[ The following appears in a neat, practiced script that some may recognize as Himeka's handwriting. To the more magically inclined, it may faintly sparkle in places. ]

One of the things I've felt most fortunate about my time here is that I get the opportunity to meet so many people from so many different places. And I know I'm not alone in that!

Some of us has been here for a few summers while others only a moon or so, and it's not always easy when we have malms and mountains between us. But one of the best ways to understand where someone comes from is through what they like to eat. Right?

So, Alucard and I have a proposal! This could be the opportunity to create the first universe-wide cookbook. So if you have something to contribute from your world, whether it's your favorite dish, an old family recipe, or just something that you think is a staple to show off your culture's palette, let us know!

[ Adora's still shaking a little when she closes her eyes and tries to focus on sending her message. At first the words come across shaky, but they even out. On one side, Catra's holding her hand, and it gets a little easier. ]

[ It isn't always up to her, she knows that, it's a lesson she had to learn the very, very hard way. But old habits are hard to let go of, and it was her vision. She feels responsible, and she can't even give a better description of who she saw to try and warn them better. Adora isn't sure how to end her thoughts, so it takes a lengthy pause for the last bit to come through. ]

I know that this is all technically available in Horizon, but

if there was one food or ingredient you could bring to your faction from your home, what would you want?

I miss nachos. With that yellow 'cheese' that comes from a pump, and jalapenos.

Aurelius once wrote, "If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

My fundamental concern about this wisdom is that it fails to spot the physical root of trauma. People who cannot snap out of their distress also deserve compassion and treatment.

My apologies for the intrusion. Locals informed me about the recent chaos and I found myself concerned and a little hesitant about reaching out. Back home I treat those who approach me for support with their mental health. I had excellent resources there but here I can offer nothing but a listening ear.

I understand some of you might be feeling exposed, stressed and intimidated. To you I offer my own wisdom. If you worry about what lies ahead, you will be the only one who suffers in the end.

To all else, kind regards for listening.

Oh. Reading, isn’t it? This system is entirely new to me. What a brave new world this place is.
