VERTILINE [ 1 ]

[lilyground]

Hello? Hellooooo?

[A fitting way to begin a post on ArtichokeNet. It's amazing Lily even found the right buttons. There's a whoosh of air when Lily shakes the communicator. That's obviously going to help! One can hear sniffles in the background. Lily just finished crying with joy (for now).]

Um, is anybody there? My name is Lily. [… Not Unit 67.
