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! ]

Shovels or trowels, stakes and twine, something to letter a sign with so that we can tell the crops apart at a glance...

Additionally, we're very much in the market for any new crops we might add to the endeavor, if you happen to stumble across something we don't yet have.

[lonered]

What's a trowel?

And I have a pen I borrowed from Yusuke.

Sure. What've you go? I'll see if I come across anything else.


[...which he actually will because he's got a woodsy outing that is likely to end in veggies.]

[unfatalist]

It'll look something like this.

At present we've got potatoes, tomatoes, onions, peppers, and wheat planted. I believe we're attempting to expand our operations into fruits next.

[lonered]

Okay. Got it. That's pretty good, you know.

Fruits would be good. I'll see what I can find.

I'm not going to lie, I haven't eaten actual normal food in, like, a year. It's a little exciting.

[unfatalist]

...In a YEAR?

What have you been eating, if not "normal" food?

[lonered]

About that. It's honestly sort of hard to keep track of time in space.

Uh... "food goo" of various sorts. Sort of an alien nutritional... paste. Stuff. It's not terrible. It's got everything you need to keep you alive and healthy.

[unfatalist]

..."Goo".

Very well. Go find those implements and bring them to the garden this instant. A legitimate supper will be waiting upon your arrival.

[lonered]

It really sounds worse than it is.

I mean, the green stuff is probably better than the purple stuff. Alteans cared more about taste than the Galra.

But yessir. On it.

[unfatalist]

Food best described as "stuff" is barely justifiable as food to begin with.

[lonered]

Hunk would agree with you. Sometimes he'd find some ingredients on whatever planet we were on and do his best with them. Honestly he was pretty good at it.

But sometimes you just really miss sandwiches. And fries.

[unfatalist]

Duly noted. Any food allergies I should be aware of?

[lonered]

Nope. Nothing like that at all.

[unfatalist]

Marvelous. A sandwich and fries it is, then.

[lonered]

Yeah?

That is way more than a fair deal. I'll do my best.

[parodeity]

oh hey speaking of food allergies
if you see a kid with stupid blue eyes and an overbite dont ever feed him peanuts

[unfatalist]

Do we HAVE peanuts?

[parodeity]

honestly idk i just figure that john wont tell anyone about his dumbass allergy so if i tell enough people
maybe he wont die if it ever becomes relevant
