[on the network today is a video of Hope! he still looks... a little disheveled, yes, but considering what he must have looked like upon his return from the camping trip? he's doing pretty good. he'd sort of gone missing after coming back to Asgard, though, and he kind of looks a little guilty as he speaks.]

Hey, everyone. I just... wanted to let people know that I'm okay, if anyone was wondering where I was. I was on the camping thing from a couple of days ago, and I've just been trying to recuperate. I didn't want anyone to worry about me, but... I guess that just did the opposite, huh? Sorry about that. [a short pause as he shifts gears, his expression hardening.] There are groups for people who want to learn how to better use their powers, right? If I learned anything during that, it's that I need to get stronger. We never know what this place has in store for us, so the better prepared we are, the more ready we'll be when something like that happens again. I'm sure that won't be the last time we're caught off-guard.

[he's about to finish his transmission with that, but then he remembers one last point. does his expression fall just a little more as he opens his mouth for this addendum? it must be a trick of the light.]

Oh, and if anyone knew Lightning or Vanille... they're both gone. I just thought I'd let people know about that, too.

[...there's a couple of moments of silence as he tries to think of something else to say. he can't come up with anything, though, so he chooses to finally end it there.]

[ Good morning, Asgard. Starting from 7 AM, you will wake up to this very important (!!!) audio message from Hanako.]

...

[ ... Okay, a couple minutes after 7 AM.

Ahhh, so nervous... it's not like she's not used to speak in the network, but this is the first time she ever makes importantly extensive announcements like these. It takes a while for her to speak after she opens the feed. ]

Ah, hello again. I'm going to take some of your time to make an announcement.

We have decided on a date for the Arbor Day event that will be hosted by me and Damien-san. If you remember our video post from a week ago, you'd know that we were working on a project to restore the flora that was ruined during the flood. We have made a lot of progress from that day, and I'm glad to say that almost everything is ready and set to be used.

I would like to thank all those who offered suggestions in the other post, by the way. Plus... the Drawing Life users for accepting to help with providing us various gardening tools, those who offered to spread awareness through advertising in their usual locations, Sasamori-san for the help with the leaflets' graphics, and everyone else who supported the project with either money or other material help. We wouldn't go this far without your contribution to the cause.

[ And then, a small pause so she won't fall victim to anxiety in the middle of the speech. ]

The Arbor Day will be occuring in three days from now, in the Sigyn's welcome hall starting from 7 AM. [ She makes sure to spell that very well. ]

I will be distributing coupons and leaflets around the city. If you'd like to help out, you only have to head for the Sigyn's welcome hall and pick whatever amount of leaflets you want to distribute. We have made plenty of them to use, and we would appreciate some volunteers for the task.

Thank you in advance. To all those who will participate, I'll see you in three days.

[ Finally! ... The feed turns off. ]


[Action]

[ Hanako can be seen around Sigyn shortly after the message, attaching some green-colored sheets here and there, handing some over to natives and even going inside shops to distribute various coupons with the same messages on it. Other than the slogan written in the link, there are different phrases she came up with. Like...

"Help us return Asgard to its beauty. Save the green!"

"Nature is the true meaning of life. Make a change and let the flowers bloom again!"

"The gods created them, the flood destroyed them, our hand can give them a new birth. Don't waver, join us!"

"Let's show the gods we can make Asgard more beautiful without their help. Join us!"

"One day to return all the green to Asgard. That's all we need, with your aid."

... Yes, all cheesy as hell. But hey, convincing enough.

You can meet her up, ask her wtf she's doing and/or help her out, or just have idle chats. New people are more than welcome! Anyway, she's going to do this for the whole morning and part of the afternoon. Come at her bros. ]

Dark out again. We can see the stars now. If we wanted, we could chart them. Find out where we are, make plans to get back home.
