So um
Avie and Cassy inspired a poem I had to write for Creative Writing
And yes, I was using a list of fabric and meadow flowers XD

Spoiler: Poem That I Failed to Come Up With Title For

Tiers of taffeta and daisies made of brocade
Surround me on all sides. I linger
By the window, avoiding contact with the
Giggling masses of lace and crêpe de chine.
Outside, the early summer sun smiles
Upon the cheery sunflowers and delicate Queen Anne’s Lace.
I want to be among them.
Silk gloves and satin hats mean little to me,
For they could never amount to the feeling
Of a world of milkweed and daylilies
All to myself.

Without meaning to, a sigh escapes me.
A flash of bright violet catches my eye, and I turn
To see a man with a crescent smile and shimmering eyes
Approach me.
His ebony hair is smoothed back, but I focus on the
Aster bloom tucked into front pocket.
I inhale sharply, for the fresh bloom is more beautiful
Than the towers of muslin, or chenille, or even crinoline.
Its color rivals that of the shawls of angora and eyelet.
My eyes lock with his, and I blink at the kindness I find there.

The view out the window blurs as I am swept into his arms
And into the midst of the taffeta and brocade I have come to despise.
Within moments, the outside air stirs my elaborate updo,
And a smile unwittingly blooms on my face
Like the small sneezewort flowers I admire from afar.
The man leads me off the balcony and into the meadow
Where all the violet geranium and blazing orange tiger lilies
Wait for me.
Stepping away from him, I crouch to take in the fragrant scents
Of the coreopsis rainbow and vivid gaillardia.

He joins me on the ground,
In the field of color,
And we silently gaze out at the ocean of blooms
That no color of silk can ever dream
Of living up to.
The man takes my hand, and we exchange a smile.
Once again, a breeze stirs the field
Filling the air with the scents of summer.

That's so good! I love the image of the crescent smile

Castiel: Asters mean daintiness. I believe that was meant to be ironic considering the tone.

Avril: I thought it was pretty!

Castiel: (Thoughts: I MUST MAKE HER SMILE EVERY DAY!)

Ooooooh. Your poem was so pretty!!!!!

And are Cassy and Avie interested in each other or am I imagining that?

Pfft no they're practically siblings
Cassy makes it his mission to make her smile every day, and she goes to him for hugs and flowers XD

Cute!

 

[AnimeGenork]

Cute!

She's the only other one Cassy has a flower name for XD
But that's because they relate to each other with the whole losing-their-parents thing
Castiel: AZUCENAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Katy apparently wants someone to relate to. She just tossed that at me. I wasn't even aware omg.

Dax said he feels what with the loss of his mother, but he also apparently gets annoyed with Castiel and I'm like: Daxie bird. Calm yourself.

Oliver: W-well they certainly interest me...like many other things in the world...

Kendrick: I'm sorry, am I making you uncomfortable? I can leave, if that'll make you feel better...

 

[stellar.nova]

Dax: You always this vague?

Katy: *slumps her shoulders inward and her face starts turning a bright pink* N-no. It is okay.

 

[AnimeGenork]

Dax: You always this vague?

Katy: *slumps her shoulders inward and her face starts turning a bright pink* N-no. It is okay.

Oliver: N-no, it's just.... I want to learn about everything I can....
Avril: *smiles* He's read more books than I can count.

Kendrick: Are you sure? I'm told I can be a little much sometimes....

 

[stellar.nova]

Oliver: N-no, it's just.... I want to learn about everything I can....
Avril: *smiles* He's read more books than I can count.

Kendrick: Are you sure? I'm told I can be a little much sometimes....

Dax: Look. *sighs* You need to calm down first off. Ease your anxiety. I'm chill, dude. Can't harm you one bit. You're just not givin me enough info to wanna be your pal is all.

Katy: *nods. after a quite moment, she realizes that what she nodded at could be mistaken for something else* Oh! I mean yes I am sure. Not that you can be a.... little much....I mean. From what I have witnessed, you can be, but I do not mind. I mean. I mind, but not terribly.

Oliver: Oh. Sorry. I'm just... I'm not used to talking to someone who isn't Avie... Um, what was it you wanted to know?

Kendrick: *smiles* I'll be sure to rein it in a bit, then. What type of music do you like?

 

[stellar.nova]

Kendrick: *smiles* I'll be sure to rein it in a bit, then. What type of music do you like?

Dax: Don't apologize either, unless you really hurt my feelings, yeah? There's no need for you to be apologetic. Tell me things about yourself.

Katy: Er. I used to like *slumps a bit* music from the 20s all the way to the 80s. But I stopped listening when my father.... *shakes her head* I do not listen anymore. To music. Unless it is hymns.

Oliver: Alright. Um, let's see. *looks up at the ceiling thoughtfully* I'm from Sydney, Australia....I got my Philosophy and Psychology degrees when I was 18, and I'm working on my PhDs for both. *blushes* I, um, am apparently a certified genius.

Kendrick: Hymns, hm? Are you religious? Or do you just like the songs themselves?

Dax: Er. right. I don't feel insignificant now or anything.

Katy: Russian Orthodox Catholic.

 

[AnimeGenork]

Dax: Er. right. I don't feel insignificant now or anything.

Katy: Russian Orthodox Catholic.

Oliver: *guilty smile* That's normally the first thing that comes to mind whenever people ask about me... But being a genius...it's not always as good as it seems to be. *bites lip*

Kendrick: Ah. I myself am Roman Catholic. Cousins of sorts in the religion department. Any particular hymn you like the best?

 

[stellar.nova]

Dax: Uh huh. Care to share just why that is?

Katy: Let all mortal flesh keep silence.

Oliver: *looks down at his feet* I, um, tried out public school for a year. It was great and everything, and this really popular girl asked me out, too. But, she... *swallows* She had a huge bucket of sewer water spilled on me, simply because I was too smart. I haven't gone to public school again since.

Kendrick: *starts strumming the hymn on his guitar* I haven't heard that one in a long time. It's a beautiful one, though.
