[Even in the cold of winter there is fun to be had for a flower youkai. Whilst clearing her entire garden of snow as it falls is a poor idea, swapping the autumn flowers out for more seasonal blooms is always necessary. Alstromeria, narcissus, orchids and white roses feature this month, with there being sunflowers present too, as always...

I always thought frostbite was more interesting, myself. Literally break pieces off of a man, they get cold enough.

[floralphantasm]

Oh well yes! Frostbite is also quite an exciting ailment. Most winter sicknesses and other such things are quite intriguing.

Should you ever get cold enough, please report to me if you contract anything. It'll be interesting to find out how things will develop~

[dun_measure_up]

Once again, Sugar, I'll ask what's in it for me.

[floralphantasm]

Nothing, of course. Where has this terrible habit of asking for things in return come from? Not that I'm terribly bothered. Rather, I'm more curious about what you expect as payment here, in a place where everything is free.

[dun_measure_up]

I'm pretty selfish, Sugar, and if you plan on asking me to do things, you'll have to accept that.

Hmm, that would be a good question. Ain't got no need for money or food. Nevertheless, even the simplest barter system is built on trade, so I'd think it would be up to you to make an offer and see if I'm interested. After all, you've more experience as to what is and isn't available easily around here.

[floralphantasm]

Very well, perhaps when I actually need something from you that I cannot do for myself I will apply some thought to this.

Only five months experience, hardly as much as some of the people here. Most items that come to mind are available here in some form or another. It would be hard to form a trade when what you are trading for can easily be recovered from a shop for yourself.

[dun_measure_up]

Well, that is a quandary, ain't it? Still, you seem more'n happy to talk 'bout things most folk ain't so sure about. I'm sure, the need is pressin' enough, you'll think of something...interesting.

[floralphantasm]

Indeed. But be aware, whilst I might seem quite open in my speech for all you know I could be spouting utter lives and drivel which will do nothing to aid you at all~

I'll find something at some point on a rainy afternoon I'm sure.

[dun_measure_up]

Well, Sugar, I happen to lie for a living at least half the time, and it's an honest way to make some money far as I'm concerned. Or...well. That ain't quite right here. Nevertheless, if you are a liar, Sugar, at least you make it interesting.

[floralphantasm]

How wonderful it is to know I'm keeping things interesting for you. It seems a lot of your life revolves around money however. How on earth will you cope in a setting such as this, I wonder. Have you found someway to occupy your time yet~?

[dun_measure_up]

I'm sure something will come to me.

[floralphantasm]

I see~ Be sure to contact me once you find your calling. It might well be worth my time finding out how you while away your own. Gardening and polite conversation can only make up so much of one day after all.

[dun_measure_up]

What do you grow, Sugar? Idle curiosity, my lack of green thumb eclipsed only by my wretched inability to cook.

[floralphantasm]

Flowers, naturally. I tend to change my beds based on the season, though I do enjoy sunflowers year round. Should you wish to acquire a green thumb then I am sure you will achieve one of your own soon enough by lobbing it off.

[dun_measure_up]

Naturally. Why'd I even ask?

Or, I could tie a string around it real tight. That might work, too. Less chance of losing it, that way.

[floralphantasm]

Who knows~? You humans are always quite the inquisitive beings.

Ah, but where would the fun be in doing that? Add a new challenge to your life and try living without your thumb, just to see how you might cope.
