Okay, this is... kind of a dumb question, but—

[Hope leans back a little and sighs, adjusting the sling around his left arm with a slight wince. He's somewhat arched awkwardly over the journal's view, the book itself spread across his lap since he currently only has one hand to work the thing.]

I just moved into a new house, and I'm sick of this colour. [He shifts his upper body to the side, attempting to prop up the journal to show what he means. What the camera catches instead is a blurred view of the plain walls zipping past before it slips from his hand and falls to the floor with a thump.

Heaving an exasperated sigh, the boy stoops to pick the thing up, dropping it onto the bed next to him with a bit of a scowl.]

... forget it. But really, I'm going to paint the walls in my room this time, and I don't care if I get in trouble. So... does anyone know what would be a good colour, because... um... my favourite colours wouldn't look very good. [Day-Glo orange walls? No.]

[A pause.]

Can we... can we even get paint here?

[Very shortly thereafter, because he's stir-crazy after spending several days recovering from the battle, he'll be found either en route to or at the the plaza—which is essentially right next to his new home (House #41) anyway—journal tucked beneath his good arm.]

Who's going to get you in trouble? It's your room!

I don't know... maybe the people in charge of this place wouldn't want changes like that made to the houses? I don't really care, though. [SMILES... DEFIANTLY... somehow.]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

They already give us enough grief, they can keep their mouths shut about the housing! Not like you're going to wreck it. [She wonders for a second if they'd just change it back, like they do to the damage of houses... but she doesn't want to discourage Hope from trying this.]

I like the color green. You like bright colors, right? [As far as she can tell from the clothes >_>]

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do. So far I've... I've narrowed it down to either something with green or something more... blue. [But there are just so many different shades of each, and... ugh, his life!]

Hey, what's your favourite colour?

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

Hm... it's hard to decide. There's pink and yellow... blue and green are pretty too, though.

Most of the flowers I grow back home are yellow. [She does grow a few other varieties, though.]

[contempsi.livejournal.com]

[Pink and yellow are GIRL COLOURS. :|]

Why were they yellow? Why not another colour? [Curiously!]

[gardenerofgaia.livejournal.com]

[Hey pink is pretty tough if you think about how cloth used to end up pink from faded blood...

...even if Aerith would make a face at that.]

They're the first kind of flower I grew, and I loved them to bits. It just turned out the seed packet was for yellow flowers!
