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!

Comments

[terraformagica]

Exactly! Is there something you'd like?

[starofpleiades]

Hmm... well, things like that, basically! Are there any that are easier for you? Or, ooh! What kind of plants are good where you come from? Heheh, I'd love to try fruits and veggies from other places!

[She's... pretty sure green hair and plant-growing isn't from earth??? Or maybe she's a magical girl...?]

[terraformagica]

No, they're all about the same for me to grow. I don't mind it... it makes me feel more at home in this place.

I can grow tuberbulb, cawwots, babbage, jute...

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, wow! I'd love to see those? I think there's farmland on the 33rd floor, so that'd be a good place to do it!

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia nods excitedly. ]

That's a very good idea. Would you like to come with me and help me mark out some rows?

[starofpleiades]

Sure, I'd love to!

I'm Kazumi, by the way. Sorry not to introduce myself before... eheh, I was a little excited about getting something other than pumpkins in the kitchen.

[terraformagica]

It's nice to meet you, Kazumi! That's a really nice name. I'm Amalia.

[starofpleiades]

Heheh, thanks, it's the only one I got! [No really, she doesn't have a family name that she knows of...]

It's nice to meet you too, Amalia! That's a pretty name as well. I like your hair too! [She's never seen bright green like that before!]

[terraformagica]

[ Amalia grins back at the compliment. ]

Thank you! I didn't realize it'd be so unusual here though. Where I'm from, everyone's hair is green -- but we Sadida also have four hundred words for the colour.

[starofpleiades]

Wow, that's a lot of ways to say green! I guess it's like how they say Eskimos have twenty-two words for snow? I guess you guys really must like green!

[terraformagica]

When you live in a kingdom that's always growing, it's an important thing.

[starofpleiades]

A kingdom that's always growing? You mean plants?

[terraformagica]

Yes, exactly. All the houses are part of the trees. We live in harmony with the forest.

[starofpleiades]

Wow, that sounds so cool! I guess that's why you can grow plants, huh? Heheh... that must really come in handy a lot.

[terraformagica]

It's a little strange to meet people who think it's unusual here. At home it was so normal that no one gave it a second thought.

[starofpleiades]

Is it? I guess that would be kind of strange, if you came from somewhere this was commonplace.

[terraformagica]

I don't mind too much though, it means now I can use it to help other people.

[starofpleiades]

Hehe, that's a good way to look at it! Oh, so when did you want to meet and do the growing?

[terraformagica]

Ahh... how about this weekend?

[starofpleiades]

Alright, sure! That'll be fun.

I'll see you then? Let's meet at the dormitory stairs and go down together.

[terraformagica]

All right!

[starofpleiades]

[And then the event started and everything was terrible]
