I suppose that it's high time I've introduced myself on this, though I'm not so sure that now's the best time. I understand that events like... this happen often here though, so perhaps it is.

I'm Tom Badgerlock. I arrived here about a week and a half ago, and have spent the last week acquainting myself with... all of this. It's all very different than where I'm from, but I think I've been getting the lay of the land.

I also suspect the money I was given on my arrival won't last too terribly long, so if anyone has any work, I would be grateful for it. I can do scribe work, though I don't suppose I'll be able to try my hand at creating inks for it without better acquainting myself with the local flora. I've done work in the past as a farmhand, and can do manual labour. Most recently I was employed as the valet and bodyguard of a particular lord, and then was recruited into the Queen's guard. I'm most proficient with an axe, though I can use a sword if necessary.

I doubt it very much. They've always seemed like folk tales to me. But then, I suppose there's plenty of stories I'd thought were folk tales that had proven themselves to be true, so I could be mistaken on this one too.

It's just been Hap and I for the last seven years, up until when we recently came to Buckkeep Town for his apprenticeship. It's been an adjustment, but I do miss him more than I'd thought I would. I'm sorry that you're missing your parent though. I hope you'll be reunited.

That's... incredible, I suppose. Were there no native plants or animals there before?

Almost all of the magic and supernatural here in Vallo is a folk tale at home for me. I'm learning to keep an open mind at this point.

Same to you. Or at least I hope you two get to be wherever you want to be. Some people are happy to stay here.

There were some, but it wasn't as efficient for large scale farming as it is now. Most terraforming in our galaxy is about pushing the planet to its maximum output for whatever resource the government wants to get out of it.

	And you? Are you happy to stay here? While I understand that changing some of the land for the sake of agriculture is necessary, I can't see how turning over an entire planet for farmland is beneficial for anyone but humans. That can't be sustainable, can it? (Reply to this) (Parent)
