Who: Tot and you
What: Someone takes her "job" seriously or as seriously as she can get.
When: 5/12 - whenever (pick a date, any date)
Where: Antheia's gardens, some other gods' gardens (possibly yours), somewhere in the Near Shore (pretty much anywhere you want to be)
Warnings: Shouldn't be any.

❚❚❚ Flowers
[According to what she found on the internet, Antheia is the goddess of flower wreaths and crowns, specifically those worn at festivals. So, Tot's out hunting down flowers so she can practice. That's what she's supposed to do, right?

And while there is a pretty amazing selection around Antheia's temple, that doesn't mean much. She's going to pick plenty of the flowers from her own area, but if something pretty catches her eye while she's out, that flower is going in the collection as well.

She'll apologize if caught and offer to make whatever god whose land she trespassed on a crown of their own.]

❚❚❚ One for you, and one for you, and one for everyone!

[And what is she going to do with all those flower crowns and wreaths she made? Good question. Glad you asked!

Tot's going around different places at the Near Shore passing them out, of course! Who could refuse an adorable flower crown from someone dressed up like a cute little fairy? Obviously, the worst kind. Don't be that person.]

Comments

One for Zeno?

[eternalshield]

[Zeno isn't especially tall, but he bows his head when the crown is offered. It might look a little cluttered up there, between the wild mane of hair, the headband, and the gold crest dangling from the aforementioned headband, but cute little girls and flowers move one of the more tender corners of his heart, and he claps his hands together.]

Missy, Zeno is called a god here in these lands, and yet, nothing's felt quite so splendid as being anointed like this! What is the special occasion?

[papas_bunnydoll]

[She's so happy someone appreciates the flowers!]

Tot's supposed to be Antheia, so we've been practicing. They're supposed to be for festivals but it wouldn't be right to give out bad ones then.

[eternalshield]

So no special occasion yet.

[He touches one of the blooms gently... it's so soft.]

But you're going to make them all special! Everybody can be a king or a princess with a crown like this.

[It occurs to him to ask if she knows when the next festival calling for these will be, but honestly, if she doesn't need a festival now, then she won't need one later.]

[papas_bunnydoll]

We're supposed to help people. So, Tot thought it would be nice to give out the practice ones and make people happier.

[That and she gets to stand around in a cute costume. What else does a girl need?]

[eternalshield]

Zeno hasn't met a lot of people who think like that. It's so clear and obvious, but how else would you practice making people happy?

[Her version of a god's purpose reminds him of someone.]

And it's something people should practice. How else do you get good at it?

[papas_bunnydoll]

Exactly!

[Someone else gets it!]

Most people don't get it, but Tot wants to do her best.

[eternalshield]

[...okay, and now that's a pattern. The name thing. He adjusts his flower crown a jaunty angle. He doesn't comment on it, because the reason he does it is painful and impossible to explain, so he has no right to ask for it.]

You know what else is good practice? Teaching Zeno! Or even hiring Zeno to pick more flowers if you run out, that Zeno wouldn't have to learn!

[papas_bunnydoll]

[She doesn't even notice the name thing. As far as she's concerned, it's perfectly normal and everyone else is just weird.]

Tot could always use more help.

[Sometimes the flowers she finds aren't the best for wreaths and crowns - oops.]

But how would Tot pay you?

[eternalshield]

Pay?

[He just. No, not from a little girl. He has no need for it, anyway.]

Just in flowers, maybe! Zeno just likes giving them out. Maybe help convince Zeno's shinki partner to wear a couple, so Zeno can have pictures.

[papas_bunnydoll]

Tot can do that. We'll make something very pretty for them to wear!

[She'll even start planning it right now!]

What's their favorite color?

[eternalshield]

Hm... Zeno doesn't want to make assumptions.

[Zeno has actually never asked that question, and Shin-ah's never volunteered the answer. So he fires off a text message, and the response is...]

He says yellow. [Zeno laughs a little... he wonders if Seiryuu is trying not to hurt his feelings.]

If you can show Zeno to the yellow flowers, Zeno will be most happy.

[papas_bunnydoll]

Tot knows where there are a lot of those.

[Whether they're good for making crowns or wreaths from is a whole other question.]

[eternalshield]

[Trial and error... trial and error...]

You should see if there are flowers you can use by Zeno's temple, too. It's big and gold with a dragon out front, and flowers are for giving to people.

[papas_bunnydoll]

Oh, Tot will have to look there then as well!
