Funny how much the language of flowers actually applies to both of the flower named characters in this rp to some degree.

Language of flowers
(Complete with pretty pictures! I searched up the author and she was a Victorian children's book illustrator. Japan has their own system too and it looks like Japan Talk has some stuff on that. Time to fall into another Internet black hole...)
True. There are more hurtful ways to express your hate than a pretty bouquet. And sure... they must be real nice... I'm only saying this because I don't want my tongue getting ripped out
Now I'm craving for an entire RP exchange to happen in just the language of flowers - the most efficient form of communication.
Is this a sign that Carnation will finally make another appearance?

Waa, that was a lot more legit than I was expecting. xD
Hmm...I wonder if I know about Japan's...I studied the importance of various seasonal items and scenery, just going out to observe things like certain flowers blooming and leaves changing color is considered an event worth celebrating. ^ ^ But I'm sure this is something different...perhaps related to ikebana...?
Don't make me climb across this table, Blue.
You might wake up with a wild tansy next to your bed, fufu
Well, it was popular among nobility at one time, wasn't it? So it wouldn't be that far-fetched to see our character partaking in it. Especially places where flowers are important like Euthalia (literally Flower Kingdom! xD) and Greedo.

That link definitely will help me since I had in mind to have Eva utilize the meaning of flowers in the RP. Or at least some of them, she's not an expert, just knows some of the basics to help out customers in the flowershop

Well the flower festival is coming up, the language of flowers could very well come in clutch heheh

Of course she has no idea if flowers might have a different meaning here than in her own world... 'cause she might be thinking to give one that expresses friendship to someone, and suddenly she's declaring war on half the continent. whoops.

I'm not very sure. Most websites call it hanakotoba but I can't find anything reliably sourced about its official history/inception/ flower meanings in English, and I'm not leveled enough to read websites in moon runes yet (one day...) I think most websites use it to refer to general flower symbolism in Japanese art and culture, much of which is different from the assigned Western meanings.
Do your worst.
Eva should be expecting some flowers sometime over the course of the roleplay.
Flower festival? I call unfair advantage for Kiefer! He's rigged it. He and Florist!Eva are going to get together after connecting over their mutual love for plants and then start up their own flower shop as a side gig to ruling over all of Roserasia, along with five lovely children. The rest of the men will form their own Spurned Men's Club and spend the rest of their days envying their marital bliss.

Give a whole new meaning to 'War of the Roses'....
Moon runes!!? Idk if I should be offended here... xD
I think I've heard of Hanakotoba before actually...well, I've studied a lot of Japanese literature, so sometimes we discuss symbolism like that, too. So maybe there's something there...
I'll try to remember to look into it when I have time...or maybe ask Sensei ^ ^
*Showers you in flowers* The highest form of insult!!
Hey, Kiefer is already flailing he needs all the advantage he can get xD (tho I think he will have unwittingly beneficially maneuvered himself in the next post lolol #goKiefer #theRealGoodBoy)
You all can have fun in the Spurned Men's club Klaus will just blink and get himself a new harem--

I actually don't have his CS finished yet. But don't worry, I didn't plan on having him catch up before the trio leaves, so you guys can go ahead.hosaki - Did you want to post for the knight Tristan just sent to find our dangerous trio, or would you like us to keep going? I don't want to get too far ahead if he's supposed to catch up to us before we leave the castle!

wanted her knight to catch up, but I am happy to do a collab! I am also happy to write us departing on my next post if you prefer (Chantie just found out they are going to Samba Square, he might want to react to this knowledge). Whatever makes you folks happy I am willing to do!

It's okay if you guys go ahead to Samba Square. Mister knight will have some searching to do, but it probably won't be too hard since Helbrecht stands out so much.I think
