[ when the video turns on, it features susan looking a wee bit frayed around the edges - slightly tired, though nothing particularly alarming. she's smiling, nonetheless. ] I never thought growing anything can be particularly tiresome. [ normally one will have time on one's side, after all. here, with it depending on one's own energy and willingness... it's completely different.

...oh, wait, she had a purpose to addressing the city. ] I was wondering, though. Considering we all have different powers, what happened to you the moment you first tried it? Or how did you even attempt to find out what you're newly capable of? I do hope you'll indulge my curiosity.

If any of you need me, I'll just be over at the gardens behind Sigyn's Welcome Hall.

I think I can use the network and call on Freya myself. I just have to hope she wants to talk to me.

Or I could stand outside and yell for her for a really long time. [Kidding.]

[ what if it worked, though :|a ]

I wonder what one can say to a god. [ maybe there's no limit. she did talk to one, after all - the haughty one who informed the city about citizens disappearing. but he wasn't the god she's supposed to be under, so perhaps it's different? ]

[Good point.]

It's not like that's something I've planned out. Might have to write it down first so I don't mess up.

But what points do you think you will raise, if ever?

That's something I'll need time to think about. I'll probably ask my friends... Richard might have some ideas.

Richard? [ pause. ] Has he been longer here than you have?

Yeah, he was here when I arrived.

We're the same, then - arriving in the city with someone we know already here to guide us.

Oh yeah? Who was here for you?

My brother, Edmund. Do you know him?

No, can't say that I do. What's he like?

He's-- well. [ how does one describe ed? ] My brother's the quiet sort - always watching, always observing. He's very smart, you know. I believe he also compiled some document about things new arrivals should learn in their stay here in the city.

Hm, he sounds like Richard. I'd like to meet him one day.

And that was a really great idea, making up a introduction for the new people. I'm impressed.

Isn't it? I'm very proud of him for thinking that.

Yeah... I have a little brother who I am proud of too. I'm sorry he's not here.

[A pause.] You know what? We've been talking all this time and I haven't even asked your name yet.
