So, uh, hey everyone. Julie here. [Wave!]

It looks like, um... Serah's gone, if you knew her, so that's something. But-- [She takes a breath, seemingly steeling herself against the news she just gave out. Serah was - is - her friend, and she'll miss her.]

But before she went, we were talking to Tranquility about planting some trees outside his temple. Looks like that's not the only place that could use it though, right? [The smile that comes to her face is small and crooked, a little awkward. She hadn't been to the other islands in a while, but when she did... People have been busy.]

I did some farming back home, but I don't think I can plant a whole forest by myself. Soooo... anyone want to start a project? Bet there's people here who can make seeds sprout by magic, right?

[He doesn't wanna talk about it.]

You think so?

None of the risks I've taken have worked out real well so far.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Yeah, I think so. I've met enough shitty people. Enough to know putting faith in humanity's mostly a crapshoot.

[She doesn't really look old enough to have that opinion, but she has some Stories.]

But only having yourself to count on? That gets... I dunno. It gets lonely.

[theweakhavepurpose]

Better to be lonely and alive, then surrounded by people and dead.

[ But he hesitates, back home he's currently dying alone, so it's not like he's an expert on this or anything. ]

Maybe you'll get everyone working together on a new orchard and prove me wrong.

[redwinekindofgirl]

Doesn't have to be just one or the other.

[It's a middle ground, and while Julie isn't exactly the little ray of sunshine that a lot of people mistake her for, she has to keep a positive head on about some things.]

You gonna help with it, too?

[theweakhavepurpose]

Yeah. I miss the orchard already. Let me know what you need, and I can lend a hand.
