[The face that appears on the Vine is cheery and bright, and her voice is the same when she starts talking. The woman's outside Seventh Heaven, arms crossed, one of the cats napping in the sun a little ways off.]

Okay, I'll play along for a little bit and believe that kitty cats can tell me what I need to know. [Since it's so ridiculous she might as well have fun with this...whatever it is. They got her clothes and food, at the least.] They can't, however, tell me if this beautiful building by the lake is in use or not, so if they aren't lying this'll get the word out. Who owns it, and if the answer is no one, then I might just go spruce it up-sound good? [It's what she knows, so why not? Though you really shouldn't have to clean in a fantasy.]

[Alternately, if you want to drop by, she'll be there airing the place out and humming songs to herself. She loves company, so don't feel shy about it-if she thinks she can get your attention, she'll try.]

[She laughs as she sets the broom aside and picks up the drink.]

It's pretty, like its inventor.

[Totally casually said as she takes a sip of it.]

[inflorescent]

[Aerith laughs too, pleased by the compliment. Why shouldn't she be?] Its inventor thanks you. It's lucky I have a pretty first customer to round things out.

So, what's the verdict? Does it taste as good as it looks? Do I have the makings of a great bartender? [These are all quite earnest questions, as she leans her elbows on the bar.]

[fromeighth]

[Flattery, she loves this. But the drink's a different story, she has to think about it objectively...hmm.]

...I approve, but you're going to need a name for it, because I can't doubt it's going to get popular. With practice you can become a great bartender, and I can share my wealth of knowledge. [Landon grins.] This could be the beginning of something beautiful.

[inflorescent]

A name...? You really think it could be that popular? And it's the first drink I've invented, too. I must be a natural at this, and I never knew. Are you a bartender too?

[She takes a sip of her own drink.]

That is good.

Hm, name, name. Since it's green, it should be named after something green, shouldn't it?

[fromeighth]

One of my talents-I help keep a place up for a friend in exchange for room and board, it's been long enough that I started seeing what I could do.

As for something green, naturally.

[inflorescent]

Oh, so you really are a professional! I'm extra flattered that you like it, then. [And she does seem genuinely flattered.] I'm sure there's lots you can teach me. I only made one up because I didn't know any real ones. I've never made a drink before. I used to work selling flowers.

[She ponders the matter a bit more, but finally there's an obvious answer she comes to.]

Green... well, how about the Lifestream?

[Something she's had a good deal to do with lately.]

[fromeighth]

I'll teach you what I know, and the rest is just improvised as you go at it.

...Lifestream? I like it. An exotic name. [Landon raises her glass.] A toast? To the reopening of this place?

[inflorescent]

Oh, so like most things, then. [She laughs again.]

Thank you! Exotic? Is it? I guess it could be. It's even a little strange where I'm from. [After all, few people are aware of the Lifestream, as it really is.]

She raises her glass along with Landon.] A toast! To this place! And us! [Because they were the ones reopening it, after all.]

[fromeighth]

[Clink go the glasses, and she takes a swallow of the drink. Now it was official, the place was theirs since no one spoke up. She couldn't be more thrilled-what a perfect dream.]

So, this Lifestream, what d'you mean it's a little strange?
