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!

no subject
I know, I know, it was an accident. Where are your normal clothes?
[How did this dress fiasco even happen?? The town is testing the limits of his blod pressure already. He spends a few more seconds fiddling with the fabric, then- aha!!]
There, it's free. [She's still holding onto him... is he going to have to carry her around? He will, but.]
no subject
I woke up in it! It was fun then it kept getting caught on stuff.
[Reim is lucky she didn't try to just summon her chain to rip it off the nail. Small favors in this world honestly.]
Yay! [Throwing her hands up she hugs him.]
Reim carry me! [The demands begin...but mainly if she gets stuck again she might have a melt down.]
no subject
Ah, but okay, there she is launching herself at him. Give him a moment to make sure his glasses stay on--]
Yes, yes, hold on— [He shifts to get an arm around her and then stand, hoisting her up in the air. Thank god she's tiny. Now then, because he didn't actually say it-] You can stay with me, of course. In fact, you probably should... Let's try to find your things.
[Point him in a direction, Lily.]
no subject
Bouncing in place glad he agrees to hold her, she hugs his neck. Really she is carried enough to know how to keep herself from flying off.]
I wanna stay with Reim! [In his arms she's hugging him more before giggling.]
Oh...that would be a good idea! Um... [Lily looks around, in her process of getting caught on things she lost her location. In a few moments she points back behind them.]
That way...I think?
no subject
Off they go.]
Do you remember seeing anything memorable...? A certain building, maybe?
no subject
It was...a broken house? But a lot of them are...Oh! I think I saw flowers nearby?
no subject
A broken house, with flowers... [That doesn't help at all, but,] That's very good! Were there any other houses nearby, perhaps with more color?
no subject
Yes! See I remember something! [Not really...nothing helpful.]
Um...there were some red flowers that were nice?
[She tries to see if she can spot them.]
The other ones were mean.
no subject
Actually.]
Did you do anything to the mean flowers...?
no subject
...
[Quiet she then huffs and nods.]
They said my face was ugly! All I did was walk near them!
no subject
It's alright, it's alright— if you heard what they said about me, you'd probably think it was funny.
[But also it was vulgar and Reim doesn't swear around children. Imagine it.]
no subject
They were ugly! Who likes colorless flowers? Huh? They were mean to you too? Why are the rude!?
[A little more excited than needed. Lily is huffing about this, the flowers need to learn manners.]
Do you know where they are?
no subject
Well, there are quite a lot of flowers around here. I was closer to the forest, myself.
[But they're coming up on some new and different gray houses, so he nudges her to forget the flowers a minute and look.]
Was this where you were before?
no subject
The forest? Oh! That one.
[Distracted by the new topic, she hugs tighter as she stretches to look a little further. In a quick move she nods and points to one of the houses.]
That one! Reim is really good at findin stuff!
no subject
[This he says as she hugs him too tight and his glasses probably go a little askew but it's fine, it's fine-- at last, a house to investigate. He steers them dutifully toward the front steps; hopefully her things are here...
And of course, there are the flowers, but Reim simply walks over them on his way to the front door. Never mind these weeds!!]
no subject
As he walks over them she sticks her tongue out to the flowers. Inside she wiggles a little.]
I wanna help find my stuff, Reim!
((I love you Reim so much!!! I am so happy ;A;/))
no subject
[Don't think too hard about Break or he'll come back from the dead just to be annoying-- probably, that's how it works. Maybe. Inside the house Reim stops to swing Lily back down to the ground, straightening up with his hands on his hips and determination in his veins. Let's go!!]
Alright! I'll give you... four minutes to search! Ready? [he must be like this, it's a compulsion] Begin!
no subject
[Speak of the devil and he shall appear. Lily wouldn't handly...to be honest.
On the ground again, she nearly trips but recovers and trots off to a room before shouting out to Reim.]
I'm gonna find it!
