Himmel March Catch-All

Who: Himmel and.... you?
When: Throughout early to mid Budding
Where: Around Rosavelle
What: Casually helping people, being a little introspective sometimes
Warnings: N/A

OOC: Any of Himmel's TDM posts can be considered canon if you like. I'm assuming at least a couple of them are!


[ A: Bloom Bond Reflection ] (Greenhouse, first couple days of March, or even late February)

[ People heading into the Everbloom's greenhouse around the changing of the months will find there a man with hair the color of the sky, sword at his side. He's knelt down in front of a flower - a hydrangea, with petals the colors of the man's hair. Or, at least it seems as if it will be that way, as none of the flowers have quite sprouted yet, but instead have buds growing, almost but not quite ready yet to face the world. ]

I can only assume these flowers cannot measure the bonds I have back home, or else this would be blooming beautifully. I'll have to work hard to forge bonds just as strong here. [ Then he turns, noticing somebody else nearby. ] Excuse me. Have you been here long? I have a few questions.


[ B: Sweetheart Sharing ] (The Amber Knot, after they begin selling their Sweetheart Loaves)

[ Himmel had heard that the new sweetbread being sold at the local bakery, the Amber Knot, was simply divine, and he had to investigate this claim for himself. However, it seemed that it was usually sold in pairs - and for some reason, the person at the counter had simply refused to accept Himmel didn't have anybody special.

And that is how he found himself standing outside, leaning against a lamppost next to a bench, holding not one but two Sweetheart Loaves. The next person to wander by looking even a little hungry will have a hand held out to them, offering one of the loaves. ]
It looks like I've found myself with two of these. Would you mind taking this off my hands? You'd be doing me a favor.

[ His smile is charming and disarming - and might be mistaken for flirtatious, if the other person is aware that offering baked goods from this bakery is often considered a mild form of flirting. Unfortunately, nobody's told Himmel that yet. ]


[ C: Sword Training Daycare ] (Little Buds Atelier, throughout the month)

[ Himmel can, at various points throughout the month, be found helping out at the Atelier, a glorified daycare center that, intriguingly, seems to be run by professionals of various sorts. Himmel finds himself with a fairly important job there, though - draining the energy of the rambunctious and physically-inclined.

During the early afternoon, he can be found play-fighting with the smallest children, letting them tire themselves out with padded and soft toy weapons. In the later afternoon, he'll actually be doing some basic sword instruction with the older children as a sort of after-school activity for them, wooden swords being used for training.

He'll pause when he notices somebody watching their outdoor practice and/or play sessions. ]
Here to help? Or were you hoping for a few pointers yourself? You're a bit older than the rest here. [ He smiles good-naturedly, his joke obvious and not meant as a rib. ]


[ D: Rehearsal Confession Guidance ] (Bloomlight Theater, early-mid March)

[ Himmel followed the voices into the theater, drawn by the heartfelt tones and urgent air. He isn't sure what he expected, but he did find himself at least a little intrigued here. So many confessions, obviously being practiced. They were all very direct, for his own tastes, but they came from the heart, and that was most important.

Most important, but not wholly. He could certainly see why many of the people here were practicing. They had room for improvement... and Himmel is exactly the kind of person who finds himself helping, even in odd tasks such as this. ]


Excuse me, could you repeat that last line once more? But this time - [ He offers advice to somebody who caught his eye, whether that's a visitor like himself, or whether a visitor might be watching him. ]


[ E: Flower Crown Crafting ] (Primavain craft fair, March 16-19)

[ At the Primavain, the entire plaza is bustling and working. Handmade jewelry, accessories, and more are all being made, displayed, and sold in equal measures. Along with the more usual variety of crafts, though, are the flower crowns - florists putting their all into weaving together beautiful flowers into wearable, if temporary, hairpieces.

And one of the people making those flower crowns is Himmel. The blue-haired man takes his time choosing the best flowers, but once they're chosen, he weaves them together deftly, obviously experienced in this. ]


I used to do this with my companions. A flower crown can brighten anyone's day - no matter how much they might not seem the type for it. [ A grin plays on his lips thinking of his friends with similar crowns. ] Ah, but my apologies. Were you here for one?


[ F: Wild Card ] (Anywhere, early-mid March)

[ Have your own idea? Go for it! Himmel can be found wandering Rosavelle - exploring, chatting with people, helping out whenever he's asked. ]

[You idiot. You fool. You absolute rube.

You may be offering the food to Yayoi, but as soon as you blink, it's simply gone. Devoured. She swiped it and seems to have just swallowed it. Did she even chew? Did she have to unhinge her entire jaw like a snake to eat it? How did she do it?

It doesn't matter. The important thing is that there is no longer a loaf there.]


Thanks for the food.

C: Sword Training Daycare;

[ It's not a place Dainsleif manages to involve himself much in all that often. But, it is certainly one of note, because he does on a blue moon show up to lend a hand, as sword-play instruction harkens back certain memories. And he used to like to teach others how to properly swing a blade, regardless of whatever his personal status happened to be at the time. ]

...I am here to lend some of my own expertise. Although, I would say for the time being you seem to have a majority of it covered.

[ And so, he believes himself landing a hand might be a bit much. ]

Of course I did. It tasted like bread.

[... so, maybe she didn't.]

[ Dainsleif gives a little nod, serious all the while. But, despite his demeanor, he is in actuality glad to be able to do something. ]

...I don't mind taking over for a short time.

It is an indisputable fact that food will be needed for those practicing, even if light. [ A small pause. ] That said, this is the first I have managed to see you around. I presume that you have either just arrived, or we have simply yet to have crossed paths by happenstance.

[ Dainsleif looks at the students momentarily, already looking for what to correct. Forms are likely not to have been engraved in stone at this point in time, so there is much he can start with amending from there alone. ]

Then why'd they give you an extra if it's in that high demand?

Hm?

[Leave it to Dante to find a bad place to post up for a snack.

He'd been lost in thought, parked on a bench at the edge of the field with a sundae in hand, lazily picking at it. He had to hide, you see, because his loving girlfriend would almost surely get upset if he spoiled his appetite with sweets before he got back to her place.

Then, one of the friendliest looking guys in the world waved him down when all the older kids cleared out to put away their swords.]


....Me? [He feigned ignorance, glancing around as if there'd be a second guy there--one who didn't look suspicious in drab, wine-red attire.]

... You're weird. Why would you want to share with someone you don't even know?

[well, there hasn't been much else to do except try to get acclimated. emerald's got a tulip bed to look after now, apparently, not that she knows the first thing about raising flowers. what, do they expect her to have rivers in the desert or something? none of her bulbs have blossomed yet, but the leaves on a couple have begun to split ever so slightly, and she decides that that's good enough for now as she begins to wander the greenhouse looking for others.]

[she overhears some guy standing here muttering about how good his relationships are back home and decides to get closer, if only to see what his garden looks like and hear what he's saying a little better. and when he asks her what's up—oh, uh. she tries not to look too surprised by actually being noticed.]


I only just got here, so I'm not totally sure what it all means yet either. But I can give it a shot if you want.

Uh... huh.

[. . .]

Why do you want to get to know people?
nightwild: (pic#17451848)

[personal profile] nightwild 2026-03-08 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but...

... Ugh. I guess people are like that here. Everyone's so nice. And the bonds...

I dunno. It's a pain. I don't care about barely knowing people.

You're an optimist, aren't you?

Mmmm. [Another noise, in lieu of a proper conversation--at first, anyway. Turning his spoon up, he left it wedged in half-melted ice cream and offered the kind-looking fellow a curious appraisal.

Dante liked to play dumb. It kept everyone off their guard, from thugs to mafioso to demons and devils. He'd canted his neck one way, almost flippantly, and offered a shrug with a hunched shoulder.]


Couldn't say it's all that important to anybody but me... but, I didn't think anybody'd mind. Way quieter here, y'know? Everyone's just so... focused...

[He grinned rakishly.] Really lets you think!

[comparing notes. like she's back in school. it's almost funny—and she likes the idea enough that she might as well go along with it. she hooks her thumb in her pocket and cocks her hip casually.]

I haven't really been taking notes, but yeah, sure. My garden's over there [she jerks her head in the direction she'd come from] and I still don't have anything blooming yet, really. There's a couple that look close, like yours do, but it'll probably be a while until we get anything like... I don't know, whoever that one belongs to.

[she gestures over at some random hydrangea garden that looks like it's doing much better than either of theirs.]

Not that I've ever done anything with flowers before, even just normal ones. I was under the impression we had to water them to get them to grow.
