Voice: Un: Diggs

[It had been nearly a week, and Oscar was becoming worried.

Lessons he has learned on the other side of the Dream had taught him that sitting in the worry and letting it overcome him did no one any good-- least of all himself. Knowing this, Oscar tentatively turned on the Audio function of his new device and, with an obvious case of awkward nerves, started talking.]

Um... Hi.

I'm Oscar Pine and... I'm sure some of you know me already, but some of you don't and that's okay.

There was just a couple of things I wanted to say.

First: I know that things have been stressful lately and that we all need something to do, so I'm willing to teach people how to garden if they want a hobby that lasts a little longer than baking all the time. I'm a farmhand... And I did the baking thing. Growing and taking care of your own vegetables helps a little more, for a longer time.

And-- you can share your extra zucchini with your friends and loved ones. Isn't that cool?

I managed to bring along some seeds to get started. Just... Contact me if you're interested.

... and thanks, Mako, for the idea.

Second: is anyone else having trouble sleeping since they got here? I know being nervous makes sleeping hard, but this feels different. Anyone have any ideas about why this is happening, or how to help?

Last: ... I don't know about everyone else, but there's still some people I'm looking for that haven't come ashore yet. Can people just...chime in to let everyone know that they're safe? And let us know if there's anyone else you're looking for?

Maybe we can make everything a little easier if we work together. I don't know...

I'm just kinda worried, and some of you all probably are too.

[The subject of powers and their recent changes gave Oscar a moment's pause while he recalled his own experiences since washing ashore in Trench. As much as the depths of magic from Remnant did not feel the same.... he felt something different.]

I don't fully know what mine are like, yet. [He confessed, offering a sheepish grin.] All I know is that it's not the same as it was. But... maybe this world will give us a chance to learn magic from each other?

The little magic there is in Remnant isn't so much spells as... making things happen on your will. Since we're stepping forward, I want to try to do it a little differently. Whatever that looks like.

...So, don't feel like you've gotta do everything magical, okay? We'll put our heads together, make a plan, and maybe...

Maybe we'll make something new.

Ah, well..

[ For a moment Ange stops, looking strangely a bit awkward. It's because there's so much she could say to that, and perhaps a lot she kind of wants to say to that, but at the same time it all feels so ridiculous. So dumb.

And when has Ange ever been good about opening up? Maybe better than she used to be, but this still feels like a little too much.

So she swallows all her words right back up, instead just nodding, trying to seem a little more calm again as she does so. ]

.. right. I guess we'll just have to see what we can do.

[Oscar doesn't push.

Although they were housemates at this juncture, Oscar knew precious little about Ange besides how her magic consisted of golden butterflies and that she and Ruby made a fantastic pair. There was a lot of steps they needed to tread together... but, that would take time.

If nothing else, he had plenty of time.]

We will.

[He spoke confidently, and offered her a smile.]

Thanks for all your help, Ange. I really appreciate it.
