Flower PSA

[glazedonutholes]

[ The recording opens with Donut standing in front of his bed that's currently covered in an ocean of flower petals. Beside him stands a decorated bike that holds a few bouquets. ]

Hey guys! Private Donut here from the popular Bluehaus with another friendly PSA. 

As you all know, it's February and that means love is in the air! For those of you unfamiliar with Earth lingo, this is the month we celebrate a little thing called Valentine's Day! It's a day when a guy in a diaper named Cupid hits you with an arrow and BAM! Instant love at first sight! Isn't it great?! 

[ He vibrates with giddy delight. ]

Well! I've been hard at work collecting all sorts of seeds in anticipation and now it's time for all of them to bloom! As your friendly neighborhood Flower God, I'll be making fresh bouquets for anyone who wants them! And this month only [ he throws his hands out to show off the bike - TADA! ] - 
I'll be making home deliveries!

You just tell me what you'd like and [he starts reciting the postal service motto ] neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays this Flower God from swift delivery! I got all sorts of bouquets for all tastes! There's your friendship ones, your first date ones, pure love, wild love, going steady, and all sorts of other ones for every occasion! 

So... [ Here he rocks back on his heels, his hands behind his back. ] I was thinking, if any of you have a little time to spare next month, maybe you can help me set-up a real flower shop and help me move-in upstairs? You know what they say, it takes a village. 

[ He keeps rocking back and forth on his heels, buzzing with so many vibrant emotions they spill over and behind him the larkspur flowers start to bloom. Reds and blues. Purples. Whites. A whole rainbow of colors come to life. ]

Either way, I love Valentine's Day, so I'd do this for free! [ He smiles before remembering - ] I'll be accepting orders all month! 

[ He waves at the recording. ] 

Happy Hearts!

You really think so?!

[ He's super anxious about it and super excited! ]

I try only to grow them with a special person in mind. Though, the larkspur just grows without my telling them. They're wild little things like that.

[carrotkeeper]

Special person, huh? Come on, you can't just leave it at that-who is it?

[Hold up, Larkspur sounds a bit familiar. That's some kind of toxic plant, isn't it? She vaguely recalls reading about it, but there are many flowers out there. Maybe this is just a mental floral mixup or so she hopes.]

Uh, hold that thought-don't those make people sick? You aren't handing out those flowers, are you?

[glazedonutholes]

Well, if someone wants a bouquet, I usually ask them who it's for and what feelings they want to get across and I grow them based off of that.

[ He already poisoned one of his roommates with his super special extra toxic larkspur tea~ ]

What do you mean?

[carrotkeeper]

[Man, she thought she was gonnna hear some juicy secrets about someone he liked.

Oh well!! Time to focus on This Big Important Thing.]

The Larkspur flowers. I'm pretty sure they can make people sick, but-

[If everyone's careful with them, it's probably fine?? Don't make tea, for one. Surely no one's done that.]

I don't know how bad.

[glazedonutholes]

Really?

[ He looks back at his bed filled with red larkspur petals. He likes to sleep in a bed of them at night. ]

I've been around them forever and I feel fine.

[ They're also your namesake flower, the one you were named after. They can't hurt you! This is also why he hasn't figured it out. That they're toxic. ]

[carrotkeeper]

Really?

[This boy need supervision and she doesn't sound all that convinced. Maybe they aren't as toxic as she remembers?? Maybe they're talking about different things??? Everyone's from some wild worlds afterall.]

If you say so. Do you need help delivering the flowers?

[ He nods in affirmation before a wattage smile slips on. ]

I make super special tea infusions with them to drink every night before bed!

[glazedonutholes]

[ A slow, owlish blink. ]

Why do you want to know? Do you think, I can't do it?! That I won't be able to make it on my own?!

[ His face falls at the very thought. ]

[carrotkeeper]

[OKAY???

Yes, this boy. This man. This something clearly needs help somehow because tea infusions are sure. Something. Oh my god, Donut. She needs to get over there and see what's going on with her own two eyes, somehow.

How does she salvage this???]

No, no-you can. You're doing a great job. It's just-

[A plan. Some kind of plan?? An excuse?? She wracks her brain for a-]

Everyone needs an assistant. And you seem pretty busy.

[glazedonutholes]

[ And just like that he's easily swayed. ]

Really?! You really want to help me?!

[ He goes from zero to 100 in 2 seconds flat. Welcome to Red Team~ ]

That'd be great!!! Oh! We can wear matching aprons, come up with bouquet ideas, drink a glass a wine, do each other's hair! It'll be like a sleep over! With flowers!

[carrotkeeper]

[That checks out, honestly. She's having a hard time keeping up with his shifting demeanor, but that does sound fun.]

Yeah, and paint eachother's nails. Oh, I could put little flower designs on them. Then they'll really know we mean business.

[glazedonutholes]

That sounds awesome!!!

We definitely have to get together before I open up my Flower Shop! You can give me some pointers!
