I had a bunch to share since I guess I passed out and woke up and now we're going places and making terrariums and I used eggcellent spell on potato made with potato spell for terrarium.



Σ(°△°|||)︴ What now?!

[ (A bunny just wandered in while he wasn't paying attention. But Taichi is not smart.)

OOC: also open to any action threads! He's hanging out with a red slime (familiar) and an Arkan Sonney in piglet form in the Celliwig Ruins if anyone wants to pester for action. ]

I can swim if you wanna teach me to fish! I really only know how to like, gather mushrooms and not get poisoned probably so far. I can't go super far under water though so itd be like.. shore fishing... and hunting maybe? It's an earnest request either way, that sounds like such a manly skill to have!

[mushroomaficionado]

Mushrooms you say?

That is a good skill to have.

And but of course, we can start off small. Though if we do go further out of the way, I can always pull you along, no need to worry on that account.

[arf]

Yeah! Sakyo-nii ambushed us by telling us we'd be going to a tropical island for a training camp, but it was really just a deserted island so we had to do everything ourselves. I took lots of notes in case in my notebook, Foraging Edible Mushrooms: Heart-wrenching Umami Adventures in Beachside Campfire Cuisine! Don't Die Edition!

[ There's no other edition, though. Taichi just loves making custom notebooks with tons of notes and stickers and personal anecdotes. ]

Thanks, dude. You must be ripped to be able to offer to swim me around the lake if I get tired. I won't be much use if we go too deep though, I can't breathe underwater! Though I guess I could heal you if you get into a fight with a shark or something!

[mushroomaficionado]

That sounds like a delightful time. Though if it's possible, I would like to see your notebook sometime. Mushrooms and wild plants in general are an interest of mine.

[Some might say obession.]

I guess I am in a sense 'ripped.' And I am sure we could find a water-breathing potion for you. And while I also have healing, it would be helpful to have a supplement.

[arf]

Sure! Heh, I need to update it with all the cool magical stuff here sometime... I hear there are a bunch of really awesome mushroom caves near the Celliwig ruins! Do you wanna go sometime?

You gotta show off sometime! There's nothing cooler than awesome muscles! Though I guess I'll see them in the water anyway! What's your secondary? I got technomancy, so I can transport anything cool we find home easy if we get someone to catch it out of the screen.

[mushroomaficionado]

I would be delighted. It's always a delight to go with someone who appreciates such things.

I see you have interesting tastes. And I have green magic, so I am sure it shall be helpful in case we come across any poisonous mushrooms or if we wish to preserve them.

[arf]

Cool! And if you can hunt, I guess you're good enough at fighting so we should be okay on defense right? I mean there's nothing super explicitly dangerous but it's always good to have a back-up plan. I know kung-fu but I've never fought with it before...

Ohh so you can grow mushrooms! If we find some new ones you can ask them how to grow baby mushrooms!

[ Is that how that works? ]

[mushroomaficionado]

I am indeed fairly skilled in fighting when need be, though realistically I prefer avoiding unwinnable situations.

And as far as I know, most of the mushrooms here cannot talk, unless you mean those villagers from a while back.

[No, it probably doesn't, Taichi.]

[arf]

I think everyone does. Hopefully we won't get into any!

Eh? I guess fungi aren't plants, huh.. they're... funguses.

[mushroomaficionado]

I am sure the two of us can manage. And if the worst happens, then it happens.

[Whatever that means.]

Not quite. They do have photosynthesis. And they have many qualities that make them different from the animal kingdom. It is really quite something.

[arf]

Is that how you dispel a jinx? I'm dismissing bad stuff too, so it won't happen!

You really like mushrooms huh? I don't know that much about them, can you teach me?

[mushroomaficionado]

Less 'dismissing' and more just accepting hardship. Life is full of surprises after all.

But of course, I do! There's no better life form on land. And I would be happy to!

[arf]

Heh, that's true!

I don't know, you and I are pretty cool and we're on land. (･ω<)☆

[mushroomaficionado]

[Is this guy real? Seriously? ]

Really? I mean I suppose if not for the legs, you would have a point.

[arf]

Eh!? What's wrong with legs? They're one of my best features!

[ One of the only parts of himself he's proud of!! He has nice... girl-like legs. Look, they come in handy when he has to play girls. ]

[mushroomaficionado]

They are very annoying to coordinate sometimes. It's so much more energy to move them.

[He grew up with one less appendage, so sometimes the way legs get tangled up in things is frustrating.]

[arf]

Heh, you should take up dancing! I know it looks complicated, but it's easier to move when it's to a rhythm, and you can advance with that and then walking will be a piece of cake!

[mushroomaficionado]

I've done a little dancing actively. I'm not as good as Floyd, but I'm leagues better than Azul. So something like that should be a snap.

[arf]

All it takes is practice and more practice! Though sometimes it's just fun to shake your booty and not worry about the precision stuff, too. What kind of dancing do you like?

[mushroomaficionado]

As I understand it, you are speaking from experience. You must be quite good.

And really, anything that's fun or light-hearted, such as at parties. We like music a lot where I come from, even if some of it is pretty dull. The music elsewhere is always more lively. Anything with a beat you can move to is good though.

[arf]

Heh, not to brag but I did get to dance back-up for RE:BERSERK once and I do a mean Single Fellas!

[ NOT THAT THE ENGLISH A3 EVER LET US HAVE THAT SSR BECAUSE THE OTHER GAME WASN'T RELEASED IN ENGLISH... ]

Hehe, wanna learn the Single Fellas dance with me!? I bet Azu-chan would make such a funny face if we flash mobbed him with it. Do you think your brother would want to do it too? It's a three-person dance in the original version.

[mushroomaficionado]

Incredible! You really an expert compared to me at least.

[Honestly, half his experience in dancing is either like he said parties or getting forced to by classmates.]

I haven't heard of that one, but it sounds delightful. And if we time it right, I'm sure that Floyd will gladly do it with us. Timing being key of course.

[arf]

Timing? Why? Do fish people transform during the full moon too?

[mushroomaficionado]

Nothing as inconvenient as that. My brother just has to be in the right mood. And even if he is, it doesn't always last for very long.

[arf]

We've gotta keep him excited then.. hehe, maybe I'll plan surprise fireworks toward the middle of the dance!
