Week 3

[airlockedmods]

[It takes a disturbingly short amount of time for the status quo to be restored. PAL still makes the morning and night time announcements through the PIP on each Champion's arm, and still the Champion unitards are freshly laundered and re-hung each morning in their closets.

There's a new floor to explore, a perverse reward for a trial well done.]

No, it's fine. It just... If I'm truly a nun, then... I should be...

[ ...You know. Helping. But she doesn't know much of anything, so the best she can do is just sit nearby and read. ]

[serrata]

... If it helps, we didn't really have much we could do when we made one of these back home. A memorial, I mean.

[ It sort of slips out without her thinking but now she's said it, there's not really any taking it back. ]

I think... just being here and keeping them in your thoughts would make them happy, too.

[desperateprayer]

...The graveyards in Yatski are simple. Just wooden crosses. So... I kind of get that.

[ She'll... Come and kneel now, sighing. ]

...I just feel like I should be doing more.

[serrata]

... We leave offerings, sometimes. Not at memorials like this, but we have small shrines in our houses.

So... if you feel like there's more you'd like you do, you could cook something and leave it here for them. I'm stopping by every day to make sure everything's still in place, so I could let you know when it needs replacing.

[ there's a pause. She... doesn't really know if Clarith's up to answering a question like this just yet but if she really wants something more to do... ]

... and. Well. When I planted these... I wanted to plant their favourite flowers. But I wasn't sure what they were. I don't know how I could find out Mai-chan's, but... Mikaela-san's...

[ you see where she's going with this, yes? ]

[desperateprayer]

She... Liked nature. I don't think there would be a flower you could plant she wouldn't like.

[ ...There are fond memories there. Talks over plants, over nature... It makes sense now, of course. Mikaela was a forest spirit. ]

[serrata]

Then... if you don't mind doing it, would you help me pick out a special flower for her? One that has a meaning you think would suit her. I want to pick one out for Mai-chan too and... I think if anyone knows what sort of flower would suit Mikaela-san the best, it'd be you.

[desperateprayer]

[ She's going to think. Hm... ]

I wonder if there are seeds for Greeonian plateau roses. They're... Native to our country, but beautiful and green-colored from what I hear. I'm... Not sure they have any specific meaning, but...

[serrata]

We could always go and see. I wouldn't be sure what to look out for but you can point them out to be if you spot any. And if we don't then... there should probably be some green flowers here we could plant instead if you think that's what she'd like?

[desperateprayer]

[ She nods. ]

Green was... Probably one of her favorite colors. I know she saw plenty of it, but...

[serrata]

... How about bells of Ireland, then? They're tall and they grow leaves shaped like bells. Do you think she'd like those?

[ yuuri thinks they're pretty but yuuri is also aware that she thinks most plants are pretty so she is perhaps not an unbiased source. ]

[desperateprayer]

...That sounds good.

[ She has no idea what or where Ireland is, because in Evillious Earth is long-dead and renamed and Evillious is on Earth 2.0 or maybe even 3.0. ]

I think... They'd be good for a memorial.

[serrata]

I'll plant some then. And um... if you're going to be here every day as well then would you like to be the one looking after her flowers?

I don't mind doing it myself but... it feels more right for you to be doing it, Clarith-san.

[desperateprayer]

...I can do that. I'll... I'll try to do that. It might... Be good for me.

[serrata]

Then I'll leave that to you. I'll leave some offerings here myself but I'll leave it to you to maintain the memorial. I think you know best what would make her happiest.

[ she wishes with all her heart she could be as confident with Mai's. ]

[desperateprayer]

Mhm.

[ It'll. Give her something to do. ]

...Thank you.

[serrata]

You don't have to thank me. But you're welcome, anyway.

I'll see if I can find any bells of Ireland already growing -- I'll move them over to the memorial if I do. If not, there should be some seeds somewhere and I'll sow those.

Do you know what sort of food she liked best? Snacks or desserts, that sort of thing.
