Sometimes I wonder where the time goes.

My garden is coming along nicely. It shouldn't be much longer before the first flowers bear fruit.

I must say, I do prefer the streets and shops of Emptiness to the halls and the rooms here in Niflheim.

It reminds me of home.

What an interesting wide spread epidemic.

Whoever has my body at the moment, I would very much like to speak with you. It's a small body, short and petite, with short black hair and violet eyes. It's a delicate body, you must understand, and requires special care.

Light, it appears as though I'm caring for your mortal shell for the duration of this...incident.

I wish to make it known that Walter Sullivan is under my personal protection. I will not tolerate harassment of him, and those who have issue with him will have to deal with me.

I have no desire to fight or argue with any of my own teammates or those on the side of God, but I will do so should it become necessary.

Leave Walter be.

I'm going into town to run some errands. I've been told there are supplies there, despite its abandoned state. I'd like to begin work on my garden. I miss the simple pleasure of nurturing and tending to flowers and trees.

Light, did you still wish to accompany me?

These communication devices truly are fascinating. The wealth of information available at fingertips...

Ah well.

Those who were interested in gardening, I believe I shall begin planting as soon as I've found a suitable spot. Please don't hesitate to let me know what manner of plants you have an interest in. I'm afraid I've nothing terribly interesting planned myself.

Just simple herbs and flowers.

It's truly astounding what can be done with even the most harmless herbs and flowers.

Is there a garden anywhere in this place? Or failing that, space for one?

What a fascinating place this is! And such delightful company. It's almost like a small vacation. And I suppose I could use a holiday. Of course nothing is perfect, but one learns to take the bad along with the good. And there is no situation which can't be fixed with a bit of thought.

And there is so very much to learn....

Oh, how terribly ironic!

To think, that silly religion that once condemned me as a witch all those centuries ago was actually right. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised that the fallen one himself has called to me - God always has hated science, hasn't he? Why pray to God when we humans have grown to realize there is nothing a god does that we can't do ourselves? It really isn't such a holy thing to create. Any fool with a book and a spark of talent can manage it.

I always knew I was destined for great things....

And the room I've been given is lovely! I do think I'm going to be quite comfortable here. It reminds me of home. Or an opium den. And I'm terribly eager to meet my 'teammates'. I'm sure we're all going to be the very best of friends.

I do believe this is all going to be very interesting.
