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.]

I like to think it's my most a-peeling feature.

[No, stop, it's too much pun!]

[autolatrist]

Kind and beautiful... You must be the apple of everybody's eye.

[loving_goddess]

Oh you're giving me too much credit. I'm simply rooted in the idea of helping things grow.

[autolatrist]

Ah, you've tended my heart to full bloom! Alright, since I can no longer fight this feeling- I'll be your first donor, my honey!

[He's completely missed the point here.]

[loving_goddess]

Er, wait a moment. I think we've slipped out of the subject.

[She thought they were just having pun! Er, fun.]

[autolatrist]

Hmm? But... it's for your fruitful venture, right?

[loving_goddess]

If by that you mean buying more saplings, then yes... though I wasn't actually asking for donations. Just ideas.

[autolatrist]

I see... In that case, you've come to the right person.

[An expert in getting his hands on money without actual work involved! ...Never mind that he's the one who came to her, but whatever.]

Have you tried gambling?

[An... expert...]

[loving_goddess]

Have I... now?

[She was going to ignore that little issue of who came to who, but abruptly he gives her something entirely different to boggle in disbelief at because... really?]

I have to admit, that idea had not occurred to me.
