[ Cassandra read the message, retrieved the items given to her, and promptly stared out at the farm she would now call home. This was a far cry from what she was used to - the lavish estates and the mountains of wealth and influence her family sat on for centuries. But for a woman so out of place in her finely tailored clothes and obvious air of confidence around her... she did not seem overly alarmed.

Mingling with the lower class was not beyond her - but back home she always, well, went home. Here it seems she'd have to get her hands dirty and that is not something she is used to. Thankfully, she has ways of remedying that.

The video turns on after a little bit of trouble. Technology this advanced is also far beyond her realm of knowledge but it comes to her eventually. On the screen is a smiling woman - cleaner perhaps than she should be given how long she's actually been around the farm. ]

Good afternoon everyone! My name is Cassandra and I am but a humble woman seeking some aid on this newly acquired farm of mine. You see - I do not know much in the way of farming, but I am very willing to learn! If someone could please [ She bats her eyes here, smiles a little wider and seems genuinely sincere in her request and pleading. ] assist me in removing some of the larger rocks and debris from around my home I would greatly appreciate it. Surely there are people strong enough that such an endeavor would be nothing for them!

I do not have much in the way of gold just yet, but I am more than willing to return the favor in other ways. [ A wink. ]

[Cassandra did... did you mean that the way it sounded? Angela clears her throat.]

Unfortunately I can't help you with your boulder problem, but I am available if you require aid for injuries while you're here. There's quite a few of us in the same boat, after all.

[velutinous]

[ She sure did. ]

Seems most people can't. [ She's starting to get annoyed. And bored. What's the point in bringing so many non-farmers here anyway? To watch them suffer while they can't move some damn rocks?

She briefly recalls seeing her post on the network earlier. An actual physician might be useful to have around here. ]

Luckily for you, doctor, I am currently uninjured. Though I am curious - could I call you over for a simple check-up instead? [ Ayyy. ]

[eidgenossin]

A checkup? I suppose I have the time right now, if you're concerned. If you can, pass me some directions to your farm and I will do my best to be there shortly.

[Woosh, right over her head.]

[velutinous]

Not so much concerned as ... overdue for one? [ yeah, that's it. Se throws in some directions. Not hard to find. ]

[eidgenossin]

Overdue? [Tsk.] I'm on my way.

[It doesn't take her long to get there, thanks to her wings at least. When she arrives she lands near the shipping bin, her gaze glancing around the farm curiously.]

...Hello?

[velutinous]

[ Hi yeah what's up did you just fucking fly in? She looks over from her position on the porch, brows raised in surprise. ]

Well, hello. I did not expect you to fly your way in.

[eidgenossin]

Sorry if I startled you, Cassandra. [She smiles, stepping over with a hand outstretched to shake hers.]

It looks like you have quite the job cut out for you here. [not that Angela's looks any better, she's been otherwise occupied.]

[velutinous]

No worries, my friend. Just not used to people flying is all. [ You fucking people and shaking hands. Cassie grips Angela's hand firmly and nods, smiling. ]

Not for me, so much as the men that should be arriving soon. [ Then, she smirks. ] I don't believe I got your name.

[eidgenossin]

Oh, Doctor Angela Ziegler, at your service. Or, I suppose, at the service of the hands you've hired.

[Until then, however.] Farmwork must not be something you're familiar with, is it?
