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

Would you disagree?

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-05 06:26 am (UTC)(link)
[ 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: ([Smile] working diligently.)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-05 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
Nonsense! We're just having fun!
gardenful: (117)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-05 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
Honestly, you'd really get along with some of my friends. Too bad we can't go to the Gold Saucer.
liliaofthevalley: ([Smile] millennium of homesickness)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-05 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? Tell me about them!

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

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-06 12:08 am (UTC)(link)
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: ([Smirk] Tears; tears)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-06 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
A fake voice, eh? Were you aware before the others?
gardenful: (26)

cw human experimentation ment

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-06 02:28 am (UTC)(link)
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.
gardenful: (93)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-06 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly what you heard. If you thought that electric company couldn't get even worse... well, they sure can.
liliaofthevalley: ([Hmph] he has ceased to ask)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-06 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
But... why? What could you possibly be that would make them interested in you?
gardenful: (30)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-06 06:19 am (UTC)(link)
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: ([Hmph] why but merely keeps)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-06 06:39 am (UTC)(link)
To drain the world even faster?

[Hello???????????????????]
gardenful: (60)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-06 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
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: ([Neutral] the shape of fingers)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-06 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
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: (23)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-07 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
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: ([Neutral] Adieu; adieu)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-07 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Indeed.

...

It is my sincere hope it goes better for you than it did for us.
gardenful: (60)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-07 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
...You too, huh?
liliaofthevalley: ([Smile] You'll notice it)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-07 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Us, too.

Did you see much of that weapon I wielded, during the execution?
gardenful: (02)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-07 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
I did. That green thing with flowers all over it.
liliaofthevalley: ([Soft] longing firmly)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-07 05:55 am (UTC)(link)
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: (30)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-07 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
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?
liliaofthevalley: ([Neutral] Adieu; adieu)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-07 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
...No. Not anymore.

A long, long time ago, humans discovered the wealth of materials available in our lands. And so, despite our every attempt to prevent it, they came and took the land for themselves.
gardenful: (27)

[personal profile] gardenful 2025-09-07 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
I’m sorry.

[ She bows her head, hands clasped together. ]

To have lost your home like that… I can’t even imagine.
liliaofthevalley: ([Soft] longing firmly)

[personal profile] liliaofthevalley 2025-09-07 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Not just our home. Our queen and her consort, as well.

It was a complete and utter loss. [And, with a soft laugh:] I may have formerly acted as general, but officially, I have no titles. There is no mention of any "Lilia Vanrouge" in my nation's textbooks, either.

But it's likely for the best. Slowly but surely, humans and fae are learning to exist in the same lands together. So, at the very least, our world isn't under as much a threat as yours.

[Humans come and go so quickly... so long as the fae don't mention it, their human counterparts have no knowledge of the war their kind once waged against their current neighbors.

If it means keeping that peace, Lilia is content with being forgotten by history.
