[There's a familiar young woman stalking the streets of Luceti today, newly returned from her mallynapping a week ago. But those who know her will quickly realize that something is...off.

There are the physical differences, for one. She's slightly taller, wears her hair longer, and carries herself a little tighter, like a coiled snake ready to strike as needed. Her expression is intense and wary, not cheerful like it usually is. And she carries a katana with her -- a strange choice, considering her trademark weapon as a Hero (and the fact that she never walked around armed in Luceti).

Ah...Heroes and HeroTV. That's where things get interesting with this one. She remembers a certain event from her world rather differently from before, and as a result she's a girl with a mission now. Her purpose in Luceti is to rest a bit from her earlier ordeals and to learn enough to get her where she needs to go; she doesn't intend to stay any longer than she has to. After all, there's nothing that anchors her here aside from unfortunate circumstances. Friends? Don't be ridiculous -- she lost all her friends four years ago. It's the whole reason she's even stuck here in the first place.]


((OOC: Replies to come from lightningbride! You can find Bride-Lin practically anywhere in Luceti during the daytime as she scopes out the village and tries to gather information. Evening is reserved for other ridiculousness...))

[A heavy sigh. Time for a different -- and probably more useless -- question.]

So what kind of garden do you have here?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[Now this is a question she can actually answer.]

Oh, I have a flower garden! And I look after Stella's garden, too. It's a vegetable garden.

[lightningbride]

A vegetable garden, huh. [She's about to ask whether Luceti grows its own food, but quickly stops herself. She doubts this woman would know that.] What kind of vegetables do you grow?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Oh, I'm growing some berries and carrots and potatoes and lettuce and turnips and bok choy and-- [She will seriously keep going if you let her.]

[Action]

[lightningbride]

[And Pao-Lin does, until it becomes clear that the woman just isn't going to stop.]

That's a lot of vegetables. Do you share with the rest of the village, too?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

[She nods.] I will when they've all grown up. This is my first time growing vegetables in Luceti, so I haven't been able to share them before.

[Action]

[lightningbride]

I see. Does anybody else grow vegetables like you do, then?

[Action]

[lostinmyway]

Hmm.... I think so. [She's certainly seen a few vegetable gardens on her rambles.]

I wonder whose they are.
