angelo_wingsRinoa had expected a number of things from this island, thanks to the warnings at the picnic, but the sentient flowers? Those had taken her by surprise.
They were adorable. They sang little songs and swayed in the wind and asked nosy questions about her love life.
"No, we broke up months ago," she explained. "The distance was too hard, since he was still at Garden. We stayed in touch, though."
A sympathetic chorus of ohhhhhhhhhhhhh's.
Who knew that flowers wanted to hear all about your ex-boyfriends?
(door and post open!)

Date: 2010-05-22 11:20 pm (UTC)The flowers did not think this was going to end well. Should they start singing again?
"It was my idea to get the President onto our train! It would have worked if he hadn't been a decoy. I came up with it myself, because Zone and Watts and everyone else, they were just sitting around hoping someone else was going to have a plan. So I did something, instead."
Close your eyes,
Give me your hand, darling
Can you feel my h---
"Not now," she snapped, immediately feeling guilty when she saw how saddened the flowers were.

Date: 2010-05-23 02:45 am (UTC)That was a lot of words for Squall, and he needed to take a deep breath afterwards.
Also, he was completely glossing over the part where the sorceress had taken control away from Deling, but they hadn't known that at the time of the train mission.

Date: 2010-05-23 02:50 am (UTC)Her father was head of the Galbadian military. What if someone had blown up his train, to make the same kind of point?

Date: 2010-05-23 02:57 am (UTC)Rinoa was being hopelessly naive.
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 03:04 am (UTC)Totally a super plan, right here.
"Besides! If it was such a bad plan why did you go along with it, if it wasn't going to work? You were hired to help! That's not helping!"

Date: 2010-05-23 03:16 am (UTC)"Besides, it did work."
no subject
Date: 2010-05-23 03:20 am (UTC)Why did she have to do everything around there? If it was a bad plan, help her think up a better one! Zone wasn't going to!
It was really hard trying to run the revolution solo.

Date: 2010-05-23 03:29 am (UTC)Besides, they'd been hired to help the revolution, not be the revolution. The Forest Owls were just playing at being revolutionaries, and they weren't going to be serious about it.

Date: 2010-05-23 03:43 am (UTC)The flowers looked at each other, squeaking uncertainly.
One bravely cleared her throat and started:
Tonight you're mine, compleeeeetely
and stopped again at receiving a death glare from Rinoa.

Date: 2010-05-24 02:33 am (UTC)SeeD got to pick and choose their battles, to always be on the right side... but even if they didn't, a job was a job. Rinoa didn't understand that, wasn't going to understand that. She was a fighter, but not a soldier.
He tried to argue an easier tack, instead. "Weren't there a lot of people who wanted to kill President Deling? He did bad things."
