[The video feed opens on... something that looks suspiciously like a commercial. Aerith is standing in the middle of her "garden" - or what anyone else would call a giant field of flowers. Strangely, though many flowers and plants are dying in the fall cold, Aerith's flowers look healthy as ever.

(The video is unmistakably taken with her phone on a selfie stick.)]

It's finally October! We all know it's an important month! We think about Halloween first, of course, but did you know October has a second holiday? One even sweeter than Halloween.

Sweetest Day!

A very important day for those of us with sweethearts~ Sweetest Day is the time to remind the people you're sweet on just how much you care. In fact, why not say it in flowers? I grow just about every kind you can think of, and no one else has fresher flowers than me. That's a guarantee!

[WINK~]

So come visit me right here in Nonah 06, or catch me in Maurtia Falls on weekends, Heropa on Mondays and Thursdays, and De Chima on Wednesdays.

But, you know~ Halloween lovers shouldn't worry! Because guess what~

[The video cuts off for half a second and is spliced together with what's clearly a shot from later in the day. Aerith, still in her backyard, is standing in front of a pumpkin patch. It's not big by any means, but she's got about two dozen pumpkins ready for the picking.]

I've got pumpkins, too! Whether you want to carve them or make them into a pie, stop right here at Nonah 06 and you'll be set for fall in no time!

See you all soon~

There aren't any sort of bff flowers, are there? I'm not sweet on anybody, but I do have a few good friends.

[23wishes]

Actually, there are plenty! Though the yellow rose is probably the most well known. But I think you could get someone just about anything, as long as there weren't romantic flowers in the bouquet like red or white roses, and it would come off as friendly.

[helpline]

Wonderful! I'd like a few bouquets of yellow roses, then.

[23wishes]

I'll do my best to get them all to you on time!

[helpline]

Wonderful! Let's go with...four bouquets for now, I might hit you up if I want some more later.

[23wishes]

Who are they for?

[She can't help but pry.]

private!

[helpline]

[ because LIKE HELL he's telling Aerith this in the open. ]

Clara, Hazel, Saint Walker, and Max. Girl Max, Max Caulfield, that is.

[23wishes]

Almost all girls, Doctor?

[She's smirking.]

Maybe I had you pegged wrong.

[helpline]

[ paaaaaaaaause ]

Wait, what'd you peg me as?

private

[23wishes]

I thought you'd like women your own age~

private

[helpline]

There's not that many women here over two thousand. Besides, you can be friends with anybody.

[ WHO HAS TWO THUMBS AND IS MISSING THE POINT ENTIRELY? ]

[23wishes]

Physically your age, Doctor.

[helpline]

And? Clara and I look like we're about the same age.

[ said 100% seriously. ]

[23wishes]

Clara doesn't deserve that.

[helpline]

Deserve what?

[23wishes]

You know what!

[helpline]

I don't know what! Really, I don't, we look about the same age, but nobody notices it with her cause she's pretty.

[23wishes]

You're pretty too, Doctor, don't be jealous.

[helpline]

Well yeah, but she's the sort of pretty that manages to get people to buy her things and trust her. I'm all wrinkles and angles—at least I don't have a beard, though. I look properly sinister with a beard.

[23wishes]

Mm. I agree. A lot of guys look better with beards, but you'd look...

[Like an evil wizard from a storybook?]

... Not good.

[helpline]

There were a few people here a while back, the Musketeers. Apparently with a beard, I look strikingly similar to their nemesis.

[ so YUP, he knows he'd look evil with a beard. Boy howdy those were a confusing first days. ]

[23wishes]

[Whoops, that makes her crack up.]

See, I had a feeling... I guess you'll just have to suffer with shaving for the rest of your very, very long life.

[helpline]

I don't mind shaving. Better that than constantly being mistaken for a baddie!

[ that....would get so annoying so fast. ]
