[OOC/Filter: Here's the deal. Youji intended for this post to be ladies-only, but due to a variety of factors--lack of familiarity with the device, the gender ambiguity of some names, and the weather messing with the Dreamberries--it's pretty much failed. So anyone is free to see this post (or not see it!), but if you're not a cute girl over 18, he's going to be polite, but unenthusiastic. XD]

[Youji is sitting back on his couch, looking charmingly sheepish and pleasantly cheerful.]

Hello!

I'm laid up with a broken leg, and rather bored. I don't suppose anyone could help me out...? Any recommendations are appreciated. Books, movies, snacks, art supplies, or just your sparkling conversation!

Well Basil has been just the sweetest little bunny! And terribly helpful since the day I arrived! I would love for you to meet him Mr. Yo-gee!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Maybe we can arrange something when the weather clears up. You can meet some of my friends, too, I'm sure they'd like you. [Youji doesn't want to be left alone with small children, even if he does think they're sweet.]

What does he help you with?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh well... I plan on holding a tea party when summer is here! Would you like to come?

Basil finds me maps, and gets me little lists for shopping, and he turns into the berry!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

A tea party? That sounds like excellent fun. I'll be the first one there!

[The berry...? Oh. So it doesn't always have to be a cell phone? Strange.]

He must be a very clever bunny.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Splendid! I'm so excited you'll come!

Oh yes, the cleverest bunny!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I wouldn't miss it for the world.

I've never met a bunny who could make shopping lists and give you maps, so he must be.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

You should meet Mr. Rabbit then! And Mr. March!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

More friends of yours? I'd be delighted to.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well if they come to the tea party you can meet them then!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Well, now I doubly can't wait to attend.

Who else are you inviting, Miss Alice?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmmm.... oh goodness! Well I'm not entirely sure. I don't think I could invite everyone in Somarium. I simply wouldn't have enough food or invitations!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

That would be difficult.

Maybe you could have more than one tea party, and stagger your resources?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmm... We'll see I suppose. There's not going to be any tea party in this sort of weather.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Definitely not. This is more like "tea while wrapped in a blanket" weather.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh very much so! And I have the very warmest blanket! It's fluffy and light blue. But I hope spring comes soon! This ice storm is terribly gloomifying! I've never seen such a terrible storm before!

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Fluffy blankets are the best kind.

Were you here last winter?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I've only been here since December I'm afraid. But the winters in England were never this bad.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Really now? This must be quite a difficult change for you.

I'll bet the spring in England is very lovely, then.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

At first it was lovely. I made a snow man. But now? I just want to see flowers again.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

I understand. Winter always seem long, and spring not long enough.

You know, I work in a flower shop. [Or will.] What's your favorite flower?

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Hmm... My favorite flowers are white and pink lilies! What's your favorite?

//brb looking up language of flowers & hanakotoba

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

Those are good choices. White lilies mean "purity," did you know that?

I like orchids. [He gives them to girls, anyway.]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

No I didn't! What do pink ones mean!

And orchids are very pretty too.

[slantedcross.livejournal.com]

"Wealth and prosperity." Nice sentiment, right?

Orchids used to be very popular flowers, you know. People used to go on expeditions to South America just to find new species of them.

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

I think the language of flowers sounds lovely. Although if you speak with them they most certainly don't say or sound like what they mean.

[Pauses because even to her that sounds like a bit confuddled but she can't help that.]

I didn't! But why travel across the ocean just to find a new species?

[Though she supposes if you're going to travel to a new country to find something, flowers are a certainly good reason. She's guilty of traveling through another world to find a beautiful garden.]
