Ah... hello. Most of you don't know me. [Pariya fidgets, looking rather shy and uncomfortable to be addressing the camera. She looks away.]

My name's Pariya. I've been here two months, but-- I don't go out much, and I'm not really good at this thing. Well... more like terrible at it. So I don't use it much. Sorry.

A-Anyway. My power is... u-um. It's... healing bread...

Th-That is! With all the... stuff happening... lots of people are getting hurt, so. I experimented a bit. So! I-If you're injured, or sick... tell me where you are, and I'll come deliver you some bread and cookies. For free. They can't heal the flare sickness, or whatever it's called, but I think they can slow it... and alleviate the symptoms for a time. And they definitely help speed the healing of normal injuries.

Um... yeah. That's it. I'm not sure what it's customary to say at the end of these things. Yeah.

Well, that's a... strange power, but a useful one! I think... I think you should try to give them to as many people as you can- even if you can't heal it, you can at least buy them some time.

[pariya]

[She turns a bit pink, clearly embarrassed...]

Oh-- um. Thank you.

I'd like to go out as much as possible, but... I-I'm not really a fighter, so...

[She's scared.]

[bindsthedead]

Well I am, and I seem to be immune. So if you need someone to distribute them, or guard you while you do, I can help.

[ Allison's actually smiling when she comes into view, lifting a hand to wave. ] Hi, Pariya!

I'm glad you're okay. I mean – you're okay, right? That's really nice of you. Healing bread sound like it'll do some good.

[pariya]

[She gives Allison a small smile in return-- which for someone as gloomy and shy as Pariya, is practically akin to a large grin.]

Hello, Ms Allison.

I'm fine. I keep to myself, mostly. And my shop and my house is in Nonah. But, um-- helping others is what you're supposed to do in this situation, right? At least... that's what I'd want other people to do for me, if it was my village.

[industria]

[ She'll take it, anyway. Smiles of any size are good for her right now since she is trying not to stew in her own personal problems and reach out to the larger community. ]

Oh! You can just call me Allison if you want to.

I'm here too. In Nonah, I mean. Do you need any help yourself?

[He's been resisting the disease for the most part, but it's not getting any better, of course. If he sounds a little jittery, he'll apologize later.]

Y-you make bread? That could...stave it off?

[pariya]

That's right.

[And suddenly, she isn't awkward any more.

This isn't a social conversation, it's a business one.]

Tell me where you are, and I can make a delivery.

[abadidea]

[He rattles off the address of the apartment he shares with Ellie in Heropa.]

Uh...thanks, b-by the way. Do you know anything about this thing?

Could I get some for a friend? The disease was progressing quickly in her and I would not see her die before a cure is found.

[pariya]

Ah... I'm sorry to hear it.

[And she is. She's no stranger to sickness taking the lives of people before their time.]

If you give me a delivery address, I'll come right away.

[firstborncopper]

I live at 002 in Heropa's government housing. But it might be faster if I come to you. I am not home.

Seems like you can make videos just fine. You got the message across, and that's all you really need to do.

Know how long the healing powers'll keep? A couple of other people already offered to help, but I could run delivery too. [She shrugs.] Or whatever else might be useful.

[pariya]

The magic lasts for as long as the bread does. The staler it gets, the less efficient it becomes. Once it goes moldy, the magic is gone.

The cookies last longer than the bread, but they don't seem to heal as much in one burst.

[rathercommon]

What a lovely power.

[ Kitty smiles at this poor, nervous, stuttery girl, as warmly as she can. ]

And useful, too. Do you know how long what you makes holds onto its power?

[redplainsrider]

Bread that heals. Hah. Dun that beat all. Have ya tried the bread on someone's that's been infected, or are ya jest guessin'?

[pariya]

I seem to just know... when a product comes out of the oven, I seem to just know automatically what it does. It's kind of weird, I guess...

VIDEO!

[bulwank]

You sound ashamed!

[pariya]

Eh? No, I-I'm not, it's just...

A lot of people here have really cool sorts of powers, like flying, or reading minds, and stuff...

Bread seems kind of lame in comparison...

[A shy girl with a unique power? Caesar's drawn to help her. Shyness, loneliness. These are his calling cards.]

Good afternoon, bella.

[He just about sparkles.]

How long do the healing powers last? Could you make a lot of his bread to have on hand?

Hey, Pariya! That's a neat power. [ Have a wave from this guy, supercool and showered in ice. ] I can freeze the bread so it lasts longer and deliver it to people, if you like. Would that help? Provisions or something.

[pariya]

Eughhh. I dislike frozen bread on principle...

But I suppose it should still work the same. Still. Such a waste of good bread...

[sophos]

Healing food is really useful. It's a good power to have.

What other kind of limits does it have?
