I dunno. All those flavor combos... is it gonna taste good?

[liliaofthevalley]

It will taste exciting.

[gardenful]

[ That makes her laugh. ]

I see. So we're exciting? I think that fits.

[liliaofthevalley]

[Looks at the general chaos of the kitchen rn.]

Would you disagree?

[gardenful]

[ Watching Fandaniel and Solomon do............. whatever that is... looks at Don... looks at Lilia. ]

Nope. I'd agree with you. Maybe a little bit too exciting.

[ But she likes it, so!! It's fine. ]

[liliaofthevalley]

Nonsense! We're just having fun!

[gardenful]

Honestly, you'd really get along with some of my friends. Too bad we can't go to the Gold Saucer.

[liliaofthevalley]

Oh? Tell me about them!

[While he just keeps adding more and more questionable ingredients to this abomination of a dish.]

[gardenful]

Well, there’s Yuffie. She’s got that youthful energy, the kind you get jealous of once you’re older.

[ Ah, to be young again, even if she’s only 22… ]

There’s Nanaki, too. He’s a sweet kid that tries to be as cool as possible. For a long time, he was using a fake voice with us, all to seem more mature. You should’ve seen the way the others reacted when they realized.

[liliaofthevalley]

A fake voice, eh? Were you aware before the others?

cw human experimentation ment

[gardenful]

I was. He's kinda like a little brother, and we were pretty close after what we went through.

[ She pauses, thinking...

Yeah, she'll tell him. ]

We're both the last of our people, so we relate to each other a lot... lab experiments and all.

[liliaofthevalley]

Pardon?

[gardenful]

Exactly what you heard. If you thought that electric company couldn't get even worse... well, they sure can.

[liliaofthevalley]

But... why? What could you possibly be that would make them interested in you?

[gardenful]

I'm a Cetra. We have a stronger connection to the planet than a human would, and we can interact with the lifestream. They wanted to know how they could use that to their advantage.

[liliaofthevalley]

To drain the world even faster?

[Hello???????????????????]

[gardenful]

More like… to find a way to keep using the planet’s energy even if it’s all dried up. To get what they want with no consequences. They’re not gonna find a loophole, though. When the planet dies, so will they.

[liliaofthevalley]

You can't use what isn't there. I would have thought even humans could grasp that notion.

I wish I could say this was all a surprise, but... it seems the same problem can be found in all different worlds.

[gardenful]

Yeah, and I'm not surprised that it can be. It's a pretty typical thing, isn't it? To keep trying to take what you don't have, just because you can.

[liliaofthevalley]

Indeed.

...

It is my sincere hope it goes better for you than it did for us.

[gardenful]

...You too, huh?

[liliaofthevalley]

Us, too.

Did you see much of that weapon I wielded, during the execution?

[gardenful]

I did. That green thing with flowers all over it.

[liliaofthevalley]

Yes, that. My Magearm.

The green stone was magestone. So something like this:

[He takes out his magic pen, the green gemstone fitted into it glittering in the light.]

Meanwhile, the flowers were made of a material called Mysterium - a metal that can be manipulated with magic. Both were plentiful in Briarland, so people really went wild with the designs.

[gardenful]

Wow... That's so cool. I can't even imagine what you could do with metal you can do anything you want with.

[ Her smile turns a little sad, though, given the topic of their conversation. ]

Does anything like that still exist back home?
