[charm: video]
[Instead of Dara's usual appearance, the feed opens to a view of her walking on two legs along the parameter of some crops and holding her charm with only one of two gloved hands. Although it may be hard to tell that it's Dara at all considering her hairstyle switched to a bob that frames a wooden mask covering her face; some may even recognize it as a certain mask representing Fortune. The background may also look familiar to those who've traveled to Rumpitur except the farmland looks significantly healthier than before alongside new wooden pillars that line the edge.]
I've secured the crops for the Rumpiturians. Sounds like there are plans being made already, so don't bother me for extra help with the blight. I've got my hands full over here.
[Yup, that's definitely Dara's voice. Speaking of, there's a small gathering of the snake people that soon swarm the curse god, causing her to fumble the charm and drop it on the ground. Some of the Rumpiturians have tears of joy, a few grinning with hope, and they all have their expectant gazes on her. One even grabs her hands--]
Lady Misogiya-- no, Priestess Misogiya, how could we ever repay you?! If what you said is true, we will never have to starve again! A brighter future for our children. Thank you... and please, will you teach us your ways? We will try our best to provide anything you need in return. Just say the word!
[There are agreeable nods and murmurs, yet Dara's reaction is unreadable thanks to the mask. Even her tone stays neurtal:]
If you all agree to follow my teachings, then so be it. I'll need a place established for monitoring--
A temple, yes! It shall be done!
...Okay, fine. Sure. A small place, nothing big. I also need a large vase for water. But before all that, let's just...talk a bit before we rush into things. [With that, Dara pulls her hands away and picks up her charm to turn it off.]

no subject
But at the same time, he also knew what happened should he get his emotions get the better of him.]
Even if it wasn't being posted, I'm sure that someone else would eventually find out. That would lead a lot of people to come after you too. As for if you think I care or not, that'll be up to you to decide.
[And yet, he couldn't deny that he was difficult to stay calm.]
no subject
[The point being: slacktivism. But since the back and forth of conversation just isn't there, Dara's getting bored.]
Well, I suppose you are just a kid. Mindfulness can take years to cultivate.
no subject
[With that, he gave a cough or two. As troublesome as it was to be called a kid, he wasn't sure if he should be happy about that. It seemed that he did accomplish something here.]
Anyway, I suppose I am but I like to think I'm still learning.
