Across Town and Through Portalocity, Tuesday Morning
Early in the morning, the flowers that had been ordered through the Student Council were carefully delivered to their respective recipients.
Some folks were definitely earning their half-priced chocolate tomorrow.
Group Flowers
To every resident (dorm and town) on the island

You are loved.

T.S.
Parker and Hardison
A gift basket
There aren't enough words to say thank you, not in all the languages in all the worlds. But still, thank you.
Love,
Kathy
Individual Flowers
Ada Miller
One Yellow Rose
I don't know why they don't have green, but they tell me this is for... friendship. I think this is what friends are? I'm still learning, but you've been invaluable to the process, and for that, I'm thankful. - Peridot
One Purple Carnation
For one of the best minions a guy could ask for. Stay awesome! - Sparkle
A bouquet of purple roses
This is for being a badass. Don't think I forget.
One pink rose
For you, rinkeni, to remind you that you are lovely.
Allie Sekemoto
Three yellow carnations
Happy Valentine's Day!
<3 Kitty
Alluka Zoldyck
A bouquet of fruit, with a new friend
A new friend from an old friend who's very glad she's around again to give you more. Hope you two get along! (And you can eat the chocolate-covered fruit first, but you should still eat all of it! It's good for you!)
Love you,
Kathy
Three pink roses
I hope you're having a wonderful day, Sunshine. - Papa
One Pink Carnation
For the cutest minion I've got! Happy Valentine's Day, Alluka! - Sparkle
Three Yellow Roses
I'm having a great adventure, but of course I can't forget the good friends I have back on the island. Wish you were here! - Milady
Anders
A single purple rose accompanied by a box of chocolate-dipped strawberries
I have been--and always shall be--your friend. Thanks for giving me another chance to prove it. Here's hoping I do better this time.
--Kathy
... a novelty pillow cushion.
With a couple of red roses inside.
We are getting so fucking smashed tonight.
A pair of light red carnations
I'm glad I trusted you. -- Ada
One peach rose.
I believe we're meant to show appreciation and affection on this day? Know you have mine. --Hyacinthe.
Three yellow roses
Thank you for talking to me this year too! -- Alluka
Atton
Six purple Carnations
Yeah, yeah, I know, this holiday is stupid. But here are flowers for your stupid face that you don't even have to worry about keeping alive. Thanks for, you know, being you. Even if 'being you' mostly means being a jackass. You're a jackass who's kind of family, and that's meant a lot to me. - Sparkle
Cassandra Pentaghast
3 white carnations
To my dearest friend. L.S.
Clint Barton
A dozen red roses
Every day I'm glad I met you. I love you.
Kitty
Dante
Bouquet of chocolate-dipped strawberries
Thank you for giving me a second chance. In more ways than one.
--Kathy
Three yellow roses
If this feels weird, just know I got flowers for all of my employees. Besides, it won't feel half as weird as the permission I'm about to give you to take that red and black guitar you've been playing home if you care to. One day of practice a week is hardly enough. - Jono
A pair of red roses
There's a jar of glitter to go with this, if you want to come claim it. -- Ada
One yellow rose.
To enjoying each other further in the future. Frequently. --Hyacinthe
Five yellow roses, one pink rose
I love you! Don't forget, okay? -- Alluka
Eliot Spencer
A bouquet of tea and cookies
My heart is too full for words, my seonsaeng-nim.
Love you,
Kathy
Six striped carnations
You went above and beyond in your dedication to catering our (many, many) weddings, and those efforts were very much appreciated. Thank you, mate. We'll definitely have to just chat over drinks, sometime. - Jonothon
One purple carnation
Hey, old man. Thanks for the job. It was either this, or I send you a stack of those pancakes your cook keeps insisting he make on Sundays, now. - Kanan
A dozen red roses surrounded by basil sprigs
Happy Valentine's Day. You gonna find a way to make this into something tasty for dinner, right? Love you.
Eponine Thenardier
Three yellow carnations
Happy Valentine's Day!
<3 Kitty
Ghanima
Three yellow roses
Lovely roses for a lovely friend. Thank you for all of your help getting me settled in around here. It was so good to see a familiar face when I arrived. - Nathan
Goodnight Robicheaux
One yellow rose
Just a nice gesture from one time-tossed idiot to another. Teaching with you has been a pleasure so far, and I hope you're settling in as well as can be expected. - Nathan Algren
Gratuity
One Yellow Rose
I promise, I'll never shove you off a roof again. You've been... a friend... I think. This IS what friendship looks like, right? I trust if I'm wrong, you'll tell me. You haven't hesitated to teach me about things I don't understand, before. - Peridot
One Purple Carnation
Hey, Tip! Thanks for doing the TA stuff for me this semester. God, I'd be totally lost without you. - Sparkle
Hannibal Lecter
21 Orange Roses
Orange for desire, enthusiasm, and fascination, 21 for devotion. Or blackjack, I suppose. You can take your time deciding which you prefer. I'll still be here when you're through.
One purple carnation
You've been like a father to me, and I appreciate that. Like, a lot. So thanks for that. - Sparkle
Six pink carnations
Thank you for looking out for me, Papa Hannibal!
Hardison
A white carnation with blue edging
I will never be able to thank you enough for not giving up on me. And for getting me home. This isn't much, but I hope you like it anyway. Love, Raven
A pair of silk roses dyed to look like pokeballs
Glad I caught you all or both whatever
they're hypoallergenic so don't fuss
Hyacinthe
Two lavender roses, one very dark pink bordering on red.
For being you. -- Ada
Ino
Five Yellow Roses
They didn't have sunflowers, to these will have to do. Welcome back, Iris. I hope things start looking up for you again soon. - Jono
11 Red Roses
Hey, look, I remembered what they mean! I hope. Maybe I'm wrong. I really really hope I'm not wrong. Anyway, it looks like we got back in time for that holiday with the chocolate and the flowers, so... Hey. Maybe I should stop filling the card and let the flowers do the talking, huh?
Isabela
One purple rose
I have greatly enjoyed our times together and hope they continue further. --Hyacinthe
A pink lily
To another year of chasing booty. -Dante
Three roses: one red, one orange, one yellow
Last year sending you flowers brought me good luck. Here's to an even better year. -- Ada
Jalian
One yellow rose
I admire your keenness for science and other topics that I find most humans don't seem to have an eye for. Thank you for making this place a little more tolerable. - Peridot
A solitary white rose
Thanks for looking for me. Love, Raven
Jessica Drew
A couple of red roses
Look, I know this is hokey, but we should probably hang again.
Three yellow carnations
Happy Valentine's Day!
<3 Kitty
1 yellow rose

Jono Starsmore
A red carnation with black edging
Thank you for the job! And for listening! And everything else! You've made coming home that much easier. Love, Raven
Red roses surrounded by yellow
I never thought I would be here, but I'm very glad we are.
Six purple carnations
I'm tempted to tell you to 'be mine' but I don't want to make your husband jealous! Thank you for everything you've done. It means a lot. -- Iris
Six pink carnations
I love you, Papa.
Kathy Li
One Purple Carnation
I hear you're back? I'll have to kick your ass at Uno sometime. - Sparkle
A bunch of pink roses.
FWIW I'm glad you're back. -Dante
Five yellow roses and four yellow carnations
I wouldn't have done it for anyone else. Love, Raven
a live yellow orchid, with instructions for care
Something to focus that extra energy on when you can't sleep
Six white roses
I don't know how it happened, but I'm so, so glad you're back. This place wasn't the same without you. -Kira
Three yellow roses, six light-red carnations
I missed you lots, Kathy! I'm glad you're back. I love you! - Alluka
Kenzi
One purple carnation
Hey, Kenz! We haven't gotten into trouble together since fucking forever ago. We're gonna have to get drunk and catch up sometime. Maybe go to a club or something. - Sparkle
Kitty Pryde
3 red, 3 white, and 3 blue carnations
Happy Valentine's Day to the only other person on the island who knows what good pizza and great baseball really is. Go Cubs!
Best,
Hardison
A dozen red roses
To the best wife I could ever ask for. I love you. -Clint
Leto
Ten lavender roses, and Six yellow roses
I don't imagine these will last long in the desert, but I made sure to pick a colour that looks good when you dry it, too. Anyway, I hope you're doing well, and I'm do going to claim you to do SOMETHING to celebrate the holiday, even if you don't have this one there. Love you. - Sparkle ... P.S. The yellow ones are for Alice and Hania, please make sure they get them, too!
Lucille
One Yellow Rose
Thank you for your patience with me. I'm still learning, and your guidance has been most appreciated. - Peridot
Three red roses
Don't look too hard into the meaning of red roses- I simply thought you'd appreciate red more than yellow. In any case, thank you for being such an upstanding employee, Lucille. The little blue blokes have told me all about your efforts to keep them in line, and I can't say I was terribly sympathetic to their plight. Keep up the good work. - Jono
One rose so dark red it almost looks black
This made me think of you, cherie, as it's striking. I am uncertain of all the customs of this holiday, but I always believe that beautiful women deserve flowers.
Mike Lane
Three yellow carnations
Happy Valentine's Day!
<3 Kitty
Minako
Three orange roses
Hey, girl. You've been like a little oasis of sanity in among all of the crazy, and I can't stress enough how much I appreciate that. Thank you for everything. Seriously. Love ya. - Sparkle
Obi-Wan Kenobi
One purple carnation
You were probably the most surprising thing about this place, you know, but probably the person I was most relieved to see here. Thank you for helping me reconnect with parts of myself that I thought were lost. - Kanan
Parker
9 red roses and 9 roses made out of hundred dollar bills
Happy Valentine's Day, mama. Love you!
A blue carnation with white edging
You really are great to talk to. Thanks for letting us crash at your place (both of them). Love, Raven
a purple pitcher plant
This one does something too
Peridot
One yellow rose
Put it in a vase and pour some water in to the bottom. It's an appearance modifier for your room. -- Ada
One yellow rose
To your continuing confusion. - R
A fluffy white carnation
Flowers are for decoration. You can tuck it into your hair or pin it to your collar if you have one, or put it in a vase with some water to decorate your room. It'll shrivel up and not look as pretty in a couple of days, but that's normal so don't freak out. Happy friendly earth holiday tradition. -- Gratuity
Peter Octavian
One purple carnation
Sick of these, yet? - Kanan
Raven Darkholme
Two dozen deep blue roses
You never gave up on me. YOU are the true meaning of friendship.
Love you so much, roomie.
Three yellow roses
It's good to see you back and doing as well as one might expect, luv. If there's anything else I can do to help you settle back in, don't hesitate to let me know. You've got friends here, who've been in shoes that aren't terribly unlike your own. - Jono
12 carnations, all various colors.
To the best TA on the island. So glad to have you back, little mama. Welcome home.
Yellow roses
These remind me of your eyes. I don't know if you still want to try dating, but I want to be with you and talk, at least. I am very glad you're back safe.
One yellow rose
I hope you don't mind me sending you a flower! I just thought you might like one! -- Alluka
Ringo Noyamano
Cheesecake-stuffed strawberry bouquet
To the best kohai anyone could ever hope for. Thank you, so much, for everything.
All my love,

Remember to be cute and cool, kohai! -- Iris

Sarah/Electroclash
Three purple carnations
Earth has the fluffiest holidays, doesn't it? And hey, I'm not going to pass up an opportunity to send flowers to one of the few people around here that I like. I asked them to send a beer along with this, but since it's through the student council I wasn't allowed. Oh well, just means I'll have to deliver some in person. - Kanan
