Prompt 1:
 t's probably been at least a little while since you managed to climb out of the well, so hopefully you've dried off by now and are enjoying poking around the Town. But who cares about all of that? More importantly, the Town has a new feature this time, for reasons entirely unknown to everyone.
The flowers...seem to be talking. They have no faces, but they will definitely turn to talk to you, and if they have had their color restored, they will very brightly and contentedly compliment you, or your clothing, or wish you well.
If they haven't? Prepare yourself for all sorts of horrible, horrible insults, because that's all that's coming your way.
Prompt 2:
 ow are you settling in? Is the Town treating you well? It's not as bad as it used to be; some of the houses have color, some of the food has color and taste as well. It's been polished up a bit since everyone first got here.
Granted, when you wake up that morning to find yourself in full fancy wear of many different types (all colorless, and gender has nothing to do with which you might end up in), you'll find that the Town might not be as well put together as it seems.
You can't get out of the formal wear. It just won't come off, no matter what you do. Which wouldn't be so bad, but... it seems like these clothes will snag on just about everything in the Town, which is far from smooth. Try not to trip over those loose cobblestones, or your dress snagging on a nail sticking out from a door frame. This is really not the place for this sort of clothing.
Prompt 3:
e loves me, he loves me not... that's a pretty familiar game, right? For some reason, the urge to pick one of those flowers and casually pluck the petals from it while playing that game is going to grow stronger and stronger the more flowers you see. Eventually? You're just going to have to cave to it.
(Certainly it doesn't help that the flowers scream a bit when you pull their petals; they still can talk right now, after all!)
She loves you, she loves you not...and by the time you've picked the last petal, you've forgotten who you were even thinking of originally -- instead, the very next person you see is going to be the victim of a very impassioned declaration of love. Don't worry, you'll come back to yourself...after you declare your undying love for everyone to hear.
Prompt 4:
 ut no matter how many people tell you not to go into the forest, however, it's still rather enticing, isn't it? It's sitting right there, waiting for you to explore it, waiting for you to just step a little bit out of the Town...
And soon, you're surrounded by the dark boughs of the trees, the twisty, turny paths of the woods, where it feels like you're wandering in circles for hours upon hours --
And then, after ages of tree branches yanking at your hair and roots tripping you up, you find a clearing.
And in that clearing? There's a field of flowers. They're colorless -- strangely eerie because of it, but still distinctly recognizable to the flower familiar as Asphodel. And touching any single one of those flowers will suddenly give you vivid memories of one of your precious friends -- so long as they're dead. Anyone around you is going to experience that flash of memory too, so be careful!

[Kairi can't help but notice how pretty this girl is. The dress definitely doesn't seem like her usual style, but she still makes it look great!]
Maybe we can find you something though!
no subject
Oh, really? How come? I thought with a town already being here there'd be options for pre-made things. That would be great, though, I'd really appreciate it.
[ She readjusts her grip on the skirt of her gown, struggling to hold the bulk of it. ] So how does this food thing work then if you all grow it? Does it get distributed or something?
2
Dude, I don't even know. Is whiskey vegan? 'Cause I do have some of that.
no subject
Speaking of this girl. It'd probably be rude right off the bat to mention she's see-through. And blue. Come to think of it, there's probably no real polite way to bring that up, is there? ]
But how did you bring the whiskey with you?
no subject
[ She tries to reach to get it out, but there are, like .... two thousand buttons in the way, between the collared shirt and the jacket she's got on now. ]
Will I get in trouble if I burst out of this thing?? Because wow is it super uncomfortable and I miss my crop top.
no subject
Too late. She's committing. There's a skeptical raise of her brows, seeing no obvious outline of the bottle as far as she can tell. Maybe it's the layers she's got on?? ]
Yeah, me too. I miss my closet so much. [ A wistful sigh. ] Good luck trying to get out of that, though. I've already tried taking this off and it's stuck like glue. Isn't this the worst?
no subject
Totally. If I wanted to look this stuffy all the time I would have died in Victorian England like Liam.
[ Polly will come a bit closer to check out Lottie's COOL AS HELL hair. ]
I'm Polly, by the way!
no subject
Oh no, not another one! I am not getting haunted by another ghost girl! I had enough trouble with the last one following me around everywhere.
[ And then, a pause. ]
No offense, Polly.
no subject
Girl, you have got the wrong impression. Following someone around everywhere is way clingy and weird. And honestly, haunting people is so last century.
I'm more of a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am type of party ghost! And this place looks like it could use some loud music and some alcohol, for starters.
no subject
I really wish the girl who haunted me had that same philosophy.. Okay, fine, as long as you really don't haunt me, then I guess we can be friends. But if I catch you floating around in my bathroom I won't hesitate to drop you. My name's Lottie.
And I have a question - have you actually thrown any parties before in any, equally boring, place like this one?
no subject
[ Unless it's to make WC wine, in which case she may have to borrow someone's toilet. Sorry if it's yours, Lottie! ]
One time I threw a party in a nursing home that turned out to be the most fucked up, insane party I've ever put on. [ She leans in conspiratorially. ] Old people are into some kinky shit, man. I totally underestimated them. Though the sex lasers probably helped.
no subject
[ Said in the most obvious way possible, because a ghost would definitely want to know. That's how it happened the last time, anyway! ]
Oh my god.. Ewwww! [ Lottie leans back a little from Polly, scrunching up her face at the image in the front of her mind. ] You threw a party with old people.. That had sex lasers? What does that even mean?
