June Catch All

Who: Makoto Kino & Open
What: Catch all for the second half of June.
When: June 14 to June 28
Where: Various Locations, Flour & Bloom (Cellar Door), Maze under the city, The Boardwalk

Content Warnings: Ghosts/supernatural horror for the boardwalk prompt.

At Flour & Bloom:
Despite the rumbling earlier in the month, Flour and Bloom had managed to remain fully intact and all the walls were still standing. Between Snow-White and Makoto there was almost always something in the oven, giving the shop the smell of fresh baked goods, a sweet scent that lingered into the street and mixed well with the flowers that they were offering for the month.

For June there was Tulips, Day Lilly, Peony, Lavender, Roses, Sacred Lotus, & Black Knight all of which were in bloom and were pretty. As well as many of which were supposed to be calming and were said to have mystical properties to help deal with restless spirits. As for the bakery it was stocked with Cinnamon Delights, Lavendar cookies, Lemon Drop Cookies, Angel Food Cake, and by special request once or twice Apple Pies; but only when Snow was out for a bit.

Walking in there's a small bell above the door, alerting Makoto to a guest. In apron and summer dress she'll cheerfully call out,

"Hello, welcome to our shop, how can I help you bloom today?"

Visiting Friends:
So with everything that was going on, Makoto was making sure to visit all of her friends with baskets. Each of them had incense inside along with a vile of Vial Blood she'd given, some lavender, and whatever their favorite baked good was. Many people had been having nightmares, so there was no way that Makoto would let them get out of accepting something that might help with just a little rest.

Knowing that most of them would argue about it she didn't bother calling ahead and instead just showed up on their doorstep knocking.

The Under City: Featuring Sailor Jupiter
Why was there always a secret tunnel or city underneath wherever they were? Jupiter had made it a point to start coming down to the maze through the cracks to help others and to make sure that there wasn't anything dangerous down in the lower levels. Luckily the light from her tiara made the area right around her visible in the darkness, giving off enough to see for about ten to fifteen feet. Jupiter wasn't great with maps, but she was certainly up to facing any danger that might lurk down there and was willing to face whatever they had to uncover what was going on or to learn a little more about the true nature of Trench.

"Stay close."

The Boardwalk:
Makoto was walking down the boardwalk on her own, at least it looked that way at first until two figures seemed to join her, one on either side, taking her hand. Only they were reaching much lowever than where Makoto's reach was now.

"I remember, we would always go exploring when papa got home from work. Going for walks to see what we could find."

The ghosts had appeared recently, and it was only through sharing memories of her childhood that she managed to calm them enough to keep the house and the bakery in one piece. The mother looked very much like Makoto, or what she would likely grow to look like in a few more years, and the man had a few similar features as well. Still, while they were complacent with the stories at first, it did little to keep them so, it was obvious that Makoto wasn't a little girl any longer. They wanted their little girl, and as they walk along the beach the woman begins to lament for her missing child.

"I'm still here."
