3rd paper flower [Text]

[origami_ninja]

[Konan is far from a social butterfly, but on occasion she's been making an effort to reach out to others in Luceti. Since the weather is nice and there are plenty of flowers in bloom, she decides to ask if there's anyone out there who shares her lesser known hobby.]

Out of curiosity, how many people here in Luceti have an interest in flower pressing? Specifically, who already presses flowers as a hobby, and who would be interested in learning how it's done?

[She's not going to immediately offer to demonstrate at Art Club, though she will teach how it's done if Rapunzel or Ikki asks her to.]

Comments

[towered]

Well, I can't say I know how, but I would like to learn. It sounds like it could be fun!

[origami_ninja]

It's a pleasant and peaceful hobby.

[towered]

Peaceful?

[origami_ninja]

It preserves flowers after they have been cut. It's not a fast paced or aggressive hobby.

[twinlionfists]

[Hinata doesn't recognize the name, but someone who shares her hobby is rare, even back home, and she can't help but be a little excited.]

I have started doing so again since my arrival, but it seems to be a hobby that most do not enjoy.

[origami_ninja]

It is a quieter hobby and isn't one that would be immediately obvious. I thought I would see who else enjoyed it.

[She is glad to see that there is at least one other person in Luceti who shares this hobby, though.]

[twinlionfists]

I agree that it is a quiet hobby. However, most people equate quiet with boring, I fear. I enjoy it myself. It is good to find someone else who shares it with me.

[Now she doesn't have to feel so awkward when she says that she enjoys pressing flowers. There's at least one other person in Luceti who feels the same way she did.]

Flower... pressing?

voice

[origami_ninja]

The art of preserving cut flowers and drawing out their colour after they have already been cut.

[It's less flashy than her origami hobby, but she enjoys it nonetheless.]

[fervidity]

Do you use the color for something?

Flower pressing? What's that?

[written]

[origami_ninja]

An art form that preserves cut flowers. They can be mounted on paper and placed in picture frames.

Wow you can really do that?? That's amazing! [Still learning new things even after being here for 2 years. But it's safe to say he's excited about this] I'd really love to learn how to do something like that!

[So Chien's not the best at reading at writing. Actually, for a long time, he couldn't do it at all. Ikki helped him with that a lot. So he's finally gonna put it into practice! After all, it's basically muscle memory after so many writing times together, and he picked it up with her again after he returned too...

Regardless, it's still pretty sloppy and his replies will be really slow because he wants them to be Good.]

why would you want to press flowers?

written

[origami_ninja]

To make them last longer after they have been cut.

[dogboy]

can you really do that?

[sun_showers]

I've never tried it, but I've seen it before. I'd really like to learn, it's always looked like something enjoyable.

[origami_ninja]

[Perhaps she should conduct an Art Club seminar on it, after all.]

Then it would be my pleasure to teach you. It's a pleasant hobby.

[Yuuna would go.]

How did you end up getting into it? I know a lot of my hobbies I didn't end up picking up until later in life, myself.

[windandrain]

It's one of my fondest hobbies, actually. I didn't know anyone else in Luceti practiced the art.

[Text]

[origami_ninja]

Perhaps semi-regular meetings are in order. I've had a few people respond.

[Text]

[windandrain]

Perhaps so, that would be wonderful. A little quiet, by Luceti standards perhaps but I'd be more than happy to participate.

[ In pink crayon, no less. ]

You should teach it at Art club!

[origami_ninja]

[Ikki, you are too cute sometimes.]

Maybe. It would have to be a two part lesson. It takes a while for the flowers to be flat enough to be ready.

[breezing]

A two part lesson is okay! We can do the first half at the next meeting, and the second half after that.
