From: Lugh
Date: Feb. 17th

[There's a muffled sound of Oscar trying to get something to do a thing, only his hands visible for a moment before he sighs and adjusts the phone so it's recording properly. He's standing in front of a large span of land, sheep and some horses visible behind him.

He sort of. Awkwardly waves at the camera before rubbing at his neck.]

Uh. Hi. Ignore the name on the top of this, it's Oscar, not Lugh, I just can't figure out how to change it...anyway! I, um, got here last month and my...temple? Is basically a small farm. There's chickens and a stock pond and horses and you can see the sheep back there...

[He gestures behind him.]

...and there's space for me to start growing things next month. I can handle it for now, but come spring and summer I...may need some help? If anyone wants to help? I don't have any shinki yet, so it's really just me here for now.

[And that's incredibly lonely. Not that he's saying anything.]

There's not a newspaper to put a help wanted ad in or anything, so...I figured this would work? I can't exactly pray for help when I'm a god, y'know?

[He chuckles, it peters out because oh god this is awkward, and then he just shrugs.]

Yeah. Anyway. I can pay people in food or wool or whatever? So. Yeah.

I don’t know much about farms, but I can lend a hand.

[ It seems a lot for him to handle on his own. ]

What were you thinking of growing?

[Oh thank god someone responded and they seem nice.]

Vegetables, though I don't know what kind yet. Strawberries maybe? Flowers in the front, but that's just for looks. I don't think there's enough room for anything like corn though.

[sing_for_me]

Those sounds good. Did you need help looking up what to plant or just trying to decide in which ones?

[ She was a little excited about it now. She hasn’t tried planting in a farm yet. ]

[repinned]

Oh I can do that on my own, my aunt taught me tricks and stuff for figuring out what'll grow in the soil on our farm. But I need help tending to the sheep and probably harvesting when it comes time for that and processing everything.

[sing_for_me]

[ That was a pleasant image. Alex smiled to herself. ]

Sure thing. I don’t know much about sheep either, but if you tell me what to do I can do it. Is there anything else you need help with?

[repinned]

Not right now!

Oh. What's your name?

[sing_for_me]

I’m Alex.

[ She does realize that it has her registered as Oshun on her phone. ]

Are you adjusting to things alright? I stay in the Western district so I’m not too far. So if there’s anything you need..

[repinned]

So far, so good. It's...really quiet out here, but that's kinda nice.

[sing_for_me]

That’s good.

[ Alex moves to the couch, bringing her legs up and getting comfortable. ]

That’s what I thought too. Is it noisier where you’re from?

[repinned]

No, I grew up on farm. I was just in a big city when I was brought here.

[#technicallytrue]

It's nice being back on a farm.

[sing_for_me]

With your aunt?

[repinned]

Yeah. And I miss her, but at least this time I don't have someone yelling at me if I take a nap in the barn.

[sing_for_me]

I’m sure she misses you too.

[ It always saddened her to aee the younger ones here. ]

True. You could take all the naps you want.

Oh. That's what that button does.

[sing_for_me]

[ Give her a minute. ]

( ‘ o ‘ ) I don’t know where you found the symbol for the hands. It’s cute though
