[ Today is a Great Day. Double-capital letters, underlined with sparkles and everything. You could even call it the Greatest of days and it shows in Aidan's face as he flicks on the video function. ]

I got some great news, guys! I talked to th' wardens earlier today, an' it turns out they'll sponsor us with equipment and plants for th' memorial garden! I went ahead and claimed a spot in sector 4, so we should be able to get started any day now!

So, uh... yeah! That's comin' along! Lemme know if you've had any more ideas since th' last meetin'.

[ Aidan can be found down in the sector 4 gardening plots all afternoon, working up a sweat through weeding both his own recently claimed plot and the one for the memorial garden. Extremely amazingly good mood! Gardening does the soul good! ]

	[ It should be so much more disturbing than it is, but living with Helix for all this time (and ten months with a band of guerilla soldiers) has desensitized him to dangerous levels. Instead he just watches, somewhat impressed with the wild abandon Cal is displaying here. ] Wow, you're a natural. Sure would've liked to have you at th' farm 'round harvest time.

Of course I am.

[It's definitely not the best thing he could be doing, but it's also not the worst, too.]

[Caliborn also finds it surprisingly more tiring than he thought it would be, but eh. He figures that he'll get stronger, and that's never a bad thing.]

Aidan human. You will tell me more about this "harvest time." As I presume it is also filled with gratuitous green mass murder.

I guess you could call it that... alright. I'll tell you. [ Settle in, boys and girls! ] So, at th' beginnin' of spring we sow the fields. Wheat, rye, oats... sugar beets. Y'know, whatever we're growin' in that field on that year. [ He could go into the science of crop rotation, but won't. ]

They grow all summer an' then by the time autumn rolls around, it's time to harvest. You gotta do this quickly, cause you wanna leave it out as long as possible so everythin's good an' ripe... but if you wait too long it'll be ruined by rain or frost. 's kinda a gamble, y'know?

	[This all sounds very remarkably boring, which is disappointing, but Caliborn is in a good mood. Good enough to where he's extending some small token of tolerance.] Yeah. I guess. [Or mostly he gets that being a human is fucking boring.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ Noticing that, so let's pump it up a little bit. It's not really exciting, just hard work but choice of words can mean a lot. ] Okay so... harvest time means we take these big machines an' massacre th' fields. Just cut th' whole lot down in one go, gatherin' up th' spoils. Sometimes we spend th' entire day just yankin' up shit from th' ground. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[That's certainly more his speed.] Good. You will stop talking about harvesting now. Unless. You have plants that happen to bleed or scream. Or attempt to fight back. [... please have those.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-12 12:22 pm UTC (link)
	Sorry, no plants like that... we got chickens an' pigs though. They squeal an' squawk pretty good durin' slaughter. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-13 02:40 am UTC (link)
	[THAT part he didn't need to be told about, even if he's never actually personally witnessed food-animals up for slaughter.] [So he'll just grace Aidan with a really gross and creepy smirk.] And immediately after. They taste fucking delicious. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yeah? You like your meat still wrigglin', huh? [ Seemingly undisturbed by this and that in itself should probably count as disturbing. ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-13 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	[It SOUNDS good, but Caliborn doesn't see any reason to pretend and boast.] Yeah. I'd probably love the shit out of it. But. I've never had it fresh. All our meat was. Alchemized and butchered already. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-13 08:02 pm UTC (link)
	Huh... that's a shame. [ Pondering. ] Hey... you like fish? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-13 08:06 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn sits back. His muscles are already sore from exertion. He rolls his shoulders.] The real question is. Do I want to try eating something. That unforgivably ugly? Fish are the second-ugliest thing. In paradox space. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-15 10:08 pm UTC (link)
	[ He wouldn't make out with a fish, but ugly? Huh. ] Yeah? What's th' ugliest thing then? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-15 10:25 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn grins stupidly wide.] My sister. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ . . . ] You know you guys look a lot alike, right? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-17 07:01 pm UTC (link)
	[He is only slightly deflated that Aidan didn't immediately get it or agree.] Yeah. Actually. We're nearly identical? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-17 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	So... if your sister is th' ugliest thing in the universe... what does that make you? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-17 07:32 pm UTC (link)
	[He sighs, sitting back on his heels in order to properly explain.] She and I. Are equally the ugliest thing. The difference is. She's a girl. And girls should be hot. Or at least attractively ugly. You following me, bro? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-18 07:36 pm UTC (link)
	... [ This sounds so familiar, oh god. ] Have you been talkin' to Sougo, by any chance? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-18 07:41 pm UTC (link)
	That Japanese guy? Nah. Does he have an ugly sister, too? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-18 07:43 pm UTC (link)
	He's got a sister... well, had. She's pretty, I met her once. Well, talked to her. He just talks kinda like you. About how girls should be hot an' all that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-18 07:47 pm UTC (link)
	It's pretty much a thing. That everyone can agree with. Everywhere. Do you have a dearth of mind-blowing babes. That forces you to take what you can get? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	redclayheroics 2013-07-18 07:49 pm UTC (link)
	A what? [ So many ten dollar words, Cal. ] Nah... we had plenty of pretty girls back home. I mean, we had average girls too but some of 'em were kinda... y'know. Mind blowin'. Don't matter much, I'm into guys. I think. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ophiuchus 2013-07-18 07:54 pm UTC (link)
	[Caliborn has heard this concept before, but it still isn't something he's easily able to wrap his mind around.] [He regards Aidan for a moment, and then decides to grace him with a little sweet dab of bizarre wisdom.] Aidan, bro. I'm aaaall about my dudepals. I get that. But. Why wouldn't you want a bitch tossed in the mix. For sweet, sultry flavor? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
