-Amidst new visitor time, the vine has picked up another new person! One that... Well she doesn't quite look like a girl at first, but we're sure most of the viewers will assume she just has a boyish look. It's easier to imagine than the Queen suddenly bringing a boy.

She lays on the grass, seemingly unaware she's being watched. Her jacket is off, balled up behind her as a makeshift headrest. She has the scroll in her hand, and she just seems to be watching the sky...-

I think... I have a hangover...

-To say the least.-

You sound like a Buddhist.

[mutation_is_great]

A Buddhist? Pray tell, what might that be?

[drinkswithminors]

Eh, nothing you need to worry about, I guess.

Anyways, my name's Akira. Satou Akira. Yours?

[mutation_is_great]

I am Melia, a priestess of Zephyr.

[drinkswithminors]

A priestess, eh? I'm a lawyer, myself. Almost opposite ends of the moral spectrum, according to some cynical folk, ha ha!

Not me, though. I can dig it. I was raised Catholic, after all.

[mutation_is_great]

Opposite ends of the moral spectrum?

[drinkswithminors]

It's a joke, Melia.

[mutation_is_great]

So, lawyer, mmhmm? That's a honorable profession. [Her tone is quite sincere.]

[drinkswithminors]

To some, I'm sure. To others, we're scoundrels and thieves.

[mutation_is_great]

I'd heard the legal professions were held in less high regard in other regions, and it seems, other worlds.

[drinkswithminors]

Eh. It's a living.

[mutation_is_great]

I suppose that would be the norm for lands where the profession is not directly overseen by a god with a great love for justice and fairness.

[drinkswithminors]

I never had much taste for any kind of god, personally.

[mutation_is_great]

With all certainty, Circle is a just and fair go. But I far prefer Zephyr, she who I have devoted myself to, for she brings merriment with her.

[drinkswithminors]

Multiple gods, eh? Like the Shinto?

[mutation_is_great]

Oh, are there people that worship single gods? That must be troublesome unless the god is great enough by their own selves to prevent others' meddling. Or do gods not make themselves openly known where you come from? I have heard of such worlds.

[drinkswithminors]

I wouldn't know. I'm not much for religion.

[mutation_is_great]

The gods of your world must act particularly subtly.

[drinkswithminors]

They don't act at all. The entire thing is based on faith.

[mutation_is_great]

Yes, so I have heard about some of the other worlds. The gods of my world leave no room for doubt of their existences.

[drinkswithminors]

Fun.

Look, this isn't really a topic I enjoy.

[mutation_is_great]

Very well! Just a moment. [She darts to stir this and that, add this and that, before she returns to the Vine.] Pray tell, what would your favorite foods be?

[drinkswithminors]

Why do you ask?

[mutation_is_great]

So I can prepare something like it. Or would your tastes run more toward drinks?

[drinkswithminors]

You'd make something for someone you barely just met?
