In-Character
Read the following prompt:
The rhythmic lull of hoofbeats are a marching drum to the small group of pioneers and variety of folk you have found yourself amongst, packed into a wobbling wagon. The rolling plains of the Southern Reach and a clear sky stretch out all around you, the buzz of excited chatter a dull wash in your ears as your mind strays to your former life and what has led you here to new lands.
“Nervous?”
You blink, returning to the present moment. A kindly older woman sat near you is smiling warmly with a crinkle to her eyes.
“I can tell it’s your first time. Still remember mine,” she flashes a grin and leans in.
“Tell me my dear, why have you come to the Reach?”
~*~
"Nervous? Who wouldn't be?" Says Bridget, adjusting her spectacles with shaking hands. "I've never been a step outside Mariza's walls before... But I suppose everyone leaves the nest at some point. As for why I've come? I've journeyed here to study. I'm a researcher, ma'am. Or at least, I hope to be. My father had a greenhouse back in Marzia, you see. It was filled with all sorts of things, and I loved caring for the plants more than anything. Our garden even attracted a Flower Warden once or twice! Such gentle and majestic creatures... It really loved disguising itself with the peony petals. My father always said I had the makings of a divine gardener, just like my mother did. She was a Plantkeeper, and the animals adored her. We used to watch the Nightdancers put on their little shows over the pond when she was alive...
In any case, I absorbed the contents of the family library as quickly as I could. The encyclopedias and horticulture guides were my friends in those days... Better friends than my schoolmates, anyway. They always said I tended to... Ramble... Oh."
Her freckled face flushes as she realizes how far from her point she's gotten, and she clears her throat.
In any case, I'm on my way to The Southern Reach to study the flora there. I've heard a lot of the area is still unexplored, so this is a once in a lifetime opportunity! Father was reluctant to let me go, but he saw things my way eventually. Bless him... He worries about me so much. I promised to send a letter as soon as I got to The Spire. Perhaps I'll press some flowers for him too. He does love that."
