FLOWER ARRANGEMENT

Characters: EVERY STUDENT
Format: Action/prose, whichever you want!!
This log is: open
Location: Fortitude school
Summary: FLOWER ARRANGEMENT CLASS
Warnings: oichi is creepy
Oichi arranges the flowers. It is a very simple arrangement-- one red spiderlily standing tall on its stem, and long stalks of some miscellaneous plant alongside it. It's all in a small black vase.

"So like this... yes... did you know? Listen, listen." She turns to face the class. She has some grasp on what she's supposed to be doing here, but does it with her own incoherent flair. Students have been set up with various flowers and containers; flowers sit on a central table, and containers line the walls.

The room is silent. "Did you know? That these flowers, these pretty red blooms, pave the road to hell." She laughs, hiding her mouth with her hands. And then she gestures to everyone in the room, spinning around and rushing limply behind her desk. "Your turn, your turn... Ichi will look at what you put together, so impress Ichi, ok...? Don't disappoint her... remember to be simple yet strong... beautiful like a death poem, ok?"

Kotarou was of about ten different minds about being here, but here he was. And glaring at the delicateblue pot in front of him like sheer force of will would make an acceptable flower arrangement. It wasn't fair. He hadn't trained for this!

But at least he'd seen some women in town doing this once, and Oichi had showed them, a little... so... the big bright thing went in the centre, right? That made sense. It was... what did you call it, tactics. Yeah. He grabbed one of the larger flowers he'd taken from the central table, and dropped it into the pot unceremoniously. Yeah, that'd do. And now some little ones and some leaves. He grabbed those too.

"That's ugly," Oichi says it ruefully as she approaches. She's then plucking some of the leaves out of the dish. "That flower is a good choice, however... a very nice choice... it's such a pretty color."
tenwholeryou: (pfff like I care.)

"That's why I chose it." Yep. Of course. Kotarou is already biting back a retort for the 'ugly' comment, both because he has to admit she's right, and because he's still damn nervous around her. She's the first person he's met who gets more unpredictable if blustered at. "So what goes with it? Those things?" He points at random.

"No, no... too many and too much... simplicity, ok? Like a rock garden, or the shining blade of a sword..." She slowly and meticulously picks out the leaves and small flowers until there is a wet heap on his desk. She does it for him, adding a few smooth rocks and popping the head of the flower off of the stem. She lays it to float in the water. "Like that, ok...? Do you see, little Kota...? Just a few... not many..."
tenwholeryou: (... the shit is that)

"A sword? Flowers are like swords?" With this gem of wisdom firmly planted, he watches her arrange everything with a much more appropriate level of focus. Okay, simplicity. There were rock gardens in the temple. He can just copy those.

"Wait there! I'll do it again." And he runs back to the other tables to fetch a new dish and some supplies.

She waits there as she is told, looking about the room carefully.
