Who: emblica
Broadcast: fleet-wide; voice
Action: it can be for the sake of threads
When: right...now. idk. sometime when the pathstone is at a waystation.

If anyone is interested in having food for their ships, I've been growing some of the vegetables that were provided at the stations. Unfortunately, I now have too many on hand, and they're becoming difficult to store. I'd appreciate if others would be willing to take some for their own ships.

[ A pause, then: ]

That is all.

You were successful, then!

voice;

[amarant]

Not through normal means. I suppose I lost track of time while I grew them, and there really are too many.

The captains will notice soon if I don't get rid of some.

voice forever;

[aberrant_type]

I'll gladly take a few. I do wonder what the situation is like on the other ships, those that aren't part of our fleet. Perhaps you could barter your fresh vegetables for other things?

[amarant]

I'd rather not deal with them.

[ Woah, that's mean. ]

[oh good he doesn't have to nag her into getting some potatoes.]

[Crowley is not leaving his bed, not for anything.]

Is that what you've been doing in the medbay all this time?

Voice

[amarant]

[ It takes her a second to realize why the voice is not coming from...you know, near her. ]

Yes, I must have lost track of the time.

Voice

[onlyanapple]

[Sorry, you're running the ship alone, godspeed, and all that.]

Huh. You really have turned out to be useful, then. Who knew.

Voice

[amarant]

[ Eh, what else is new, captain? ]

...good to know I can impress.

[He sounds tired, and stuffed up. But really, this is great timing after he just got through a discussion with his crewmate who wants to keep RATS as a back up food supply.]

I'll be happy to take some off your hands.

voice;

[amarant]

Please, take as many as you want. Good food is hard to come by here. I'm not sure if this counts, but it's better than what we've had.

voice;

[save_the_souls]

Thank you, Emblica. I'm sure they'll be a nice treat.

Is there anything I should know about taking care of them?

voice;

[amarant]

They hold up quite nicely-- the ones I've had longest still seem to be fine. No special care is needed.

Never thought you could grow anything in space, really. [ he's legitimately surprised. the crappy sci-fi movies jill marathons on a slow saturday have lied to him. ] How'd you manage that?

[amarant]

[ No, they were probably right. ]

I'm just good with plants, I suppose.

[ It was magic. She grew them with magic. ]

[siegel]

Ah, all right. [ he won't press on it, especially with the response they've got. ] Good job on growing 'em, though. What did you end up planting?

[amarant]

At the waystation a while back, they were selling packages of food, including root vegetables. I've been growing more of them so that we don't run out, and...I must have gone a bit overboard.

voice

[birdsbirdsbirds]

Oh, slick. I'll take some off your hands.

voice

[amarant]

I'd appreciate it.

--oh, and I'm sorry for being short with you when you came to visit. It wasn't anything to do with you.

voice

[birdsbirdsbirds]

[a pause while he... remembers what she was talking about...]

Oh, you know. I just assumed you weren't feeling well, or something.

text!

[torsion]

That's a good thing, isn't it?
Is there soil on your ship?

Though I wouldn't be surprised were the vegetables able to grow under strange circumstances that make no sense where I come from, come to think of it.

Re: text!

[amarant]

It is a good thing, though I'm running out of space for them. I'd rather give them away than have to worry about them rotting.

I don't have soil, but I grew them in water.

[ It's a lie, but more believable than "I grew them with magic." ]

[torsion]

Fair enough.
I'd like some, then, if you don't mind. I'll owe you one for it?
They were root vegetables, though, right?

I've heard stranger.

[ Magic would also be weird, but it's not something she's sure she could completely wrap her mind around. Not quite yet, anyway. ]
