Bumping just to see if there are any more suggestions. Sorry I haven't updated this in a while, I've been busy. I'll do it tomorrow.
Very good kittyChanged my mind, I'll do it now!
>'How do we know we can trust you?'
Stanley laughs. "What am I gonna do, eat you? ...Seriously, no. Of course I'm not going to. Even if I wanted to, I'm a carnivore, and you two aren't exactly made of meat."
> Go and find those flowers.
Joel agrees to go and find the miracle flowers. He and Nina head to the other side of the mountain. They find the flowers fairly quickly - because a bunch of hummingbirds are flying around and uprooting them.

Joel inspects the flowers to see if they resemble a certain deceptive flower he has heard of. Fortunately, these flowers are clearly non-sentient. Also, they're purple.
> Smell the flowers.
> Hum with the hummingbirds
Joel smells the flowers and hums out loud. The hummingbirds stop what they're doing and look at Joel. "HEY! What do you think you're doing?"
'''> Approach them and introduce yourself; additionally, tell them about your purpose here, which is to get some of those flowers. > Also, for the lols, ask Stanley: "Do you like milk?"
Stanley isn't here right now, Joel and Nina had to get to the other side of the mountain from him to find the flowers. But Joel will do that when he gets back.
Anyway, Joel introduces himself and Nina, and explains why they need the flowers.
>Can we have some flowers?
> Try negotiating with the hummingbirds; stealing from them just isn't right.
Joel asks the hummingbirds if they'll share the flowers.
"Share 'em?" says one, who seems to be their leader. "Are you joking? NO!" The hummingbird leader gives a somewhat nasty smile. "Now that that stupid eagle isn't guarding this mountain, the flowers are all ours! So buzz off!"
> Nickname one of the hummingbirds "Hummer", and the other "Humboldt".
Joel makes a mental note to call the leader "Hummer". He names one of the other hummingbirds "Humboldt".
>Scare the hummingbirds away.
Joel tries to threaten the hummingbirds to scare them away. Hummer laughs, and the other hummingbirds laugh with him.
"Ooh, haha, I'm shaking in my boots!" Hummer glares at Joel. "Now get out."
>Punch the birds in the face.
> No, let's not punch the birds in the face! Lest we incur the wrath of the hummingbirds...
> Or, you know, go ahead and punch them, since you are made of water, and your "punching" is basically just you splashing water at things.
> drown them with your fists
Joel ponders fighting back. After flip-flopping for a few seconds, he tries to punch Hummer, but Hummer dodges and flies upwards, just out of his reach. The other hummingbirds join him.
"Oh no, what's the matter? Can't touch us? For the last time, get out of here before we get tired of you!"

Very good kitty>Tell the hummingbirds that they'll live to regret the day they blew you off, when the earth floods and they're forced to fly forever and ever, until they get heart attacks from sheer exhaustion and drop dead into the world-covering ocean, whereupon their lifeless corpses will sink into the abyss, alone and unmourned, fit for nothing more than a shark's light snack before lunchtime. :V

⏰ Twitter/Instagram/Bluesky: anzasquiddles. Deviantart: anzahanifathallah. ⏰One thing I realized is that I haven't had Nina do anything in a while. From now on, I'll try to remember to at least have her comment on your commands, give her more of a personality.

Joel gives the hummingbirds a long and surprisingly epic rant about how they will regret their cruelty. The hummingbirds are shocked, but try to act like they aren't.
"Yeah, well, we got the flowers, and you don't."
"Good effort, Joel, but we'll have to try something else."
> Steal the flowers and run away!
> If anything goes wrong, ask Kurokku-chan or Nina for help.
> Flip the bird to the birds (optional).
Joel tries to grab some of the remaining flowers, but one of the hummingbirds swoops down and tries to attack him. Joel is forced to move back, while the other hummingbirds glare at him.
"Try that again, and next time we won't hold back."
"These birds just won't quit! Time for another plan..."
> Scare them away with our alarm clock, umbrella, needle, music box and/or rocks.
Joel threatens the hummingbirds with each of his items. He isn't impressed.
"Sorry that didn't work, but I appreciate your adventure-game-style-thinking of trying every object. Maybe there's something else we can do with them."
>Oh yeah, I forgot.
>Throw your alarm clock at them.
>DO NOT THROW HER
> Try shooting two of them with one stone. (Rimshot)
> Don't we have the rocks?
Joel briefly considers throwing Aramu Kurokku-chan at the hummingbirds, but quickly decides that he would never do that. He instead gets out a rock and throws it at one of the hummingbirds. He now has 4 rocks left. See the bottom of the post.
It bounces off and hits another one. Both hummingbirds drop the flowers they're carrying, and the flowers land on the ground in front of Joel.
The leader of the hummingbirds growls in anger. "That's it! You just dug your own grave!" He turns to the other hummingbirds and points at Joel and Nina. "GET THEM!"
"Whatever you do, do it quick!"

Sorry for suddenly adding a specific number of rocks, but I feel like I should have done that in the first place. That was my fault.
Very good kitty
