-- there? I think that's it! Um. I'm Colette! For those that are newer and I haven't met yet. I just wanted to say thank you to everyone that have helped me so far!

[Colette by now has had a little more practice at least. Enough that it....is actually properly showing her this time and not a ridiculous number of dogs. She focuses the camera onto her, sitting on her bed at the inn with a notebook at her lap. In it is a picture of a huge tree, and two figures.]

I have only been here a few weeks. So a lot I'm still adjusting to, but. We have such an opportunity here! To share our knowledge and everything. Stories and celebrations and all sorts, from so many different places. I guess the main one I remember from home were about the Goddess Martel and Mithos the Hero.

"Once upon a time, there existed a giant tree that was the source of mana. A war, however, caused this tree to wither away, and a hero's life was sacrificed in order to take its place. Grieving over the loss, the goddess disappeared unto the heavens. The goddess left the angels with this edict: ‘You must wake me, for if I should sleep, the world shall be destroyed.’ The angels bore the Chosen One, who headed towards the tower that reached up unto the heavens. And that marked the beginning of the regeneration of the world."

[She focuses the phone more at the notebook for a moment. Giving everyone a better view of her attempt to recreate the story she recalls so well. So vividly from her classes, from her time at the Church back home.]

I guess, that's why it's so amazing to me, here. Sylvarant was in decline. The crops dying. The people suffering. Here, I figured I can make things grow! Well, and the light? But that's something I guess I wish I'd been able to do to help, back home. I know I did what I could to help, as the Chosen, but still. For all that it's a lot to adjust to, especially with being able to eat, feel and sleep and talk again, and not having my wings, this place really is amazing. Obviously I'm still new with these new abilities. I'm still learning, practicing and figuring them and this place out. But I'm sure I'll get there! I just need to work at it more!

[And she is getting a little sidetracked from her initial intent here. Just a tad. She shakes her head, before tilting it some, a small smile at her lips even as she seems rather curious and excited after raising her hand to one of the little pot plants in the room and just barely noticeably makes the plant grow a tiny bit in demonstration if one really pays attention.]

But what about everyone else? What about the stories from your homes? How are you all adjusting here?

[A whine can be heard, and she glances to the side, murmuring something about feeding her familiar soon, as then an oversized.....white and green dog....? appears in the screen's view and licks at Colette's cheek, causing her to giggle as she reaches to stop the feed.]

[It's her first attempt using this thing publicly? Sort of? She somehow manages. Though what results might be debatable in her success given most of what is seen is a mass of dogs.....a lot of dogs..so many ears and tails and tongues...enough that they are all but covering her accommodations. Those who pay attention may or may not notice the slight Colette-shaped hole indented in the wall from earlier when she tripped. It's fine, she's fine! Really! Though. She has decidedly gone from loving suddenly having so many dogs to realizing rather quickly that this is......not the ideal....

How is she supposed to give them all that love and attention and cuddles and pets and play with them all when there's so many?! How does she come up with this many names?! Colette panics, and. Well. She was told this thing, this....phone? lets her talk to everyone at once. Maybe someone else might like a dog? A pet? This was too many! As sad as that is to admit. For Colette who Adores dogs and all.]

I can't......there's too many.....?!

[.....Help....!!!]

Ah, I hope this is working? I haven't used this sort of thing before. Assuming this is working, I'm Colette! I only recently got here and all. I just -- everything I touch is turning into puppies and now there's too many dogs! And I never thought there was such a thing as too many dogs! But I can't take care of this many! Please?
