It really is! Omimi was a total boost to everyone's morale like that! Just - don't tell the director I said that, okay?

[9mon]

Hehe, alright, I promise!

[dms]

Thanksies~!

Hey, do you think we can do stuff with other colors? They've all got different powers, right? But people aren't just made of one shade!

[ people are multicolored! they're rainbows! ]

[9mon]

I think so. Guardian of the Marigold helped me and my colors were... I think it's heliotrope and marigold!

What about you?

[dms]

Dunno yet! My main color is heliotrope and that's pretty sweet, but I haven't tried any of the others yet.

I wonder if it would work now...

[9mon]

There's nothing to do but try!

[dms]

Alright, bet!

[ what's a good one going around...? hmmmm. he squints down at his hands in concentration for a bit, and suddenly - there's a flash of green, and with it, a handful of mushrooms. ]

Haha, guess that means my other color is "verdant," huh? Sick! Here, take some.

[9mon]

Cool! That's super helpful.

[He does not worry if they aren't edible but he does wonder-]

Should we cook these first?

[dms]

Mm, probably a good idea! We'll need something to cook it in, though... Have you seen something we can use?

[9mon]

How about we roast it over the fire in the mansion? I think we could find some sticks.

[dms]

Oh, like s'mores? I like it!

I guess we've got those knives, too, but that might put us a little too close the flames, huh?

[9mon]

They kinda look like they might melt? I'd be kinda careful.

[dms]

Haha, fair enough! [ they could still be used for other things but maybe not fire... ] The central node has plenty of trees, though, so we could totes find some sticks out there! They'll have to be long ones so we don't burned if they wear down.

[9mon]

If they're too thin do you think they'll break? Should we get a buncha different kinds?

[dms]

Mm, but if we get something too big, they won't work with the mushrooms.

...A variety won't hurt! Then we can see what works best.

[9mon]

'kay! I'll gather up some sticks.

[dms]

Thanks, Kumopi~! Meet you back at the mansion?

[ he has a handful of mushrooms he can't pick up sticks ]

[9mon]

See you there!

[He'll be back in a little while with all these sticks.]

[dms]

[ tooooo the mansion! he's laid out all the mushrooms on his jacket, which is hopefully mostly clean? ]

You ready to try this, Kumopi?

[9mon]

Yeah!

[He sets down a whole bunch of sticks, and sticks one of them through a mushroom.]

[dms]

Just be careful putting it in the flames, okay?

[ he can just picture hyodle's angry face if kumopi burns his hands ]

We can share them with everyone else once they're cooked, too. Doesn't seem like there's a ton of verdant power going around yet.

[9mon]

[Nods and carefully puts them into the fire.

The weird cold fire that does seem to be cooking??]

Does that mean we should be rationing?

[dms]

Hm... That's a good question. I think it's something we'd have to ask everyone, though? Maybe if Shale's helping out, we won't need to.

[9mon]

Mm. It's hard to know what everybody's doing unless we send out a mass text or something.

[dms]

So we can just do that! It'll be way easier than looking for everyone in all the different areas.

We might have to help some of them, though. Did you know there are people here who've never used a smartphone before? It's crazy!
