32nd Ofuda [video]

[The MS's tree is growing~. And... it is looking a little... odd.

It does sort of resemble a Japanese maple, but those leaves suggest something else. It really doesn't help that the bark can't seem to make up its mind about a color and texture, patches of it rough and raised and other parts as smooth as polished wood. The color varies in areas

The fuck--?!

[ksuriuri_san]

[Innocent tree is innocent, Baiken. If it could whistle, it would.

La la la no bug eating here.

... It shudders lightly again, and almost seems to... spit out a pair of tiny wings]

[tetsuzansen]

[...Yeah, she's moving her tiny scraggledy sapling away from you now. Fucking weird plant.]

[ksuriuri_san]

[Hey, don't move that, who is it going to be all planty and green next to now?

... And here comes the owner himself, finally back after God only knows how many hours. He simply passes by both Baiken and the plant, vanishing into another room for a moment before quietly returning with the long fluted kettle, watering the weird tree]

[You have a curious cat]

[ksuriuri_san]

[There is nothing to see here. It is a tree. A normal every day boring tree. Totally average.

... Ignore the little insect legs it's discretely spitting out. You see nothing. NOTHING]

[twotails9lives]

[Ooh, maybe it's a youkai tree!]

[ksuriuri_san]

[It wouldn't be hard to imagine.

But it's not evil, so no worries here! It's just hungry.]

[ksuriuri_san]

[And if I were you, little buddy, I'd avoid this one. Forever]

[ksuriuri_san]

[Oh it's a VERY nice tree. So long as you're human sized and not edible.]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[Okay, he was.... not expecting that at all.]

[ksuriuri_san]

[Is it burping? The ruffle of the leaves... kind of make it look like its burping.]

[bokuwadoctaaa]

[OH GOD IT BURPED WTF IS THIS PLANT... hold on a minute here.]

This is... like the plants people got? ARE THEY ALL GOING TO BE LIKE THIS?!

[ksuriuri_san]

Only mine

... so it would seem.

[madwashu]

How interesting. I see mine isn't the only... unique one.

[ksuriuri_san]

Oh? And...

what does yours... look like?

[madwashu]

[With out a word she turns on the video to display her sapling. The slivery grey trunk is spiraled and a little gnarled as a few branches start to come off of it. There are already little red leaf buds sprouting and what looks like little white flowers.]

I have never seen a tree like this before. And watch this.

[She leans in and pokes the tree's flower buds. They snap around her fingers almost like little venus fly traps.]

Most unusual.

[ksuriuri_san]

[His hasn't started growing any flowers yet. The lazy thing. It's too busy being fat. At least there aren't any bugs in the apartment anymore.]

... How curious...

Perhaps

the species... are related?
