The Blooming 🌼 01
Some get their names etched into the shrine in the Ruins, while others disappear after a day. Uncertain if this is a game for you? Curious to see how your character would act in it? Testing the waters? Then you're welcome to this Home Tree Test Drive! directions 🌹 Don't forget to view the Arrival, our Rules and check the F.A.Q. prompts 🍃 THE MEET AND GREET  Each Blooming, a feast is supplied on the Food Altar. Berries, nuts, mushrooms and more have been served in larger portions to fill all stomachs, and both honey-sweetened water and berry juice is served to the thirsty. Tables and chairs are set up everywhere along the walkway between the houses, allowing the new visitors to meet and greet - or try to hide in the corners and eat berries all by themselves. Try your new wings to be the first to grab those delicious crumbs of walnut bread? Or say hi to your party lights, courtesy of some excited glow-worms and fireflies that just want to be your best friends. 🍃 THE FASTEST OF THEM ALL Speaking of those wings, isn't it time to really try them out? The Servant Chime is excitedly waving her hands and pointing upwards to the next floors, mimicking taking off as fast as possible and timing them. Some attempts might be difficult, while others catch on quickly. Unfortunately the somewhat dangerous crystal floors can easily knock a faerie down, or even tear their new wings - so caution there is needed to keep this a bloodless race. The winner of each round gets a...  ...bottle cap. Well, nobody said there was even a price! 🍃 IT'S DUSTY IN HERE Another Servant, Tone, is ready to hand out vials to each of the new arrivals when they visit the Dust Fountain floor.  These small glass bottles come with attached rings to hang from your belt, and are about the size of an Adventurer's hand. Arrivals are welcome to fill their vial with any of the differently colored dusts, although he'll make serious musical tones of warning to anyone attempting to grab some black dust. (He won't stop you, though. Sometimes people just have to learn from their mistakes.) Despite the markings on the fountains, what these dusts actually do might be a little difficult to understand, but that's what trying them out is about, right? 🍃 EXTRA SOFT FRIENDS  There appears to be a small infestation of caterpillars in the Tree, but they're not here to cause any kind of chaos. No, these extremely fuzzy and soft little creatures are seeking out both the Life Stream and Adventurers for a big dose of happiness and pets. They seem to really crave some attention, and unlike many caterpillars with their appearance they're not poisonous or risking irritating any skin. No, they're silky smooth critters of floof with tiny red 'shoes' on their legs, about the size of a lapdog for the shrunken newcomers.  🍃 IN THE MOUNTAIN HALLS As the evening comes after the Blooming event, the sun is still out even at late hours this far north. The massive pines and spruces are casting long shadows, though, and the forest doesn't look as inviting anymore. Just as the first signs of night appears, the ground shakes so hard that even the Tree sways slightly, and the loudest yawn anyone has ever heard thunders through the land. Those brave enough to fly up over the canopy to see what on earth this is all about can catch one of the faraway mountains move just a little bit. A face can be seen in it, blinking a large, glowing eye at the setting sun before it closes again. Another tremor hits the forest as the giant(?!) appears to settle again.  Just what kind of place have you been sent to, where such giant things exist yet you're the size of a fairy? Are the other mountains creatures as well? 🍃 WILDCARD Have something else in mind?

Re: 2
[Cool, this was exactly what she wanted. When she thought she could escape this painless, she was not only growing her own garden but her misfortune gets to be snarked about too! Truly, a fun day was being had.
She shifted in her seat, trying to not look bothered. As deadpan as ever, she spoke.]
You must be green with envy about that.
no subject
Honestly? A little. I can't get my plants at home to bloom half as well as you're doing right now.
no subject
[Awkward motion of her hands, jazz hands.]
...Magic.
[Okay, enough of that. At least this person wasn’t acting like a jerk off the bat. It helped.]
Or a series of unfortunate events.
no subject
[Her tone sounds dryly amused. Not quite sarcastic but give her a bit, she might get there.
Eva gives Daria an analytical look and hums a little under her breath.]
The plants aren't growing from you, are they?
no subject
[A sigh as she motioned to the fountain.]
I didn't want any part of this but fate had other plans. Green and plants at least make sense.
no subject
Guess I know where to go for fertilizer then.
[That said she looks back, a brow raised.]
You want some help out of that greenery then? I didn't want to start tugging if it was hooked onto you or anything.
no subject
[Dismissive but not at all cold or nasty. No reason to be so to someone being perfectly polite considering.
Still, she began to shift a bit, as if to move.
Not successful. Furry bug friend WASN’T helping.]
no subject
[She says it in such a matter of fact way that one gets the impression she's said it more than once before. Client-facing job maybe? Probably.
Either way she can't help but see the big of fluff doing what it does best - getting in the way. Kind of cat-like then, hm?]
First the fireflies and now these things. I think this place is itching to give us pets to go with the wings.
no subject
[Still, her distrust was apparent in this new home of theirs. After a small sigh, Daria had realized that being so secretive about her name of all things wasn't going to help keep her safe. Again, this person wasn't the worst she could encounter here.]
It's Daria.
