This world has such a stench to it... it's a wonder any of you can breathe.

In the interest of making this place more tolerable, where would one be able to acquire roses? I wish to start a garden.

Or are we incapable of having even that meager luxury?

"Low-lives"? Are you referring to the people in this village?

I am referring to people as a general concept. The village would fall under that category, yes.

[.........]

Don't you think that's a little harsh to say?

And what foolish reason do you have for assuming I would ever think that?

Because I know a lot of the people who live here aren't all that bad.

By your meager classless little standards, perhaps. Not by mine.

[...] And what would your standards be?

They would be far, far above yours. Must I elaborate?

[;; Her standards aren't that low.] ... No. You don't need to.

[Now that Noel thinks about it, though, she hasn't really spoken to Rachel since she first arrived. And thinking that flowers are "better companions than low-lives"... hrm.]

Has everything been okay since you've arrived?

Despite my best efforts, I am trapped here in a world where I am ostensibly an experiment and plaything for a group of power-crazed mad scientists playing god. The citizens of this place are puerile on their best of days, a stench of decay pervades this building, and the residences might charitably be called hovels.

Beyond that, then yes. I suppose everything has been "okay," to put it in your limited vocabulary.

[... D8

What does someone even say to that? Uh. Um. Deeeerrrrp--]

I... I'm sorry. [...] But-- if there's anything you need, I could try to help.

*What's this

The gears in her head are starting to turn.* You. Are offering your aid to me?

Leaving aside the dreadful inequalities in the situation to begin with, that is quite the... bold offer from a girl like you. I just might take you up on it.

[Noel doesn't think it's that bold. She's only offering to help if she can... unless there's something more to this than meets the eye.

... She should probably take this back. But she won't.] R-Really? In that case... let me know if there's anything you need?

Oh, I most certainly will, Noel Vermillion.

... All right. I'll talk to you later, then.

Good day.

*Danger danger, Noel Vermillion.*

[Noel should start hiding. BUT SHE SUSPECTS NO UNFORTUNATE REPERCUSSIONS.]
