Good afternoon. If I may have a moment of everyone's time, please.
Should we not be acquainted yet, my name is Yujin Mikotoba. Currently, I am working with Dr. Mathis to get a medical clinic up and running. Back home, I am a university professor of forensic science and on rare occasion, I serve as a diplomatic advisor to my government.
I am writing to you today with the intention of discussing the ever increasing criminal activities within Reverein and its neighboring areas. It has come to my attention that there are no true written laws to be found, nor official law enforcement. There is no ruler of any sort here, and as a result, no one who has the final say in conflicts. I fear that before long, we may be opening ourselves up not only to vigilantes, but to those who may take advantage of the lack of structure and authority in order to get away with more nefarious deeds.
However, I am aware this is not a simple discussion by any means. As our community continues to grow, so does the diversity within it. We all hail from different worlds, with different cultures and values. What may be common courtesy to some may be an entirely foreign concept to others. For that reason, I propose that there may be merit in assembling a council of sorts. Not to rule, but rather, to offer perspective from different angles. It may be too early to construct true laws, though that needn't stop us from coming together and building a bit of moral structure. The more feedback and experiences we gather in this council, the easier it will be to construct regulatory guidelines. Then, in due time, perhaps we may gather some volunteers to be certain these guidelines are adhered to for the sake of keeping the peace.
This is only a humble proposal, of course. If you have any thoughts on the matter, or an interest in this hypothetical council, please feel free to respond. I would very much like to hear more opinions. Thank you for your time.
[Greenhouse | OTA]
[It's a brisk day out, a light drizzle of rain pestering anyone who dares to venture outside. Luckily, Yujin Mikotoba is working inside. Inside the greenhouse, that is! The Glowing Dawn flowers, an impressive collection in all, are glowing with a discreet blue light and the rain is tapping against the glass roof in a relaxing manner. All in all, it's not a bad place to be! Yujin is crouching by some of the flowers, checking the leaves for any infestations and taking notes on their growth.
While the greenhouse is just behind the Mikotoba treehouse, it's not exactly private property. Anyone is free to stop by and investigate!]
[Clinic | Closed to Jude]
[Another location where Yujin spends his time is the soon-to-be-clinic! It's still being prepared together with Jude, but they're getting very close now. The place ought to be operational soon enough.
At the moment, Yujin is preparing a bed in one of the patient rooms. After what happened with 76, it's become extra clear to him that the clinic needs to be ready to accept patients as soon as possible, so they can recover in a controlled environment with all the necessities within reach. The room has to be clean and it has to be comfortable.]

[Want to do something else with him? Go wild, or hit me up on Plurk or Discord for plotting!]

What does it say about him that his mind went straight to the assumption that someone died?A blush coming to his cheeks, he ducks his head and rubs the back of his neck. ]Oh! [ He laughs sheepishly. ] Well I'm relieved to hear that. What are they called?
no subject
They've been named Glowing Dawn. As they seem to have a calming effect on those afflicted by Noctaere symptoms, we found it beneficial to move them here to town. Our hope is that they'll be able to help many people in the future.
no subject
I see. They're both beautiful and useful, then. I understand why you'd want to keep a healthy supply somewhere safe.
Sorry again for the disturbance. I work in a flower shop where I'm from, so these caught my attention. I'm Omi.
no subject
If you wouldn't mind, could you perhaps have a closer look at the flowers to be certain they're properly cared for? I'm afraid I'm no botanist myself, so it'd be reassuring to have an expert opinion.
no subject
Yes! It's very nice to meet you as well, Mikotoba-san. I wouldn't call myself an expert, especially on this unfamiliar species, but if it would help to offer any thoughts from my experience with other flowers, I'm glad to spend a little more time in here.
no subject
[He's honestly just kind of been winging it based on what little experience he has with herbs. It's hardly the same thing.]
no subject
[Omi turns to the flowers and first takes a couple of minutes just looking at one of them, frowning in thought as he contemplates what's most likely to be its needs based on what he can see of the stems, leaves, and soil. Then he sticks his fingertip in the soil nearby to test the moisture level and skims over the rest of the flowers. When he's circled back around, he offers a kind smile.]
You can tell that these flowers are getting a lot of love. It shows how much care you've put into them. The biggest concern I have is that they're at risk of too much sun as spring approaches. Some flowers do much better in shade. Right now, they're getting a good amount of water and the sky is overcast from the winter, so they seem healthy. Once the sun is shining more, that may tip the balance out of their favor. A shade cloth could be really helpful.
no subject
Indeed, that sounds like a good idea. These flowers were originally found inside a humid cave. Therefore, I've been focusing a lot of attention on keeping them moist. However, the amount of light in the greenhouse is something I hadn't quite thought to keep an eye on. A cloth ought to help manage the situation a bit.
