01.

Oh, yeah, THAT'S a mess. There are people who are far more capable of helping the more dire and complicated aspects, and far more equipped to, so she's helping by trying desperately to stay out of their way. What she can at least do in the immediate aftermath is help direct uninjured Agrii somewhere hopefully safer, and find someone to help her get the injured ones to medical. So, if someone is nearby and looks like they're not tied up elsewhere, they'll get a “Hey, can I ask a favor?” from her.

02.

Later, when it becomes clear they need to collect goods for trade, she knows that's something she can definitely do well. She decides to start with any fresh foods and nice plants she can scrounge up, because, well, she may as well start with flexing her Agriculture data point skills. Here is where anyone else who isn't otherwise tied up will get her coming up to them and recruiting them for help in this mission.

“Totally fair.” She offers a half smile. “I kind of saw it as I needed the boost of something. Alien planets and high school cheerleader might not mix well otherwise, you know?” She has no magic powers, she can't fight that well, et cetera.

"I get that," Radley agrees. "And it's a useful skill set."

“Sometimes I wish there was one that was like 'this datapoint makes you really good at telling jokes or playing pranks', because this place needs humor sometimes.” Would it be useful in terms of things they need to do here? No. Which is probably why it doesn't exist.

Radley chuckles. "Humor would be nice. I know if my friend Scotch was here, he'd liven everything up like that."

Seeing a plant that has promise in being valuable, she collects it. “Has it always been just you from your world here?” She arrived here already having a few people from her world in this place, which she's glad for. A lot of them need a place like this — a place where they can still live their lives.

"Yeah, it has," Radley says with a bit of a melancholy smile. "On the one hand, I'm glad my friends from home don't have to experience the bad things of being here. But on the other ... I miss them a lot and I know at least some of them, like Scotch, would find a lot to enjoy here."

“The people I actually hung out with at home would probably hate the weirdness of this place. I, and I suspect them, didn't really know how weird our town actually was; those monsters that showed up a bit ago are from where I'm from. Didn't know the full scope of that when I was home, though.” All she'd known was she was seeing some really weird things. “What's this Scotch person like?”

Radley winces. "That is pretty freaky they came from your place." He'd be horrified if the Earthbound Immortals showed up here.

He smiles. "Scotch loves science-fiction and fantasy and spooky things. He would be ecstatic to be on a big adventure like this. Of course, once he'd meet things like those monsters from your home, he'd sober up and realize some aspects of a sci-fi adventure are not fun."

“Well, sci-fi adventures do need heroes. Which I suppose means that by default some things have to be not so great so the heroes can hero.” She squints slightly (mostly at herself). That sentence made MUCH more coherent sense in her head. Oh well. The point still stands.

“And you? Were you much for fictional sci-fi before your life became a sci-fi adventure here?” She's seen Star Wars and a small handful of other sci-fi movies, but that's about all she can claim as far as the genre goes.

Radley is rather amused by the sentence. That honestly also sounds like something Scotch might say. "Hmm. Yes, I suppose you're right," he muses.

He nods to this. "I like some science-fiction. Star Wars, mostly, and Star Trek can be pretty good. I like the friendships on that. I'll pretty much watch anything to see a nice friendship."

“It is pretty hard to go wrong with either of those.” She agrees with a nod. “They're not science fiction, but personally I could watch Audrey Hepburn films on a never-ending loop.” Because of course she would. Audrey is timeless icon goals.

Seeing another plant that looks promising, she also decides to smell it only because it looks pretty and might smell nice like a rose or something? No, instead it makes her sneeze. Welp, should have seen that one coming.. maybe.

Radley smiles to that. "Audrey Hepburn is a class act."

He jumps slightly when the plant causes that reaction. "Gesundheit." He wonders if he would be allergic to it too, but opts not to test it.

“Thanks.” She shakes her head a little, as though that would get rid of the last of the irritants. “Okay maybe we don't do that with the plants.” A short pause. “If it had magically turned me into an alien cat or something, don't tell anyone from Hawkins.” They might never let her live that one down.

Radley smirks dryly. "Let's hope nothing here can cause such reactions, but with these guys, I'm not sure it'd surprise me."

“Right? I feel like I've seen everything but that. And even then, there's very likely a lot I'm not considering.” Oh, no doubt on that one. “You can have dibs on that particular I told you so.” When or if it happens.

Radley laughs darkly. "At least if we stay away from all Agrii candy, that should help prevent some things."
