 [04:47] GA: There's a knock at Erisio's door. "| Hey, pl- er, Erisio, right? Sorry about... earlier... |"

 [04:48] GC: There is a moment of hesitation, but eventually Erisio*s voice calls out. "Come in."

 [04:50] GA: She opens the door and awkwardly enters. "| Nice digs! Er, so... The plant thing was bad, and I thought... |" She pulls out a living, normal looking potted plant.

 [04:50] GA: "| Thought you might like this. |"

 [04:51] GA: "| It's a potted plant I got for my wriggling day from my father. He was all, '{ Learning to take care of other beings is important to taking care of you and your country, Tethys. }'"

 [04:54] GC: Erisio is sitting on his bed. he looks up at Tethys when she comes in. When she pulls out the plant his eyes widen. "A-Are you sur* I mean sure? If it was a present.. wouldn*t you rather keep it?"

 [04:55] GA: "| No, no, I'm surprised it hasn't uh, perished already. I'm not very good at taking care of plants. |"

 [04:56] GA: "| I haven't watered it in years! |"

 [04:56] GC: "Wh-"

 [04:57] GC: "How did it"

 [04:57] GC: Erisio inspects it closly

 [04:57] GC: "It*s not saying anything... Is.. Is this plastic?"

 [04:57] GA: She pokes it. "| Nnnnnnnmaybe. Crap, it's plastic. |"

 [04:59] GA: "| Oh gosh, this is so embarrassing. Okay, I'm leaving with my fake plant bye. |"

 [05:00] GA: Tethys gives a sheepish grin and turns to get out.

 [05:01] GC: "Uh, are you sure you wanna leave?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:02] GC: "I mean, yeah your Ambrosia trifida is plastic, but it*s like, thought that counts right..?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:02] GC: "

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:03] GA: She nods. "| Yeah, I suppose? But you can speak to plants, this one won't have much to say... |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:04] GA: "| This one is mute? |" She holds it out. "| If you, want it. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:05] GC: Erisio carefully takes it, holding it close. "I don*t think I*ll be able to talk to plants for a while.. I can still hear the screa*ms"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:05] GA: Tethys idly pulls at a tuft of hair. "| Aha, I'm sure they're happy in plant heaven, though? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:06] GA: "| Where the grass is always green and the sun is like not too hot for plants but also not too cold? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:06] GA: "| And the clouds are nutritious or something. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:07] GC: "You... don*t know the first thing about plants do you?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:07] GA: "| ...No. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:10] GC: Erisio captchaouges the fake plant, muttering something about oxygen nitrogen sulfur and carbon

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:11] GA: Tethys continues grinning.

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:11] GC: "I have to ask... if you don*t know anything about plants, why did you become the plant harvester?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:12] GA: "| I didn't mean to, I thought I'd be finding seeds and stuff, and I didn't think the plants would die so quick... |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:12] GC: "Think of it this way. If I ripped your lungs out of your body, how long do you think you would last?"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:14] GA: "| Three minutes. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:15] GC: "Less, accounting for blood loss and trauma"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:15] GC: "But yeah, point is, it*s a very very very low amount of time"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:16] GA: "| ...Sorry. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:21] GC: Erisio avoids looking Tethys in the eye. "I know"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:21] GA: "| Hey! Maybe you could... Show me the basics? That way I don't mess up if I ever have to do it again. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:21] GA: "| And we can practice on the plastic plant so nothing dies. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:22] GC: "Yeah, maybe sometime.. maybe after I rest for a day or two. All the stuff on LoCaR and LoSaP, I*m pretty damn drained"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:24] GA: "| Mhm, meeting Balish drained something out of us all. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:24] GA: "| Heheh, bow chicka bow wow. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:24] GC: Erisio makes an audible grk sound

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:25] GA: "| Yeah, the thing kids these days use is phrasing. I should really get with the times. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:25] GA: "| Too bad they're in relationships. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:25] GA: "| Hahahah, now it's phrasing. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:27] GC: "Y*eah, ok, it was cool talkin to you Teth*, see ya around."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:28] GA: "| It was cool... Nah, you didn't set it up for any innuendos, dude. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:29] GA: "| It's like this: 'Yeah, I'll see ya round, Erisio. Maybe next time we won't screw the pooch!' Then you got, 'Phrasing!' |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:30] GA: *then you go

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:30] GC: Erisio looks away again, his fingers moving nervously

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:30] GA: "| Or go for the classic 'in your endo' when I say innuendo. You must not know a lot of sex jokes? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:31] GC: "..."

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:31] GA: "| Don't worry, guy. |" She puts an arm around him. "| Hang with me, and you'll learn a lot about doin' it! |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:31] GC: "Do you just... not pay attention to anything anyone says ever?

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:32] GA: "| What? I try to! |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:32] GC: "Alsoplease*let*mego"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:32] GA: She lets go. "| Why? |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:33] GA: "| Ah, I see. |" Tethys nods thoughtfully. "| You're a virgin, and you're sad to hear all of these jokes about something you haven't experienced yet. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:33] GC: "BecauseifyouvepaidanyattentiontoanythingatallyoudknowthatanythingrelatedtosexseriouslymessesmeupaandtodayIwitnessedmyownsisterhavinghardcoreblacksexpleaseleaveright*now*"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:34] GA: Tethys shuts up instantly. "| Oh. Oh my gosh. I am so sorry, Erisio. I'll leave immediately. |" She backs out, closing the door. "| Sorry. Sorry. Soorrrrryy. Crap. |"

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:37] GC: Erisio locks the door when Tethys leaves. He then collapses onto his bed

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;"> [05:38] GA: Tethys diffidently walks down the hall, mumbling 'whoops'.
