Sender: Kinomoto Sakura
To: All
Subject: Birthdays?

I hope this works. The journals we would have back home weren't like this. Showing everyone. Not unless we wrote online and it was public. I did only recently get here though. I'm Kinomoto Sakura! Sakura being my first given name, Kinomoto being my family one. I'm from Tomoeda in Japan. I'm thirteen fourteen now? I think. I'm not sure if this really counts as my birthday or not. I've never had one apart from my family and friends before. If this does count. That's a little strange to think about.

Back home, I'd have weird dreams but not quite like this exactly. And there was magic but not quite the same as this what I've seen so far at least. I'm still figuring all this out. This dream magic? Or whatever it's called. I do at least have one familiar face though! Kero-chan is with me. I mean. My stuffed toy came with me. Otherwise, I guess. I'm not sure if I should ask on how it works exactly? Dreaming? I mean. If others might be able to see my dreams here or?

[Because. Well. There's some things she is still trying to keep secret. And given her dreams are often prophetic and rather odd or dangerous sometimes. That might be important to know.]

[ Susato grins. She clearly isn't expecting anything, but she isn't about to say no, either. She knows how important keeping busy can be, and in this case, it can help, with someone so young being stuck somewhere otherworldly and unfamiliar. ]

It's not necessary... but I'd bet you are as skilled in the kitchen as I am.

[ Okay. So maybe she doesn't actually know, but she'll encourage her regardless. She indicates the Wild Harvest tag. ]

That is the restaurant where I work. You are always welcome if you are in need of a good meal, or any help in general. The staff are all very friendly. [ She might be biased. Sue her. ]

[keystaff]

I'm not sure. I don't work in a restaurant or anything. I just cook at home or school, for my friends, my dad and onii-chan. But ah, thank you.

[Sakura makes a note of the Wild Harvest tag. At the very least, she might go at one point while out exploring if she gets hungry for a snack or something. Though knowing Sakura she will still try mostly make a go of it herself as best she can. Not wanting to worry or bother others unless she has to.]

[judicialassistant]

[ Susato gives her a knowing nod. That's about as far as she'll push the issue, but she does hope she sees Sakura's face there someday. ]

That is how I started as well... just family. [ She wouldn't have imagined she'd ever have the input of strangers. Let alone somewhere so diverse. ] Have you found a place to live?

[keystaff]

I figure that's probably how most get started with cooking.

[Sakura figures at least. With someone learning to cook. Taste testing, checking out family recipes or such sort of thing. Or just generally learning some basics. Basics with recipes families make a lot, simpler ones initially before gradually figuring more complicated dishes.]

Oh! Yes. I have.
