It looks like they don't want to entertain questions, only work.

[ She holds the flowers and looks down at them. ]

I haven't done much work like this before.

[countermeasures]

I've done some... not to work, but simply because I wanted to decorate my room with flowers from the garden.

[she hums]

We both have good taste, so they ought to appreciate whatever we put together.

[disingenuous]

We'll have to take ghostly aesthetics into consideration.

[ She doesn't want to get a headache from increased door banging. ]

Even if our tastes may be more pleasing to the eye.

[countermeasures]

What sorts of things do ghosts generally like?

I'd never encountered any before coming here.

[disingenuous]

I haven't either, but going off what things looked like when we came here.... perhaps something subdued.

[ Or maybe Roxana's just being 2% petty because of all the trouble Pride Sadako has caused. ]

[countermeasures]

We can try that.

[time to... try to make a subdued flower arrangement!



it looks like it's more suitable for a funeral than a wedding.]

[disingenuous]

[ She watches with Jiuqing does and follows suit. Roxana is a bit goth, so it takes that kind of aesthetic, too. ]

I think it suits. Wonderful job, Jiuqing. It's only if they'll like it....

[ She looks at the ghosts coming their way, like Asian mothers and aunties coming to offer their unwanted opinions. ]

[countermeasures]

[the ghosts approach, and look at their arrangements...



only to yeet them away. more flowers appear for them to sort through.

jiuqing smiles.]

Well. I suppose that is one way of making their opinions clear.

[binches, she would think if anyone had taught her that word.]

[disingenuous]

[ There's a similar sort of smile on Roxana's lips. ]

It'd only be fair if we gave them our opinions as well. We're here, too.

[ Not like they can leave. ]

[countermeasures]

Yes, I quite agree.

[it's poor manners to make them do this work and then just yEET THEIR EFFORTS AWAY, HELLO? rudeass ghosties.]</small.

[disingenuous]

[ It's time to fight.

Roxana walks over to the flowers that were yote, picks them up, rights them, makes them look almost as pretty as they did two minutes ago, and

sets them down in front of the ghosties. ]

[countermeasures]

[the ghosties immediately yeet the flower arrangement.

this time it's jiuqing's turn to walk over, retrieve them, make them look just as pretty -

and set them in front of the ghosts, smiling pleasantly.]

[disingenuous]

[ they really are going back and forth on this help

The ghosts knock down their flowers like feral cats.

Roxana can be a petty bitch, so this time, when Roxana picks their flowers back up, she imbues them with her color. Wow, these flower arrangements are so much sturdier and a ghost deterrent now.

Her smile is a little less pleasant. :) ]

[countermeasures]

[the ghosts try to reach for the floral arrangement to yeet it, but in so doing, end up shrieking and suddenly -

dispersing?

they're gone now.

jiuqing nods once.]

They deserved that.

[disingenuous]

[ She claps her hands in that getting rid of dirt kind of gesture. ]

If they can't appreciate our time and effort, it's their loss.

[countermeasures]

Precisely. Perhaps they ought to recognize good taste when they see it.

[they



they just ruined their ghost wedding by driving the ghosts away but ok]

[disingenuous]

[ It's fine, it's fine. ]

If they didn't want our input, they shouldn't have approached us in the first place.

[countermeasures]

That's right. It's poor manners for them to scorn our efforts when they're the ones who asked for them.

[(ghosties voices) well well well if it isn't the consequences of my actions]
