Game 53 [Video]

[gamerslave3]

What's with the plant? It's such a stupid gift.

[She's seen peering down at the pot of dirt and it's seedling and frowning as she tilts in a bit as if she's trying to see if there's anything more to it.]

A video game would have been better.

It is life; it is not so stupid.

[gamerslave3]

It's boring. You can't do anything with a plant.

[betrayedblade]

It grows and bears many wondrous things from fruit to beautiful fiori. It takes time to care for but gives a reward in the end.

[gamerslave3]

Whatever. I don't think this thing bears fruit.

[To prove her point she turns on her device and points it at the little seedling that's already starting to look grey and gnarled.]

[betrayedblade]

Ahh--perhaps not. [pause to examine the seedling] But it could become a powerful tree nonetheless. [that or a vine, but he's not saying that]

[gamerslave3]

Tch. Maybe. I doubt it.

[Mutters softly and turns off the video]

I don't want it.

[betrayedblade]

Are you going to let it die? That would be a horrible waste.

[gamerslave3]

[.....]

I don't know. I guess I could water it.

[betrayedblade]

It won't take much time out of the day. Just set it next to a window, too.

[gamerslave3]

Alright.

New Years will be soon.

[betrayedblade]

So it shall. Do you celebrate?

[gamerslave3]

Sometimes.

Last year there was fireworks and food.

[betrayedblade]

That sounds quite nice.

[gamerslave3]

It was okay.

The food was good.

[betrayedblade]

Think of it as something to look forward to. Undoubtedly someone will do something worthwhile come the day.

[gamerslave3]

Yeah, I guess so.

Tch. I need to find a warmer dress.
