[action] We don't need greenhouses where we're going...
[So there's all this snow. Snow is a novel thing for Vitalia, and a troublesome one, because 1: it's uncomfortably cold and 2: it kills plants. But Srta. Ruiz is not one to take this affront lying down! No, she has been cultivating things! Things which are now thriving happily near the treehouse! Things like pretty roses, and lilies, and several fruits! And a plant with fanged, snapping jaws! And a plant that grows eyeballs instead of berries! And a horrible, shriveled black thing that occasionally spits a fireball out in a random direction. (Thankfully that one's range is only about a yard, so there's no damage beyond a blackened circle around it.)
[And in the midst of this is a cheerful and heavily-bundled young lady, inspecting each plant and noting its progress down on a pad of paper, humming as she goes.]

[Melia had bundled up in her winter robes, that she'd previously rustled up with some magic dirt. Far thicker, but still colorful.]

Yes, I believe I've found a sufficient counter to the deleterious effects of the cold weather. My specimens appear to be the very picture of health thus far!

Every time you walk out of the towns in my homeland, you find something new. Such is the touch of Chaos.

My apologies for the belated nature of this response.

None of the plants strike her as horrifying or worrisome in the least. She's particularly fond of the fireball plant and has entered the charred circle without fear to pet it with a manicured hand. The plant seems to be enjoying the attention.]

I shall need a new greenhouse soon... it would be inconvenient to have cross-contamination of my specimens with the native flora. Though I must say, I am pleasantly surprised that the native fauna have not tried to make meals of anything.
[Not when you are a wuss from near the equator, suddenly transplanted to a seasonal climate!]
no subject
[Being impervious to cold is helpful, where underwear-eschewing is concerned.]
I believe there's enough for the fauna to eat without risking consumption of these hardier plants.
[Kuja nods, walking over to the plant with jaws, allowing it to nibble on her fingers fondly.] Fortunately, structures are so easy to create here.
no subject
Even in places of plenty, creatures oftentimes will take their meals as they will, with little distinction between one food source and another. I suppose the natives here are intelligent enough to know that their depredations are unwelcome here!
[Or maybe they don't want to get fireball'd or eaten. Or stared at.]
Yes, though I believe I shall delay any plans until the weather is more agreeable. I shall require several infusions of tea before I feel at all like a living thing again!

I'm... a bit worried about the fire-breathing one, though.

/casually tags this a week late
[She has to do a double-take at first, because the one spitting fireballs reminds her of the roses that had popped up not long after her original arrival, only in reverse. But, no, that can't be something of the Queen's. It isn't dressed up pretty enough. Deciding it's probably safe to leave it without putting it out of its misery, she passes by it, and then... stumbles across a bush with a disconcerting number of eyeballs sprouting from it instead.]
...the hell?
Fashionably late!

You made this thing?

[The bush stares up at Sol with interest. Possibly. It is difficult to gauge a bush's emotions.]
no subject
And the rest of them?
no subject
[The very idea! Sol, you wound her!]
Are you perhaps interested in the botanical sciences?
