TWO FLOWERS ✿ video (backdated to oct 6th)

[terraformagica]

Um, good morning.

[ She gives the screen a tentative smile, but it's hard for her to get used to these terminals. It wasn't at all like talking to a real person. ]

There seem to be a lot of people who are new, so I wanted to say that if anyone would like something grown, I can help -- I'd like to help. I know we have the forest and the meadow levels but sometimes it's nice to have a bit of greenery in other places too, right?

Also, if anyone's wanted something different to eat since I know there's been a lot of pumpkins in the cafeteria lately!

[ She seems to gain a bit of confidence. ]

Oh, and my name is Amalia! I'll do my best to grow what you need!

[carrythesin]

You can grow plants?

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia nods like it's best thing in the world. ]

Mm, I can!

[carrythesin]

...Is it alright if I can have one?

[Weirdest request, yes.]

[terraformagica]

Of course!

[ Amalia looks delighted that her offer isn't so weird that no one wants it. ]

What kind would you like?

[littlesound]

Ammy! Ammy! That's a great idea! Really really great!

[And then she stops bouncing in her seat, and simply leans in closer, grinning curiously.]

...what's been growing? What've you got?

[terraformagica]

[ Yaaaaay Sonata, it's good to see you again! Amalia has missed that exuberance. ]

You think so? Thank you!

I've been trying a few different things. What kind of flowers do you like best?

[littlesound]

[And there is plenty of exuberance to be had now!]

Flowers, flowers.... Sonata likes, um... they're big and puffy-looking and come in pink and red and white, and... and they start with a "D"! Sonata doesn't remember the name....

Do you have any that look like that, Ammy?

[terraformagica]

A daisy?

[ Amalia cups her hands together and grows a pink daisy on the spot so Sonata can see it. ]

Like this one?

[voice]

[marchwarden]

Pumpkins?

[ Guess who never eaten pumpkin pie before. ]

You mean those outlandishly hued vegetables that now litter the cafeteria with their massive girth? They certainly don't look delectable.

Re: [voice]

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia giggles a bit at the description. ]

Yes, those are the right ones. You can make a lot of really good things with them, but even a Sadida like me can't eat them as a complete diet.

Re: [voice]

[marchwarden]

A Sadida?

[ Now that's a term that Haldir is utterly unfamiliar with. ]

What is a "Sadida" to be exact, and what sort of dishes can you make out of such a hideous plant?

Re: [voice]

[terraformagica]

Oh, I'm a Sadida! It's just a kind of person from my world.

But pumpkins can be very versatile. They're make delicious pie, and you can make pumpkin stew, or cook pieces over a fire.

[ .. oh, hey, this girl again.. the one who was sort of weird at one point but then sort of okay last time they talked? yup, he's not sure what to think, let's just try answering normally.. ]

Were you in some sort of gardening club back home?

Re: video;

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia giggles. ]

No, it was much more than that. My people are connected with nature, so I've been growing and helping plants grow ever since I was born.

[tsunball]

Woah, so you're saying that instead you're from some.. botanist family? [ he seems surprised all the same and he doesn't even half understand it yet, apparently.. ]

[terraformagica]

Umm... [ she thinks for a moment ]

I supposed that isn't a wrong way to think of it. Most people seem very confused when I explain it.

So would you like a plant?

[isthatashortjoke]

You should just start a farm at this point. I'm sure some of the minions of this place wouldn't mind having something to do other than sit around being unproductive.

Re: Video

[terraformagica]

I could do that, but it seems so... so impersonal!

Would you like a plant, Veigar?

Re: Video

[isthatashortjoke]

Wouldn't it be easier for everyone else though?

And...

Hmm...

Plants are pretty useful...

Do you have an evil special kind of plant? Something unique I'd say.

[starofpleiades]

Ah, you can grow plants? Like, vegetables and stuff?

[terraformagica]

All kinds of plants! Flowers and vegetables and trees and vines!

[starofpleiades]

Oh, wow! That'd be a really big help since, hahah, yeah, we're pretty much stuck with pumpkin in the kitchen. Don't get me wrong, pumpkin's nice but three meals a day?

[absolute_perception]

It's really nice that you're doing this for everyone.

[Elian is certainly happy about it but he's not going to make any demands on Amalia when she's helping so many others. That's enough for him to be happy.]

[terraformagica]

[ modestly ]

It's really nothing. Would you like a plant too, Elian?

[absolute_perception]

You don't have to do that for me. You're already amazing.

[He gives a small smile. He's more than happy to wait. He's been a bit off the network lately since the last time they spoke. He was a little scared that she wouldn't like him after the admission of his death.]
