welcome, new visitors

There isn't much fanfare for the new crop of visitors who have come in this month, but what they encounter is quite wondrous. Is it a cruise ship? Is it a hotel? Is it a tiny planet? No one can give them a straight answer, but all are encouraged to take part in the buffet, where visitors may find an assortment of foods both familiar and unfamiliar to them. There is an open mic night happening in one of the lounges on site, featuring staff and visitor performances. Or there are a handful of shops to browse if you're amenable to trading.

Visitors will find that the Hotel Multiverse at the Edge of the Cosmos between Canons (its official name) is very much alive beyond the bustling crowd. In fact, it might just be listening to you and anticipating your needs.

As for the rest? Well, that's up to you. You may as well socialize, right?

[The sheer size of the ship? Hotel? Planet?- whatever it was didn't bother Basil as he had seen plenty of interesting places before, excited him. Who knew that there could be so much in one space!

The buffet instantly drew his attention and he picked at the various foods, trying them with a pleased expression after each one. It didn't beat Mari's cookies but it sure was good!

The next thing he had set about looking for was a flower shop. If others were doing demonstrations maybe he could teach people here how to make flower crowns? Sure enough the place didn't disappoint, and he quickly found a shop- leaving with his arms full of various flowers and necessary supplies. How he paid for it was in question- but if that bothered the boy he didn't let it show- before he quickly set up in a corner and went to work practicing.]

[The scent of flowers hadn’t gone unnoticed. In fact, Omori had passed the shop without a second thought several times in his exploration of this place.

What did give him pause, however, was the familiar floral crown paired with mint green hair. How sickening. How nostalgic.

He stilled. One sole heartbeat, then another, till he followed the glimpses to where Basil had set up shop.]

[The sound of approaching footsteps caused Basil to look up, his face becoming a bright smile upon seeing his friend.]

"Omori!" [He gently put his recent project down, before quickly standing up and going to wrap the boy in a hug, assuming the other boy would allow him.] "How did you end up here?"

[Omori doesn’t stop the hug, so he allows it to happen, in a way.

The answer to Basil’s question? A shrug. How else does Omori get places? It can just be assumed that he found himself here, just like Basil.

~~Except, if it was Omori’s choice, Basil shouldn’t be here.~~

The boy glanced down at Basil’s unfinished project.]

[Basil for his credit doesn't hold the hug too long, instead giving his friend another smile.]

"Yeah me too... I just kind of wandered here." [Following Omori's gaze, he glanced back down at the large pile of flowers and supplies.] "Ah! I'm making flower crowns. Want to help?" [Regardless of if his friend follows suit, Basil sits back down and picks up the unfinished one, talking animatedly as he began to thread another flower.] "I figured it might be a fun thing to teach everyone! After all... Mari taught us so we should share right?"

[There wasn’t any verbal agreement, but Omori did sit down near the flower child. Picking up one of the rope bases on his own, looking through it… like it might lead to somewhere else.

Unfortunately, Omori was still here.

There was a small, silent sigh let go from his pale lips - more a release of air than anything - before he grabbed a flower, beginning to weave it into the base.

Ready to listen to Basil chat, as usual.]

[Basil for his part animatedly chatted with his best friend, weaving flowers and leaves into the rope base as he continued his latest project. It didn’t matter what exactly he talked about- how great it was that Omori was here, how this seemed like an interesting place, how the inhabitants were so interesting, etc.

Before he knew it, Basil had completed the flower crown and looked down with a gasp. He quickly stood up, crown in hand and gave Omori a sheepish look.]

“Sorry! I’ll be right back!”

[He quickly ran off towards the flower shop and disappeared inside.]

[For as much as Basil talked, Omori didn’t. But that was fine. It was routine. It was comfortable. And he did give little nods, head shakes, and shrugs every so often, so it was some semblance of a conversation.

Basil was much faster at making flower crowns than Omori. It didn’t help that the latter kept getting distracted or zoning out. He was only just reaching the halfway point when Basil shot up, quickly disappearing into the flower shop.

Well, that was… unexpected.

Omori looked around, unsure of what to do. Basil would return… probably. For now, he guessed he was going to stand out like a sore thumb - a monochrome space surrounded by bright flowers.

Another silent sigh followed.]

[It wasn't long before Basil was rushing back to where Omori was at, out of breath and missing the flower crown.]

"S-sorry Omori! I had to fulfill a promise..." [The boy was clearly out of breath he continued to talk.] "T-there was an old lady running the shop and she gave me all this stuff so I could make the crowns and I promised I'd give her one when I finished it..."

[He moved to sit back down, grabbing some new cord to start another one, when he noticed Omori's own flower crown in progress. His face brightened as he stared at it.]

"It looks amazing! You are getting really good at this!" [He shoots you an almost blinding smile.]

[When the flower child rushed back all out of breath, Omori almost expected that he had run into some trouble. He was still patient for an explanation, some of the tension draining from his prepared limbs at the fact a threat wasn’t nearby.

How very like Basil to fulfill a promise he had made. That was how he had gotten all these supplies then? It wasn’t too much of a shock.

Omori’s expression didn’t change much at the praise. In fact, he leaned a little further away as Basil got closer - almost like he was shy about the result not being finished. Or maybe he just valued his personal space.]

[To his credit, if Basil noticed Omori's discomfort he didn't say anything directly about it, merely leaning a little more towards the crown and less towards his friend.]

"See how you tied the flowers around here?" [Basil pointed towards various points where his friend had worked on the crown.] "It secures them really well so they wont fall off for a long time! If you keep using that method, this one is sure to last a while!"

[Basil shot Omori another bright smile as he picked up another wreath to begin connecting flowers to - this one being a yellow and orange combination.]

[Omori nodded. He was good at tasks. Unfortunately, sticking with them was the more difficult part. Still, there wasn’t much to do around here, and it was just Basil.

He continued to weave flowers in slowly, feeling somewhat at ease.]

[Basil went back to making another flower crown, humming as he did so. Maybe if they made enough of them they could make a business of it? Assuming they would be here a while that is… at the very least they could teach others a valuable skill- at least that’s what the flower child thought.]

Have you had a chance to explore? Meet anyone new?

[Omori wasn’t as altruistic as Basil - he was simply making the crown as something to do.

The flower boy’s question had him nodding and shaking his head. Yes, he had explored. He didn’t say what he had seen. And no - no new people were needed. He had seen plenty of them, sure, but he didn’t require having them around.]

Ah that makes sense… [If Omori didn’t tell him anything about their surroundings that meant that there wasn’t anything that his friend deemed dangerous around, which was a good thing in Basil’s mind.]

So… in a bit would you like to go exploring together? [Basil hadn’t seen much of this place yet but it seemed interesting enough. Maybe they could make some more friends together! In the meantime though, Basil continued working on the flower crowb, content with talking.]

[Omori took a moment to think, then nodded.

It was what he was used to: Exploring, gathering items, fighting bosses. Except the latter hadn’t actually appeared.

Plus, sticking near Basil meant his friend was less likely to get into trouble… which meant less headaches for Omori.

Speaking of… pale hands finished weaving the last available space on the crown. His gaze centered on Basil before holding the finished product out to him.]

[Basil’s face lit up once more at seeing Omori’s finished flower crown.}

That looks amazing! See! You are good at making them! [Basil’s gaze wandered to see if anyone else had come close enough to give some to.]

I wonder who we should give them to… do you have any ideas Omori?

[Kel had been there for... a while. At least long enough to tell he was not dreaming and somehow he really ended up in a completely different place. With the power of whatever magic. At least it was a good way to spend the summer?

but Basil... oh, he did spot Basil and his eyes grew as large as little saucers.

He had seen an oddly colored 'Sunny' around. And now... a Baby Basil? The flowers sure were a dead giveaway of the fact he was talking with a form of a Basil. Was there an oddly colored Kel too, perhaps? He approached, bringing both hands behind his back and leaning just a bit toward the flowers.]

Nice plants, buddy...

"Thanks Kel! I-" [Basil glanced up from the flower crown he was working on, before slightly freezing a moment, as if processing the boy in front of him. Sure enough he looked like Kel... without the familiar purple hair... as well as the teen being leagues taller than his friend.] "S-sorry... I thought you were one of my friends."

[Maybe the boy was somehow related to Hero and Kel? Although Basil didn't recall them mentioning any other family members... He gives you a slightly embarrassed look at the mistake.}

Huh... [So there *is* a differently colored Kel, huh? Will he be all orange? It would be fitting, all things considered.] It's okay, buddy. My name is Kel as well, so you got that right.

[He smiled down at 'Basil', studying him for a moment. He was... literally a baby version of his old friend. Maybe this was a parralel universe or something?]

Huh.... uhm... so, what's the plan with the flowers?

[Basil’s face changed into a bright smile as he looks up at this Kel. At least he accidentally got the boy’s name right!]

“It’s nice to meet you Kel!”

[At the question about the flowers, Basil grabbed a handful of them and held them out to Kel.]

“I thought it might be a good idea to teach everyone here how to make them! Would you like to help?”

[There we go, Blue-Basil was smiling now. That was good. That certainly was an expression he rarely saw on the actual Basil he was friends with, but... oh, not the right time to think about sad things.]

Pleasure is mine, flower boy. How should I call you?

[Because addressing someone as Basil 2.0 didn't sound really nice.. A hum as he reached for the flowers that had been offered him. Oh, heck, why not?]

Sure! I didn't make those in a long while so I guess taking some lessons from an expert may help.

“Oh!” [He gives you a sheepish look at realizing he had forgot to introduce himself.] “My name’s Basil.”

[Basil blushes slightly at the “expert” compliment and he continues on the crown he was working on.]

“O-oh thanks but I’m not really an expert or anything… just had lots of practice…” [His smile gets bright once again as he thinks about his friends.] “If you want an expert you should meet Mari! She taught us all how to make them! Although… I don’t think she’s here right now?” [The last part was said more as a question as Basil truly didn’t know if she was here or not.]

"Well, nice to meet you, Basil!"

Darn, even the names were the same in this case. Basil 2.0 it was, even if he was not going to say the 'two-point-zero' part out loud. At least the kid seemed nice as his blonde counterpart and Kel had to fight his instinct not to ruffle his hair when the other blushed and returned to his crown- God, having a baby sister certainly made him more inclined to be nice to kids, huh?

"Well, still more than I have. I do have practice with various kinds of sports but that's not the same." And then... Kel basically froze for a moment. Mari. Mari... thank heavens she wasn't there, even if it was another version of herself. Kel... didn't quite know how he'd react to her presence.

"Well... you could start teaching me though? Are you also... new around here?"

“Oh!” [His blush deepened even further when he realized his mistake. Setting down his own project he picked up a new base and stared at the assortment of flowers.] “s-sorry about that! Any specific colors you would like?”

[True enough there was practically every color and type of flower under the rainbow.]

“I just arrived a little while ago! How about you? Have you been here long?”
