> Roxy: Make a special (telepathic) announcement.

[voidkatini]

[ Roxy is very excited; this is something she's been working on secretly for months now. If you were annoyed by all of the pumpkins around the base, don't worry-- it's about to pay off. Her compulsive voidy-thinging of pumpkins eventually rewarded her with a monstrosity of a plant. She was able to gene-sequenced it, splicing and separating the DNA into two different plants: grapes and cocoa. They were planted on Mountain Island months ago, in a secret location she affectionately refers to as "The Garden of Weedin'". Not even Dirk knew of it's location, and he's been privy to the secret project from the start.

Her voice is loud and giddy in your head, broadcasted to whoever is within reach. She's been dying to surprise everyone for what feels like forever! ]

Sup guys! Ro-Lal here with a heads up: we have grapes and cocoa beans now? But they ain't ready yet. I'll need loootsa help harvesting them soon. The grapes should be ready in a few weeks, 'n the cocoa beans should be ready by the end of next month. If you wanna help, lemme know. Hot, shirtless hunks are encouraged to volunteer. Pantsless hunks are fine, too. Shirtless and pantsless hunks should just disregard this announcement and come see me immediately. Hahaha, wooooonk.

Aight, later darlings. Mwah! [ smooches ♥ ]

[Don's going to ignore the whole shirtless-and-pantsless thing (especially since it applies to him, oops) and just zero in on the important things here.]

Cocoa beans? Here? Where'd you find them, Roxy? Was there a seed bank somewhere that we missed?

[Mild mental consternation. Don thought he was up to date with all the goings-on!]

[voidkatini]

[ But that's the most important part! ]

Naaaah, nothin' like that, Donny boy. I kept using my powers trying to voidy-thing something useful and then poof! Made this totes rad plant with effin' spikes that no one's seen before? I think. Either way it was super cool but I haven't been able to do it since. Hence all the pumpkins, siiiigh.

[ That doesn't explain anything. ]

[bonomial]

You just pulled a plant out of nowhere?!

[Firstly, that is amazing. Secondly, how?! Why are there teenagers that are just... casually overpowered everywhere here? Geez.]

[voidkatini]

Yup.

[ Roxy explains so much? He can ask her as many questions as he wants though, she doesn't mind. ]

Cool, huh? ... is what I wanna say, but it's totes not. My powers aren't what they used to be.

[bonomial]

Sheesh, what's with the casual reality-breaking around here? It's even worse than it was back at the Tribunal. [Don is only half-joking, though, and to keep his mental tone from getting too accidentally dour, he continues:] Anyway, so you were able to pull this weird plant into existence... but it had both grape and cocoa genetics in it? Was it some kind of mutant plant?

[The incredulity in his voice suggests that this seems like a really inefficient way to make a plant.]

[voidkatini]

[ It's definitely weird. Roxy didn't know what to make of it at all when she first saw it. ]

How 'bout I just show it to you sometime? I still have the original.

[bonomial]

Anything stopping you from making sometime 'within the next half-hour'? I don't have any obligations.

[Yes, he is excited to see the weird mutant plant, why do you ask?]

[voidkatini]

Just tell me where you want me to be in a half hour and I'll be there with bells on, darling. So will my plant.

[ More like covered in cats, but whatever. ]

[bonomial]

Gotcha. How about meeting at the tech labs? If we're going to be doing some analysis, I can't think of a better place to be.

[It will take Don significantly less than half an hour to get there, mostly because he was practically already hanging around there anyway.]
