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.

[eudaimonikos]

Thanks, but you wouldn't stay dead. Right?

[He seems more bemused than concerned, although that's just because he's also pretty sure she's fine.]

[phaseflex]

Not here, apparently. [the concept doesn't seem to bother her too much, but amara is nothing if not good at keeping that sort of thing close to her chest.] Though that does make me wonder if it could affect you here, too.

...


...You don't feel sick, do you?

[eudaimonikos]

I feel fine.

[Though it's an interesting thought...he spins the flower's stem between his fingers thoughtfully.]

I know I don't have human biology. Haven't been eating regularly or anything, and it's fine. But I guess they could have just...shoved some more weaknesses in there.

1/2 i'm sorry

[phaseflex]

I guess they're going to be things more readily apparent. I mean, would you even know what starving feels like if you're not used to eating?

[shit. she's kind of concerned about this guy now? damn it.]

[phaseflex]

[and then she abruptly throws a punch at his stomach.]

[eudaimonikos]

Not sure. I would assume it hur - kkk!

[Michael, who did not see the punch coming at all, reacts about the same as anybody would when punched in the stomach!]

What the fuck?

[phaseflex]

[a stupid move, considering she knows michael isn't human and is capable of some things, but not what. for all she knows, he could've opened up a mouth in his stomach and torn her arm off!

...there was only really one way to find out about that, wasn't there?]

Sorry. That was for science.

[eudaimonikos]

Why?

[Well, at least he doesn't seem angry? Although he's certainly kind of upset. He's shaking it off fairly quickly, though - when you start in Human Relations, they teach you about what human pain feels like, and the lessons go a lot harder than a punch to the gut.]
