[Utena's standing near her flower, and looks confused and a little annoyed.] I hope you don't grow up to be a rose. I've had enough of those to last a lifetime. Besides. [She sits down next to it, legs crossed in front of her.] Himemiya's not here, and she's the one that's best at flowers. I don't know anything about them at all.

[A heavy sigh, and she shifts...she looks sad now.] I bet she'd know how to take care of you. Maybe if...I take really good care of you, when she shows up, I can show her. [She nods, as if confirming this, her expression clears to her usual cheerfulness, and she now addresses the mirror directly.]

Say, er... [She scratches the back of her head.] Does anyone know if we've gotta do something special with these flowers? All it takes is water and sun, right?

[Today our purple haired alien android can be found in the garden's generously stocked library, sitting in comfy chair and surrounded by several stacks of books that range in size from two to a dozen books each. At the moment, she is pouring over a rather large green tome, whose title is obscured from view by the angle from which the video is being recorded. Then, after a few moments of Yuki simply staring into space, an action that usually means the biological interface is deep in thought, she puts the massive book down and begins to speak, in her usual monotone voice, to anyone who cares to listen via the vine.]

Hello. As I have told some of you I have been studying the underlying data structure of this world. Today, I seemed to have reached the limits of what I can find through my own means, due to this fact I will publish my results now for others to see. My conclusions are as follows:

First conclusion: The data structure of this world is inherently stable with occasional spikes in instability that quickly disappear or repair themselves. Due to this fact, it seems escape from this dimension is impossible.

Second Conclusion: The being in charge of this world,  also known as "The Queen," is a high level multi-dimensional being similar to the Integrated Thought Entity. The constantly changing nature of this world may also suggest that this being is capable of data generation in the same manner as Haruhi Suzumiya.

Third Conclusion:
The lack of male-type beings, the literature contained within this library, and the general theme of this world seem to point towards the "Queen" having a fascination with the female gender.

Final Conclusion:
As of this moment, I cannot reach any satisfying statement about The Garden's nature aside from those previously. I feel as if I have failed as a observational unit and will continue my research as soon as new evidence can be obtained.

[Signum is looking, extremely confused, at the tiny flowerbud she found while following the string around her ankle. She still has Laevatein out from trying to hack the cord off, in fact, but she's largely forgotten about it due to the weirdness of the situation.]

Why have I been tied to a flower?

...what do I do with a flower, for that matter?

[Someone want to help her out?]

[Rin's looking a lot less awkward than the last time she posted, and prodding the flower's leaves extremely gently - and rather fondly - with a senbon as she speaks.]

It doesn't resemble any of the nastier plants from where I'm from, so I'm guessing it's harmless. Does anyone have information suggesting otherwise? Or, um, maybe explaining why they were tied to our ankles?

[Tifa's kneeling down by her flower, humming softly to it. She straightens up, smiles at the mirror, and waves. Her mood seems much better than it had been at her arrival.]

Hi everyone. I've heard that people are able to make things here. Ah...I was wondering. [She tucks a lock of hair behind her ear--the movement is oddly self-conscious.] Can anyone teach me how? I'd like to build something.
