[open + 1 closed + 1 semi-closed] a pocket full of posies
Who: A + B: Shun and anyone! C: Shun and Ren, D: Shun and existing CR
What: Shun attempts to relocate a substantial portion of his temple garden to his Near Shore shrine. This goes about as well as you'd expect.
When: June 22nd
Where: A: Nekhbet's Temple and surrounds, B + C: A seemingly innocuous Near Shore park (a.k.a. Nekhbet's shrine), D: Network/anywhere!
A + B: Open
[A: Morning, Nekhbet's Temple]
[There are a lot of things Shun could say about having a rapidly growing garden of funerary and death-themed flowers, and most of them are some form of complaint. However, with recent events on the Near Shore and disappearances on the Far Shore, he's decided it's about time he made his shrine look a bit more lived-in, and if there's any good way to do that, it's hitting two birds with one stone and thinning out his garden to use for decorative purposes. Ignoring the fact that he has no idea how to decorate anything these days, because he'll deal with that hurdle when he reaches it.
The strange hill-shaped temple isn't difficult to spot even from a distance, and the large, tree-enclosed garden to one side even less so. The dwelling vultures are a little agitated today, rustling wings and hopping from tree to tree as they try to get a better look at Shun, who's moving along the edge of the garden with a dagger in hand. With how much the flowers have grown out, there's only an incredibly narrow strip for Shun to walk on between them and the shallow pools flanking the main path, but as always, he walks as if his every step is certain.
At certain plants, he'll stop, either taking one flower stem or a few at once and pushing neatly through them with the knife in his hand. Apparently nobody ever told him pruning shears were a thing, or he just didn't want to bother with that.
There's already a budding line of flowers down the middle of the garden path, loosely arranged by type and then colour, which Shun goes back to add to each time he cuts more. It's probably obvious to most people that he has far too many cut for any purpose other than maybe starting a florist's, but he doesn't seem to care, and the garden barely looks like it's been pruned.
He'll acknowledge anyone who comes to the mouth of the garden...just maybe try not to do it while his back is turned, since he is still holding a knife.]

[B: Afternoon, Park/Shrine]
[There's a lot of nice parks around on the Near Shore, and the quiet ones can be especially nice. This one in particular is off a small and relatively low-density street, the entrance flanked by currently unlit lanterns, and looks like the kind of spot someone might elect to have a picnic. There's tables, a large and venerable-looking tree over near the back...and, of course, the tiny shrine building (more the size to house vultures than any kind of human) that looks like it was made by some very dedicated follower, built and painted simply and surrounded by offerings of flowers. Today, there's also a very eye-catching one lying across the shrine "balcony"; a large arrangement of purple and orange flowers, done with not the skill of someone who actually knows what they're doing, but the care of someone determined to do it anyway and make it good.
Also in the park today is Shun, who's commandeered a picnic table with his excessive amount of flowers and is currently sorting through them with a rather critical eye. When he comes across one that looks on the dead or dying side, he runs his fingers carefully up the stem, focusing intently on the flower, and after a few moments, the petals liven up and heal, the natural decay reversing to return them to full bloom.
Unfortunately, the need for focus means Shun isn't in a particularly welcoming mood towards distractions right now, so any Far Shore residents hanging around the park may or may not feel upon them the kind of stare that could probably bore through concrete given long enough.]
If you're just going to be a distraction anyway, you might as well put it to some use over here. [Translation: he's...asking for help. Kind of. Not really, but still.]
[C: Closed to Ren, late afternoon/early evening]
[After several attempts at putting together certain flowers and getting the impression they just look wrong (and that if even someone like him who doesn't really give a damn is noticing, then others certainly will), Shun decides to cut his losses and text maybe the one person he can trust to help with this and be a tolerable presence for the amount of time it will probably take.
So sometime later in the afternoon, Ren gets a text containing a picture of the table overflowing with sorted flowers, and Shun's shrine in the background in the hopes that he'll recognise it from that evening they walked back there.]
Need someone who knows more about how flowers go together than me. I'll explain why if you help.
[D: Closed to existing CR, evening]
[So as it turns out, Shun absolutely cut way too many flowers, and though he definitely knows one person who'll want them, there's still a ton that aren't really spoken for. So anyone Shun knows the name of (or god name, in those cases) and doesn't hate stands a chance of getting a very brief text containing an image of a table still covered in flowers, but with vastly less than there were earlier. There's quite a variety - roses, lilies, crysanthemums, orchids, and so on - and it might be hard to pick up on the funerary and death associations of every single one of them unless one is very well-versed in flower language.]
Trying to get rid of these. Pick some out and you can have them.
[[Any kind of death or funeral-associated flower is fair game to request, even if it's not listed there.]]

And if arms length isn't good enough, she doesn't stay that way for long. When he turns to leave, she follows almost along side him. She even quickens her shorter stride to keep up with his longer one.]
I still think it would be nice if you named them all. But I guess you're right Kuroro-kun! Maybe one day I'll get to see all your feathery housemates!
[She giggles heading inside]
I donno if I can carry them all by myself so I might ask Yuto or Davesprite to stop by if they don't mind. I can't pass up on flowers from you!
no subject
I'm not going to waste time with something like that. But I don't doubt you'll see all of them eventually.
[As is somewhat typical of him when dealing with Hajime, there's a tone of faint exasperation to his words, like he's not quite sure how to reasonably deal with her personality.
Heading inside as well, Shun spares Hajime a rather sharp glance at the suggestion.]
I did ask people other than you, you don't need all of them. But if you want more than you can carry, send Yuto instead of the one I don't know.
[He couldn't guarantee he wouldn't assume the other guy was some manner of threat.]
no subject
[She loves her exemplar to death but somehow picturing him and Shun even in the same room together is hard for her to do. Davesprite speaks his mind, which she really loves but with Shun, who is super stiff and serious...its hard to really picture how things would go down. It would be better to send Yuto, after all, they need to rekindle their friendship already! Yuto needs more friends, Shun needs more friends. These two need to be best friends again, lack memories be damned.]
I'll send Yuto then if it happens. Maybe you two could play catch up.
[She hums knowningly as she skips inside.]
I won't take all your flowers. Gotta share with everyone else but it'll be nice having more Kuroro-kun reminders around the temple! You really should visit more. You're always welcome at my place, you know?
no subject
Progress, but not much. Then again, they haven't had a great deal of meaningful time together, from his point of view.]
There's already enough people here taking up my time trying to make friends. I don't need more.
[He values his friends, but he tends to keep to a precious few. Spreading the word too far makes it lose its meaning to him, and forcing it even more so.
It is true that Shun hasn't had the chance to see Yuto in a while, though, and he doesn't need the knowing sound to merely incline his head in agreement to that.]
I pass your temple on patrols, but that's not a time I'd stop and visit. I'm mostly making sure nothing's out of place. [Read: he's making sure Yuto isn't in any immediate danger.] And when Yuto still doesn't know me well enough here to seek me out, I'm not going to keep showing up at your temple and hope it works. That's not the kind of thing that develops anything but naturally.
no subject
[Hajime holds her hands together before spreading them wide. She knows it's possible to be friends with Yuto. Sora has done it. She's a friend too but being his god sort of makes it a bit easier. They do live together after all.]
Don't pop up everyday, but visit more! Just to say hi!
no subject
It doesn't take much talking to me to know that I don't visit people "just to say hi". He'd get suspicious, and that's the last thing I need. [Both for the potential repairing of their friendship and for Yuto's continued health in this place.] I want to make friends with him again, but it's harder when you're putting together two unsociable people. We don't manufacture excuses to spend time together like people with your kind of personality.
