Alert: these plants are fucked. I've never seen anything like this. They think in words. It's all the mother this and the mother that, and they don't respond to me like regular plants would. The root system is incomprehensible.

Oh and I'm almost certain it's them making people walk around like they're made out of warped wood. Something in their pollen, probably, which means breathing the air around them is a really bad idea, except they're practically everywhere so it's not easy to avoid. I think one of them might have got me earlier, since I have no memory of walking all the way out of town.

I know Vallo likes to cook up exciting things for us to deal with on occasion, but this has a parasitic sort of feel and I don't like it at all.

	For a second there I thought this said "These plants fucked" and I was about to be like "blimey, good for you plants". Uh is there anything to do about this? That we normal folk can help with? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Honestly? No idea. My usual methods aren't exactly working, but I'm really about helping plants, not... making them less predator-y. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Right well you're in a better position than I am! I'll update if I have any visions that are-- helpful? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Does that happen a lot? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	They're talking about a mother? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And I quote, 'the the Mother knows', 'the Mother understands', 'the Mother is love', etc. or variations thereof. I don't want to turn my magical awareness all the way off for obvious reasons, but it's really irritating. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Well, that's entirely off-putting. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Just got my first taste this morning. Can't say that I'm a fan. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	It seems relatively harmless - for a certain given value of harm - compared to Vallo's usual fare, but that doesn't mean it's not going to escalate horribly. Try and avoid getting close to them if you can. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Too late. Fortunately I have Dragonfang on me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-08-13 03:15 am UTC (link)
	Is that... good...? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	elitewarrior 2024-08-13 03:21 am UTC (link)
	I did say fortunately. Dragonfang is my sword. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	briarmoss 2024-08-13 04:15 am UTC (link)
	Oh right, good. Probably good. Actually maybe stabbing them about isn't the best idea, if we're trying to avoid pollen? Unless you're wearing a mask? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	[...] That might explain why my wife woke up in the middle of the night, sat up, and started talking to me about "Mother". I thought she meant something entirely different. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Horrifying. She didn't do anything else? (Reply to this) (Parent)
