<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?

And it doesn't bother you at all?

_{[Flora is no stranger to creatures that eat people, but it's the first time she's talked to one, and the blase attitude is a little difficult to reconcile with the fact that, oh, they're people.]}

Do you eat anything else?

[nuclear_raven]

No. Should it?

I can eat normal things too if I want.

[showmeyourwreath]

Yes? Yes!

Why not just eat normal things all the time, then?

[nuclear_raven]

'Cause I can't always find normal things.

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh...

<sub>[Well, it's not like Flora wants her to STARVE or anything, but but but.

This is the weirdest conversation she's ever had.]</sub>

I am really sorry about that. :( That won't be a problem here, though, right?

[nuclear_raven]

Hasn't been a problem here yet.

[showmeyourwreath]

Well, that's a relief. I wouldn't want anyone to go hungry.

So, um, do you always absorb powers from the things that you eat, or was that a special case?

[nuclear_raven]

I haven't gained any other powers. Maybe I need to eat another god.

[showmeyourwreath]

I can't imagine that gods are in very high supply....
Besides, aren't you plenty powerful as it is?

[nuclear_raven]

If someone managed to catch me and put me here, apparently not.

[showmeyourwreath]

That's a fair point.

But look at it this way, it wouldn't be worth eating any god that gets caught like we were then, either, right?

[nuclear_raven]

Power plus power is more power, right?

If you have enough of it, nothing can stop you.

[showmeyourwreath]

It does, but while power is really useful, but it's not everything. Not on its ownn.

[nuclear_raven]

Well yeah, someone has to use that power.

[showmeyourwreath]

Oh, I was talking about things like intelligence--tactics, for instance. Most importantly, there's also having a good reason to use the abilities that you have. Power will only get you so far.

[nuclear_raven]

...are you calling me stupid?

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[This keeps happening to her, why. D:]}

Of course not! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. I was speaking broadly. I've known a lot of people and creatures to think that it was the end-all, be-all.

[Utsuho's one of the two dumbest residents of Gensokyo. :| ]

Isn't that how it should be? Survival of the fittest and all that, right?

[showmeyourwreath]

People are more than just instincts. Besides, even man animals use more than just raw power to get through their lives.

[nuclear_raven]

Don't they kill eachother for eachother's belongings?

[See? She learned new things since arriving here.]

"man animals" omfg typo what was wrong with me. ALSO SO SORRY FOR LATE D8

[showmeyourwreath]

Um. Animals or people?

No problem!

[nuclear_raven]

People.
