EXPLORATION! hasprettiestmon January 21 2010, 04:15:40 UTC
[Explore the green house! Marvel at the plants, talk with your fellow students, maybe go on some imaginative exploration of the jungle. Whatever! This is your chance to freely explore. As far as I'm concerned, the flora in there is anything you want it to be. It can be a regular pansy! It can be an exotic plant from the far reaches of your character's home canon. Chances are, there's one there!

Have fun! …Watch out for the plants with teeth. They are there. Proceed with caution B)]

Brendan didn't have a jungle in his mind when he read "Botany class"... But then again, the jungle would be the best place to find different kind of plants. But this jungle was... a little different. Brendan pictured a jungle to be filled with different exotic plants, but he found a few species that looked familiar.

He walked around the room, careful not to step into anything messy. Or at least try to.

There was a very mysterious and foreboding looking puddle that was directly in Brendan's foot's path. Dangerous!

"Watch out for that puddle ba!"

Bulbasaur could only hope that his warning was quick enough to save his roommate's shoe from the very questionable contents of that puddle.

Huh, what? Brendan looked towards where the familiar voice and he was a second close from stepping into the puddle.

"Whoa!!" He stumbled away from the puddle to avoid stepping into whatever the heck that was, but that sudden move made him lose his balance and he fell hard onto the dirt.

"Yowch!"

Oh no that was very counter productive. Bulba hurried over and offered Brendan a hand up. "I-I'm sorry bul!"

Brendan hissed under his breath as he rubbed his lower back, a little sore from the impact. He looked over to his roommate as the other ran up to him and blinked a few times before bursting out laughing.

"It's okay...!" Brendan managed to reply as he took Bulba's hand and pulled himself back up to his feet.

"I was just trying to save you from that," Bulba said as he pointed at the puddle. The very suspicious puddle. Of dubiousness. It glittered in its fishiness.

"I guess dirt isn't so bad... Are you okay though?"

Brendan's laughter died as he looked at the puddle he was about to step into. Hmm, suspicious body of liquid...

"I'm alright, but... what is that?"

Erika had been circling round her students. She came up to Brendan and Bulbasaur in time to hear the question. She took a look at the puddle and then up at the flora. Oddly enough, the usually serene woman's expression suddenly darkened and she frowned slightly menacingly.

"Aphids," she answered.

Brendan looked over at the teacher and raised a brow. W-whoa, she looks kind of scary at the moment.

"Aphids?"

Bulbasaur blinked at Erika (oh gosh why did she look so scary that was weird), looking for further answer. The term sounded familiar, but he wasn't entirely sure what she was talking about.

She nodded in return. "Aphids are insects that feed on the sap of plants. They must have gotten in at some point in the fall... I found a few plants that were withered up because of them..."

Erika's frown deepened. The discovery of the ruined foliage had not been a pleasing time. "They're sort of a menace..." She motioned towards the puddle. "That sap would be their excrement."

Oh. Ew. Ewwwww. Brendan scrunched up his nose in disgust as he inched away from the puddle. Even more gross when all he could think of were worm-like creatures like Wurmple.

"That's gross."

"That is a way to describe it, yes," Erika replied. She lightly patted Bulbasaur on the head, understanding where his source of alarm was probably stemming from. "I will be doing all I can to get rid of them before they spread further. I just hope they did not spread very far already."

Brendan wasn't really expecting this for his first Plant class. And he definitely hoped he wouldn't have to go hunt for some bugs.

"...Will we be required to get rid of the bugs ourselves during the school year?" Brendan asked. Better know ahead of time so he can be well prepared for it.
