WHO: Minako Arisato and YOU!
WHERE: All over Recollé
WHEN: All of June
WHAT: Performing tasks for Zee, and anything else she's going to do for the rest of the month
WARNINGS: None for now. Feel free to PM this journal or message me at raynestorm if you want to work out something for a prompt!

FOR THE GOOD OF THE CITY
Anywhere in Recollé; any time of the month

[Minako's list of available prompts is here! I'm open to doubling up, but no more than that, please. If you're looking for an excuse to bump into her randomly instead of doing something preplanned, the Confectionary prompt would be best, since she works there!]

A PUPPY PHONE
Anywhere in Recollé; any time of the month
"Do something nice for your neighbor" for Viea Village, or "pamper someone" for Enprise

Hmm...how am I supposed to do this without ruining your Evoker?

[It's a question asked to the air. You might find Minako walking her silver Shiba Inu on the streets, looking at some Bluetooth devices on her phone's browser-- or maybe she's in the electronics store, browsing the shelves. Either way, Koromaru is patiently walking beside her, making sure his Leader doesn't trip or bang her head on something as she muses to herself.]

Maybe I should just experiment. If I break your collar beyond repair, thanks to Retrospec it'll come back brand new...probably.

[Koromaru gives an agreeing bark.]

Okay, let's do that then. [And noticing someone near her, she waves them down.] Hey there! Question for you! What brand would you recommend for a Bluetooth device?

[Or maybe you see a text message from her.]

if I wanted to give my puppy a phone in his collar, how would I go about doing that?

[and it is very effective! Not only is Elliot caught by surprised, but he breaks up into a bunch of giggles as he tries to curl up. Turns out he is very ticklish]

H-Hey!

[complementing]

[She grins and tickles him for a few more seconds for good measure, then gives him a hug. Aw, what a cutie.]

Thinking of repainting these on top of planting new stuff?

[fiddlestick]

[He'll BREATHE when the tickling stops. His poor lungs]

Y-Yeah, maybe! Add some extra color to them would be nice, I think?

[complementing]

Yeah! I have a ruby red color to paint them with. But first--

[She reaches into her purse and pulls out a spade and gloves.]

This is all I have for planting flowers, ehehe.

[fiddlestick]

Oh, that's a good start! We should probably just need some extra soil and a watering can, and we should be set!

[don't worry Minako, it's pretty easy to plant flowers]

And ruby red is a perfect color for you! Mine's blue.

[complementing]

[Tell that to her plant killing thumbs :C]

I bet you had to paint a whole ton of places in the city, then. The sky and ocean would be pretty bad just by themselves.

[Red isn't needed quite as much.]

[fiddlestick]

Oh yeah, it sure did!

A few of us even got sent out to Pesgare to paint their town. That took awhile too, and we nearly drowned in the ocean once as it started coming back.

[complementing]

I'm glad you're all safe...going all the way to Pesgare sounds like a pain, though. I know it's important to the history of Recollé or whatever, but there's only so much we can do.

[Expecting the Retrospeccers to continually clean up messes is getting really old, really fast. Minako puffs out a breath of air.]

This is at least nice and risk free. So! Let's get started?

[fiddlestick]

Haha, it wasn't so bad. I mean, it was a lot of work, but we got to make some nice horse friends!

[SOME NICE SEA HORSIES. GOOD HORSIES]

Right! Can you help me with the soil? [He'll grab one of the 5 pound bags, but they might need more]

[complementing]

Yessir!

[A playful salute, and then she hefting one bag into each arm.]

...when these flowers bloom, do you think they'll have color, or will they need to be painted like everything else?

[fiddlestick]

[he grins at her as he picks up his own]

That's a good question. I kinda hope they'll have their own color. That'd be nice.

[complementing]

Yeah, I really don't want to go back to everything being colorless. It's so depressing. I mean...I'm glad everyone worked together to paint parts of it back, but I'd prefer if everything were right right colors, you know?

[fiddlestick]

Yeah...I know what you mean. Even with everything painted, it's not the same. The world seems so...incomplete.

[It was depressing]

But I guess that's all the more reason to put effort into these tasks. It's all we have to go on to making things right.

[complementing]

[She nods decisively.]

Right, we just have to keep up a positive mental attitude about it.

[She just hopes people don't get too tired...a year and a half is a long time to be dealing with Retrospec.]

And flowers are perfect for that. [She thunks the bags of soil down on the ground and kneels on the ground to start ripping them open.] Oh! Elliot! Are there any sunflower seeds?

[fiddlestick]

Ahah...right. PMA!

[What he watches youtube sometimes ok. He'll kneel down on the ground too, starting to dig up and till the soil too]

Oh, I think so? Why?

[complementing]

Because they're my favorite, of course! And because they are literally the best flower for positivity.

[It's why she got them permanently stamped on her wrist!]

[fiddlestick]

Hehe, I can't argue the positivity part! [thinking about it] Sunflowers suit you.

[Minako had such a big and warm personality, just like a sunflower.]
