(OPEN...ish.) Hana in japanese means Flower, so it just makes sense!

[burntviolet]

Who: Hanako (burntviolet) and ALL THE SIGYN MEMBERS, ALL OF THEM. Especially the ones she has good CR with!
What: Hanako has decided to actually practice her Growth powers, and for that, she needs something to train on. So she's going to use the House's yard area, at a time where a few people walk around- about the night time. Before that, maybe it's best to have a little exploration of the area! Whether you notice her from your rooms or just pass by, if you see her and try to talk to her, she'll be scared at first. But don't worry, that might dissipate soon if you show good intentions (and you don't ask about the scars).
When: Day 59, late evening.
Where: Sigyn's House, somewhere in the yard.
Rating: G, nothing bad should happen here. IT'S ALL ABOUT BONDING~

[After a long time of thinking and brooding, Hanako finally came to a decision. Staying holed in and doing nothing but think about the incidents of a few days ago would do nothing good to her, except feed on her depression. Not even the books that used so much to distract her were working now. Try as she might, she'd never forget of the past events... and she's tired of having her eyes prickle with tears everytime something reminds her of the trauma. Hisao only could do much to relieve her spirits, but he can't magically make her problems go away. That only depends on her, and frankly, she doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for her.

The idea is that she needs to engage in a new activity. Joining the Neighbors club would have been a good step, but it would take a while for her to get used to the idea of meeting that bunch of unsettling people in person. So, in the meantime, she must concentrate on something else entirely. Those semens Laura had sent her days earlier might come in handy.

When she's sure that all the housemates are away, she dons her hoodie outfit, grabs a small bag with the semens and a couple gardening books in it, and quietly sneaks out of her room and out of the hall. Good, the path's clear!

The rain of the past days has left a pleasant aroma and a fresh air overall. It helps her mood a bit, somewhat. For now she'll just walk around, through the spots where the moonlight and the lights from her house still illuminate the patches of grass and trees, while holding the bag protectively in her arms.

There's no way anyone would suddenly bump into her, right? ... Right?]

[And Hanako will follow behind, at some distance to feel comfortable.]

[saving_sound]

Let's see... the hospital is over that way... Oh, and there is a cute café if you keep going down that street there!

[She happily chatters away as she points out the different directions.]

[burntviolet]

[She walks in silence, looking at all directions Hibiki is pointing her while covering her face some more.]

[saving_sound]

[She abruptly turns around as she points out another building.]

And that one is a flower store!

[burntviolet]

[She startles at the sudden move.] ... Uh?!

[saving_sound]

[She freezes when Hanako startles.]

--Eh?

[burntviolet]

[...]

Oh- I'm sorry! Y-you moved all of a sudden...!

[saving_sound]

Ah- Did I? I'm sorry, I didn't realize I moved so... fast...?

[burntviolet]

... Just, p-please be careful...

[She's easily jumpy, man 8(]

[saving_sound]

Umm... O-okay!

[She obligingly slows down, although now she might be... too slow...]

[burntviolet]

[Well, it's better than nothing. Hanako follows again, a little calmer.]

[saving_sound]

[She continues pointing, her movements much slower and deliberate.]

Over there is my favorite place to get tea!

[burntviolet]

... A tea shop? [Peeeeerking up.]

[saving_sound]

Yes! They have all sorts... Even some that I have never heard of before.

[Hibiki's quite excited, herself. Tea is the best!]

[burntviolet]

Oh...

[She's reminded of the Shangai, somewhat. That small but cozy tea shop... But who knows how popular this place is.]

Do m-many people go there?

[saving_sound]

I think it depends on the day... The weekends around noon are really busy, but all of the other times I've gone there weren't very many people.

[burntviolet]

[... Good. She'll make a mental note to try this shop out in the weekdays, and she'll bring Hisao along.]

I see... thanks for the i-information.

[saving_sound]

You're welcome!

Do you like tea as well, Ikezawa-san?

[burntviolet]

Yes... I do.

[saving_sound]

Me too! I make it all the time here. It's so delicious, don't you think?

[burntviolet]

It really is... it's... relaxing.

[saving_sound]

[Hibiki nods.]

There's something fun about making it, too... That's probably why it's the only thing I'm really good at.

[She gives a small, embarrassed giggle.]

[burntviolet]

Hm... I understand. It's... it's fun f-for me, too.

[She wistfully looks aside.]

[saving_sound]

What kind is your favorite, Ikezawa-san?

[burntviolet]

B-black tea...
