[ Guess who's trying really hard to ignore all the more aggressive posts on here. ]

Um.. H-Hi everyone! In case anyone doesn't know yet, I'm M.. Madoka Kaname, nice to meet you.. [ Is she looking more nervous than usually though? For sure. Although that's not because of the mood of the last posts as much as she's dying internally at the thought the whole train can hear and see her right now. ]

M-Maybe some of you might remember that a while ago mister Stark suggested we could put plants around the train.. I thought it'd be a good idea s-since it'd be good for both the air and just for making things look nice, so.. E.. Evie and I volunteered to work on it! But there's only two of us, so..

[ She sucks in a deep breath. You can do it, Madoka. You almost said your piece! ]

We.. could use some help, if anyone wants to help. The boxes all need to be p-put together, and the plants need to be taken care of in the l.. long run too. So I thought maybe we could start a gardening club.. I was part of a gardening club back home at school, so if you don't know what to do, I.. I can help you! But if people already know a lot about plants, it'd be g-great if they could help too..!

Um, of course it's voluntary, but.. i-it'll be fun. I think. And you can work together with Evie too then, and she's really pretty and smart and nice..! [ And, you know, Madoka is also pretty cute. But she apparently has no compliments for herself to spare here.

Also, her face is starting to turn the same colour as her hair by now. ]

I.. I think that's all..! T-Thank you so much for listening to me and I'm sorry for taking up your time-- ouch!

[ She was bowing to end the message politely, but instead just accidentally bumped her head in the process.

She's trying. ]

[This one Nita's more than happy to respond to. ~~Hello excuse not to mute the ICPs by dire means!~~ The fact that she recognizes Madoka helps.]

Of course! I've got a lot of practice growing plants.

[And then the girl hits herself.]

Oh no! Are you alright there?

I'm okay..!

[ That answer comes almost a little too quickly. And Madoka is definitely rubbing the spot where she hit her head. But she'll be fine! No focusing on her allowed, time to quickly return to the more important matter..! ]

D.. Do you really have practice with that though? That's so good to hear..! Since we're all from different places, I bet we could have a lot of knowledge a-- about plants when we're all together.

[Nita eyes her carefully.]

Make sure to get some ice or something for that, okay? And maybe lie down, if it keeps feeling sore.

[These are life lessons from someone who's been punched many a time in the past.]

But yeah, my dad's a florist, so we grow all sorts of plants at home.

[And the rest of Madoka's assurance is the bright spot they all need! Have another reassuring smile, Mads.]

I'll keep an ear out on the Network for meet-up plans and so on, okay?

[Though she's still not sure what's the deal with 'the book in the garden car'...]

[ Thank you, Nita, that's exactly the kind of advice Madoka needs. Otherwise she's just never going to take care of herself.. So she just gives a small nod at Nita's advice, seeming to listen to it intently. ]

Okay, thank you. [ For both that and keeping an ear out. ] But.. um, I just want to say it's so cool that your father is a florist. He must be a really amazing person.

[Nita is the Big Sis in her family, it comes naturally~

Nita smiles again fondly.]

Yeah, he is. He never gives himself enough credit, though.

[And it is a small business. In some ways, that might not be 'enough' for people, but Nita's come to appreciate all the ways it does matter.]

Really..? That's so sad..

[ Wow, Madoka. Doesn't that sound like someone else you know? A certain pigtailed pink-haired girl?? ]

Maybe the train will happen to stop in your world one day..! I.. If that's the case, I'll make sure to tell him how amazing he is. His flowers must all be so pretty!

That's what friends and family are for, though; we're there for each other, so we can help each other when our insecurities get the better of us.

[Nita's eyes widen a little at the idea of this train stopping at her Earth. Or worse(?), the Crossings!]

That'd be something, I'll tell you that. But yeah, you should see his shop! It's small, but cozy, and there's more than enough room for the flowers.

[ Aw, Nita.. That's truly a nice sentiment. Madoka can't help but think the same thing. (Although she still lets her own insecurities rule her all the same, but shh, she's trying!) ]

Ah, I always thought small shops like that are kind of nice.. They feel all homely compared to department stores or other big stores, right?

[Nita nods.]

Yeah! For those who don't like crowds, the smaller specialty shops are perfect.

[ She nods with a smile, seeming to agree. ]

Um, thank you very much though for offering to help! I'll let you know when we get started, okay..?

Okay.

Take care, Madoka! I'll see you around.

[That's a subtle reminder about the ice and a reassurance in one, right there!]

[ Oh Nita. What would the poor clumsy people of this train do without you.. ]

I-- I will!
