[Video] II [sent to everyone]

... I hope I am using this device correctly.

[She's looking all... stately and contemplative on the video feed.]

I'll be blunt about this. The place in which most of us live is utterly miserable. I've seen more cheer in a graveyard.

I cannot be the only person who wishes to change this. I've some ideas, but I'd like to know anything else that people want before I start making plans.

Any offers for assistance would be greatly appreciated as well.

Well I'm not gonna do that...Wait...[His eyes go wide. That would explain the way she dresses.] Castle?! You're really a friggin' queen?! No way!

Oh yeah. I remember his garden. I'm not so good at growin' stuff. If Shiemi was here...Nevermind. Ya really never had potatoes? I thought they were a common western thing. I'm not allowed to cross the river anymore so I can't get stuff myself. [For obvious reasons and he doesn't sound too happy about it.] It'd be easy to make a list of basic stuff for people who can.

If ya wanna learn to cook I can teach ya. Do you know how to make anything? Er, I mean...Queens don't really do that do they?

... Ah, yes. I am. Please don't think on it. It's... well it is what it is, but it does not matter here. [Insisting on that point.]

Yes he said it didn't work so well -- but perhaps if it were a little better planned, and there were more of attending it, it can survive longer and to more benefit.

[She nods] Yes I can imagine... well, if you give it to Lavi, or me, I could pass it to some one who does have access?

And no, they don't. My only practical skill is sewing, but I am more then happy to learn if you can teach.

If you're sure about that...[He won't press the matter.] What should I call ya?

We need someone that knows what they're doin' in a garden to tell us where to start. It ain't warm enough for plants long here.

Okay. I'll get to work on that. It'd be easier if I knew what we had to start with.

If I can learn to cook then you can. I don't mind teachin'. Sewing's a good thing to know around here. Can you show me how?

Elizabeth will do fine. 'My lady' if titles really bother you, Lavi insists on calling me that, for instance. But it's no matter either way to me. [She smiles, trying to set him at ease. The fuss really wasn't necessary, especially when their was work to do.]

No, I remember what they said if Russia, well some of it. I think books on farming in this area will be useful, first. Clearly something grows, else there wouldn't be food. Maybe a set menu, as well? Saves you thinking too much, and makes it easier to know what to collect.

An exchange then? Alright. Seems fair enough to me.

Got it. Elizabeth-san okay too?

I can work with whatever they bring back as far as food goes. Might be hard to always find the same things in town. We should get a list if people are allergic to stuff to keep around. So no one gets left out. Lavi can read Russian so we should ask him about the farming books.

Cool!

... Yes, that's fine. Ah, your brother called me something -- but I honestly have no idea what it meant. [She assumed it was respectful at least.]

... Allergies? [If someone has allergies in her time, they just die. DX] An excellent plan, I'll organise what I can to make it easier for you.

Did he say sama after your name? He's always so formal.

Yeah I don't wanna kill anyone by makin' them eat somethin' they can't.

Thanks for the help with all this. Uh...You still want help cleanin' up in the other rooms?

Something like that. It started with 's' but it wasn't what you said?

... Yes, that would be bad. I'd rather that no happen.

[Laughs lightly] Think nothing of it -- it's my skill after all. The people have changed, but it's the same work, plus some new ones. And perhaps later, but I'd rather you concentrate on the kitchen, I imagine it's a lot of work all by itself.

'S' huh? Don't worry about it. It was just a hmmm...Term of respect I guess you could call it? It's like the ones they put before names in English.

The sooner it's up and running the better. Then other people can use it too. It's on the 5th floor of you're lookin' for it.

... Mine is rather long, the full term of address that is. "Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of Henry Tudor, by the grace of god, Queen of England, Ireland and France." And then formally in shorter address it's usually just 'Her Majesty'. Having something after my name is a novelty, really. Because my name is being said at all.

Indeed, thank-you very much, I'll drop by sometime, seen how the cleaning is going and if you need any help?

Woah! That's a mouth full! Names are really different where you come from.

Thanks. Shouldn't take too much longer to fix now. Yukio and some other people have been workin' up there too.

It's alright, no one calls me that except on formal introductions -- and no one is formal here, so it doesn't need to be remembered. Usually my close friends just call me 'my lady'. But, really, just call me as you find fitting, it does not bother me, I've been called everything.

That's excellent, I'm so very pleased at the way people help each other here, it's such a novelty to me. [No, really.]

It's your name so it still matters what ya want to be called.

People don't cooperate back where you're from?
