bit of cabin fever, he chanced it anyway and wandered out, trying to stay as far away from the flowers as he could before he'd either a) sneeze to death or b) have his eyes pop out from being so sick of being itchy.

He's wandering around now, then, hands shoved in his pockets and his legs moving without much direction.

Oh dear what a day.

[coolerthansora]

Target spotted.

Unfortunately, Roxas isn't aware that his best friend is allergic to flowers. It isn't something that ever really came up, although even if he did know he'd probably still feel compelled to give Axel at least one.

Deciding to make a bit of a surprise of it, Roxas gathers up the flowers he's carrying into a makeshift bouquet and hides it behind his back before he approaches Axel. Not that the grin on his face is really hiding anything.

"Axel!"

[flared]

As much as he doesn't particularly like them, Axel suppose that flowers from his buddies can't be so bad, right? Or...maybe. He's still walking along and trying to let time just burn away before suddenly he spots Roxas up ahead and stops to greet him. "Yo." ...Is that something behind his back? He decides not to question it just yet and instead glances around them to point out the flowers that have just popped out of nowhere.

"It's like something straight out of Wonderland, huh?"

[coolerthansora]

Roxas follows his gesturing and nods a bit. "I don't think anyone's been painting these, though."

He looks back at Axel, his smile widening before he pulls out the bouquet and holds it out. "Here. I thought you might like some." Why, he couldn't exactly say, but if he's going to be giving out flowers then his best friend should be at the top of the list, right?

[flared]

He's staring at a couple of the flowers before he suddenly hears Roxas speak up again and when he looks over there are flowers right there. Near his face. Oh. He's not...quite sure what to say about that. For a beat all he can do is rub the back of his neck, perhaps a little more than flustered, before he figures that he shouldn't be rude and reaches out to accept the bouquet.

"Gee. Well--Thanks, Roxas." Now he feels kind of dumb for not getting the kid anything. ...But of course that feeling starts to fade a little once he actually holds the flowers to get a better look at them. "...Heh. Y'know, these are pretty nice, I guess."

[coolerthansora]

Not that Roxas was expecting anything in return; it's not like it's any holiday he knows of. Just springtime. And he doesn't really know any protocol behind giving people flowers anyway.

Mostly he's just glad Axel actually took them.

"Aren't they? They smell pretty good, too."

[flared]

...What is this feeling going on inside right now.

Axel stares at the flowers for a little bit longer before he glances back up at Roxas and in spite of himself manages a smile. It should feel weird, but for whatever reason it's not so bad right now. "Would you actually believe I'm allergic to them?"

/slowly gathers KH CR

[faithqueen]

Why, thank you very much Ve... Oh. [Minnie has to do a double take here. You look so much like Ventus, but not quite.

Still, her smile doesn't waver, if anything it simply grows. A new person means a new friend after all.] Oh, do forgive my rudeness. You look like someone I know. My name is Minnie, and you are?

o/

[coolerthansora]

[Oh, it's Minnie! He's not the slightest bit surprised at being mistaken for Ven as he hands her the flower, though his smile does widen when she realizes he's not Ven.]

It's Roxas. Nice to meet you, ah, Your Majesty.

Re: o/

[faithqueen]

Oh, just Minnie is fine, please. [Humble mouse is humble.] It's very nice to meet you too Roxas.

Have you been here long?

[coolerthansora]

Okay. Minnie then. [No objections here.] I've been here since last month.

[And then, because he doesn't know when she got back.] King Mickey was worried about you. He knows you're okay, right?

Orz for the late. Was waiting for the thread with mickey to progress a bit more*.

[faithqueen]

Why yes, he does. The silly mouse ran himself ragged. [Lineface forever. Honestly.]

How he never passed out from exhaustion before I returned I shall never know. [She'll just shake her head though, and turn to another topic.] How are you enjoying your time here then, dear?

no worries!

[coolerthansora]

I guess he was just determined not to. [Seems legit.]

Me? I'm... actually having a lot of fun.

Re: no worries!

[faithqueen]

How very like him then. [She has a fond smile despite her almost disproving tone.]

Oh that's wonderful to hear. Might I ask what you have found to do?
