[Didn't she just make a video today? NO. That would be her younger sister, and the keen of eye might even be able to realize there are hereditary similarities between the two. But there are differences also. For example, this particular white-haired woman appears much more...stiff. Even if she's not wearing her uniform anymore, her squared shoulders and lifted chin seem to scream 'MILITARY!' even in a soft and fuzzy gray sweater.]

Greetings. My name is Winter.

[Some of you might remember her all the way back from summer when she made a very detailed presentation on what types of moonlacing were and were not acceptable. This time, she's not asking for help. She's offering it.]

It has come to my attention that when we return to our worlds, we lose all memories of this one. It would seem that our actions do not matter.

[She drops her gaze for a moment, reinforcing her resolve to remain professional. Her emotions are starting to leak through just the same.]

But I would very much like them to, for the duration of my stay. Consider this an open invitation to seek my aid for any troubles you might have. If I am unable to render assistance, then I will help you find someone who can. The impression I leave behind will not be forgotten. I would have it be one of fond remembrance rather than hedonistic selfishness. I don't require compensation. I don't desire it either.

[Her jaw tightens, and her brow furrows.]

This is what I want to do. I am choosing it for myself. Seek me out if you have need of me, in public or in private.

That is all.

[Blip! And she's gone.]

[There was a time Winter might have leaped at the opportunity to commiserate with someone who can utilize magic naturally. Now? There's certainly no more point. She won't be wielding it herself.]

I see. Thank you for explaining. It seems you have a well-rounded set of skills at your disposal.

[Her shoulders lift and fall.]

With that, you might also employ your plant-magic and farming experience cultivating and maintaining the parks and natural areas, or working on a smaller and more intimate level with greenhouse plants that people might bring into their homes.

[Magic in Tyria is... interesting, at least when compared to other worlds. It also meant a lot of worry over balance and how they're going to deal with certain threats.]

I'm not one to brag about it, normally, but I'm also painfully aware I'm an exception not a commonality here.

[Oh, that's right. She learned about those somewhat recently.]

Oh, yes, James took me to one of the farms! The one run by the amazing centaurs!

[Which is saying something because Ana's experience with centaurs has been less than amicable. She clasps her hands together, smiling brightly at the memory. That was such a nice date!]

They seem to have their business handled pretty well, though. I don't want to barge in demanding a job or anything. The rest is something to consider...

[Maybe it wouldn't be a bad thing to break from being the "hero" entirely for a while.]

[She wonders if it's the same James she knows. ...It's still strange thinking of him by first name.]

I know of at least two people who favor house plants to a significant degree, if that has any impact upon your decision. Ultimately, however, I can only offer suggestions. I wouldn't want to choose someone's career for them.

I suppose running a business wouldn't be that far from running a guild. It might actually be more relaxing than trying to find something closer to what I used to do, especially if I'm working with plants...

[This has actually been really enlightening! She didn't mind the information about returning home with no memories or time passed because she already knew, and it just meant less worry over how her guild and family were doing.

She gives Winter a bright smile, knowing it likely won't be returned but knowing thanks are in order regardless.]

I'm sure this wasn't the actual intent of your post but I appreciate the help you did give me!
