[There's a sound not unlike hail battering a roof. Except worse. Kurotsuchi's voice is a low mutter, but still audible; probably speaking directly to the PCD.]

Apples. Trees don't even have that many apples.

[Thump. Thumpthumpthumpcrack.]

Of all the- this is an event?

Not much to study about apples is there?

[Video]

[law_of_reason]

Apart from how they all appeared this quickly- which can just be unsatisfactorily explained as 'the Animus'- no, not really.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

The Animus is always an unsatisfactory explananation. Whatever the question.

At least you can feed those to your sheep. You still have some, don't you?

[Video]

[law_of_reason]

Until their mechanics are explained- unfortunately, yes.

Some sheep remain. If the supplies do, it'll be easier to keep them during the Winter.

[soulcontracts]

How anticlimactic.

[law_of_reason]

Expecting something more terrible? I'm sure it'll turn up sooner or later, if you're bored.

[soulcontracts]

I had simply been expecting something a little more sinister than apples for my first event.

[law_of_reason]

Make use of it while it's here.

[idkmybffluke]

It has its uses.

[law_of_reason]

It's still annoying.

[idkmybffluke]

That's one way of looking at it. Do you not like apples?

[law_of_reason]

I prefer them when they're not trying to break inside.

[lystoxiquebise]

No, they just pop up with all this fruit naturally in this place.

[Video]

[law_of_reason]

It's no more natural or unnatural than anything else in this place.

[Video]

[lystoxiquebise]

Maybe they are from a planet where it's natural for them to spring up overnight, sagging with too much fruit.

[Video]

[law_of_reason]

Possibly.

But unlikely. Especially since these trees aren't very alien at all.

action

[slavishly]

Mayuri-sama, the Animus have appeared to replace my hands.

[ Nemu's palm and the back of her hand are now one shiny, green, granny smith apple. There are several theories as to why this could be but this doesn't deter from the fact that Nemu is handless. She'll just wave a bright green limb to you as proof. ]

action

[law_of_reason]

[Modifying his daughter without permission? Not fair, Animus.]

Is it edible?

[slavishly]

[ She gently nips the edge of the apple hand. ]

Yes. It is edible. However, I do not wish to consume more as it is uncertain on how it'd affect my fingers and joints. I also feel seeds in or on other areas of my body, Mayuri-sama.

[law_of_reason]

[Is eating your own fruit cannibalism? Still, he watches with some curiosity.]

Extract some of the seeds for study. They could be different than the varieties normally available.
