Gazania is also called a treasure flower, and it represents wealth and richness in a spiritual meaning in many cultures. These flowers are nyctinasty, this means that the flowers close up at night or on cloudy days and open up when it is sunny. This plant species finds use in folk medicine for the treatment of infectious related ailments including fever, croup, and tuberculosis.

[ yeah uh. gross?????? but in the context of friendship duties she will not pull her hand away ]

Soooo.......

[ please tell her what the heckie happened ]

[concoctive]

[ thanks yuffie you're a trooper. ]

... we got lost in the fog. All apart, at first, 'til me and Tot found each other and then saw Geto and Pickles. In a big castletown with white stone walls. But the streets were empty and the people... they were scared, hidin'. Like I've seen folks be durin' wartime and plagues in Orsterra.

[mogger]

Yeah, usually that means something's about to go down.

[ otherwise she continues to let him talk while holding onto his terrible corpsehand ]

[concoctive]

Don't blame 'em. The guards, we couldn't tell at first, they were so far away, but they were dead. Walkin' dead. I'd hide, too, if I were those folks. [ looking straight ahead on this part. ] And there was this tree, ain't seen one so big before. It was dead, too, but had this... rot. This energy and rot.

Like it was rottin' the place inside to out.

[mogger]

[ hmmmm. bad ]

That is like... serious nightmare fodder.

[ her hand trembles slightly in alfyn's corpsehand don't acknowledge it ]

[concoctive]

... yeah. Yeah it really was.

The tree was - it had people hangin' from it. People dressed like us. I dunno about two of 'em, but one of 'em was Gojo as Geto, and the other...

[ hey, his own hand trembles a little as he swallows thickly. like he's either trying not to be sick or is trying not to cry. ]

She was somebody from home. For me.

[mogger]

[ i can't wait for it to be tressa :/ :/ :/ :/ ]

Hanging, like....

[ trails off, because she is picturing hanging hanging. feel free to correct her if not the case ]

Oh shit.

[ squeezes his hand a little tighter ]

[concoctive]

[ TRESSA WAS AN OPTION I GAVE BUT NOT THE ONE THAT WAS CHOSEN fuckin imagine he'd be crying on yuffie ]

... yeah. Yeah. Geto and me, we tried to cut 'em down while Pickles and Tot went runnin' to voices they heard of folks from here. But Gojo... he revived before we could do anythin', tried chokin' Geto, and - and my friend, Prim, she just.

She screamed.

[mogger]

[ yuffie would never get her hand back that's for sure ]

It was probably... a trick. You know? To get you all worked up.

[ but she is shivering a little. reminded of the gi, a little... but considering just hearing this is creeping her out, she can't imagine how freaked out alfyn must be ]

[concoctive]

[ full stop this would be his hand for a week ]

It had to be. We saw you all, when we came back. You're all okay.

[ he's tearing up, just thinking about it, but there is a weight of sheer, pure relief when he says it. ]

[mogger]

[ oh no he's crying ]

[ oh n ]

[ tentatively.... hugs????? even though it's in relief ]

[concoctive]

[ oh okay we're hugging, instantly. ]

Gods - gods, and I didn't see anybody I knew, or anybody that treated me like a person, for months after that, after -

I'm so glad you're all okay -

[mogger]

Alfyn, you weren't even gone for... a day....

[ how could months have passed?? hewwo??? anyway this is hugging and it is happening. backpat pat pat ]

[concoctive]

[ thanks yuffie you're a pal.

he takes a deep breath, and just. frowns as he tries to wipe his eyes, releasing her to do so. ]

... I don't know. But it was. Time went by, and it all just... bled into each other. Until me and Pickles, we found each other.

[mogger]

[ well, she won't grab hold of him again, but he is free to hold her handsie in his terrible corpse hands ]

That doesn't make any sense....

[ but it's true that pickles seemed so much different, so much older.... and alfyn, now. well ]

[ she's thinking. but she quiets, so he can tell her more. if he wants ]
