[As always, Fatima's painted her makeup on about an inch thick before addressing the network. And given that this is an extra special announcement, she'd done up her hair in a librarian bun and chosen her most respectable outfit.
Or, at least, what she considers respectable, coming from 2009 Los Angeles: It's a red blazer and short, leather miniskirt, showing off her lovely and shapely legs.
...Los Angeles. What are you gonna do?
But, really, it's never the clothes or the makeup that contribute most to her costuming. It's the attitude, the emphasis on devil-may-care, I've-seen-it-all, too-jaded-to-ever-be-wide-eyed-again. She has it down to an art. If she says so herself.]
Okay, so. Hi. Fatima Merali here. I'm now lord high poo-bah of the hydroponics initiative or something. Which means I'm gonna be in charge of growing us fruits and vegetables. Assuming we don't all go down in a fireball of death.
...could we maybe not go down in a fireball of death? Because that would be super.
Anyway, while I'm truly badass when it comes to gardening, I don't know if I'm badass enough to provide for the dietary needs of everyone on board all by myself. So, I guess I'm looking to see if any of you would be interested in joining me in the initiative. The captains seem to be cool with it, since they let me get out of an otherwise hilariously awful job situation so...
Just something to think about. Here to answer your questions. I have nowhere else to be.

Gardening sounds kind of fun actually! [ Sakura knows she's not here to play games, but really gardening with others sounds enjoyable. Well, more enjoyable than it would be if you were by yourself anyways. ]
no subject
It can be. It can be very fun.
But also hard work. It requires a lot of patience.
no subject
I'll work as hard as I can so we can grow lots of green! To be honest, I don't know much about gardening. Will you teach me?
no subject
[She would never admit it, but Fatima's pretty good with kids. Goes with the territory of being the dhampir queen of the compound. Someone has to look out for the younger ones.]
But first, you should probably tell me your name.
no subject
Nice to meet you.
[ Shes smiles enthusiastically while trying to be polite. ]
no subject
[Fatima can't speak a word of it, but she'd had to study some ancient texts with...interesting translations.]
no subject
You said your name was Fatima? May I use your first name? [ It's usually impolite to address people so informally once you meet them. This is just to make sure. ]
no subject
no subject
Does it mean anything? [ As far as Sakura's concerned it sounds kind of foreign. ]
no subject
This is just refreshing.]
Yeah. It means "the shining one."
no subject
Maybe that means that something special's waiting for you. [Suddenly Sakura feels filled with anticipation and hope. ]
no subject
[Fatima doesn't believe it for a second. Not after everything she's been through. To say nothing of her family history.
Still. It's nice to dream.]
Maybe it'll be my garden.
no subject
We just have to work together and make the best garden ever. [ They have the opportunity to do so, why not take it? ]
no subject
Well, that's definitely going to be the plan.
Best garden ever.
no subject
I'll try not to be a huge burden. [ Her lack of gardening skills might be a hindrance, she knows. ]
no subject
no subject
I noticed you're friendly too. I bet you've got lots of new friends on ths ship.
no subject
Out of the mouths of babes. Or something.]
Well, I'd like to be your friend.
no subject
[ At least in Sakura's opinion that's true. She doesn't want to find a reason to dislike someone. Not someone like Fatima anyways! ]
no subject
And you can never have too many friends.
