Arrival.

[The bus pulls up, but its rider doesn't step off to join the valley community. He floats, simply drifting a few feet away as the doors shut behind him and the bus roars off.]

[Well. That hadn't been so bad. Nerve-wracking, prepared for betrayal at any second, ready to crush the bus and its occupants had its destination been even slightly other than promised... but so far, all had proceeded according to the plan he'd been given.]

[...Perhaps the boy's example had not been unique. Perhaps not every human is treacherous, traitorous, self-centered, and all too eager to enslave those they considered lessers.]

[Just most of them.]

[Mewtwo splays one hand, and in a flare of psychic light, his tablet rises to hover above it. There is supposed to be a map...]


Homecoming.

[This farm is not as concealed as he would like. Though it resides within the forest, it is not far enough in for true solitude, and the path that leads to it is a beacon that any could follow. Mewtwo would have to rely on hoping no one came exploring -- or perhaps more serious concerns later.]

[For now, he regards his greenhouse from a position several feet above it. A broken building, but not past salvaging. In fact -- he glances over his shoulder, eyes shining with power, and not far away a small tree rips itself from the ground. Telekinetic force strips off the branches, then splits the wood into planks, which Mewtwo sends hurtling towards the greenhouse with a wave of his hand.]

[Repairing this should be no mean feat.]


Text.

Humankind: I offer you a transaction, by which you shall be judged. Your greenhouses are battered and broken; I will repair them, for a price. That price shall be greater should you require I bring materials. Extend your acceptance of these terms through this device.

[So are they warned, and so shall he test them. Will they deal fairly, or with duplicity and malice?]

[ Bolormaa is sitting by the river in Cindersap Forest today, her jPad sitting in front of her as she tries to record a professional video. There's a soft yellow fox with multiple tails stretching on her, sometimes twitching. There's also a doll by her side - the only one she'd brought with her. But it's petting the fox - the Carbuncle! ]

Hello! And, um, if we have not met before, well met. My name is Bolormaa Sagahl, and I wish to open up a library here. One which holds books and stories from all of us - to not be forgotten...

But that is not what I wish to talk about today. I have been studying the art of crafting Carbuncle - ah, a magicked creature from my land. I have also been looking into making mechanical helpers known as mammets... and I think I've found a solution for each of my issues.

Using, um, special shards of crystal, I can activate mammets. And then, they power the Carbuncle within... though they are not as cute and cuddly as mine, this allows Carbuncle to be kept and used by those who do not have an innate way to manipulate their aether. I do not know if they can battle, however - I hope not to need to find out...

[ The special shards of crystal? Flakes from her scales, but Bolormaa won't admit that right now. That she's been experimenting with fragments of Hydaelyn. ]

The goods needed to craft them, other then their core, can be... um, found around. If any of you desire a mammet, please get in contact with me - payment shall change depending on what exactly you desire crafted. Or if you simply wish to talk!

[ Bolormaa reaches over to end the video, before a thought crosses her mind - and she tries to look serious again. ]

...Ah. Before I forget - if there are any who are familiar with a conflict between Lady Cosmos and Chaos - or simply the repeating time known as Cycles - I would like to be in contact with you. I would also wish to speak with any Eorzeans I have not - or any who may be familiar with the term Moogle, Chocobo, or the such...

Thank you.

[ And that's the end! For those seeking her in-person, she's remaining by the river for quite a while - writing and petting her Carbuncle. ]

1. Welcome to the Farm

For all that I was talking about settling down and growing some crops, I am not entirely certain I meant it.

[Chen regards the quaint farm, with its open fields and run-down greenhouse, from the fence gate -- one hand on his hip, the other still supporting the long staff he has slung over one shoulder, using its length as a lever to keep his massive keg upright.]

[Honestly, at his size, girth, and species, he can't help but stand out as something out of the ordinary.]

[At last he ventures on forward, taking the first step onto his new home.]


...Li Li would laugh at me, and then be bored. [That sentiment certainly brings a smile to his face.]

2. In Starhue Valley, Bear Welcome You!

[In a situation like this, there is only one thing to do: greet the neighbors!]

[So Chen sets out on a circuit around his farm and winding his way to every point of interest around, looking for people to say hello to. Out on the road? He's pacing his way over with a friendly hello. At home? Someone's knocking on your door! Out in your field hard at work? He's cheerfully vaulting the fence to approach.]

[...honestly that last one might be a little impressive.]

[At this point, people have probably seen a few miqo'te by now. At first, Irhya keeps her face hidden, but seems to have a change of heart shortly thereafter, brushing some hair out of her face as she adjusts the frame. For coming from a world that is so technologically limited in the face of -- this... she sure has adapted quickly.

There is something apprehensive about the way her eyes dart back and forth, about the initial pause before she starts speaking, but it's easily forgettable once she finds her stride.]


Let me just preface this by saying that where I'm from, animal husbandry is forbidden. Fear of upsetting the forest and all that... though frankly I've always thought the Elementals need to stop being such temperamental little shites in the first place. Anyway, dairy is understandably scarce because of it, and imports are scarce as well as prohibitively expensive, so most of the populace lives on grown produce and wild game.

Which brings me to my problem. I have no interest in playing around in the dirt, but I suppose raising animals doesn't sound all that bad. Especially when I, personally, have a lot more use for wool and milk than most things that come from plants. But I also don't know the first damn thing about it.

[After she confesses, the top half of a sheep becomes visible at the bottom of the frame, and she leans down a little to stroke it. There also seems to be something black and furry skulking about on a hay bale behind her; a cat, most likely.]

So! I normally don't do this, but I would like to propose a trade. If there's anyone willing to help me with my little problem -- showing me the basics, hanging around to lend a hand, whatever works -- I can probably craft a few things in return. Tools, clothing, medicines... actually, it's probably easier just to pitch what you need from me and I'll decide case-by-case. I'm not yet familiar with what kinds of materials might be available here, but I think we can make something work out, right?

Just one rule: if you end up getting indecisive on me, I'm defaulting to cooking.

[She makes as if to end the recording, but hesitates, struck with a second thought.]

Oh, and one more thing. If anyone here happens to be a native to Eorzea, I have a few questions for you.
