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

[ 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! ]

[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?

[messianic]

[HMM...This is definitely not Dave.

Dave would die before using proper punctuation.]

If you mean for cutting potatoes, I've had a lot of practice in the kitchen. If you mean for anything else, I can't say I'm great with knives, but I could probably learn.

[unfatalist]

[They are apparently gardening wizards but not exactly what you might call subtle.]

For paring potatoes, specifically. Preparing them to plant more, to increase our supply.

[messianic]

[Ah.]

I think I can do that, yeah. I'm not super familiar with how to prepare them for planting specifically, but if you want to show me how or instruct me, I'll do my best.

[unfatalist]

It's not so difficult as you might think. It's mostly making sure each piece has two or three eyes to it and a sufficient amount of potato, from which the new plant can feed as it grows.

[messianic]

Got it. I can definitely do that. I'd like to help however I can, honestly, especially when it comes to food.

[unfatalist]

Have you been going hungry lately? Moreso than just being disappointed in the taste and texture of the available ingredients, I mean.

[messianic]

I've been okay, more or less. But eating berries and plants and things isn't very satisfying at all.

I'm not very good at cooking with things like this.

[With...wildlife things.]

[unfatalist]

When was the last time you had meat of any variety? Or fish, something that would give you a proper balance of nutrients.

[messianic]

Not since getting here, I guess. I'm not very familiar with how to hunt or fish, so...

[He is a sad pathetic city boy.]

[unfatalist]

...

Well, I'm already making one dinner out of sheer appallment. I might as well make it two. Find a knife and bring it down to the garden, you can put in some work while I get a proper meal going.

[messianic]

[That sounds immediately so appealing.]

Are you sure...? I'll gladly do the work, but...

[parodeity]

im led to believe 90% of gardening is weeding

[messianic]

Oh there you are. I knew the other reply couldn't be you, with the punctuation and all.

But weeding, huh... I think I can handle weeding.

[parodeity]

I can punctuate if I want to.

ok yeah that felt weird and made me look like rose
nah im too lazy to punctuate on the whole unless i gotta for emphasis you got it in a nutshell
thats tel

[messianic]

Yeah, it's just kind of weird coming from you.

I'm glad you figured out french fries though. Like....the beginning of french fries, anyway.

[parodeity]

we also have tomatoes and like the start of bread
wheat makes bread right
so
we are well on our way to pizza

[messianic]

Pizza sounds delicious right now.

I'm really excited for that. Next on the necessities list is rice then.

[parodeity]

idk how to garden that but since my gardening knowledge amounts to ask tel and hope he knows that isnt a surprise

man you know what i miss
aj

[messianic]

[??]

What's "aj"?

[parodeity]

you know
apple juice
the most important liquid substance known to man

[messianic]

[?????

He doesn't really. Drink a ton of juice? So, this is revelation.]

Is that how apple juice works?

[parodeity]

yes
i havent had any in
over three years
and my life sucks as a direct result of that

[messianic]

[What.]

How have you not had a kind of juice in three years?
