netbook; a greeting

( The handwriting is careful, neat cursive. What he has to say is well-thought out. )

Good afternoon!

I hope that everyone has been staying safe. If anyone is in need of it, I am here to provide any healing that's needed. Though, that is only one thing I wish to address.

My name is Pure Vanilla Cookie. Ever since I have re-awoken in this world, I have sought a way to regain my memories. However, I have hopes that I can meet those I had once known before. I wish to befriend anyone who previously knew me once before, and resume the projects that I had assisted with when I am able to do so. If we have spoke before, perhaps this is an opportunity to reintroduce ourselves to one another.

My desire is to help better the lives of those here. Things have been difficult, and any comfort that I can provide is more than enough for myself.

OH, HEY! I USED TO KNOW YOU AND HAVE EXPERIENCE DEALING WITH AMNESIA!

[What a coincidence!]

I MEAN I MOSTLY KNEW YOU THROUGH MY GREAT-NEPHEW DIPPER, BUT STILL! WELCOME BACK, SWISS CHEESE BRAIN AND ALL!

[As a fellow amnesiac, he's decided he's allowed to just say that.]

( Swiss cheese brain, huh? He wonders what Golden Cheese would say in response to that... )

I was not aware that Dipper had family here! I am glad to know that you can be here for one another.

Thank you, my friend. Was your experience with amnesia similiar?

YEAH! I'M HIS GREAT UNCLE. HIS OTHER GRUNKLE WAS HERE TOO BUT WE THINK HE VANISHED TO THE WOODS SOMEWHERE. HE'LL BE BACK, PROBABLY. I MEAN, YOU CAME BACK SO IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO BUY, RIGHT?

AND NAH IT WASN'T ANYTHING LIKE THIS. I HAD MY WHOLE BRAIN WIPED WITH A MEMORY GUN AND HAD TO PUT IT ALL BACK TOGETHER AFTER. IT'S ABOUT 80% THERE ON A GOOD DAY, YOU KNOW HOW IT GOES.

[He literally doesn't, Stan just said it wasn't the same.]

POINT IS SOMETIMES YOU CAN BRUTE FORCE IT WITH ENOUGH PICTURES AROUND!

I see! I myself am curious to know what happens during one's absence here. But, that is one of the many mysteries within this world. I am certain that he is safe, just as I was.

... I may wish to find another solution, but I appreciate the encouragement. I admit, I did not know such devices exist.

Even so, I am sorry to hear that that had happened to you!

( Brute force is definitely not the way to go, but he is curious?? )

Hello, Pure Vanilla Cookie. This is Joshua. I knew you previously. I am also a healer, and I work with Lady Lily at the clinic. I would be happy to speak with you.

It is nice to meet you again, my friend. White Lily Cookie has told me of the clinic! I am grateful that she has had help during my absence. Once we are able so, I would be happy to volunteer however much I am able to.

Thank you for taking the time to speak with me.

Hey, it's Dipper. I see you're already talking to my Uncle and you remember our chat at the town hall.

I don't think this came up before, but you were giving me some magic lessons. I don't want you to take on too much at once, so there's no hurry to start them up again or anything.

[He knows what you're like.]

It's good to hear from you again, my friend! I was relieved to hear that you have good company with you here.

( And that he seems to be in high spirits, no less. It's... difficult to be here, and yet -- Pure Vanilla knows that it would be much harder alone. )

I see! I would be more than happy to continue our lessons, if you do not mind showing me what you know so far. But please, do not worry. I am always happy to make time to help someone.

[Pure Vanilla will hate to learn it again, but Dipper is certainly used to everything being horrific all the time, so he's built up a shocking ability to roll with this stuff.]

Yep! If you ever need anything, you can find our cabin out on the tree line.

"Do not worry" you say, when I know you are exactly the kind of person to take on too much for others sake and not worry about yourself. Don't think I'll let you get away with that.

But yeah, next time I'm over, we can go over things.

( He absolutely will. )

I appreciate the offer. At this moment, I myself can be found at the inn. I hope that you will allow me to extend the offer to you, as well. I am still rather new here as I am now, but I am always here if there is anything that you need.

You do know me well already, I see! I confess that I do prefer to keep myself busy. However, that is all the more reason to continue to do so here. Besides, one can only benefit from knowing how to heal.

That sounds like a plan. Just name a time and place, and I shall be there.

Although you've lost your memories, it's a pleasure to make your acquaintance once more, Pure Vanilla Cookie. I am Ser Kiera Aurelius, Knight Commander, Council Jester, and ice cream enthusiast. We'd spoken a few times, mostly about sweets and healing. I'm quite versed in the aforementioned, but only an observer of the latter. I understand that's more your expertise? ;)

The pleasure is all mine! And an honor, as well!

I see... I am rather partial to sweets, though it is true that healing is my specialty! Perhaps we can take this as an opportunity to get to know one another better. Are there any sweets in particular that you are fond of?

Aw, even though my ego and I appreciate it, I promise you don't actually need to flatter me. ;) Just about anything will do, though besides the ice cream, I suppose my favorites usually involve fruit. Tarts, pies, sorbets, that sort of thing. Chocolate is also a special treat, though a rather rare one due to trade embargoes in my home. What about yours?

Is it truly only flattery if one is being honest?

I am fond of cakes myself! Though, I prefer that they be topped with fruit. Though, if chocolate is a rarity for you normally, perhaps you can indulge in it here.

I admit I'm not entirely accustomed to folk being quite so upfront! Yours is a most welcome change, of course. Cakes are lovely, simply by merit of variety. There's usually one for any palate, even for those who aren't particularly fond of sugar. I do agree that they are better with fruit, however! Strawberry or raspberry with a chocolate cake... ah! I do, admittedly! Somehow, thankfully, it has thus far maintained its significance to me despite the easier access. I understand based on our past conversations that many of your own local specialties are lacking in these parts, though. Is there anything you miss in particular?

I'm glad to hear that! A little kindness can go a long way.

Though, perhaps my second arrival here has been different. I have not yet noticed anything missing, though I do certainly miss Vanilla Kingdom a great deal. It is not just the people I miss dearly, but the gardens and the ongoing days of peace.

Though, it is enough for someone to value the peaceful days here all the more.

What sorts of plants grew around the gardens? Ha! I'd say it's been quite a while since we had any of those around here. I hesitate to count our little "vacation" some weeks ago, seeing as it was in another plane of existence... I'm growing a bit tired of bugs and doppelgangers, myself.
