[ 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. ]

[ See, she knew this would be an appealing point that would draw someone in. Everyone has to love Evie, right. ]

.. Oh, do you want to help?

[ She sounds a little surprised. Madoka recognizes that voice, and she didn't know birds.. were into gardening..? But she won't turn down any help! ]

The bird couldn't care less about gardening. It's the princess he's interested in. In typical teenage boy fashion, he's signing up for things for all the wrong reasons.

"Yes. Yes, I do. I used to live in a meadow." Maybe he could be helpful. Probably not, but at least he could do... uh... moral support? Maybe morph a rabbit and dig some holes?

You indeed wouldn't be the first teenage boy to do so, Tobias.. Although maybe the first teenage hawk.

"A meadow?" That at least makes sense.. that is a place birds would live, after all. Although she doesn't think he was some sort of gardener there, probably. "Hmm.. Maybe you can help us recognize different flowers or plants? I'm sure you must know more than me, having lived that up close to so many."

Tobias bobs his head in a nod. "I don't know the human names for things, but I can tell you if stuff doesn't like to grow together." Probably. If they weren't dealing with alien plants, anyway.

"That's okay! I'm sure we can figure it out either way."

Besides, Madoka honestly just seems happy that she's managed to find a niche for even a bird to help out.. She'd feel rude if she had to exclude him just because he doesn't have opposable thumbs!

"Thank you so much for offering your help. It's very kind of you." (Just leave her in the illusion that it's not just to try and score with Evie.)

[bluetailedhawk]

"You're welcome. I'll be down soon." He was not going to admit that he just wanted to hang out with Evie, not ever. And he will actually help, so there's that.

He hops away from the screen, but it takes a few seconds to turn itself off.
