Who's the worst person you've met here and why? Pref an Outsider but if they've all been cool I'll open it up to whoever

I'm making a list



Bonus: if you guess a number between 1 and 100 and get closest to the one I'm thinking of I've got smth for you

Comments

[fessus]

Smth like that

It depends on how mean someone is ig. Sometimes just pointing it out helps but other times you have to know when to drop it and move on bc they won't change

[zerodissolver]

I see. It'd be nice if we could all be friends, but that doesn't seem to be the case for this Silco person. I wonder if he's one of those who it's not worth trying to convince.

[fessus]

Yeah ngl I'm starting to get that feeling

Sounds like he's had a rough past but instead of trying to learn from it he's making it everyone else's problem

[zerodissolver]

That's a shame. I bet he's a nice person inside. [Ever the optimist...]

It seems so strange to me that he'd want to bother others if he knows what it's like himself. People are weird sometimes.

[fessus]

[ press x to seriously doubt....... ]

Idk

Maybe for some people it's too lonely to be the only one going through that feeling Soph

[zerodissolver]

[She wants to believe...!]

Maybe... Do you think it would help him to show him he's not alone? That he can have friends here? I imagine it doesn't feel good having everyone say they dislike you.

[fessus]

Most times I'd say yeah

But there's a lot of other good people here yk. People who have tried to have that convo with him. People have to want to change before they'll do it so it's on him now

[zerodissolver]

Ah... Yes, that's true. All we can do is reach out to him. It's up to him to take someone's hand, isn't it?

I hope he has someone by his side even if he pushing everyone else away.

[fessus]

Sounds like he does, maybe more than one

[ Which to Noctis is undoubtedly a positive. ]

That's him though

You doing okay?

[zerodissolver]

Ah, that's good. Nobody should be alone.

[And maybe those people can help him open up more...!]

Yes, thank you. I'm doing really good. I've been helping Ereshkigal at the flower shop and learning the language of flowers from Tsurumaru. Did you know flowers have different meanings behind them?

[fessus]

[ Ereshkigal... right, the one upset over Bakugo. She seemed... tightly wound, at least then. ]

Nope

You sure? That sounds pretty farfetched idk, a whole language just for flowers?

[ He knows. He's overheard enough conversations around the flower arrangements for different parties or at court, how to ensure the decorations align with the messaging of the event. But he pretends otherwise, because having her explain it sounds a lot more pleasant. ]

[zerodissolver]

[Poor Ereshkigal... She tried so hard to help and it just backfired on her.]

Yes. Like daffodils can mean either "good news" or "selfishness", while tulips have different meanings based on their colors. You can say a lot with a carefully chosen bouquet. Do you have any flowers you like, Noct?

[With how kind he's been to her since arriving, she wants to do something for him and a carefully chosen gift of flowers seems like an ideal present. Especially now that she has a job and thus a reliable source of income.]

[fessus]

Wow

Sounds pretty complicated. How are you supposed to know if someone's calling you selfish or saying they have smth cool to tell you? Ig I'll have to leave it to the expert

[ Here, however, he pauses at her question. ]

Sylleblossoms

Idk if you'd be able to find any here though. You heard of them?

[zerodissolver]

It is. It seems like most languages where you have to interpret the intention behind the meanings based on your relationship with someone.

[Like how as a kid Asbel called her "weird" but in a good way?]

I haven't, no. But I haven't seen any sopherias besides the one I arrived with, either. I think they must be unique to our worlds, or at least rare here. What do sylleblossoms look like?

[fessus]

Guess you shouldn't send flowers to congratulate anyone selfish you know lol. What kinds of messages would you want to send people Soph?

Sylleblossoms are blue. They've got long flowers halfway down the stem too, bigger at the bottom and more like buds at the top. What about sopherias?

[zerodissolver]

Hehe, I suppose not. I'd like to send people messages of thanks for all the help everyone's given me since I arrived. Or ones of friendship.

Oh, that sounds beautiful. They'd look good with sopherias since they're a pinkish purple with eight petals on a single stem that has two to three leaves.
