the strongest visit

[frogsicles]

[After school today, Cirno decides to go and visit Wriggle. She takes a detour to the park and picks some flowers first. When she arrives at her final destination, her first instinct is to let herself in, but she grudgingly stands in front of the door and knocks on it.

Feel free to run into her on the way there.]

[Aisling is heading home from school as well, and she happens to live in the same house as Wriggle. She notices Cirno heading in the same direction as her to her house.]

Are you visiting?

[frogsicles]

[Cirno doesn't know Aisling and Wriggle live in the same house, so she gives Aisling a weird look.]

I'm visiting my friend, yeah.

[wolf_faerie]

Your friend? Which one?

[Miyagi and Alice seem to be too old to be friends with someone as young looking as Cirno, so it could either be Massimo or Wriggle.]

[frogsicles]

Wriggle Nightbug! I haven't gotten her to laugh until she cries yet!

[glowbrighter]

[She opens the door slowly, looking very tired, expecting Maka and more weird, useless psychobabble. The wan and withdrawn expression does not change when Wriggle sees that it's not the bookworm, but Cirno, and she does not say hello.]

[frogsicles]

[Well THAT'S not a good start. Cirno hangs her head for a moment, and then gives Wriggle a bright smile. Please smile back, please smile back, please smile back.]

Uh...hi! I brought you some flowers...c-can I come in?

[glowbrighter]

[A single butterfly flutters past Cirno's ear, dances around the flowers, and finally alights on Wriggle's shoulder. It's a vibrant shade of blue. There's a flicker of emotion in Wriggle's eyes and her mouth twitches, quirks into a very small and rueful and weary almost-smile.]

....w-well gee, thanks. And you know you're always w-welcome.

[She moves away to let Cirno in.]

[frogsicles]

[Cirno walks into the house and sets the flowers down on the nearest table. She begins to look for a vase.]

So...uh, how're you doin'?

[cleavage_rifle]

[Let's say Koharu here encounters Cirno while in the park doing her flower-picking. She'll come over to the fairy, either wanting to say hello to the cute kid or, if Cirno is visibly upset, to see if something is wrong.]

Hello!

[frogsicles]

[Cirno is picking flowers and in a rather good mood, hoping that these will make Wriggle feel better. When she hears someone greet her, she turns around to look at Koharu. She seems nice!]

Hi! Are you here for some flowers, too? You can get 'em from Yuuka too, but she's kind of scary.

[cleavage_rifle]

[Oh, sure, Koharu was likely picking flowers; the park is nice and there aren't many men around, so her nerves are able to settle.]

I am. I hope it won't get me into trouble, but I wanted to pick some pretty flowers for someone. Are you collect yours for someone else?

[frogsicles]

Yeah! I'm getting 'em for my friend Wriggle. She's been real sad, so I want to cheer her up by bringing her something pretty.

[funkinmylab]

[Mao will be spotting her from within a sandbox where he has a book open and a stick in hand. And he'll do a double take at the flower picking since it's considered delinquency in his world.]

... Should I ask why you're picking flowers?

[frogsicles]

I'm pickin' em so I can give 'em to Wriggle. Which do you think she'd like better, the yellow ones or the pink ones?

[funkinmylab]

Geh... You're asking a demon about what flowers to pick? I'd be laughing if I wasn't already horrified!

[frogsicles]

Fine, then! I'll pick BOTH! You're no help.

[hourai_branch]

[Pokes you while you're picking flowers]

[frogsicles]

[Cirno whirls around to see who poked her. Oh hey, it's that weird lady!]

Hello!

[hourai_branch]

Hi!

What are you doing?

[frogsicles]

Pickin' flowers for Wriggle.
