[Vitalia has finally gotten the nerve to go around the Gardens without being terrified of Reno's horrifying thuggery, and what's this? SOMEONE has been neglecting the place and allowed this parasitic pest of a plant to take over! Not that she disapproves of parasitic plants in general, but they must be carefully controlled! This is woefully neglectful! Well, as the resident gardening expert, she will take matters (and shears) into her own hands and clear up this menace!]




[OK maybe not so much.]

How curiously resistant this species of Santatales is! I shall have to obtain a specimen somehow...

I am Vitalia Ruiz Asención. [She curtseys one-armedly.] Is Pinoko your name?

Doc?

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

Uh-huh! [She wipes away the tears to smile.]

My name is Pinoko!

Doc is the world's greatesht shurgeon, even though he's unlichenshed! Dr. Black Jack is his name! And Pinoko's the wife.

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

You seem rather young to be a wife just yet! And... do you mean the same person as the doctor running the clinic?

[Vitalia: SO CONFUSED right now.]

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

A-ah, no, Pinoko's plenty old enough to marry! [She waves her hands, frowning with a bit of a confused expression on her face.] Pinoko's twenty, you know. Pinoko met the Doc when she was eighteen~!

... the doctor at the clinic has the shame name and looksh a bit like my Doc, but Pinoko's Doc is a man! They're different.

I see... you don't look very old at all. It must be a disorder of the hormones. I'm sure Papi would know more about that than I, of course.

How very strange! I wonder if it is the same reason that there are only female creatures here... It's all quite puzzling, don't you think? Oh! If Papi were to find his way here, I wonder what would happen...

[tomboyishcandy.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not really a hormone problem, but Pinoko gets that a lot.

Hmm? You think it has shomething to do with thish plache?

Who's Papi? Is he a doctor too? [She blinks up at her with curious smile.]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

I wonder what it can be, then? Oh, but I suppose it would do no good to pry. You must forgive me, I was created with woman's downfall of curiosity, after all.

My papi... I suppose you would know him better as Dr. Isidro Ruiz, one of the foremost doctors of the biological and surgical sciences!

Pinoko prefers to think of it as a gift! Curioushity might've killed the cat, but it's alsho what keeps ush learning more and more!

Pinoko hasn't heard of him, but maybe Doc has! Pinoko's husband is alsho the world's greatesht shurgeon! [Spoken very fondly, with hands clasped beside her cheek and a dreamy little smile on her face.]

[made-of-science.livejournal.com]

Quite true! You're an extremely insightful person, Miss Pinoko!

I should have to argue, if not for the fact that it is likely we come from very different times. Although I suppose you could be forgiven for your ignorance, as Papi's former colleagues have made a concerted effort to tarnish his name and reputation, all out of jealousy; they could never hope to be as brilliant as he!
