[ Chuck looks rumpled, a little dirty from working in the yard - look at him, all domesticated and shit. He's leaning on a shovel and holding his little device up, wipes his brow and flashes a dimpled smile. ]

So, somehow we haven't kicked the bucket this October, right? Everyone still good?


[ he'd finger guns if he wasn't holding the contraption and his shovel. ]

Brilliant. Anyway - Chuck here, I'm way the hell out in Feed, and Ray and I have got a metric fuckton of mushrooms growing around our property. I don't know jack shit about identifying them or knowing what's safe to eat -- any of you lot got any knowledge in that area?

Got a pile of mushrooms and a basket of eggs for ya, if so.

If you eat it and it kills you or makes you shit blood, it's probably poisonous.

(..........Eddie, have you ever considered Not Being an Asshole.)

Re: video

[lefthemisphere]

Brilliantly helpful, thanks mate.

Re: video

[klussy]

(Eddie sighs dramatically.)

Okay, okay. Stay away from any mushrooms with spots. That either means they're poisonous or have gone rancid. And ones that have like. Skirts. I don't know what they're called, but when you dig up a mushroom, if it has a weird thing around its stem. It looks like a skirt to me. Let me see...

(And here we go. A picture.)

Basically, your mushroom should look like a dick with no deformities.

(Eloquent, Eddie. He's not technically wrong though........)

[ see, that IS helpful. good kid, eddie ]

Dick with no deformities. Got it.

Thanks - that is helpful. [ legitimately ]

Well, I don't know anything about mushrooms, except that Mako's great at cooking with them! If they, um, aren't poisonous. Can mushrooms be poisonous?

[ Look, he doesn't know either ]

Look at you! Living that farm dream. I'm glad that we don't have to contend with all the awfulness of Deerington Octobers. I bet that really ruined your, ah, crops? They're called crops. Right?

Oh, and we'd definitely take some eggs!

[lefthemisphere]

Yeah, they can. Kill ya dead as a doornail, some of 'em. Just not sure which is which, here.

[ He does look happy, though - pink from working hard, slimmer, still strong. ]

Yeah, crops. I'll swing by with a basket for you - our chickens are laying plenty.

[royalfling]

That doesn't sound very safe! Chuck, don't eat those!

[ Even though they come back, it's not worth it for mushrooms! ]

Thank you, thank you, that would be great. I mean, I won't cook them, but Mako will! He'll put them to good use.

A limited understanding. I do know the ones that are popular for food here, so I could bring pictures along to help with identifying. I'm still familiarizing myself with the varieties in this world.

[lefthemisphere]

That would be helpful, yeah. I'm not an expert by any means and I'd like to not accidentally kill my partner, y'know?

He'd probably be pretty pissed when he came back.

[onerthes]

Hah, yes. Let's avoid accidental deaths by food poisoning. We've already got enough trouble as is. And it will help me. The locals keep crowing about the use of mushrooms, so I've been trying to take up some home growing. Best to know what to use.

If it kills you, it's probably poisonous.

Re: video;

[lefthemisphere]

Oi, dickhead.

Bring yer dog over.

[falsify]

I don't know if that's such a good idea if you've got unidentified mushrooms growing around the place.

[unsheathedfromreality]

I do not know how to tell you which mushrooms might poison you, but I have always been wanting to eat one, to see what they are about. [He sounds weirdly delighted by this prospect.]

You will trade for some? I do not need to worry anymore about poison, so I do not care which I get.

[lefthemisphere]

You wanna...eat one for funsies?

I mean, sure, if you wanna give it a go, I'm happy to give you a bag.

[unsheathedfromreality]

Yes, exactly that. I could not before dying, you see? Mushrooms would always sicken or kill my people. But I knew many humans who would swear they were a delicacy, and so.

[So now he wants to eat one. Forbidden fruit, as it were.

This may also be an excuse not to let Cloverfield's curse overwhelm him.]

Good! I will find something to bring you. What does your farm need?

[bookerlesigh]

Don't got much knowledge.

I can experiment with some trial and error, let you know the outcome.

[ it's not like he has anything better to do with his time. dying had been inconvenient and unpleasant at one point, so he's fairly certain he'll be able to remember the worst offenders. ]

[lefthemisphere]

[ the amount of people here volunteering to eat potentially deadly mushrooms is concerning ]

Uh, well. Yeah, if you're sure it's not gonna kill you? I don't wanna have to deal with a body on my property this soon.

cw: suicidal thoughts

[bookerlesigh]

[ the ideal situation here is that it kills Booker and he stays dead, but he also knows that's the sort of thing you don't share with people. ]

I have a pretty sturdy constitution. I can promise you it won't be my body you need to deal with.

[droptheious]

I can come and take a look at them if you want. I have a pretty good idea about them. Though honestly, Melius is way better with mushrooms than I am.

[Mostly because he can eat them and NOT DIE. ]

You guys are pretty far out of the town. How is it out there?

[lefthemisphere]

Don't think I've met Melius yet.

[ he doesn't think. Name isn't familiar, anyway. ]

I like it, but it's definitely a little isolated. Lots of room, though. Gotta watch the monsters, though. Put my little lamp buddy down, so we can just port in and out, seemed smartest.

[droptheious]

He's a pretty great guy- he kinda keeps to himself though- but he's a really good alchemist! If you see a really tall lizard guy around, that's him.

[Could have opened with the lizard thing, Var. ]

That's smart. I put mine on the lawn of my house- given how many people are living there now, it seemed like the safest option. What sort of monsters do you have to deal with out there?

Um.

Yes? Is- is that. Bad?
