<sub>[The device is easy enough to use. It's not unlike the stuff from back home, so it doesn't take her long to get comfortable with it. The post goes up without a hitch.

She'd easily prefer video--this feels a little impersonal, but it's better this way for now. She's still not quite well.]</sub>

Hello, everyone. My name is Flora. I'm really very sorry if this message isn't...well, it's normally supposed to be, I guess. I'm a little out of it. I can't say I've had to make introductions like this before, but it's nice to meet you, nonetheless. :) This is still just a lot to take in, and what's happened to the Earth itself. I still can't believe it. This planet was once so beautiful.

I don't expect much, but there's no harm in asking. If anyone's heard of or met one of the Winx, would you please let me know? I would very much appreciate it.

Lastly, I have a question for anyone willing to answer it. Thank you, in advance.

Do you believe in fairies?

I'm glad to be your first, then!

We have all of those, yes! Before I got here, I'd never seen ladybugs so tiny before, they're much larger back home and can be ridden. They're such sweetie bugs. :)

Woah. I've never seen bugs that size around ever. You have to show me pictures of them, that'll be quite a sight.

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh, I'd love to! It's a shame they aren't around. They're really smart, docile and helpful, too, especially when you give them treats. ;) We have a lot of really big bugs back home, but that's fine, there are a lot of big flowers and plants for them to call home, it all works out. :)

It sounds like they work as pets too. How do you tame them in order to allow them to be ridden and not become pests? I can't imagine how big of a problem infestations are...

[showmeyourwreath]

They make for adorable pets too, you're right! Some people keep their own. More of them just go about their own business, but will help anyone out if they need it. They're kind of like everyone's pets and friends, in way.

A lot of the insects are naturally pretty friendly, or not very obtrusive. There are definitely ones to stay away from, but for the pests, we use their natural predators, who're pretty big themselves, often. They're much safer than fire, not a danger to the environment like pesticides, and they're better controlled. There's no worry over them getting out of hand, in fact, it's probably better that they do and indulge themselves! They eat more bugs, that way.

They're also frequently very cuddly. :)

Well Miss Flora, thank you and thank you again for all of that information. I'm always wanting to hear about how other people's worlds are like, even aliens. I can't even believe all the differences they have.

And I'm sure maybe one day we'll discover your kind of ladybug here!

[showmeyourwreath]

Not at problem! I love my home, it's absolutely beautiful there and a perfect place to grow up. All of my friends are from different planets, too. And we all went to school on another planet, still, so there are a few other things I know about those ones, as well. Some of them don't look too differently from Earth in some ways, at first glance.

_{[Well, how it used to look, anyway.]}
