[For a moment, there is a close-up of what looks like one very bright green eye, then an "oh! sorry!" muffled from somewhere, and the image pans out some to reveal a young woman. She's perched on the edge of a bed in a room with a growing collection of potted plants, her long hair pinned back in a messy bun.

She waves! And smiles.]

This network sure is lively! I didn't expect to see so much open discussion... [Especially concerning the topics, is the implication here, but it's said so cheerfully it's hard to tell if she's being insulting or not.] but that's good, isn't it? It's nice to see so many people getting along, even if they're from different places. It encouraged me to use it too.

For those of you I haven't met, my name is Aerith. For those of you I have, thank you if you helped me, and I hope you're all settling in alright. It's been a big adjustment for me, but I think I'm finding my way around things. It's hard to say! I guess I won't know until something big happens.

More to the point...I wanted to talk about something. Where I'm from, I used to grow a little garden in a church. I've got something of a green thumb, you see. [:)] I've been doing work into finding out what grows here locally, and I was thinking of expanding some. A community garden...that'd be nice, wouldn't it? I've never grown anything with other people. I suppose I'm a little shy about it. [:))] And as I'm learning, it would take Chroma...

But new places are all about expanding your horizons, right? Let's work together. If you've never planted anything before, once I've got everything set up, I can show you how.

So!

What sort of plants would you all like to see? Something edible? Floral? Anything from home? [She fistpumps.] I can try my best to grow it!

Oh, and —

Can anyone tell me more about the plant life here? I want to learn as much as I can.

Simpler, maybe? Some of them do require a shot of magic energy right before use, on the other hand. There are other ways to get the same things done, too, so it sometimes comes down to just personal preference.

[evanescent]

Personal preference, huh...

What sort of magic do you prefer, then?

[witchwithoutacause]

The fun and flashy kind, of course.

[ ...and sometimes that covers up for the sneaky kind. ]

[evanescent]

Fun and flashy, huh.

[She seems amused.]

So showboating?

[witchwithoutacause]

Just whenever I'm in the mood. Otherwise, I like flying, mainly.

[evanescent]

You can fly? Really?

[This she sounds clearly intrigued about.]

With wings?

[witchwithoutacause]

On a broom, actually. I could show you.

[ Does she know what witches are? Please? ]

[evanescent]

A... broom?

[Hadn't there been something like that in the Golden Saucer's haunted hotel?]

Like a witch?

[witchwithoutacause]

Exactly!

[ Hallelujah. ]

Because I am one. No warts or cackling though.

[evanescent]

No?

Do you have a black cat, at least?

[witchwithoutacause]

Not really my style, unfortunately.
