[Sora's going to pop up really quickly, grinning.]

I promised cooking classes, right? Well, anyone who wants to learn, meet me at the spaceship tomorrow morning! There's enough room there for quite a few people to learn. And when we're done, we can all share!

[Sora is willing to provide directions, too!]

Also, um... Does anyone here want to go exploring? I know I've been here a year, and that I've had time to do a lot of exploring, but... It's always more fun when you do it with other people.

-The vine finds our winged girl in the kitchens at her residence near the Arena. She's got with her a whole counter full of ingredients.-

You know, it's come to my attention that a lot of people here in the Gardens don't actually know how to cook. I think I'm going to do my part to help with that! Today, I want to teach everyone how to make a speciality of mine, one of the first dishes I ever learned to prepare. It's pretty easy, too! It's called potato salad!

-INSERT FAIRLY SIMPLE RECIPE HERE. She demonstrates every last step as well, happily singing to herself inbetween steps. Seriously, it's like she's out of a disney movie. If disney princesses wore sailor suits.-

There! All done! Wasn't that easy?

It is lately I find myself curious... I have heard many a strange and curious tale of your homes. But a question burns at my mind, one that cannot be settled so simply.

Where I come from, the Kingdom of Ivalice, we exist as a monarchy with a feudal system. Land and property are alotted to noble houses, and they in turn pledge their allegiance to the crown... no matter who holds it. This is the only system of governing I have ever known... And yet I have been told of other methods.

So, I may ask... to what powers are you beholden in your world? Governments? The Church? Who controls the masses? Who pacifies them, and cares for their needs... or fails to, in any extent?

[Claire waves a little when the mirror appears. She looks a little different today....namely because instead of blue, her hair is bright pink. But she doesn't seem bothered by this at all.]

Hello, everyone--now that things have settled down again, I'd like to extend an invitation. But first...has anyone seen Miss Canada lately? We agreed to do this together, but I haven't been able to get in touch with her.

Some time ago she made an ice skating rink, and it would be nice to all skate together before it gets warm again, don't you think? I've made some refreshments, too.


[ooc: and the log is now up!]

[After a week — a week! — of being stuck at Ky's side, Sol was feeling...less than peachy. Considering her usual mood, this meant she likely projected a physically palpable aura of irritation that could be felt at twenty paces. And, seeing as she didn't care for being in this mood any more than anyone else would like dealing with it, she had chosen to search out some kind of distraction, sticking mostly to areas of the Gardens she didn't typically frequent. She didn't want to deal with anyone who might come looking for her, after all — even Dizzy, though that was more out of the desire to avoid snapping at her than anything else.]

[Which is why she is now currently sitting at one of the computers in the arcade, her attention completely absorbed by... clicking through Kitten War. Either she is very determined to be distracted from her current frame of mind or she really does like cats that much, because for once she actually is paying as little attention to her surroundings as she appears to be. It shouldn't be hard to sneak up on her now — though whether or not it's actually worth doing so is another matter entirely.]

*Well, Vivio wasn't too upset about any weird Valentine's day stuff going on so far. She was just busying running around, and practicing her martial arts in the air. But she had been feeling some sort of... well, pull, all day. It was kinda weird.

So, at some point, she decided to stop with that practicing and headed in the direction that the pull was taking her.

Eventually she'd find out just where it was taking her. Or more specifically, towards who it was taking her...*

[The vine has suddenly decided to tune in to its newest arrival!

... a redhead that seems to be sleeping comfortably on the ground. So comfortably that she is actually snoring and... is that drool on the side of her mouth? Yes. Yes it is.

Wait, it looks like she’s finally going to wake up!]


Don’t you worry anymore! I, Hong Meiling, will not let anything happen to this land I love!

[Or it could be that she’s decided to talk in her sleep.]

As long as I remain on guard, no harm will befall Gensokyo and its residents.

[What is she even dreaming about? Must be something pretty exciting, given how she’s raising her fist in the air. Fortunately, she wakes up before embarrassing herself any further.

She sits up, eyes half open, looking positively groggy.]


... Huh?

[Meiling finally begins to realize that something isn’t quite right.]

This isn’t the mansion. [An astounding observation.] Where is...?

Mistress? Lady Sakuya?

Where did you all go?!

[Looking more and more worried now.]

I-I wasn’t sleeping or slacking off! Honest!

[... right.]

Why am I wearing this dress?

[ooc: tags will be slower than normal for me but I shall get to them as soon as I can!]

[After a ending her conversation with Kris, Lambda set out on a quest. A quest... to learn to make beef stew. This means that today she can be found doing various things centered around this particular task.]


A. Video
[When she appears on the Vine, Lambda is already dressed for going out, which in her case mostly means that she is in full armor. She doesn't waste time before cutting right to the heart of the matter.]

I require information on the preparation of beef stew.

[She doesn't know anyone to ask in particular, and she hadn't wanted to waste time hunting someone down, so this seemed like the most efficient course of action.]


B. Action
[A while later, she can be found in Orchard, carrying a large basket. (It's hard to say where she got this from; maybe she constructed it out of the dirt herself?) Whenever she comes to a vegetable patch, she stops and crouches down, picking and digging up a fair amount of just about everything she comes across. She's not certain what vegetables go well with beef, so she's just grabbing some of everything instead.]

[Also of note is the fact that what seems to be a living radish pokes its head out of the basket every so often. Perhaps its appetite is the reason the basket never seems to actually fill up...]



C. Action
[Finally, having collected all the vegetables she needs, she sets out with a fresh basket and no Hoppip to find the "Arena" Kris had mentioned. She can be encountered either wandering near and far in an attempt to locate the place or actually there, looking through the meat that has been laid out by the bears. Where did they leave the beef, now...?]
