Takeru-san and Dionysus-san's phones seem to be disconnected... Does that mean they went back?

[ She really hopes that's the case, since after that big mess.. she'd rather they be somewhere safe than in trouble. ]

I hope everyone is okay. I'm going to be spending time trying to repair the damage to the Kusanagi & Haller Children's Home, but I could use a little help.. [ She laughs somewhat resignedly, her smile not reaching her eyes all the way. She's a little tired. Yui moves the video to her ankle, which is wrapped up with bandages. The end of a crutch is clear near them. ] The doctor said I sprained it, but I kept looking for my friends after I tripped, so it's gotten bad enough that he said not to stand on it for too long. [ The camera moves back to her face, where she looks cheerier. ] I'm doing what I can from a chair, but if there's anyone that could help out, I'd appreciate it.

Oh! I was also wondering if there's anyone here who knows about gardening? I was thinking since the yard got somewhat damaged anyway, maybe we could make a vegetable garden that the kids living here could help out with. I only know the basics though, and since Dionysus-san is gone I don't really know anyone who's very good at it...

I got snacks for anyone who wants to help.

[ The camera closes in on a rather full bag from the grocery store. Yui isn't kidding about having snacks. ]

They must have been amazing. I've seen a couple of mythological creatures in Zeus's Garden but my home world didn't have any outside of legends.

I never had an o+ppo+rtunity to+ see o+ne perso+nally. There were sto+ries abo+und o+f them, ho+wever. My friend Latula had o+ne but it was still an egg, and it died so+o+n after its birth.

Oh no.. [ THat's really sad. ] I'm sorry, for your friend and the baby.

[gammavirginis]

[ It really was impossible to have a conversation about anything that happened in her past without mentioning that something died, wasn't it? She should probably not mention that it lead to Latula tragically losing her sense of smell. ]

It's alright. It happened... a lo+ng time ago+.

[ Yui's going to try to change the subject. She's not good with.. well, death. ]

Have you met any other creatures of myth?

[gammavirginis]

[ That was a little hard of a question to tackle. Who's myth? Beforus? Sgrub? Earth? Paradox space? ]

On my planet - my Sgrub planet, that is, a different o+ne fro+m Befo+rus - there was a legendary creature deep in its co+re called a Denizen. Her name was Echidna.

She was very helpful in directing me to+ finish a quest I had so+ught o+ut.

Echidna.. [ That's cute that she's named after a spiny anteater. ] That's great that she was so helpful. I've met Apollon's Pegasus and Usamaro-san-- ah, the moon rabbit.

[gammavirginis]

Mo+o+n rabbit. That so+unds rather cute.

I imagine Apo+llo+n's Pegasus was a frightening experience.

[ Hoofbeasts were some of the most powerful and strongest creatures known to exist, after all, and when you gave one a horn upon the skull, that just seemed excessive. ]

He was! Takeru-san and Tsukito-san looked after him together. They're the gods of the sea and moon.

It was at first, since I ran into it on the roof, but once Apollon was there and took me for a flight, it was much nicer. [ The unicorn situation she's not talking about. Unicorns like Yui and that is embarrassing because of what Tsukito says the reason is. ]
