[Shiny New Handheld Device] [Video]

[Klaus appears on screen, looking decidedly frazzled. He's in his gardening apron, his hair is disheveled holding a spade. Behind him is the greenhouse which is a veritable wall of, well, green. And brightly coloured flowers.]

My word, has anyone else experienced a sudden surge of plant life? These should not be as far along as they are - half these seeds I only just planted a week ago.

There is quite an abundance of... well, everything, so I would be delighted to give away any potted plants to anyone interested. Also - [and here he gives a bewildered sidelong glance to his left] - zucchini. I'm honestly not sure how as I never planted any, but there is a mountain of zucchini if you like that sort of thing.

Free food wouldn't go amiss at the shelter.

[ She's doing all the books now, so yeah. Opportunity! ]

Then I shall see to it the bulk of the zucchini makes it there promptly.

As well as food that is anything but zucchini.

Thank you! We appreciate it.

I take it you like gardening?

[ This was the Klaus that took over the hotel. She was curious, even though she was still grieving Anton's disappearance. ]

Ah, very much so. It has always been a passion of mine.

Do you like it as well?

[commandandcontrol]

I take care of a couple Bonsai. Not super fond of being outside in the dirt, personally.

[purered]

No, not many are.

Are there any hobbies you're able to pursue here?

[commandandcontrol]

Reading is complicated and video games are right out.

I'm learning some Kedanese though, so that should help with the latter.

[purered]

My butler Gilbert and a few of my compatriots were avid fans of... I believe RPGs? They certainly seemed interesting. Did you play those sort of games at home?

...former, not latter

[commandandcontrol]

I do!

Those and tactics games. Macro organization, that kind of thing.

[ And shippy visual novels... ]

You were well off back home too?

[purered]

Those sound very interesting. Should I ever return home, I'll have to look into those genres.

[God do not let him ever find out about VNs he would be unbearable.]

I was. I'm the youngest son of the Von Reinherz family.

[commandandcontrol]

I'm not familiar with it, but that doesn't surprise me. There don't seem to be a lot of Proper Nouns that my world shares with other people's here, even there are other similarities.

I'm the daughter of the emperor of Yellow Comet. The only child, actually.

[ She'd sometimes wondered what having a sibling would be like, but alas, it wasn't meant to be. ]

[purered]

Regrettably, I do not know what Yellow Comet is. Are you perhaps from a time when space travel is more common?

[commandandcontrol]

More common than in Keeliai? Certainly.

But we haven't been beyond the solar system thus far. Most of the space program is just getting satellites in orbit, and unfortunately, Orange Star has most everyone beat in that regard.
