02 Purpose

[tezukamarilyn]

This is not a journal. I keep a real journal in my bedside drawer to detail and remember the events of each day. I do not need another. After a few days of observing the use and intent of this space, I have come to a conclusion:

This online record is a blank wall. A blank wall in no special place within a city that stretches beyond what can be perceived. Whether or not someone looks, reads, or thinks about a wall is pure chance. People do not typically stop for walls, but i choose to blemish this one all the same: Not every Icarus has the opportunity or humility to reflect on their fall from the sun.

I suppose I am to make friends with like-minded walls.

That is a very profound way to look at these, Tezuka-san. It's a perspective I hadn't considered before, but I like it.

They are just the thoughts of a person with no idea how to use this social media application.

How do you use it, Saeki-kun?

[ikemen_garden]

Mostly I use it to keep up with friends or advertise for my shop.

[tezukamarilyn]

Aa. What does your shop sell?

[ikemen_garden]

Indoor and outdoor plants, seeds, garden supplies, cut flowers, flower arrangements, and we do Christmas trees starting the first of December.

[tezukamarilyn]

I see. Thank you for the information.

Perhaps I should buy mother flowers.

Sadly, our selection of bonsai isn't very large, but perhaps that might be something we can expand. I'll have to talk to Momo-kun and see if he thinks it would be profitable.

[tezukamarilyn]

If my grandfather brings home another bonsai, there may be war int he household...But there is no harm in browsing.

Mother likes flowers.

[ikemen_garden]

Exactly! And really, it's no one's fault if a bonsai just...happens to jump into your arms and come home with you.

There's a wide variety of them to choose from. And if you like, Momo-kun can craft an arrangement for you based on your flower choices.

[tezukamarilyn]

Bonsai are incapable of jumping. I suspect teleportation.

Momoshiro? Does he work there?

[ikemen_garden]

Hmm, I hadn't considered that possibility. But it does sound like something bonsai could do.

He does, and as soon as I get a chance to, I'm going to legally declare him co-owner of the place. He's more than earned it with how much he's done to keep it running while I've been laid up.

[tezukamarilyn]

If a plant expert thinks so, it must be true.

That is generous, on both of your accounts.
