You know, these things aren't really that difficult to use, once you get used to it.

[Martel gives a little wave into the camera and a bright smile.]

Well, it's been a busy first day! I won't bore anyone with the details, but I wanted to introduce myself and make both an offer and a request, so here we are.

My name is Martel Yggdrasill. I was a healer back home, so if you get hurt, please don't hesitate to call on me. I know there's a doctor in town, but if you're closer to (INSERT FARM PLOT HERE), you might as well come down and see me.

Anyway, I'm trying to get an orchard started, but I've run into the slight complication of funds. I'm not necessarily asking for a loan or anything, just some advice as to how to best scrape together some... seed money.

[And the entire spectrum of humor groans in pain.]

If you're curious as to how quickly my efforts will... bear fruit, well, I have something to show you.

[Another terrible pun is followed by her promptly turning her device to take in a... full-grown apple tree. With several ripe, juicy looking apples already hanging from it.

What.]

Naturally. To wander out in the forest without making the proper preparations... well, I for one would be rather annoyed with anyone who did that.

[idealisticartist]

I think I'd be more worried. ...that's not to say that I don't understand why you'd be annoyed, of course!

[loving_goddess]

I would be worried right up until they were found, then irritated. It's... the sort of reaction you tend to get used to when you're looking after someone.

[idealisticartist]

...mmm, yes. I get that completely. [Not only because he's well aware she has a younger brother, but he has a little sister himself.] When you're looking after someone, you want them to be safe and not recklessly jump headfirst into things.

[Even outside of family members he's had to look after in the past, it sometimes feels the same way with his girlfriend too.]

[loving_goddess]

Exactly. You really hope that they'll have some basic self-preservation instincts, at least.

[Granted, in her case, at least Mithos had magic to protect him even from a young age.]

[idealisticartist]

All we can really do is keep nudging them in the right direction, right? [He laughs weakly. As much as he wants to ignore it, the discussion is slightly uncomfortable, if only because of what he knows becomes of Martel through Mithos. To have someone who looked after you with such care be taken away from you... it's an overwhelmingly sad thing to think about.] In any case, I'll be sure that not only am I thoroughly prepared, but my housemates are too.

Then there's really nothing else for me to say on the matter! Best of luck in your harvesting.
