Coat of Arms - Weeds

[you find yourselves sat at a large table in the center of a room, the table itself big enough for everyone to have plenty of space to work. There's already paper and pencils scattered across it, ready to use.

One of the walls is lined with shelves and cabinets, full of paint, more paper, crayons, markers—you name it, it's available to you. Need an easel to paint a masterpiece? There's plenty in the closet with canvases to use, too. Want some clay to sculpt your coat of arms, you mad man? There's a kiln in the corner.

It's time to get creative, kids]

You're pretty honest.

I'd argue my idea's cooler, but winning last time got me some much needed new clothes and a few other nice things. So, yeah, let's go for subtlety.

Howabout just generic vines growing into a complex shape blooming into generic flowers? That could be anyone.

Now we're getting somewhere.

With his blue, we could incorporate silver or gold as a metal. With a wreath of your flowers we can use it as a frame, so to speak. A cat for liberty could be a hint...or it could confuse others for Daffodil.

Hm... a cat trapped in a maze of thorny flowers, outlined in silver and gold?

Not trapped. Protected.

...

Rata wants a shark, though. Hm.

The shark is... 'protecting' the cat.

Yea. That's what sharks do.

( sakura nods, but amity is laughing so hard right now )

Sure. We could say it is curled around protectively.

Do you have any particular flowers you'd like to use... ah. I don't recall if we introduced ourselves...?

'm Rata.

[ still not adding the -toskr, too lazy... ]

Mmm, nah~ flowers are kinda lame. Unless you know a cool flower.

Black Dahlia.

...

( calliope smiles. she gets it. )

A blue backdrop, framed in silver. Vines blooming black dahlias wreathe a shark circling protectively around a cat.

Do we want any... embellishments? Coat of arms tend to have stripes or the like in the background, for instance.

...I want something that signifies despair.

I would say your black dahlias represent that enough, but... hm.

Perhaps, tied to the shark's tail... a broken anchor.

( showing her the book, anchors represent hope in the coat of arms directory. among other things, but like, we're kind of on a theme now what with the blue and the shark- )
