Surprisingly, this booth has little to do with the stereotypical Famine style. In fact, it is covered with flowers, plants and crops of all sorts: deep emerald and ungoodly swampish, blossoming flowers and gnarly bushes, vicious predator plants and healthy looking crops.
Two Famine horsemen are managing the booth: Kiwi is rushing all over the shop gathering various plants and combining the bouquets, and Eisheth is being busy preparing some specific sets of nutrients and fertilizers.
There is a row of suspiciously looking pots standing on the front counter: they emanate an intriguing scent of spice. Looks like both clansmen put their efforts in creating these ones...
There is a pricelist attached to the counter as well:
PRICING:
Small Flower Bouquet: 15 Silver Pumpkin Seeds
Large Flower Bouquet: 20 Silver Pumpkin Seeds
Pouch of fertilizers: 5 Silver Pumpkin Seeds Description: with those fertilizers carefully selected and mixed by Eisheth everyone can enjoy growing a perfect garden! No matter what kind of plants you're after, everything will grow amazingly well in your garden! Or, at least, the description attached to the Pouch promises so...
Enchanted pot: 15 Silver Pumpkin Seeds Description: With this enchanted pot created by Eisheth and Kiwi together, you need just a single seed to grow your own dream flower! OOC: Is you're purchasing the enchanted pot, roll 1d100. If you roll 60 or higher, quote me, and you will get a raffle ticket. At the end of the event I will roll the raffle participants, and the lucky winner will get this pretty from their pot:
- Remember, you can purchase as many pots as your budget allows (aka rolls are only limited by the amount of seeds you're ready to spend), however you can't get more than one raffle ticket (so there's no sense in purchasing more, if you already rolled 60 or higher). - You can use this minipet ICLy: it grew from the pot you purchased at the booth!
OOC
RULES:
- You don't have to wait for the confirmation: simply RP your character buying anything, and don't forget to post the amount of seeds you have in the bottom of your post. - Feel free to rp a bit in this thread too as you please!

Somewhere lost amid a clutter of vibrant flowers and exotic vines by one end of the booth, something small and grey stirs, and a small whine issues from the flora. From the opposite end, a prickly, not quite convincing cactus drools at you almost delightedly with a friendly wave. Perhaps, it would be in one's best interest to avoid that end for now ...
Do you dare approach the flowers??
Approach the unknown:
As you come closer, you realize the grey mass to be a small pygmy vaisel, just woken from it's nap. Giving it a solid look reveals it is oddly grey and cracked, except for a bright, yellow glow to the eyes that somehow seems more sinister than it's tiny fluffy body allows. As you debate leaving altogether, it gives a small whine, thumping it's tail against a cluster of stringed flowers. A sign beside it reads:
Flower Crowns and Necklaces: 5 Silver Seeds apiece.
It seems in the mood for a sale or two, though the look in those golden eyes seems to say stealing would be a bad idea. A very bad idea.
Care to buy anything?? ...
Back away slowly:
As you attempt to leave, a head adorned in spindly red flowers pops up from behind the counter. The Famine horseman occupying it smiles towards you warmly, and carries on threading flowers onto a needle as though this were second nature. "Ah, welcome, didn't see you there, I was just busy working inventory! Care to have a looksee?? ... We have all manner of floral jewelry here. Some very exotic specimens, might I add."
He pats the counter with a hand, inviting you closer as he resumes his work. A sign on the counter reads:
Flower Crowns and Necklaces: 5 Silver Seeds apiece.

The bright colours had initially lured Mayaa to this booth, but upon seeing all the different kinds of flora, it brought a sense of nostalgia to her.
Just like home...
She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, opening them again to take in all the different flowers. A certain bouquet had caught her eye, and she walked over, picking up the fiery orange-red flowers. How pretty!
Hmm, 20 silver seeds... She reached into her pouch to pull some out, when something caught her attention. What was...
Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was a cute furry little minipet. Awwwwww- that was looking at her with a creepy yellow eye.
She gave a yelp and stumbled back, only to yelp again when a head adorning spindly red flowers popped up to greet her.
"A-ah, I just wanted to buy this bouquet..."
She pulled out 20 silver seeds and placed it on the counter. The flower crowns were kind of pretty, but she needed to save her silver seeds in case there were more things that captivated her. Surely there would be.

Mayaa currently has 102 silver seeds

Amarus, being a Lotus Eater, always loved to surround herself with greenery. However, buying cut flowers always seemed such a shame... Especially when she had just gotten an entire sweater for almost as much as the flowers, and now she was feeling frugal. But you know what? She had been traumatized enough by the various elements of Spirit Week so far, and as much as she was having fun, she decided it would be more fun to indulge in a flower thing. And if she got bored of it, she could just give it away! How could anything be better?
And so, as she wandered through the booth, she found some flowers, vines, something... cactus-y. Drooling. Waving. Wow that was unpleasant. Amarus cringed internally and bowed back to the cactus. She hoped it would understand that she did not really wave often.
And she did, indeed, approach the flowers. And the pygmy fluffy glowy creature. She read the sign, and selected one of the flower crowns. "Ah, I am going to... purchase one of these, and just... here," she trailed off, reaching into her obi to pull out 5 silver seeds. No big deal, and it was pretty! And wearable. How useful.
"They are all lovely..!" she assured, aloud, to whoever was nearby running this thing.
[[OOC: 94-5 = 89 silver seeds left. Those jerks in the gym did not give up their seeds >( so 39. EXITING.]]
Thannas could not have been more delighted to blunder his way into this particular booth. Hourglass pupils expanding with sheer glee, he cooed softly over the plants, fingertips hovering at times, though he knew better than to touch, canting head almost all the way 'round in an attempt to examine every one of the plants and flowers displayed. The pots in particular intrigued him, and the Fae-hound did indeed pause to pluck one of them up gingerly, barely bracing the pads of his fingers on the aromatic pieces of pottery. "Oooo~" OwO <3333
The tiny boil had shelves neatly kept next to the window that were lined with pots, little tea-plants and other such easily grown bits of flora were kept there, something of a hobby, really. There were also a pair of meticulously kept bonsai trees in the room as well, and Than rather thought that they could use some company. "Than will take thiiiiiiiiis pot!" He crowed, offering up the silver for his chosen item, cradling his new purchase tenderly in the crook of one arm. He'd have to wrap it up and stow it away for the trip back home.
It was then that he spotted the tiny vaisel tucked away amidst the blossoms, and he laughed softly. "Bestest of places for a nap..." He murmured, smiling brightly at the creature, and setting down five silver in exchange for a flower necklace. It would be a splendid gift for one of his friends! He could imagine Merry with the bright colors 'round her neck, or perhaps Aksaja...though the dragon would look a little silly, albeit er...brighter than usual. Than could just imagine the look on his face.
Waving a hand at the mini 'proprietor' of the shop, Thannas prepared to make his leave. "Thankee, and happyhappyhappy sellings!"

Azmodel was thrilled to find this flower booth. She loved flovers...
The bouquets were nice, but since she just moved into Amityville Academy the ghoul decided to purchase an enchanted pot and a pouch of fertilizers. she would grow her own bushy companion. She was pretty sure she could manage that alright.
Nodding to the two horsemen she left 20 silver seeds on the counter before leaving.
Akhem walked up to the colorful booth filled with plants. They were EVERYWHERE. On the counter and spilling off, hanging, on the walls, on he floor. THey came in all different shapes, sizes, and colors, some looking innocent, others not. Akhem couldn't believe that there were that many plants in one booth.
He walked up an noticed a little price sheet showing prices of items. He decided to try and get an enchanted pot, to see if anything would grow out of it in his dorm room. Akhem wondered if it could function without sunlight.....
He turned to find a shopkeeper and called out, "Excuse me I would like to buy something! I am interested in one of those pots for 15 seeds."
Heidla was delighted to see Eisheth and Kiwi have organised the booth for the spirit week. Could it be that those Faminers slowly started to acquire some good taste? No bones, no insects, nothing of this usual disgusting Famine stuff, just plants and flowers, and despite the fact there were a couple of not-really-nice ones, the amount of beautiful blossoming petals left the positive impression.
She even decided to buy herself a small bouquet: it would fit her room pretty well.
"Kiwi!", she called the faminer. "Is it possible to order the delivery? I don't want to hand around the booths with a bouquet, but it's surely beautiful, congratulations! Where did you learn all that?"

A sulking, still mostly drunk zomboil approached the stalls with his hands in his pockets, somewhat slouched but with eyes cast upward to observe them. Collectively it was like two sets of gardens had been grown atop their stalls and melded together, and the smells of fresh soil and flowers tickled his nose - nothing particularly unpleasant, but Mort was not one who enjoyed flowers for all their worth. But he was there for two reasons.
One being his angry ghoulfriend. The other being the proprietors of these fine establishments.
"'Member you two from class. Wanted t'talk 'bout couple've things if don't mind. First though you, ah . . . got n' special offers fer swirlskins?" he asked in a low voice as he approached, stopping to peel the glove off his right hand and show them the Initiates mark atop his hand.

The chimera traveled through the rest of the booths, she had stopped to look at the sweaters but had found them a little too pricy as she didn't have much in her purse. However, when she reached the flower stall her smile widened. So many colours! After identifying a few types because of her stay at 'Aunties' she noticed they were selling pots. The size would be just right for some herbs and she was sure it would make a perfect gift. While she was a little loath to hand over her precious seeds, the idea that Aunty would enjoy the gift made it completely worth it. Giving 15 seeds to the horseman tending the stall she grasped her pot tightly and peered into it, wondering what she should plant first.
The next booth had... oh, of course it had flowers. As Malodore looked at the items on offer, it felt a strong sense of nostalgia for the Isle of Famine, which it had so loved. It still had the seeds from Bulbous Rex. Perhaps it should... hmm...
"A large bouquet and some fertilizer, per favore," it asked politely. It would plant the seeds and fertilize them with this blend. And the flowers, of course, would be for Riley.
... Yes, the Isle of Famine had been rich in experience for them both... good and bad.
(Sorry, I forgot to roll) As Louku backed up, she accidentally knocked into the one right behind her. She stammered out an apology glancing up at the bird-visage and pausing for a moment. The wingspan was especially eye catching, and she fluffed her own wings a little in response. After the quick apology she was not sure what else she should say and attempted a sentance or two. "Beautiful flowers, yes? I like the purple ones, foxglove I think, they are good to see visions."

"Ah-" Malodore stumbled back, but was immediately mollified by the polite apology. "It is not a problem - the flowers are fine," it said, patting the bouquet in its arms. "Si, they are lovely indeed... I am sure my..."
It hesitated, about to say fiancee, but... well. "Ghoulfriend will like them," it finished, opening its beak in a polite smile.

"Ghoulfriend?" Louku smiled and nodded, "Yes, I am sure she would like them, I know I do!" The small chimera held out her pot for inspection. "Aunty sometimes grows things for her potions. I got her a pot to grow some of her special ones in 'cause sometimes they need more help an' this one says it's enchanted!" She would have rambled on more but something caught her eye. "Ummm..." She peered around Malodore before looking back up, "Can I ask where you are from?"

Malodore tilted its head to one side at the odd question. "From a small and insignificant home in the far swamps," it said, after a moment. "Technically. I suppose now, though, I am more from here then anywhere else." It studied her a moment longer, not seeing a skull pin.
