For the flower I just posted. Altamira dragged a table out of the stockpile room, wincing each time its wooden legs made a stuttering screech across the ground. It JUST needed to get down the hall without attracting the whole group’s attention. We didn’t need the excitement today. Down the hall it went, and through the door into Peacha’s workshop, where she and Chihiro were waiting. Chihiro thumbed thoughtfully through several books on flowers, spread out haphazardly on a desk. Peacha had prepped a pot and a lantern. Altamira set the table at its destination with a firm pat to test its stability, and placed the pot and lantern upon it. A large old glass punch bowl went gently over the makeshift greenhouse. “I don’t see any matches,” Chihiro shook her head and locked eyes with Altamira from across her pile of books. “It’s got to be a sacred tree sprout, nothing else makes sense.” “Except that it’s not a sacred tree sprout,” Peacha sternly replied. “It has every quality of a sprout, aside from not being a sprout. I can’t explain it better than that.” As the group’s botanist, Peacha should have a better explanation. But the three ineki have known each other for a very long time, and Altamira trusted her intuition. Altamira nodded thoughtfully, while Chihiro shook her head. “Well, we’re going to find out,” Chihiro said. “How long did it take the last time we found a sprout?” “Rococo popped in ten days,” Altamira replied. That was years ago, and quite a surprise. The ‘academy’ was such a small group then, just a few newly awakened ineki trying to establish themselves in the cave. He was just…found. A random sprout with a baby inside, who became the academy’s collective son. “Peacha, please try to find the words. Why is this one different?” From Altamira’s perspective the difference was minimal. She was mining, struck a cave, found a flower. It seemed like the same situation on repeat. Peacha leaned down over the purple blossom, sitting contentedly in its warm new home. “Well to start, it’s tiny. What would come from this? An eensy weensy little Drasilis that fits in the palm of your hand?” “That sounds amazing actually,” Chihiro laughs. “But that’s not how it works.” Although, now that she has proposed the thought, Peacha was imagining what that would look like. “But there’s something else. Maybe a magical quality that’s lacking. I don’t know.” Altamira gave the edge of the table another firm pat. “Well, I’ll look into getting us a better apparatus to observe it in. I can probably get one of those little greenhouses. You know, the kind that’s a little tent over a shelf. I’ll go into town tomorrow.” “Thank you, thank you.” Peacha gazed affectionately at the purple flower. “If this turns out to be JUST a flower at least I can try and plant a few more. I won’t say no to more greenhouses.” “Anytime,” Altamira gave a casual wave as she approached the workshop door. But when she opened it… “Oh!” It seemed like half the academy was in the hall. “It’s nothing yet!” She shooed them away. “Come back in ten days to get disappointed!” But she could barely hold back a laugh. What a group.

For my second entry, I made this little poem based on Prose‘s beautiful flower design.
In a fluffy middle of cream Its leaves rustle in the summer breeze

Arrangement 1: Flower Here The Hissing Hazard is a rather interesting flower, with everything about it being seemingly designed to keep anyone from messing with it. Mycenians, however, have taken these qualities to be somehow desirable, actively seeking out the flower as a sort of anti-gift, a more polite but passive way of letting someone know you aren’t interested in them.

Arrangement 2: Flower Here The Escape Velocity flower is characterized by its mottled purple coloration, with the petals being darker than the disc in the center. The flower itself is quite common, being found growing anywhere that water can be found, even in minute quantities. Because of this, the flower acts something like a weed and can be a nuisance to gardeners and farmers alike.
