TFTC: The Experiment

You are back with us on Jobbie Studios catch up, if you feel that you do not have a life, well now you do! Thanks Zamnesia and Plagron, this is fun! Now for your fun, the next episode of "TFTC: The Experiment". {--💩===👻---💀===👽---[:(⚪⬜🔺) oO===Oo (🔺⬜⚪):]---👽===💀---👻===💩---} The flowers have grown lots of little white hairs, they are not pretty like a rose or tulip, more like some sort of alien species, if I came across this plant in the wild I would not touch it. The plant no longer grows bigger, just the flowers continue to develop, getting bigger, adding more of these white hairs. A bit of the excitement has gone now from the plants, possibly because I do not know what is going on, but maybe I could some how find out. Our little community is doing well, we had just started constructing some temporary accommodation, no time to make anything permanent, but having extra beds is always a plus, especially when summer comes and people wont want to sleep in a concrete chamber any more. A foraging party was going out in the morning, seeing a great opportunity to skip building things, I jumped on the chance to get out, the walks were also nice, every corner gave you a sense of excitement, like discovering something new. We were out and everyone was busy collecting food, not wanting to be the odd one out I grabbed my sack and found a small tree with large green berries on them, they smelt sweet and had smooth skin, they looked good, but as I went to pick one a voice came from behind me saying to wait. Confused about being halted in something that to my mind was helping, I asked why they suggested not yet. No, it wouldn't kill me, but when you know as little as me about plants then when someone tells you not to pick something the first thought will likely be the worst, then you work backwards. The fruit was not ready yet, the person said that they would be bitter and unpleasant, also the seeds have not developed, seeds we could use to propagate more of these plants. While we were returning, after the helpful circle showed me a patch of garlic and asked me to pick leaves (my hands now stink of Garlic, many jokes were made about this), they would go nicely in our food as garlic is delicious. On the journey my mind wandered a little, thinking about todays lesson and the plants hidden in my corner of the lab which no one visited. Maybe if I did not know what to look for in the plants to tell me they are ripe then how would I know what to do with them, but then again, the fruit today was not ripe and yet no hesitation was given when reaching out. We got back and helped make dinner, the small hut for beds was habitable, the couple who had met very quickly decided to move out of the bunker very quickly, no one jumped at the opportunity to join them sleeping outside, however the tracker did laugh at them and said it was their funeral, that temperatures can still drop close to freezing and if it rains they could get soaked. Although we had medical supplies, it was always prudent to begin practices to prevent avoidable requirements which would deplete our stores, after all, we can’t just pop to the pharmacy and get more. So they had a choice to make; stay and not have privacy and get to make all the noise you want, or stay in the hatch, be safe and annoy everyone else. They decided to sleep on it, in the bunker. There was a lesson to learn here, it relates to the plants. I will need to find out what to outlook for, also what this might be useful for, after all, everyone else has been productive creating important survival tools, me, well my idea for a village council and form of communal ritualism to bond people was met with rolled eyes and skepticism. This coming week would be the time to seek a botanist who might be able to help, as for now, it was my stasis pod and sleep. {--💩===👻---💀===👽---[:(⚪⬜🔺) oO===Oo (🔺⬜⚪):]---👽===💀---👻===💩---} With many thanks to Plagron and Zamnesia, now let us hurry to the next episode, not like it will be here for ages and you can look at it another time.
