IC Contact

The crystals don't have a voicemail service, otherwise you'd be seeing a message prompt here. Which is unfortunate.

Please direct inquiries or delivery requests for the Blue Clover flower shop to its post rather than this post.

[Available contact modes: text/voice/image (crystal), handwritten (physical mail)]

The Blue Clover Flower Shop

A flower cart, owned by Rikka and Alice (rosettawall), that sets up in Merchant's Square daily, from a little after sunrise to shortly before sunset. The girls generally both staff it, though one or the other might be missing if they have other errands to run, and Mana (abundantlove) may drop in to help from time to time if things get busy or someone can't work. The shop is closed if neither girl can run it on a given day, if the three are assembled as the Dokidoki Precure for a job, or on holidays where businesses are expected to be closed. It stays open later when a floral-themed or gift-centered holiday is coming up. If the shop is closed, there will be a sign in Merchant's Square (or wherever the cart was open last) noting that, and the cart itself will be at the girls' house in the otherworlders' housing district; if the girls are home, they might be willing to help you in person.

The Blue Clover offers a delivery service; there's a small fee for making deliveries, which grows with distance, delivery size, and extra requests. Weight and size aren't really objects; Rikka and Alice have high carrying capacities even as civilians, and as Precure, either of them could just pick up the entire cart. Characters can request specific arrangements, or can contact the girls with a theme in mind, and have them put something together with size, cost, or availability as preferences - if you want something the cart doesn't have, the girls can try to get it, but it takes time and may affect cost. Future-scheduled deliveries will see Rikka or Alice coming to collect payment when they have free time; immediate deliveries or those requiring special trips will see them coming first.

The stand's initial selection isn't great, though it's fairly solid for an average floral shop. Common flowers like roses and carnations are readily available, while more complicated things will require acquisition from other places, or possibly another flower shop. Rikka expects the shop's inventory to expand as Notus yields to Zephras, and if things go well, she'd like to construct a small greenhouse to grow flowers year-round. But that comes later.

To order flowers, comment to this post with a character journal using the following form (this is handwaved by default, or could be a paper order form), or comment with a communication mode and starter and we can play it out, or link to a post and someone will drop by:
<b>Ordering character:</b> <b>I'm getting this order:</b> (In person or delivered. If it's the former, skip the delivery questions.) <b>I want it on:</b> (Choose a date for the order to be ready, either using the IC calendar or the OOC date. Keep holidays in mind; if the girls end up having to close the shop, Rikka or Alice will contact the character, and offer to either reschedule or return funds collected.) <b>Make me:</b> (What are you ordering? If you have something specific in mind, list it; if you have a vague idea but want IC suggestions [but don't care OOCly what actually goes into it], give us something to work with, whether it's an emotion or a person. If neither you nor your character really cares what's going in but wants to send something, give us a price range. Remember that one sylv is roughly equivalent to one US dollar.) <b>Take this to:</b> (Deliveries: who are we looking for?) <b>They should be at:</b> (Deliveries: where are we looking for them? If a character will only be at a given place at a specific time, give that too.) <b>Tell them it's from:</b> (Deliveries: is this being delivered in your name, in someone ELSE's name, or anonymously?) <b>I also need:</b> (Deliveries: any special requests? The girls can pass messages, or could feasibly even pick up things from other places and take those along too.) <b>Comments and concerns:</b> (Anything else we need to know?)

Questions and other requests can be posted here; if they're IC, use a character journal and add a communication mode, and we can thread it out if you'd like.

I'm pretty comfortable with how I play Rikka, so if I'm doing something weird, please let me know - either I don't know I'm doing it, or it's a habit I picked up and would appreciate feedback on. General comments, feedback, and concerns are welcome. Anon is on and comments are screened, but comments or replies may be unscreened to reduce repeat questions or concerns, or for anonymous comments so I can be sure you see that I'm getting back to you. If you would prefer I not unscreen comments, please let me know.

Rikka is in play at empatheias and has previously been played at high_seas. I use one journal for Rikka regardless of whether she's a civilian or a Precure (or for Raquel), so tags from this Rikka will always come from this journal. If you're looking for a Rikka with darker hair and green eyes that's in savetheearth, you want Winter Adamas, peacefulwinter.
