[Makie's general thoughts on Luceti, once she gets used to the place (somewhat), are to make sure she earns her keep but, in general, fade into the background as much as possible. She's currently residing at the castle that is house 44, though she still hasn't met all the residents there. Makie is notorious for keeping to herself.

That doesn't mean she won't be seen all over town in the next few days, however, shamisen in hand. Errands, mainly. She has to return to Community Building #1 in the hopes that the journal she's supposed to have got left behind in Alexei's, uh... bathroom... and thank him for the courtesy he showed when she arrived. But on the ground floor, you see, there is an elevator, and...

...yeah, she doesn't really know what that is. After a minute or so of peering at it in confusion, she'll take the stairs.

Probably.

Other places she visits are the memory garden, the tea house, Seventh Heaven (to take up duties as a dishwasher, so mainly out of sight of the customers), and up to the farmlands just for the sake of exploration.

Eventually, she also visits the battledome, because she's been told about it and she is curious. But she likely won't stay long, because technology is intimidating, so after peering with a half-glazed expression at various controls and such, she leaves again, unless otherwise distracted. Such a place is no doubt for you magical types or...something.]

The spirits...? Those are the filials, correct?

[She'd read the writeup of them; they were still confusing, but Nala appealed.]

That's right. The filial spirits. I believe Faeren is the one that grows things.

[He smiles and holds up a hand, a few sparks dancing between his fingers]

Tsinku is the one I've interacted with most.

[She starts just a little at the sparks, not expecting that. But she's more curious than disturbed.]

In my world, we don't have things like this. No magic or spirits... none that we see before us.

Do they teach anyone?

[They fade and Luke nods at that]

My world's quite different. We don't have spirits, but we do have things you might equate to magic. And technology that's...well...frankly it would probably seem magic to most people here.

And as for the spirits, they seem to teach anyone who'll listen. Though the fire spirit seems less than friendly and the light spirit is distant.

[She smiles ruefully.] The technology here seems quite magical to me.

...perhaps I can talk to them one day. [She likes the sound of the healing spirit.]

All it takes is an open mind.

[Idly, he pats Hamal's shaggy head]

Particularly Nala, for those with a kind heart.

...I'll be sure to keep that in mind, then.

[She wonders if she qualifies.]

[Luke nods succinctly.]

Outside of Hamal and the other animals.

[He gestures]

There's an apple orchard, and the fields, and...honestly that's about it.

What sort of vegetables in the fields?

Cucumber, pumpkin, corn, tomato, carrot, and a few other things. Cabbages too. I was thinking of trying onions, and perhaps garlic as well but that's a bit ambitious.

That's a wide variety. [Some of those are familiar. Others, not so much-- to be honest, she's really only got some rudimentary experience with rice and sweet potato, but...harvest is comparatively simple, at least.]

I'd be happy to help out with any of it if you need an extra hand. Though I'm no farmer, really.

I'd be more than happy for the help. It's not my primary occupation either, but it's necessary and good for the community. I'm up here most afternoons myself, and around harvest time it'll be a bit busier. That's when I'd need the most help, but day to day things like watering and checking for insects would be really helpful.

Then I'll drop by regularly in the late afternoon, if you like-- I'm on duty at Seventh Heaven before that. Or if you need an extra pair of hands at any other time, you could contact me through... the journals. [Though she's not so familiar with those, but Makie figures she may as well try.]

That sounds perfect, thank you. In the early evening I tend to head towards the Clinic as I man that during the evening. If you're injured, we've got one fully staffed not far from the plaza.

Oh, I've seen that clinic... I'll be sure to keep that in mind. Thank you.

[She gives a small bow.] In any event, I don't want to delay you too much longer. Thank you for the tour, Mr Skywalker.
