This land becomes stranger and stranger. Has anyone else come upon these new statues? Or have you an idea, perhaps, of their purpose?

[Mezzaline walks the path to Ardel, pulling a few garlands from their hosts. None of these plants grew in Erremal; there is so much diversity here!]

The flowers, at least, are beautiful!

[missmimmi]

I agree.

[Flowers are such a welcome sight, who cares about creepy statues?]

[mezzaline]

[EXACTLY. But Mimmi's accent is so... different! It's pretty.]

Your words are unusual, miss. From where do you hail?

[missmimmi]

Germany.

[mezzaline]

What is Germany?

[Non-Earthling here, Mimmi!]

[missmimmi]

[Mimmi was about to go LOLWUT stupid question-

But she stops herself. Because there are people here who aren't from Earth. Or her version of Earth anyway]

It is a country in Europe.

[mezzaline]

Do they all speak as you do, in this Germany of Europe?

[missmimmi]

Not everyone, nein, but ah, a good majority.

[mezzaline]

It is a lovely way of speaking. Never have I heard it before!

[No German-equivalent back home, after all!]

[missmimmi]

[O-oh, Mimmi is kind of flattered.]

Oh, danke.

I suppose there is a first for everything.

[mezzaline]

Of course! Everything must begin, save for what has always been.

[missmimmi]

That sounds about right, ja.

My name is Mimmi, by the way. Who are you?

[mezzaline]

I am Mezzaline! It is a pleasure, Mimmi.

[missmimmi]

Ah, Mezzaline? That is a very lovely name.

[SHE WISHES HER NAME WERE THAT PRETTY BI]

[mezzaline]

So kind of you to say! Thank you, Mimmi.
