<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?

royalty sounds kinda outdated if you ask me.

[showmeyourwreath]

Interesting. Why is that?

[redheadcarrier]

Because now we have democracy!

[Not that Asuka's well-versed in any kind of political theory. She's just shooting her mouth off.]

[showmeyourwreath]

I can't argue the value of democracy! Some places do have liberal democracy implemented, though most monarchs that I know of take their stations very seriously and have been fair and just rulers.

[redheadcarrier]

[Flora, you are making it very difficult for Asuka to start an argument.

Which is probably for the best, considering that's what Asuka wants, but it's ticking Asuka off.]

Great for them, I guess.

[showmeyourwreath]

<sub>[It's one of her many talents. ;3c

Shh, Asuka, have cookies.]</sub>

It is. Better yet, it's great for everyone!

Hey, Asuka, I mentioned that where I come from, different dimensions are common knowledge. The thing about them though, is that they're typically very different from one other, even when they're mirrors.

Is something different happening here, though? I admit, I don't know too much about Earth, but the more I hear people talk about it, the more I wonder if there's more than one.

[redheadcarrier]

[No. >(]

I'm from a different version of Earth. Unless you were fighting Angels too.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[But they're delicious and filled with friendship and awesomeness. 8D]}

Angels? Not for a while, actually We fought an angel, but it wasn't on Earth and he didn't turn out to evil. Well, he did, but that wasn't really him. Um. It's complicated.

Why are you fighting them, though?

[redheadcarrier]

[She doesn't need friendship!]

Probably because they were monsters trying to annihilate humanity.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Boo! 8( you whore ]}

That's terrible! And very different from the paladins I know. How did you manage to fight against them?

[redheadcarrier]

[Bitch, I will cut you.]

Giant war-machines. I piloted one - one of the best!

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Cutting is tiring work. You should have cookies to replenish your strength. :D]}

That is really very impressive, Asuka! And it's a relief to hear that there are brave people keeping others safe. What can these machines do?

[redheadcarrier]

[ARGHHH!]

Oh, just about anything. Fight, mostly.

[showmeyourwreath]

_[B)c]

Anything, huh. That's pretty broad.

Where did these Angels come from, anyway?

[redheadcarrier]

I don't know - nobody knows!

[showmeyourwreath]

That must have been frightening. I'm guessing it still very much is for people.

So these machines work well, then?

[redheadcarrier]

I wasn't scared.

And of course! They worked perfectly.

[For a while, anyway.

[showmeyourwreath]

I think I would be, but I wouldn't let that stop me. It's good that people have you looking out for them. :)

That's reassuring, but it no one knows where they come from, does anyone know how many there are or how long it'll be before they'll all destroyed?

[redheadcarrier]

It doesn't matter anymore.

[showmeyourwreath]

Why not?

[redheadcarrier]

We destroyed ourselves first.

PRIVAAAATE

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Her next message doesn't come after a minute.]}

I'm really very sorry, Asuka. Truly.

so private

[redheadcarrier]

I didn't ask for your pity.

[showmeyourwreath]

_{[Must tread carefully, here.]}

It's not pity, I'm sorry if it seems that way, I just. I care.

[redheadcarrier]

Why? It's not like it actually matters to you. My world is dead and gone and that's all there is to it!
