[He still doesn't trust people, not here. Not anywhere, really. But he has to know. In a place this weird, he has to know.]

I'm just wondering... who here is not human? You don't need to tell me who you are if you don't want to, but I just want to get a sense for how many people who are not human are here.

I can't be the only one.

And a second question: is it safe for those who are not human here? I mean, I am definitely not like one of those beast things and I have no plans of attacking people. But human-dominated places tend to be somewhat unsafe for us.

And if you are some kind of mad scientist type reading this? Fuck off. We don't need people like you on our asses.

[Is that enough of a difference from his usual typing? He'll have to be careful about capitalization and punctuation so it sounds different from him, but...]

You're a shifter? Cool. You're not the only one around.

[hachitaro]

Essentially.

And really? Who else can do that?

She's done iy on the network, but just in case she doesn't want it blasted ALL over the place -

Ariadne. She's got an orchard open to the public called Serenity Garden. It's a nice, chill place.

[hachitaro]

Makes sense.

What kind of orchard? Apples? Oranges? ... What even grows here besides mushrooms?

[Private]

[ezra_of_lothal]

It's one each of a bunch of kind of trees, including orange. No apple, though, weirdly enough. I'll let Ariadne tell the story of where they came from.

More than mushrooms can grow here, but it takes some time and effort, except for, based on last year, this one month in spring. I have some native ability that help a little with that, so I garden a lot.

Sounds good to me.

I don't really have much in the way of gardening skills... I was always on the move, so I never really put down literal roots.

I had some of that going on when I was younger. I didn't take up gardening into after I get yanked out of my native time and place.

But hey, doesn't have to be gardening, but now you're chance to try some new things.

[hachitaro]

Maybe I'll try, if I find a space I can claim. Where I'm living doesn't really have a personal yard.

I guess you're right, though. There's a lot of things I can try... I'm not really going anywhere, I guess.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Well, there are the gardens at the Sanctuary in Crenshaw and Trenchwood Farm in Feed. I do some work at both, on a rotation schedule.

You're welcome to join me, even if it's just to check things out, or pitch in when you feel like it.

[hachitaro]

Maybe. I'm still not sure if I'm comfortable outing myself. If I showed up you'd know it was me.

[ezra_of_lothal]

I've been hunted for that I am before. I get it, at least a little.

The offer stands. My name's Ezra Bridger, by the way.

[hachitaro]

Thanks. I really do appreciate it. It's just... a lot to take in.

[ezra_of_lothal]

Yeah.

Take your time and do what you need to do, ok?

[hachitaro]

Yeah, I'll try. Thanks. I appreciate it, really.
