WHO Forest planet occupants!
BROADCAST N/A
ACTION Enchanted Forest / Spa Time
WHEN Upon reaching the system (Jan. 4) to leaving it (Jan. 31)

[ It's another day, another planet for the Drift Fleet to explore. Whether it be relaxing in the landing field, checking out the spa (and subsequently getting urged to enter the woods), or taking on the Enchanted Forest's game, there's enough to do for stir-crazy Fleet members.

Just remember one thing: make it look good. ]

[he was really looking forward to coming in from the outside chill and slipping into this particular warm pool... but he stops short just inside the entrance and frowns.

and for anyone sensitive to magic--particularly of the death-element variety--he absolutely radiates with it.

which is why he's finding this place reeking of nature magic pretty repulsive.]

[Calm down, sir, it's only one lily pad. She could have done so much ~~better~~ worse, you know.

That gets her to open her eyes and perk right up until she's sitting, though. She doesn't feel murderous intent, it's not like that, but she hasn't exactly been comfortable with death for a long while. It's not exactly something you ignore.

Oh, hey it's Tek...which puts some things into perspective, honestly. Flora waves her finger, peering curiously but not intrusively.]

Hi, tek, fancy meeting you, here, huh. How are you?

Disappointed, honestly.

[he wrinkles his nose a little bit.]

...What did you do to the pool?

Why's that?

[Not that there's any shortage of things to be disappointed about. she blinks tilts her head at the question, though.]

I haven't done anything to it. [It's sincere, but she raises a finger to her mouth as she slowly starts to look contemplative about it like she COULD do something. It's a little lonely in here, you know? She could spruce the space up a bit.]

There's a giant leaf in it.

[and don't you don't go making it worse, missy. he will kill your new goldfish friends so fast.]

[Wow, that's rude tho?? :c]

Um...yeah? [She rubs the back of her head, speaking in a tone where she's slightly apologetic because she seems to have caused offense but doesn't understand what the problem is, here.]

There's not any floating beds, so I had to make do.

You don't think that's a little bold of you? To go growing plants in a public place like this?

[taking a few steps closer to the pool, but... ugh. he looks so grossed out.]

Uh, no? [Her tone isn't sarcastic or anything of the sort. She has half a mind to start pushing the tips of her fingers together. Should she not have?]

I mean, it's perfectly harmless. It's just a leaf.

Oh, yes, plants never harm or bother anyone. The popularity of herbicide is beyond me. Especially in places that are meant to be public, and clean.

[and he's just going to keep up the flat, offended tone. she has every reason to feel chagrined, as far as he's concerned.]

[Herbicide sucks, just fyi. She frowns mildly.]

Well, no, of course not. [But Flora is neither obtuse nor pedantic; she won't go into all the ways plants can be harmful...fascinating as the topic is.]

It's a magic lily pad. It's safe and sterile, and isn't introducing anything into the water that it shouldn't. But if it bothers you so much I could get rid of it.

Please do.

Not everyone is instantly thrilled by flowers and leafy greenery everywhere, you know. ...And it's frankly a little insensitive to assume that they are.

[On the one hand, she doesn't want to put someone out of their fun, but on the other she's almost personally offended, and she folds her arms.]

That's a little much, don't you think? [No, Flora, he obviously doesn't think. Or care.] It's just nature.

[But then, he is giving off death vibes. Maybe this makes him uncomfortable the same way hurting things hurts her. ...She might be being unfair, here. Exhaling, she waves a hand and the leaf dissolves into golden light and she lies back in the water, leafless.

Her voice is actually not unkind.]

I'm sorry, there. Is that better?

Yes. Much.

[and he resumes his approach, stepping over to take a seat on the edge of the pool so he can hang his legs into the water. mmm yes.]

Thank you for being so understanding.

[Oh gosh, he thanked her. She simultaneously feels really good and really guilty, but best not to dwell. She acquiesced, they can move on.]

You're welcome! So, if I may, and you don't have to answer, but what are you, exactly?

You first.

I think that's fair.

[because apparently just a little bit more balancing of the scales is required here to truly even them back out, as far as he's concerned.]

[She doesn't actually care that much now that she knows for sure that he's more than he seems, and she did ask first besides; you have to give a little to get some back, sometimes.

So, the reply comes easy. Easier.]

A fairy.

[--oh.

that was obviously not the answer he was expecting. he blinks and his smile fades to a look of surprise.]

You are?

...Do you know a girl named Krista?
