[The video that appears on the screen is pretty blurry, with the girl in the image trying desperately to center it on herself and failing. Still, the bright smile on her face is pretty obvious.]

Oh, erm-is this recording yet? [She clears her throat.] Well, I hope it is...hi everybody! My name is Coriander Bliss, and I'm representing the Bliss Family Bakery here! Although don't be fooled by that name-I can definitely do things besides bake!

Anyways, the kitchen's got a bunch of stuff, so I'll do my best to try and make something new every day! I'm letting you all know so that if you have any requests, you can tell me! Plus if you recognize some of the stuff in there, that'd also be useful.

Plus, I can make enchanted snacks as well, that can boost your abilities in various ways! Just let me know what kind of advantage you'd like and I'll do my best to make you your own special batch!

Oh. No, our Oracle... she didn't really predict the future. I mean, I guess she knew prophecies and stuff? But mostly it was her job to, like, talk to the gods. And to heal people.

[rhododendronhoney]

Really? I guess talking to the gods is closer to the original meaning...but healing magic is restricted like that? [That's kind of worrying.]

[photoshooter]

Noct--uh, the line of Lucian kings, I mean--they've got a little healing power, too. I mean, his magic can make soda and energy drinks and stuff heal wounds, cure poison, et cetera.

But the Oracle's the only one who can heal this disease we've got on Eos called--called the Starscourge. It's... bad. ...It turns people into monsters.

[He knows enough now to understand 'daemon' isn't something everyone recognizes. That it's not something that defines other people's lives the way it defines life on his planet.]

[rhododendronhoney]

[Cori flinches at the comment.] Oh...that sounds really bad. Is-is it really serious? If there's only one Oracle, it must be really hard for her too...to be responsible for all that.

[photoshooter]

It's a lot more serious than I understood, growing up in Insomnia where it was safe.

[How much had the Wall kept out, besides the obvious threat of the Empire? How very sheltered had he been?]

The last Oracle... gave her life trying to make the world safe like that for everyone. [Quieter:] We didn't get there in time to save her.

[rhododendronhoney]

Oh... [Her voice gets very soft.] That's...that's terrible. Is there really no other way to handle that Starscourge? Maybe...maybe someone here will have some way if they're all from different worlds.

[photoshooter]

[There's another way.

Prompto holds his breath a moment, then exhales and nods.]

Yeah. Yeah, maybe. There's gotta be something we can do.

[Something that doesn't require sacrificing anybody else.]

All the magitek research the 'droids do, maybe they'll have heard of something. Not that I wanna trust magitek so much, but... I guess it's different here.

[rhododendronhoney]

[Cori nods, looking determined.] I don't know as much about healing diseases, but I'll do my best to help. I do have several ways of preserving things, so that might help keep any cure they figure out safe until it's ready to use.

[photoshooter]

[There's that smile again.]

Thanks, Cori. It means a lot to have some help on this.

[rhododendronhoney]

[She will kill Ardyn a man to protect this smile, possibly.] Of course! I want to help everyone here the best I can, after all!
