ONE ↬ video. ❚

[ Allison is standing in the middle of the orchard when she clicks on her phone, an odd-looking fruit in her hand. She thinks it's supposed to be something like an apple-peach-mango hybrid but she's not really sure. Which is part of why she's broadcasting: ]

Is everything in here edible? I really don't want to end up accidentally poisoning myself, but I also really want some fresh fruit. Considering this place has apparently brought in all sorts of crazy things, I wouldn't put a poisoned orchard past the people in power. [ She turns it over in her hand again and then finally shifts her attention to her phone. ] Also, I stumbled across a signed football back when everyone seemed to be getting things-- [ and thank god she didn't get something gory and awful ] --but I have no idea whose it is. It's definitely not mine. [ If she's going to support any sport, it's lacrosse, not football. ] I'm hoping someone here might either know who it belongs to or be able to stake claim on it.

[ She ends the feed with a pretty friendly smile, her attention shifting back to the fruit as she hits the end button. ]

Yeah. And I think the gods deserve that, same as us.

[ It's okay. Rose doesn't actually know any details. She's been told she wouldn't understand if it were to be explained. ]

Yeah. Even if they don't exactly ask for our permission before kidnapping us and holding us hostage in a really creepy cave.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if they had much choice in the matter either. Desperate times call for desperate measures and all that.

You really think so? I mean, I get that they're trying to revive all the dead ones, but... I don't know.

[hasitsthorns]

I do, yeah. I've had my back up against the wall and done questionable things.

So I'd be a hypocrite to say that the gods are in the wrong for doing the same thing.

I guess. [ Allison hasn't personally been there (yet) so she can still be a little judgmental about it with an outsider's perspective. ] Either way, like I said: it's good that you're helping them with rebuilding. Maybe this place will actually be halfway decent someday instead of run down and falling apart.
