[Fern is a bit nervous doing a video for the network. He usually prefers text, but he's trying to be a little more upfront about his plantness, and it's pretty relevant to what he wants to talk about. So here he goes!]

Hey, I'm Fern, if we haven't already met, and uh, as you can see I'm made of grass. I wanted to thank everyone for the help with the dirt last month, between that and the composting we've started and Varian improving his alchemical plant solution I should be okay.

[So that's taken care of! He grows a little more nervous before continuing, though, because this next part isn't easy for him to talk about.]

I wanted to talk about something else, too. I got tree senses now too, and I wanted to let people know, 'cause I kinda... picked up on what Cynthia's flowers were putting out. Not just that chill feeling, they, um...

[Geez, where does he even start with this? He runs an anxious hand through his hair.]

I grocked how they were feeling when they died. It was painful which, duh, they died. But they also felt really... sweet? Bittersweet's the word? Like they were okay with it. Fulfilled.

[He has to bite back a shiver as he remembers the punch in the face that was their feelings as the mass die-off happened.]

Anyways, that's a thing now. This works with other plants too, and mushrooms. Those new mushrooms that started showing up? They all feel pretty freaked out. It's - um, it's not great. It works on normal mushrooms too, so if you got some of those or plants or whatever and you wanna know what's going on with them, I can try to understand 'em for you. [He can't guarantee anything good, but it is what it is and the least he can do is try to help people with it.] I can grow stuff, too, like coffee or tea or whatevs. The growing part's easy.

[With that said, he straightens up a little.]

Also, for all you people I'm helping with fighting, we're gonna keep going with our lessons! This place is dangerous, so no slacking off. If anyone else wants to learn how to fight or defend yourself I can show you some stuff, I'm good with a whole bunch of weapons and my fists! [He raises a fist and determinedly punches the air.] I'm even thinking about building a whole new gauntlet here for you guys to test your skills! It'll be sick.

[Death trap obstacle courses are totally normal things to want to build! At any rate, he's said what he wanted to say, and switches off the feed.]

[Varian, on the other hand, sounds pretty damn smug about the entire thing.]

You sure are! How hard your life is, truly.

[it's just the life he has to live now, he chose this. ]

Oh wow, a fart? That bad? Tragic!

I'm playing you a tiny, tiny violin.

So sad.
droptheious: (If you even notice me)

I'm glad to be of service. Call on me anytime.

[And then, to add insult to injury:]

:)

[Varian's using them especially for him.]

Okay. Hang up then.

:)
droptheious: (See all the accolades)

You don't like my smilies?

[Sometimes that just happens.]

:( :( :(

This makes me sad.

:( :( :(

(You can tell I'm sad because the faces are sad :( )

Also, you haven't hung up yet :)

[Even if he knows Fern won't get it until he turns his Omni on again:]

Rude :(
