USER: #E00707 - can we even have green thumbs if there isn't any green

[parodeity]

[ USER: #E00707 in this lovely color ]

A brief announcement, as we’ve all seemed to embrace the trend of sharing important information on this forum: we have successfully begun cultivating a garden.

apparently when he says brief he means brief but anyway
flavo is now plus one flavor station
you could say its flavotown with guy fielderi
or not that you could also say not that
but yeah we just took over a random ass field and planted things
and then used a magical fertilizer known as time shit and also me
but mostly time shit which smells less bad than like bullshit but apparently has the same results
and anyway we used that to make stuff grow faster
you know for fun and profit
and also french fries
and now we are inviting you to help the fuck out because gardening is actually really boring
and also we could use a bigger variety of things to garden
i guess
right
hey how do we garden salt

Salt can be distilled out of salt water, with a bit of time and effort. Or was that intended to be a rhetorical question?

none of my questions are ever rhetorical i always want an answer
unless the answer is something dumb i guess but in that case i can always just make up that someone told me something not dumb
or i can just pretend i never asked
anyway that aside
were willing to probably reward anyone who wants to put in gardening time
like with weeds or things
or like actually giving us neat seeds or whatever
with food that actually tastes like stuff since thats most of what were growing
or just like food which is an important resource if you dont wanna die i guess
but also more importantly than any of that
french fries
because guess what tel made me french fries and theyre the bomb and i can now die a happy man the end
I didnt realize until this moment just how much i missed salt and that kind of warm greasy french fry smell and feeling
its chicken soup for the soul only way more satisfying and also probably less healthy which is what makes it more satisfying
you know you want in on this

That does seem a sufficient bribe, yes. Join the gardening effort; receive french fries. I’m willing to call that my contribution to the cause.

[ despite the fact this is all in dave's lovely red text, he is probably not larping talking with someone else. in fact, the other person is ignis scientia who will also probably respond to things. and as promised they have in fact set up a garden plot in flavo! thanks to dave's dumb time powers things they're growing there are on a month-week scale. for example, potatoes take 2 months but with dave applying some time shit they're taking 2 weeks. the garden currently offers: tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, onions, and wheat. these things all have flavor because they were made from things ignis had already from home! give them more stuff, obviously. maybe earn yourself some delicious french fries! ]

You had a harvest already?! That has to be some amazing fertilizer!
I've been trying to grow things as well!
I only have seeds that I've found around town or collected from plants in the forest. I don't know how useful they would be since they still don't have color though.

[parodeity]

when the fertilizer is time travel miracles are possible
but yeah if you want i can do some stuff on the seeds you got
if nothing else they can be you know
fodder food
and maybe they will get colors back sometime?
i know a bunch of shit did

Yes, as it turns out, Dave is quite the asset to gardening.

How long ago did you plant your own garden? I presume it must be recent.

I like the sound of Flavotown!

I didn't realize you could use your power like this on plants, too!! That's so useful. What do you have planted so far?

[parodeity]

tomatoes peppers potatoes onions and wheat
and id never tried it on plants before
so its a learning experience for all of us
ive like cycled a sword through its stages of life but that was different

[unfatalist]

[COLOR because guess what, chums, despite being a blue he's borrowing Dave's computer and account for this.]

Must we really dub the garden "Flavotown". Really.

[passio]

I don’t know how to garden, but I’d like to learn, especially if it could benefit everyone in a tangible way.

...but I don’t know what french fries taste like.

[unfatalist]

[COLOR because guess what, chums, despite being a blue he's borrowing Dave's computer and account for this.]

Really. You've never had matchstick-sliced potatoes fried in oil before?

I'm not doubting you, mind, I simply find it a bit curious.

[parodeity]

thats the saddest thing i ever heard
you absolutely have to try one theyre basically divine

join gardening effort butt like

[COLOR because guess what, chums, despite being a blue he's borrowing Dave's computer and account for this.]

That depends on your individual skillset, I think. Do you have any particular talents that might be useful toward the cause?

[parodeity]

^^ what he said
but weeding is a skill that everyone can manage i think

(is this like thread #4 at once)

oh shit nice
i got an idea about the salt but it's kinda crazy and i dunno if it'll work

I'm all in favor of rewarding innovation and brilliance. What is the idea?

[IS HE DOIN IT RITE]

[parodeity]

ok id ask what but i can see it above
hell you may as well try
sometimes crazy ideas work and what do you lose if it doesnt
besides the water which we maybe shouldnt waste theoretically but if its salt water does it matter

[Holy shit. Also (color)]

I'm pretty sure I'm willing to do a lot of gardening work for the sake of french fries.

I don't know anything about gardening but I'll learn.

[unfatalist]

[COLOR because guess what, chums, despite being a blue he's borrowing Dave's computer and account for this.]

Fortunately, potatoes in particular are fairly easy to cultivate — and the more potatoes, the more fries. In theory.

How are you with a knife?

[parodeity]

im led to believe 90% of gardening is weeding

#1A2367

[nascere]

french fries?

i like french fries

why are you talking like two people

[unfatalist]

Because we're secretly a Garulalurag pretending to be a person. Two heads.

[Says the mystery person, referencing some obscure children's bedtime storybook from Eos about a Garula with a head at both ends of its body, like a pushmi-pullyu from Dr. Doolittle.]

[parodeity]

the other guy is my imaginary friend tellius
he cooks

[lonered]

Wow.

Is this a new split personality, or is there someone with you?

Also. Salt can be mined. If there's a salt mine. That's all I've got. I'm not great at cooking... food... gardening. Things.

I am good at doing things people tell me, so I'll help with the whole. Planting. And uh... hoeing. You hoe gardens, right?

Anyway. I miss French fries.

[unfatalist]

When you talk to yourself, you're always guaranteed a riveting conversation with a brilliant and good-looking conversational partner.

Do we have a hoe?

FRENCH FRIES

sign me up for garden duty! i can take out any weeds there are all at once! if you need any rocks or tree stumps removed to make room for more crops i can do that too!

[That's what you did in H*rvest Moon so that's how it works in real life too, right?]

[parodeity]

all at once??
is there some kinda secret gardening technique i dont know about

[totheno1]

(color)

Theoretically, salt is mined either in caverns which could contain other materials, or the salt itself could be collected from drying or boiling seawater.

A simple container that can withstand heat could do, and depending on the quality of the salt water, could provide enough for multiple uses.

a pot would work
