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! ]

technically none since im at my house
bc these laptops hate field trips
but the garden is at

[ DIRECTIONS ]

and youre welcome to stop by ruga
and no clue re the trees
itd just be me freestyling and hoping

[inheritance]

Do you want me to stop by your house first? We could walk over to the garden together.

Or we could meet at the garden since you've already given me directions.

[parodeity]

im down to meet you in the garden sure thing
now or in like half an hour?

[inheritance]

Half an hour it is! I’ll see you there!

[And sure enough, Izuku meanders his way over to the garden around that time, crouching down to examine the color plants that Dave’s grown with his time powers.]

[parodeity]

[ half an hour is enough time for dave to stop messing around with his post, and he'll show up pretty much Exactly half an hour from the message. the garden consists of the plants mentioned up ^ there and they are definitely further along in their life cycle than they should be...bless. ]

Hey, man. I feel like I should be shifty and ask if you got the goods?

[inheritance]

[Izuku cracks a smile at that before holding up a tiny box for Dave to take.]

Got them right here.

[parodeity]

So where all did you find 'em? [ he reaches out for the box, opening it to see what he has to work with. he's at least kind of made an area ready to plant them.

you know, where trees would look Aesthetically Pleasing rather than by any other consideration. ]

[inheritance]

[There's a handful of the seeds that he's plucked out from apples he's eaten... though they're still, sadly, a greyish looking color.]

In the forest. I found a couple apple trees in there and some berry bushes.

[Izuku watches him expectantly.] So...what do you think? Would these work?

[parodeity]

Yeah, should do. [ he's like, weighing them in his hand. but then he'll stoop to plant them in a row.

he

tries to accommodate for how large trees can grow, so they're pretty spaced out. ]

Okay, I'm not sure how dramatic this will look from the outside?

[inheritance]

[Izuku's just watching him work, but he looks up and blinks at the question.]

Hm? What's dramatic? [Then, he lights up.] Oh, you're going to use your time powers now! [Don't mind him just jumping to his feet and looking as excited as a kid on Christmas.]

[parodeity]

Yep. Not sure how much you'll see, but...

[ because it's up to you. can izuku see game abstractions? if so, there's a cut in of gears and the sound of ticking clocks as dave crouches, a glow of red as he reaches for the flow of time that always lays straight behind his heartbeat and twists it.

even if he can't see any of that, he can definitely see the sudden sprout of green plantlife - little sprouts that aren't that big, but definitely growing up a little faster than usual.

they even out at a miniature height when he lets go, though. ]

[inheritance]

[Though most of it is invisible to Izuku, the reddish glow and the new plant life definitely isn't. He gasps with genuine delight as the plants grow right before his eyes.]

That's amazing, Strider-kun! I've never really seen anyone manipulate plants with their powers like this before. Oh, I guess the closest thing would be Kamui Woods or even Shiozaki-san from class 1-B? But they were just manipulating parts of their own bodies while manipulating time like you are is much trickier... [Izuku's voice drops low as he begins to mutter to himself, still crouched down beside the young trees.] There must be something different about their physical makeup that allows them to grow their plants at a much faster rate than this. Their own energy and nutrition, perhaps, like Yaoyorozu-san...

[parodeity]

I mean, I'm manupulatin' the timeline, basically, yeah, so I can't speak to growing plants. But a person with a quirk would need like...outside energy, is what you're saying?

[inheritance]

Something like that. They are creating something from their own body, and that energy has to come from somewhere.

[Izuku reaches out to touch the new apple plants gently.] So you're just speeding things up... it doesn't tire you out at all?

[parodeity]

Nah, it does, like any skill. I just don't do it enough I'd pass out or whatever - I know how to monitor how much I can take?

[ he's being careful mostly to avoid getting scolded tho tbh... ]

[inheritance]

That's good. [Avoiding being scolded..Izuku knows how that feels.]

Having that kind of control is definitely a good thing. Even if you're helping us by growing these plants with your powers, it shouldn't be at risk to yourself, you know?

[parodeity]

Yeah, well. It'd be kind of dumb to waste myself on this and then have something like life or death come up, also?

[inheritance]

At least you know it! [Which is more than his friends can say for Izuku, to be honest.

Izuku gently touches the apple sprouts again.]

How long until these will be able to bear fruit, do you think?

[parodeity]

I think a few weeks. They're like...about a year's growth in a week is what I can manage, maybe.
