robyn-ok:
“Hell yeah did I mention it! Trust is a strong word, but what’s fun without a little risk? Can’t say I’ve ever been taken to a club by a stranger though. I’ll start, I’m Robyn.”
“Well, Robyn, it’s my pleasure to meet you. You can keep calling me a stranger, or you can simply call me Iris if it makes you more comfortable. I’m getting way too excited having a new friend to go clubbing with. This weekend needs to come A.S.A.P.!”
robyn-ok:
“I guess. It’s just that death affects a lot of things and it makes it difficult for people. I’m trying to become a person who makes money off of keeping people alive… I have a complicated relationship with it. But…eh… Wish they didn’t have to close that one club on tenth. I’d so hit it over the weekend.”
“... Did you mention club? Now you’re talking! Clubs fade out all the time, no need to burn yourself over those. If you trust me, I can take you down to one that opened pretty recently so it hasn’t been ruined with creeps all over yet. Oh my god, it’ll be so much fun!”
robyn-ok:
“Yeah… too deep isn’t always the way to go…” She chuckled. “It makes me mad, to put it simply. It’s so inconvenient.”
“Oh... Well, that’s pretty silly. It’s as inconvenient as it’s inevitable, so you’re always going to be mad. I think you need to lighten up.”
denvergreene:
“It’s very admirable! You’re doing a great job, Iris! My name’s Denver, it’s good to meet you.”
“You’re such a sweetie. It’s good to meet you too, Denver. So what do you do? Besides being so nice? Because I know you don’t get paid to be nice.”
robyn-ok:
“No place is free of undesirable things. It’s how the universe works. I just want a place that’s less…overwhelmed. Everyone’s near death, if you think about it…Wow, that took a turn… A bouquet is sweet. I’d leave one for you too if I could stand death.”
“You’re right. You were starting to get way too deep there for me... But it’s okay, I forgive you. What do you mean by ‘if I could stand death’?”
denvergreene:
“Your enthusiasm for living is very admirable!”
“Thank you. I work on it on the daily... I’m Iris, if I forgot to introduce myself.”
wthripley:
“I’ll remember that,” Ripley nodded in both awe and slight fear. Choosing not to dwell on the statement, the man merely nodded upon the mention o his mother. “Yeah, she’s great,” he sighed softly with a smile, “but now I just remembered I haven’t brought her flowers in a really long time. What’s the name of your shop? I need to stop by before the next time I visit her.”
Iris shook her head with disappointment. “You haven’t brought her flowers in a really long time? You’re awful. You’re really, really awful.” She laughed to let him know that she was just joking, then explained, “I work at the Scent With Love, floral arrangements delivered right at your door... It’s just off the main street with a huge greenhouse in the back where our flowers grow with as much light and care that they need. You honestly can’t miss it.”
denvergreene:
“Moving on is important but that doesn’t mean we can’t show some respect. It’s only a moment.”
“Well, when the moment’s over you can count on me to be done and over with it. I guess you can say I like to live in the now--emphasis on live.”
robyn-ok:
“Yeah… People live and that’s cool, but I can’t help thinking that after I’m done learning what I can learn here, I’ll go to a quiet place and start practicing medicine there. Over here, we’re overwhelmed with the spectrum of… you know bad stuff. But yeah, they can totally deal with me. Less paperwork.”
“That sounds like the quaintest dream I’ve ever heard. Who’re you going to give your medicines to if you’re away from all the bad stuff, though? When you work with people’s lives, it seems like you’re always going to be near death no matter what. But don’t worry, if you die, I promise to leave a bouquet for your memorial.”
denvergreene:
“I’m sorry that it’s boring for you but it’s good to remember those who have lost their lives.”
“It’s good, but good can only get you so far. We all need to move on eventually.”
wthripley:
“Damn,” Ripley laughed in both surprise and shock, “Who knew the world of florists were so cutthroat? I’ll remember to watch myself the next time I pick up a bouquet for my mom. Might end up walking out with a fifty pound wreath or something,” he snorted playfully.
“Just don’t go near me when I have shears or pruning tools next to me. You’ll never know what I’ll do to you,” Iris laughed at her own humor a little to hard. With the smile still on her face, she told him, “Oh no, don’t worry. Mothers are different customers and I’m sure yours is a lovely lady. If you go to me, I promise to make her a good one at an even fairer price.”
robyn-ok:
“If that happened I’d die from work exhaustion… all the people heading to the hospitals. That’s nothing near a vacation for me.”
“Oh, you work at the hospital? Then of course you’re never gonna have a break in a city like this... But hey, look at the bright side! If you die from work exhaustion, at least you’re already at the hospital for them to take care of you.”
denvergreene:
“Body …coun–but the moments of silence are very important.”
“I suppose. It just getting numbing after the hundredth one. Makes me feel like I’m the one who’s dead.”
wthripley:
“People actually buy flowers for that?” he asked in surprise before laughing lightly, “what kind of flowers do you give someone that says ‘hey thanks for making sure the city isn’t destroyed!’? Probably not roses, I’m guessing.”
“You’d be surprised,” she couldn’t help but roll her eyes. “I usually just put in as many flowers with colors that match whatever hero they’re being given to. Then I throw in whatever signs and ribbons and banners to make it look big--whatever to rack up the tab, you know?”
robyn-ok:
“I don’t know if they get to play afterwards…But yeah a pause sounds nice. I wouldn’t mind being able to take a vacation from all this. It’s overwhelming sometimes. It’s all ‘Menace does this,’ ‘Villain claims lives,’ ‘Accident here!’ How Stressful…”
“Exactly! Someone should give all those villains a vacation. Then we can all catch our breaths here and nobody has to deal with anymore of the same headlines saying that the hero saved the day.”
denvergreene:
“Thermopolis is always so busy! I hope everyone was safe though.”
“Same. The news gets so boring when all it reports are body counts. It’s like I try to watch the news to know what’s going on, but then I fall asleep as soon as they start doing any moments of silences. I can never win.”
robyn-ok:
“Thermopolis is just so busy sometimes. It sucks not being able to keep up completely, but whatever, life goes on, right? In any case, there’s never a short supply of work…”
“Life goes on... but it does still makes me wonder how much of my life is actually my life. I feel like I’m doing work, work, work, and then it’s all those super powered heroes who get all the rewards and play. Just once, I’d like things to pause so I can keep up and play, too.”
