[fortune_sought]

[the CAT activates, seemingly by itself, to show Sophie Smith tending her flower shop. at the moment, she is arranging flowers in the front window, mumbling to herself as she does so. occasionally, she glances up to peer through the window--painted with the curly-lettered message "H. JENKINS FRESH FLOWERS DAILY"--to see if any customers might be coming]

[a voice drifts through the air, saying with a thick Welsh accent:] "If you were expecting an ultraviolet violet or an infra-red geranium, you got it wrong, Mrs. Mad Scientist."

[Sophie jumps at the voice. an expression of worry crosses her face for a moment--and then it passes. she goes back to her work as though nothing has happened, mumbling cheerfully as she puts a final sprig of Baby's Breath into a pot teeming with strange, navy blue roses]

[ooc: Sophie has assumed her resident persona for the current plot.]

[and someone who's been walking by happened to take a good whiff of whatever that was. then that someone grins as she walks straight in.

it's terezi pyrope on the case of the wonderful smelling flowers.]

...More like a genius scientist with the way these flowers are growing! I can just tell by the scent, you're doing a great job.

[and she added, just to tease.]

For now.

[Ichijou claps his hands together once excitedly!]

Oh! Sophie!

Such beautiful work as always - it reminds me of the night sky!

Please tell me that you're planning a big display for this year's festival! I know it's not a major milestone like the one the year before last, but it simply won't feel complete without it.

[Jamie is passing by the window of the flower shop when he spots Sophie arranging flowers, and something rather pleased comes into his expression. He abruptly turns towards the door and heads inside. It's just in time to catch the tail end of the voice, and the pleased look turns a little confused - but he shakes it off after a second, focusing on the navy blue roses instead.]

Hello, Sophie. Have ye gone and come up with something new, then?

[... oh, hey, seeing this gives Xion an idea. She switches on her video function.]

Aunt Sophie!
