Any sort of nature?

[byallmeans]

Any sort of nature.

[tothosewhobait]

Everybody wants
The gnawing hunger for what
Nothing satisfies

[byallmeans]

Poetic.

[tothosewhobait]

It fulfilled the prompt.

[byallmeans]

True.

Can I ask what put that take on it in your mind?

[tothosewhobait]

Human nature is merely interesting to me. Wishes and desires and the like.

[byallmeans]

Oh? The philosophical type?

[tothosewhobait]

Not at all.

[byallmeans]

I see. But you spend your time pondering human nature.

Trees are pretty nice.
Points are nice too, thanks new kid
for the random live.

[byallmeans]

The new themes are hard to match.

[send_noods]

... we have new themes? I've missed everything.

[gets his phone out and starts scrolling]

[byallmeans]

"Nature."

You've been gone?

[send_noods]

Temp transfer to another show. Happens to everyone once in a while.

[frowns at his phone]

Wait, you're actually eleven?

[byallmeans]

Almost twelve.

[send_noods]

... wow this place continues to be terrible.

I thought you got Alcheme'd.

[byallmeans]

Alcheme'd?

[send_noods]

The wizard team. They can make potions with lots of different effects including de-ageing.

[byallmeans]

Sounds interestng.

What else do they have in their lineup?

[A chance to make fun of Hijikata while he's not even here??? AWESOME. Thank you, friend.]

I know a guy who wrote some pretty bad poetry, back home. Let me see if I can remember one...

If an apricot flower blooms
Even if only one
It is still an apricot flower.

[He's not sure if he's making that up or it's one of Hijikata's.]

[byallmeans]

What does that even mean?

[venerance]

[Please hold, he's laughing at that reaction.

....

Aaaaand he's done laughing. He's definitely out of breath now, though.]

Hell if I know! I'm not the one who made it up.

[byallmeans]

What a poem.
