Eels. We saw it in the hydroponics area. There's a room for preparing all the bland food they provide for us out there, and it's all just eels.

[solesuccess]

That....seriously? [ he's not even entirely opposed to the idea since eating eels is a real thing but what the fuck. ] Did you ask senior care what that's all about?

[teenrebellion]

[ yeah like he's had eel before but not like that. dislike that. ]

No, I was a little more concerned with the plant monster that was trying to kill us at the time.

[solesuccess]

[ i'm glad my phone changed crew to care. that's fine. anyway. ]

What plant monster now?

[teenrebellion]

Ah.

[ just "ah" ]

We went through a bunch of time loops in there, and there was this thing following us that got closer each time. It was this plant monster - branches for limbs, covered in cherry blossoms. It tried to impale us both on the last loop.

It's always plants in this place.

[solesuccess]

What. [ WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS SHIP :yell: he looks extremely baffled suddenly. ] I see...it really is always plants in this place.

[ wild...he seems to think it's fine since obviously everybody got out unharmed, but jesus. ]

How'd you guys even get out of there if it was a bunch of loops? What was causing them?

[teenrebellion]

No idea. We just... didn't go in, the last time. I feel like if we did, we may not have come back out at all.

[ which he's alarmingly chill about right now but that's. fine. he is alive now. ]

[solesuccess]

You know, kinda glad you chose not to? Believe it or not I do like having you guys around. [ like yeah, sure, people die weekly, but why do we need more death? ]

[teenrebellion]

Yeah, I kind of like being alive? And it was way too much like Verdure.

[solesuccess]

That plant planet you guys went to, right? [ ... ] Seriously, how do you keep getting involved in plants?

[teenrebellion]

I would love to know so we could stop getting involved with them. I'm sick of it and I'm never going to another garden again.

[solesuccess]

[ help. ]

Yeah, uh. I definitely don't blame you. This is getting kind of ridiculous.

[teenrebellion]

[ when you think about it this trauma really does extend to canon too since shit keeps happening in shinjuku garden. hateful. ]

I don't even really get it. First there's plants, and then there's flesh rooms? Like, make up your mind.

[solesuccess]

[ i. hate that. ]

What if they're all connected...like a plant hybrid.

[teenrebellion]

[ wrinkles his nose. ]

Gross. I think I hate that even more.

[solesuccess]

And yet it's a very, very real possibility. That's the problem... [ don't just sound calm about that. ]

[teenrebellion]

...Guess we have to consider all the options, anyway.

[ hate that they're both just vibing about this thanks ]

[solesuccess]

...tomorrow problem? [ perhaps they can simply continue to vibe. ]

[teenrebellion]

[ nods. ]

Tomorrow problem. [ ... ] Or Sunday, maybe. Tomorrow is the usual trial.

[solesuccess]

Actually, now that you said it? Sunday sounds a lot better. We always have half a day to ourselves to do nothing.

[teenrebellion]

Mm, yeah. Kind of feels like a waste of time, sometimes. I've mostly just spent that time playing because there's not much else to do, anyway.

[solesuccess]

Not a bad use of time. Not like there's a lot of other days you can actually get some practice in anyway. We're always so busy.

[teenrebellion]

Busy or cursed.

[solesuccess]

Sometimes both... [ almost serenely. ] Oh well. Thoughts for later.
