Event Post
::Labirinto is full of Halloween supplies. Costumes, Ghost Story Books, Candy, Horror/Halloween themed DVDs and VHS, and various props. As well, the store front seems a bit more open and economic.

And perhaps you can talk to the store assistants. Which should be a lovely assistant, an annoying whore or the ditzy dress shop girl.::

=======================
Order Post
::For those who find interest in http://www.labirinto-domino.co.jp/ You find the front page asking if you will allow them to check your browsing history or to enter into a survey so that they may maximize their ability to get you exactly what you want.

Haaa, yeah. I kinda got busy with somethings and I needed to save up for a holiday!
You've got a lot more staff since the last time I came in!

*Juudai notices the book that he has with him. He tries to glance at the cover from where he's stood, without the owner noticing*

Edited 2010-10-25 23:55 (UTC)

Understandable. And yes we have. Demand requires more staff.

::The title seems to be in a foreign language, argh. Does look religious or something like that, though!::

Is there anything we can help you with, though? We aim to please and assist customers, past and present.

*It just had to be in a foreign language. Juudai wonders what's in it, but knows he wouldn't be able to make head nor tail of whatever was inside it.*

Oh, er, I wasn't really looking for anything in particular, just... browsing mostly!

*Realizing he's spent a bit too long in the spot he's in, he moves over to the section with the flowers and starts investigating the more exotic looking ones closely. After all, they seemed to be the source of the problem with at least some of the people who've had problems with the store*

*The greenhouse then, right?

Probably the first thing that would jump out at you Juudai is that there's real Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis there. That are kept more separated from other plants.*

*Yup! If that's where all the plants are kept!

Juudai stops and looks at the Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis and whistles*

Hoo, that's pretty impressive.

*... and you have a plant beaming behind you oh wait it's just Suguru's weird clone*

Isn't it? They're a bit difficult to care for when focusing on other plants as well, but they're definitely rewarding once they start to bloom! Everything becomes much simpler, then.

*Juudai turns around and looks at the Suguru clone that's behind him. He gives her a little smile*

I see.
Do you know a lot about the plants here?

*She nods happily.*

Yes. I mainly take care of this area, when I'm not cleaning or tending to the front of the store. If there's anything you'd want to ask about plants here, please, don't hesitate.

Is there anything in particular you're looking for?

*Juudai thinks*

Hmmm, what plants do you recommend for easing things like... anxiety or nightmares, things like that?

Oh, we have two perfect for that!

*She shows Juudai over to where some plants are set up-- half of them look a bit. Morbid, is the word for them. Dark and slightly dreary, though not all that bad when looking at it objectively. While the others seem a bit blank-- no real details to the flower. In fact, you have to half-wonder if there's even a color to it-- it's like you'd swear there's a word for it, but your head isn't grasping it*

The Flos Incubus and Flos Vanus. Or, in more basic terms, the Nightmare Flower and the Flower of Emptiness.

The Flos Incubus grows by absorbing one's nightmares at night, though it is generally suggested to, disappointingly, dispose of the flower after a few weeks in order to avoid over-growth, especially depending upon the individual.

The Flos Vanus is much more simple to care for, as it only grows from anxieties, and generally, it's color and appearance grows to match the individuals traits, instead. It is generally safe, especially compared to the Flos Incubus, and is able to last much longer.

*Juudai looks over the flowers, noting their apperance as clone Suguru talks about them*

Can you tell me if there are any side effects from using either plant?

*Juudai looks like a pretty happy and out-going guy, you have to wonder why he's asking about these plants in-particular*

*She does find it pretty odd, yeah. Juudai's such a happy sort! Maybe it's for a friend...? That would make sense to her, but...*

Well, there is a basic feeling of euphoria from using Flos Vanus at first, though the feeling does ease after a while as the mind gets used to the anxieties having a secondary route.

There is a small chance of the Flos Incubus overgrowing too quickly due to one's nightmares, based on intensity, and can become somewhat resistant to attempts to dispose of it. Though it doesn't achieve any state where it's dangerous. Both, of course, have any basic risk of allergies from those who are not easily able to tolerate plants.

There's some other, extremely rare side-effects, but the general chances of those happening are a one in a million occurrence.

What are the extremely rare side-effects, if you don't mind me asking?

Well... Since these plants were created as a result of Psychic testing, there have been rare chances of a plant gaining a form of sentience, and resistance to attempts to damage it. It tends to be very bewildering when that happens, though none of them have been shown to hold hostile intent.

The Flos Vanus has shown this trait, while the Flos Incubus has yet to have a documented case of it-- mostly since anyone tends to use fire generously upon it, before it could ever reach a stage where it's possible.

I see. So it's possible for the plants to kind of gain a mind and form of their own? And if that was to happen, would that sentience be related to, or show signs of, the anxiety or nightmares that it absorbed?

*She nods*

In a way. It, of course, all varies upon what might have been the mental source of the problems. *thinks for a moment*

Say, if a girl who felt they needed to act like a boy due to influences by their family, and felt anxiety from that, got the Flos Vanus, the flower would grow to show their more feminine traits as a way to express and release that anxiety.

*Juudai gradually smiles at the clone Suguru, it's a soft but knowing smile*

And that's how you appeared, right?

*... she looks down somewhat, as though ashamed.*

Yes. I'm a bit of a one in a million chance.

*Juudai puts a reassuring hand on her shoulder*

Don't look sad. Being a one in a million chance is quite special.

*She smiles a bit at the hand, nodding*

Aah, still. This isn't about me, if you're curious about these plants...

I'll be honest with you, I'm only here checking out the place since there's been a few incidents with the products from here and because of it I've notice some distrust amongst various people towards the store.
I'm also investigating the appearance of monsters in the city lately, like the clown that attacked you the other day.

*Her mouth makes a bit of an "Oooh" motion. Okay, that makes more sense.*

Well, I guess distrust is expected. We are an odd store, and it doesn't help that some things go astray. Doesn't help that some people also tend to not listen to our warnings or instructions...

*She sighs.*

I don't know where that clown came from, though. They... Disturbed me, acting like that girl. I am thankful at least that Samasu, Suguru was able to take care of it.

*Juudai nods*

It makes sense. Unfortunately sometimes people don't listen... or will happily abuse an item, despite warnings.

As for that clown... Suguru told me that as it was destroyed, energy shot off it and headed towards this area of town. I'm mostly checking this store out by default really. Seeing if there's any product you carry that could let a person either accidently or purposely create something like that.
That and the fact that it attacked both you and Suguru and that it's personality related to someone Suguru knew...

...what do you know about this "Fiancée" of Suguru's?

There isn't anything that we have that could have created it... All I knew about them was that they were very obsessive. Very blind, too, in a metaphorical sense.

... Also they seemed completely incapable of listening. *She seems a bit sour at that. She doesn't like people who don't listen.*

I see... *Juudai scratches his head* ... looks like I've hit a dead end again.
