[Johanna had been wanting to play with the so called "Magic Dirt" for some time now, having heard of it from the various constructs others had created of the stuff. Now, having collected said substance through an ordeal that has left her with a few scratches and  more then enough annoyance for a single days work,  Johanna set to work bringing into

[It wasn't anything new for Gabrielle to curiously explore her surroundings. After all, a sniper's job is to know their surroundings during a battle and use that to their advantage, isn't it? The Gardens were larger than she expected and almost seemingly never ended (there were a few places here and there that seemed to veer off-she would have to visit those spots later).]

[But as she makes her way through another part, she can't help but notice the beautiful house that stood there. After seeing years of skyscrapers and cities, it is almost foreign to see a house like the one before her. Gabrielle wouldn't have said it herself, but the old-looking house reminds her much of her childhood home. A bit of nostalgia hits her as she admires Johanna's work.]

[Until her eyes drift down to the woman standing in front of it; Gabrielle calmly walks over, glancing up at the house once more.] Is this yours?

[Johanna was quick to notice the girl standing not far from her position, and similarly presented a pleasant greeting of little substance.]

Yes, it is. It's actually a replica of my residence in my world. Not perfect, but it will do.

It's beautiful... [She says it a bit breathlessly, but it's only for a moment. She crosses her arms and tilts her head.] You built it all on your own?

[99soulstokeep]

Out of the magical dirt, yes. Most of the effort was in wresting the stuff from the damned animals that live around here.

"Magical dirt"? [The idea, at least for this place, of dirt containing any form of magic, doesn't really surprise her all that much. Her tone is a bit incredulous, but at this point, it almost seems as if she is living in some sort of fairy tale-different from her own world full of destruction and emptiness-something she expects from a Garden full of talking animals.] And how exactly does that work?

[99soulstokeep]

"Even as a woman of science and magic, I have no real idea how this blasted stuff works." [Johanna honestly wished she knew, she was simply the type of person who could not stand not understanding something.]

[aureation]

How did you make the house? I mean... did you think of it and the magic dirt put itself together?

[Her tone sounds a bit condescending, only because she's confused.]

[99soulstokeep]

I do believe that is exactly what happened.

[aureation]

That sounds ridiculous.

[A house made entirely of dirt; Gabrielle's not sure wether she wants to believe it or not. Even in a place like this.]
