❀ 2nd Weed in the Garden - Action/Voice ❀

[shamelessness]

[Most of Shiemi's time here has been spent making her room into a garden. People who live in Community Building 1 may have seen flameson rushing all kinds of gardening supplies in and out of the first room in the building. As such for most of the time the girl has kept to herself (and her new indoor garden). However today is a day she intends to change that. She wants to try and get out and make new friends! The girl decides that the best way to do this is create herbal teas from her garden plants to give away to people. Hot tea is a great pick-me-up in this cold weather, right? Yeah!

So feel free to pick up some tea at C1's dining area. After that, she'll attempt to make a voice post:]

[Voice]
U-um! Hello ev-everyone. My name is Moriyama Shiemi and I... does anyone want to be friends?

Sort of...I wouldn't call that friends, though. [...What would she call that?] Acquaintances, maybe?

[shamelessness]

When does an acquaintance become a friend?

1/2

[blessingone]

...When you think she has? What kind of question -- hmm. [It's something that Fenimore thinks should be obvious, but she knows someone who never had a friend for the first fifteen years of her life, so she realizes it isn't so obvious for everyone.]

[blessingone]

It's not really some kind of line you have to cross. It's something that just...happens and you'll...well, maybe it's not obvious for someone who hasn't had friends before. I guess -- when you don't even have to ask anymore if that person is your friend because you know that they are, then they really are your friend. ...Something like that.

[shamelessness]

That sounds confusing. [But also makes some kind of sense? She's still wrapping her head around it.]

Do you have many friends?

[blessingone]

Er. I don't know if I'd say many, exactly. I did when I was younger, though. [Except those ones are all dead.]

[shamelessness]

You seem nice! I'm sure you have more friends than you think.

[blessingone]

...You're one of those people who thinks everyone is nice, aren't you? [She sounds mostly amused, though, and maybe even a little fond. Being called nice after tearing apart someone's worldview reminds her of the first meeting she had with Xion.] But I guess I can take it as a compliment anyway.

[shamelessness]

Do you think we could be friends some day?

[blessingone]

Well, it's not something I can predict. But...I think we could, one day. [She smiles slightly.] I've got a pretty good feeling about it.

[shamelessness]

I'm glad! I look forward to being friends with you one day, Miss...?

[blessingone]

-- Oh, right. [She seems to have trouble remembering to introduce herself on these.] My name is Fenimore. It's nice to meet you, Moriyama.

[What is Japanese name order?]

[shamelessness]

You can just call me Shiemi! It's nice to meet you Fenimore. [Because they will be friends one day. She's determined to make it so!]
