man
fuck cults

[eudaimonikos]

That is a big mood.

[Michael: Hip with that Modern Human Lingo]

Let's talk about hanging out instead.

[phaseflex]

cool
where does the afterlife guy frequent?

[eudaimonikos]

I work at Hair of the Dog, so honestly, not too interested in being there on my off-hours.

There's other bars around, though, right?

[To be entirely honest, Michael doesn't entirely know how normal hanging out works? Things are different in the afterlife; you can do whatever there, in theory, even if most of his real hangouts have been in a classroom. He's going primarily on Eleanor and Jason's experiences here. Chidi didn't really hang out, and Tahani's life is just rich and unrealistic.]

[phaseflex]

sure
if you're okay with bars
i mean we could go check the new plants, too

up to you my afterlife guy
dealer's choice

[eudaimonikos]

Ooh! I didn't know plants were an option!

[phaseflex]

everything is an option!

except the hair of the dog
we have ruled that one out

i have found some plants from partali
are there plants native to the afterlife?
maybe some of those are around

[eudaimonikos]

No, nothing is native to the afterlife except for angels, demons, and accountants.
Maybe that's why I like plants so much?

I'm a little undecided on animals. Not much experience with them.

[phaseflex]

why am i not surprised accountants
maybe so
or maybe just because they're cool?

there are a lot of deers around this month, it seems

[eudaimonikos]

Yeah, does that mean something?

[phaseflex]

the town is called DEERington

[...............that's a no.]

[eudaimonikos]

Okay.

[He's gonna take that as a no?]

Well, let's go see if there's any neat plants. I made one that ate people, one time!

[phaseflex]

nice
did it sing, too?

where would you like to meet?

[eudaimonikos]

No, but I did hear a lot about that afterwards.

Where are you coming from? I live in David Cliff.

[phaseflex]

i've found it a lot more enjoyable to escape being eaten by something if it sings well

flatwoods point
on the outskirts
looks like we're both about equidistant

[eudaimonikos]

I'm not sure "enjoyable" is what I was going for at the time.

[He left out the singing for a valid reason!]

We can just meet up in the middle, then.
Mess with some plants. 🌱👀

[phaseflex]

what about singing just off-key? or a really catchy tune in a language you can't parse, so you can't look it up later?

[she says this having no idea what it was michael did before!]

i'll see you there, afterlife guy

[eudaimonikos]

Those are both pretty good.

[he probably did the off-key thing at one point or another, he did enough karaoke and the like with them]

Okay, brt.

(That means be right there.)

[human chatspeak!!!]

[phaseflex]

[she does know what that means but she'll let michael have this. amara does not mention her knowledge.

she'll be waiting for michael, standing by a particularly big but harmless plant. it's... glowing? alien plants, man.]

[eudaimonikos]

[HUMAN CHATSPEAK SUCCESS!!!!

Anyway, he'll be along, smiling and breaking into a brisk stride when he sees her.]

Oh, hey! Look at that one!

[phaseflex]

Right? [she reaches out to poke flick some of the spikes on it.] I think this is familiar... not from this planet! No idea what it's called, though.

Look, the flowers look like little bowties!

[eudaimonikos]

They do! [he's just gonna pick one!] That's probably not poisonous, right?

[phaseflex]

[amara just puffs her cheeks up and shrugs.]

Does it matter if they are? They wouldn't have evolved to be able to poison whatever you are, would they? No offense?

[eudaimonikos]

Not at all, but it's good to know these things! You can be poisoned, can't you?

[phaseflex]

Unfortunately. I wouldn't be surprised to see if the resistances I have don't matter here.

[they're not natural resistances, either. she's been poisoned enough by rad weapons and corrosive ones that she's built up a small immunity. not much, but enough.]

If this kills me you can have my knives.
