[ it's a residence-- and one belonging to either a botanist or someone who's just really terrible at taking care of their plants. visible in the background, off to the side, is a series of clay pots all in a row, each filled with exactly one sad plant. there's a wide variety of species in the collection, yet one thing between them remains constant: the black rot that's been consuming flora everywhere on the turtle. apparently someone's been doing his homework.
the speaker shifts in his seat just a tad, just enough to block out the sight behind him with the huge thing (hat??) on his head. he's an unfamiliar face on the network (who could forget an appearance like that?) but judging from the set-up he's got, he's been here quite some time. his is a pleasant, if sharp-featured face-- one made for smiles like the one plastered on right now. ]
All this work and nothing to show for it but a few sorry-looking shoots more withered than I am. [ a little sigh. ] Well! I suppose that's what I get for attempting to cure a symptom rather than its cause.
[ he leans back so he can gesture vaguely behind him, at the experiments set up. ]
I can claim a great deal of experience with plants, doctoring, and the doctoring of plants-- but I'm afraid that this illness eludes me. Surely there're a few more green-thumbed or scientifically-minded individuals among us: perhaps if we combine our efforts, we can get to the... [ and there really is no preventing the self-indulgent little smile here-- ] ...Root of the problem.

[He breathes sighs and freshens himself with a smile. Forcing something other than worry on his face? That's a feat. Good thing he has practice.] My name is Connor. I understand there's a lot going on, but it's still nice to meet you.

Well, no one can say that these aren't interesting times. I take it you're no researcher-- [ and maybe not much of a warrior either ] --so how do you get on here?

But half true.]
I'll agree to that. I help out around each sector, but I took to planting because I have a bit of experience with it back home. There's not much else to do. I'd rather be doing this than waiting for other people to do it.
video; finally back from hiatus, super sorry for the delay!
he nods emphatically, approvingly. ] I'd always found drive to be a greater contributor to a person's success than simple, raw power or knowledge.
So that's admirable indeed. If only everyone were quite so proactive.
video; no worries
Not many people think that. I don't blame them, raw power and/or knowledge can get you pretty far.
