Disciple has a one year anniversary.

[feralfanatic]

[A new non-filtered video hits the network. In it is a older oliveblooded troll many will recognize. She is sitting cross-legged on some sort of large stuffed chair in the shape of a cat. Unlike many of her public postings this one appears to be actually intentional. She has certainly come a long way in understanding the communications technology of this place. She takes a sip from a steaming teacup and addresses the camera.]

One year. It is a human measurement of time. The time it takes the human planet, Earth, to complete one full orbital revolution around its parent star.

[A pause as she takes another sip of tea.]

It seems my starfish communicator has let me know that it was just over one human year ago that I first arrived here in Vatheon. It is a rather arbitrary distinction for one of my race, as we do not share the same measurement of time. One of our own orbital sweeps lasts as long as 26 human months. Regardless, it has still got me thinking about all my time spent here.

This place has given me many things. The chance to once again have that which I had lost. A chance to meet those that I would not otherwise have been able to. It has given me a chance to forgive, both myself and others. I have had opportunities here that I would not have even dreamt of back home. That is not to say that it has been completely enjoyable. This place certainly has a way of sticking a knife into your chest and then slowly turning it.

Well, that is enough of my ramblings. To those of you I know, I look forward to another human year together. To those that I do not know, let us change that.

[Disciple raises her teacup in salute, smiles one last time into the camera, and the feed cuts.]

Chocolate with chocolate chips? [You might have just blown her mind.]

[savemegermany]

[ he nods. ] Si, si. Have you never had double chocolate cookies before?

video

[feralfanatic]

No... No, I have not. It sounds magical.

[savemegermany]

Ve, They're amazing~ I'll make you plenty so you can have as many as you like~

video

[feralfanatic]

Yes, this is an agreeable plan. I will have to share some, just so I do not overdose on the sugar.

video

[savemegermany]

I can always make more if you need more for sharing~

video

[feralfanatic]

That sounds too good to be true. Thank you.

video

[savemegermany]

Any time~ I'm happy to make you all the cookies you want~

video

[feralfanatic]

Maybe I will have you bring some of those double chocolate cookies to the party, then. If you would like, that is.

video

[savemegermany]

I'd be happy to!

[feralfanatic]

Wonderful! I am having Nepeta come help me work on my hive, getting it into shape for the party, then hopefully we should have it sometime in the next week or so, if the scientists and curses behave.

Re: video

[savemegermany]

I'll look forward to it! It'll be lots of fun. Would you like other food too? Muffins? Pasta? Bread?

Re: video

[feralfanatic]

I will have a better Idea closer to the party, but I can imagine anything you would want to bring would certainly be appreciated. I plan on inviting a fair amount of people to this, and hiveguests are always hungry.

[Disciple laughs.]

[savemegermany]

[ He's going to make copious amounts of food. ]

I'll make plenty just in case~

video

[feralfanatic]

I will have to find some way to thank you. It is very appreciated, I have not really hosted a party before, it should be an interesting experience.

video

[savemegermany]

You don't need to! Friends help each other out~~~

I'm sure you'll do great~

video

[feralfanatic]

True enough, but I would feel bad if I did not find some way to show my thanks, especially with the quantities you might end up making for the party.

[She is still a little new to the concept of human friends, you'll have to excuse her.]

video

[savemegermany]

I don't mind at all, so don't worry about it. We'll help each other out when need be~

video

[feralfanatic]

I find it necessary to say that while I have not had a lot of interactions with aliens, talking with you has...

[Disciple stops, a confused look suddenly crossing her features. No it couldn't be, could it?]

Have we... actually even introduced ourselves to each other?

video

[savemegermany]

... Ve, I don't think we have. My name's Italy~

video

[feralfanatic]

I... am so sorry. We just hit it off so well, I guess we forgot to do introductions.

[Disciple laughs, a little awkwardly.]

It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance Italy. My name is Disciple, or the Disciple if you prefer. It is my title.

[Now where had she heard the name Italy before? Did she read that in one of her many books somewhere? Oh well, it was not coming to her...]

video

[savemegermany]

No, no, it's my fault. I didn't even think of it~

[ he smiles and laughs anyway. ]

It's nice to know your name now! We'll be great friends~!

video

[feralfanatic]

Yes! Good! Friends! I look forward to all our future interactions. Especially looking forward to see what the two of us can whip up in the kitchen.

video

[savemegermany]

Me too! It'll be fun, I can't wait~~

video

[feralfanatic]

Either can I. For now I shall go and try to rope some others into helping me. I will definitely be in touch once I get more details of this thing figured out. Maybe we can get together before the party to having a little baking excursion to make plans for it?
