❀✾❃ 3rd Bloom ❃✾❀ [Video|Action]

[floralphantasm]

[The feed opens to show Yuuka smiling politely, but when is she ever not smiling? The video clearly shows the youkai's beautiful pristine garden behind her save for a few large holes, courtesy of a certain nameless fool, littered about her flower beds. A spade seems to be pointing out from the closest ditch. But pay those holes no mind~ Twirling

[Leto's lucky enough to be walking by when Yuuka makes her video post and polite enough (barely) to wait until she's finished before he says anything.]

I find it somewhat unlikely that simply consuming a herb would allow one to discover treasure. As for the locked doors, I am quite capable of finding--and opening--those without help. What other purpose does your little plant serve?

[Certainly not erosion maintenance. It's too small for that.]

[floralphantasm]

Funny, I find it unlikely that humans could understand such magic in the first place, and thus here we are~

[Twirling the stem connecting the leaves together in her hand, the smile spreads to a smirk.]

Past their fascinating treasure-finding properties, raskovnik would look beautiful lining the boarders of any bed, but who would use a legendary herb for decoration when it can be digested in order to harness the herb's true calling?

[skinnotmyown]

And who would use it for such a purpose? What you suggest as its "true calling" is nothing more than greed.

[floralphantasm]

I expect some foolhardy human looking for a quick thrill. Perhaps even a die-hard treasurer who is down on their luck~

[Shrug. Like she cares who uses it. As long as someone does at some point~]

A light scavenger hunt would not be classed as greed. 'Greedy' would be to scour my garden of sunflowers, not leaving a single golden petal to be enjoyed~ I am merely trying to provide others with a method of entertainment in this barren, boring cesspit of an enclosure.

[phantasmgap]

Ah, but Luceti appears to have a vast shortage of chthonic boars to root for fiercely guarded truffles.

I would, instead, inquire about the possibility of tea-quality hydrangea in your garden. I need not find treasures, but simply relaxation.

[floralphantasm]

But perhaps the prospect of finding rare truffles with little effort shall draw out the elusive boars. By no means are they an extinct breed, some will surely make themselves known in time~

Hydrangea to be strained for tea? I have often found myself turning to oleander for such pleasures, though who am I to argue other's opinions on tea~?

[phantasmgap]

Ah, but to what use is spending your entire life searching out a mythical treasure that lets you find treasures you could find on your own in a day's time? Or is that the fallacy?

I prefer my tea a bit on the sweeter side, with less of a bitter touch. That I can use such tastes to convince the recent influx of Buddhist-minded youkai in Gensokyo of my powers only aides my opinions.

[floralphantasm]

It is no concern of mine~ Should there be beings who wish to squander their time embarking on such a tedious method of performing an incredibly mundane task then so be it.

Jasmine might be an option should you be looking for a sweet tea, however it would lack the aftertaste hydrangea provides, courtesy of it's mild toxins. Teas and tastes aside, I was not aware of a growing number of such youkai. And to think, your own time is meant to remain stationary whilst you whittle away the days here~

[floralphantasm]

To the untrained eye perhaps. To one who dabbles amongst the flora on a regular basis, the differences are quite distinct~ I could list them to you, though I fear such information might travel right over your head.

[floralphantasm]

A wise decision~ [Oh, she might have a bite here...] But of course. You could always visit my gardens and see what mysteries hide beneath the earth yourself~ [Waving her hand, she motions towards the ditches in her garden behind her.] Some overzealous humans have already dug up my blooms so to uncover their own discoveries.

[As Yuuka works in her garden, she may notice a Pikachu with a flower on its head sniffing some of the plants. They smell so lovely mmmm. The Pokémon had scampered ahead of its trainer as they walked around so... here it is, alone for a moment. Hope you don't mind, Yuuka. |D]

[...What the heck is that. It certainly doesn't look like any youkai she's ever come across, and she has come across many youkai in her time. It probably isn't even a youkai. Oh Luceti, you have so many types of people/animals/miscellaneous~

The flower on it's head doesn't seem to be from her gardens... But hey, whatever that thing is, it's not human. She'll just watch carefully to make sure the yellow rat thing doesn't try anything.]

[Action]

[moehealer]

[Nah, Chuchu won't try anything. She's just enjoying the beautiful view of your garden, Yuuka. You should be flattered. In fact, she notices Yuuka staring at her and waves. Yep. A yellow rat is waving to you. You should be really flattered. And then she'll look off to the side for a moment to see her trainer making her way over.]

[Action]

[floralphantasm]

[You have no idea how flattered she is to see a yellow rat waving to her. So flattered in fact that it looks as though she isn't flattered at all. Instead she just keeps watching the creature, following its gaze when it looks away.

Lo and behold, what seems to be a boring human is coming this way... Well, back to gardening.]

[chronica]

Your words sound good, but your overly friendly tone is deceiving. I don't believe you.

[Yuuka does not like humans. Homura is very sure of it at this point.]

voice;

[floralphantasm]

Friendly? Dear me, that was not the approach I was aiming for. Polite perhaps, though friendly might be a bloom too boisterous~ However, this speech was aimed at the new additions to the herd, not so much the aged cattle.

As they say, 'seeing is believing'. Why not try the herb for yourself Homura and see how your beliefs change after it has graced your gullet~?

voice;

[chronica]

[What is a gullet...]

You're up to something again. You would never make a "polite" offer to people who you regard as lower than you.

voice;

[floralphantasm]

[Gullet {gul-let} Noun: The passage by which food passes from the mouth to the stomach; the esophagus. /nods]

'Again'? It's almost as though you're implying I had already attempted something in the past~ I'm not a person who seeks to start incidents, I much prefer watching them unfurl.
