Oops, Did I Do That?
WHO: Tommy Shepherd, OTA
WHERE: Network, Caves, Beach
WHAT: Tommy reacting to mintpocalypse, exploring a cave, and being TOO energetic
WHEN: Friday Oct 15th and Saturday Oct 16th
WARNINGS: n/a
Network - Friday Morning
this is so absolutely and completely not my fault at all so anyone who says so is an absolute liar
Network - Saturday Morning
okay but serious when am I getting my reward for a creative way of finding the beach?
Caves
So, hey, this was a thing. Tommy hadn't meant to, yanno, cover the whole damn place in mint. None of the species were supposed to be that bad, right? Not the earth ones. Maybe it was something about this world. What he knew is that he felt like shit on Friday morning. And then a lot more relaxed as he woke and found his way along the path on Saturday, a blur of motion and a whoop of joy as he found the ocean. Of course he took the moment to take credit before starting to explore. Not in the waves, not at all. No, Tommy instead heads along the shore until he finds a cave.
Tommy never would have considered his power related to energy, which is a mistake. If he had, he might have thought twice when he was using his phone as a light and it was SO bright. Then again, he wouldn't have put two and two together anyway. Just mused how it was interesting that the tunnel kept getting brighter rather than darker the further in he went. And if he had a sense of time like that of a normal human, he'd definitely have noticed how weird it was that the tunnel was passing by so quickly. As it was, Tommy was rushing through the caves at a break-neck pace, his hair shining with a soft white glow, and in the air behind him there was a lingering after image of white-green light. A pale mint trailing after him. Amusing, right?
So Tommy darts around, building up a charge, and not realizing that he might not be alone.
Beach
His body is screaming with energy, and there is so much that Tommy wants to do. He's well fed and he feels like he can take on the world. Probably can actually. He's got energy here, too much energy. Which means only one thing. Time for some damn FUN. He moves quickly, a burst of pale-mint colored light racing over the water, over the waves. And, when he realizes that there's a serious trail of light following him, Tommy's soon drawing patterns all over the waves, enjoying the way the light lingers and the shapes follow after him. His fingers trace his name in the air like the residual light of a sparkler, and his laughter follows him easily.
Then there he is, back on the shore, sparks dancing off his feet and hitting the sand, not that he notices. Instead he's busy chasing after the lobster-like creatures. Could probably eat those, right?
And when it's all done the young man, hair shining with an undeniable pale white light, eyes glowing green, stretched out on the sand and considering the sky. Nice. New thought, more time in the cave, because he's been feeling amazing ever since he went there.

Regardless, the mint is out of the bag now. Have you found anything it cannot cross, or should we expect to be buried within the course of a few days?
no subject
we shouldn't hold it against them
there was nothing in the datapoint to suggest that there would be issues with the mint after all
I haven't really been looking but I can go do a search for you
and don't you just wish we had one of those push rotary mowers from like the fifties or whatever?
I'd be a mint cutting machine

That or a small herd of goats. They're quite efficient at keeping the greenery down - and the milk would be welcome.
no subject
goats are pretty tasty too
no subject
I can't say I've ever tried them, but they are the most commonly consumed meat on Earth. In fact, as long as the population were sustainable, I don't see why we couldn't have a herd of grazing animals in the "zoo" area for meat. At least the ships have working refrigeration units.
no subject
and we totally need them
but anyway i've had people be all 'don't eat the things'
but foooood
no subject
With that said, I do in fact understand the desire for fresh meat. Food can be a great psychological comfort to humans, and it's important not to underestimate its effects. I believe the reluctance to eat them stems from their similarity to a companion animal. Were they glowing cows, the attitude would assuredly be different.
no subject
dude even those things look tasty as hell to me
who keeps a fucking wooly pony as a companion?
get a dog and own it
no subject
But if you feel the need to butcher one, please do me a favor and do it in an enclosed area? It may not be a good idea to stumble across a bloody carcass by surprise.
no subject
i didn't get that shit from the agriculture point
should i have?
i don't think these things like my brain chemistry much
