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 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?

[parodeity]

spent the last three years on a meteor hurtling through space
we only had what we had on us or could alchemize

[messianic]

Sometimes I think you must be making some of this up, but you don't really seem like the type, so then I just have to believe you, even though it sounds crazy.

[parodeity]

my lies tend to be more mundane than elaborate

[messianic]

You know, I can somehow believe that too.

Regardless, there are apples here, right? So you can probably have apple juice.

[parodeity]

yeah izukus bringing me some seeds for them
so if the tree experiment works that could be pretty cool

[messianic]

It'd be nice to have more variety too... I hope it works.

I want to eat more proper meals here, it'd make this entire place less depressing.

[parodeity]

i guess
i never really cooked much even back on earth tbh
but its nice to eat things other people made ive decided

[messianic]

Yeah, it definitely is. It's nice to eat real meals whenever we can. It's just better that way, I think.

[He is a big fan of food--but also of the little details it implies, the way that, if you're having a properly cooked meal, you're at least a little settled and comfortable, instead of constantly moving around or not knowing where you'll be the next day.

Sometimes, those little things are what you need.]

[parodeity]

i always kind of wanted to do that thing
on tv shows you know where you sit down to big family meals or whatever
i think that could be kind of cool to do

[messianic]

[... Oh, Dave. Minato can't say that he doesn't understand that wish. He'd had it a lot himself growing up. Bouncing from house to house, but never having a proper home... foster parents, but also so many people who didn't have a shred of time for him.

He hadn't had a proper meal like that until...SEES.]

Let's do it. Let's get a bunch of people together and cook some things and have a proper dinner around a table. We might have to make sure that we have a table sturdy enough, but we can do that too.

[parodeity]

i mean itd be pretty cool if people werent like too busy for it sometime
we have food that tastes like stuff it could be celebratory

[messianic]

I think everyone will be willing. It sounds kind of nice to me, too.

I'll see what I can do... but I'll be looking forward to it, too.

[parodeity]

then of course we have to stage a dramatic family fight and someone has to be sent to their room
for versimilitude

[messianic]

Preferences on any of the roles you'll play in this family drama?

[parodeity]

the moody teenager whose taste in music no one else can understand
bc they arent hip enough

[messianic]

I can't imagine why that's the role you want the most. It's a shock.

[parodeity]

would you believe youre not even the most deadpan person ive ever met

[messianic]

Really? I'd like to meet someone like that...

[parodeity]

if kanaya or rose ever show up ill personally introduce you

[messianic]

Thanks, I appreciate it. Do you really think more people are going to show up here at some point?

[parodeity]

im assuming yes until proven otherwise tbh
bc we dont know why we showed up here
so that thing could happen again
or keep happening
hard to say unless and until it does
