To: Everyone
Subject: Greetings

Well, I've never been particularly good with introductions, but I suppose they are in order nonetheless.

My name is Alisaie Leveilleur, and I hail from a star called Hydaelyn. I very much hate sitting on my hands, and things here are rather far too quiet for my liking, so if anyone would like a partner to work with, please feel free to call on me. I'm not lacking in combat skills, but I'd also very much like to begin working with this.. dreamotion energy, as it were, so if anyone should like to practice with me, or be practiced on, please let me know.

I also wouldn't mind company while I clean up this treehouse.

Also, is there anywhere I might find some fresh cookies or cupcakes?

[ tifa sure isn't wrong!! alisaie might have her weapon on hand, but she sure is just walking right into this stranger's open front door for nothing more than the promise of sweets. alisaie is a simple woman, she sure can be lured by good food, cookies especially. thankfully, tifa is a very kind woman and not a serial killer! ]

Right. I suppose I ought to have introduced myself sooner..

[ their names were on the journals, but that's very easy to ignore, forget, or entirely not see, so! she smiles warmly, accepting the apron in her free hand and offering forth the bag of chocolate chips with the other. ]

Alisaie Leveilleur. Thank you for indulging me.

[starshower]

Mm, of course!

[Tifa nods, giving Alisaie a brief once-over before she's scooping up some eggs out of their cartons and laying them out in a neat little line across the counter in front of her mixing bowls.]

You're newer around here, aren't you?

[She'd certainly a remember a girl like her wandering around if she'd ever seen her! Tifa does recall spotting a few newer faces around town. Not that there's anything wrong with being new! It's important that in a place like this, they all get to know the people they're surrounded with...]

[ putting on the apron.. admittedly makes her feel a little bit silly!! but it's part of the job, isn't it? all the fancy culinarians wear them! so alisaie loops it over her head, and ties it behind her back. ]

I am, yes.

[ she says, approaching the counter to peer at the little line of eggs. ]

I've only been here a handful of weeks.

[starshower]

How're you liking it?

[A silly question, in retrospect. All of them are in a new world that has claimed to be nothing more than dreams, so it's hard to really gauge how much one likes being here rather than home... At least, that's been the case for Tifa. It's nice, but it isn't home.

Pausing for a moment, she points to one of the giant mixing bowls.]

Slide that over, and we can crack a few eggs in.

[adelphoi]

Well, it would be a lie to say I wouldn't rather be home..

[ alisaie doesn't really have the first idea about where to begin, here - she's eaten many sweets, but never prepared them!! - so she's grateful for the guidance, even if it's just asking for a bowl. one mixing bowl coming right up! alisaie slides it along the counter toward tifa, and cranes her neck to look at the eggs. ]

..but it's quite fascinating here, there's a lot to be learned from this dreamotion magic.

[ she lifts an egg. ]

How many?

[starshower]

We're starting with a couple dozen, so just four for now.

[This is going to be the biggest batch of cookies she's made since Seventh Heaven...!

Meanwhile, she's getting to work with another bowl, carefully measuring out the flour, butter, and sugar to beat together first before adding in the eggs. Thankfully, the mixer is quiet enough that they can continue their conversation without the whirring of it drowning them both out.]

Have you tried it out yet? The magic? It's different for everyone.
