itp: corpse flowers

[narcolepsnip]

[it's a beautiful day! the sun is shining! the bees are buzzing in the flower garden. So beautiful, so idyllic --

... so filled with the pervasive stench of a rotting dead body. If you follow your nose to the source of the smell, there is a man looking down at a whole host of these.]

My, those are quite unusual . . .

Perhaps they're in need of a special gardener.

[narcolepsnip]

I wonder if they'll live long enough for that . . .

[eternalsamba]

Maybe you should take care of them!

[narcolepsnip]

It would be a kind deed, wouldn't it?

[a_bit_unstaple]

Also quite out of place, as they're native to Southeast Asia.

Then again, camp has a tendency of bringing in many things that don't belong.

[narcolepsnip]

Nobody belongs here, Miss Hitagi ... isn't that the point?

[a_bit_unstaple]

If you're likening me to a Southeast Asian plant in a dank Louisiana swamp, I can't honestly say I'm pleased.

[narcolepsnip]

I shall comfort myself with the fact that Miss Hitagi is rarely pleased with me ...

[ughhhhhh what this is disgustinggggg]

They're...?

[narcolepsnip]

Rafflesia arnoldii. "Corpse flower".

[a_mighty_oak]

What a disgusting idea for a flower.

[narcolepsnip]

Haha ... can anything be held to fault for the way it is made?

*Coughs and covers his mouth*

What's that smell?!

[narcolepsnip]

They're called 'corpse flower' for a reason, it seems ...

[hitme_baby]

It's the plant?

[narcolepsnip]

Oh, yes. Unless there is also a rotting corpse around to contribute, I suppose ...

[moextispicy]

They're not even pretty.

[narcolepsnip]

... haha, are they supposed to be?

[moextispicy]

If you're going to smell like that naturally, you should have something to make up for it, nipa~

[narcolepsnip]

I find them quite interesting to look at.
