[ he sighs. should have known. ]

What exactly do you get out of it if you find something poisonous? Just dead?

[apoisoncary]

I have developed an immunity to most poisons and know how to consume it safely.

[outdistanced]

[ you can do that? ]

Still. Does that really work if you don't even know what you're eating?

[apoisoncary]

That's why I take it in small doses first. [ She doesn't just gobble down the whole thing... just a little at a time. ]

Taking it directly helps with developing a cure for it as well.

[outdistanced]

Wouldn't that be easier if you had one of the other doctor types with you?

[ whatever he's not here to lecture her! ]

So it's just, like, someone's vegetable garden.

[apoisoncary]

They wouldn't let me in the first place.

[ no one wants her to have fun... ]

It may be something they were growing for class.

[outdistanced]

God forbid they want you to be well.

...Maybe. Just seems like a weird thing for a school, but I guess someone has to grow that stuff.

[apoisoncary]

[ maomao is a doctor who can take care of herself

most of the time ]

I haven't ever seen a school before, so I will trust that it is weird.

[ she has seen books with schools but the information hasn't stuck... ]

[outdistanced]

[ questionable ]

Neither have I. Not like this, at least - we had classrooms, but not... everything this place does. We don't have a garden.

[apoisoncary]

I wonder if it's supposed to be...a magic school? There were books involving such a premise, but I couldn't really retain the information.

[outdistanced]

It did say it's a school of magic, but I don't know if I really understand what that means. It sounds like magic is really different for everyone.

...Who knows what plants have to do with it, either.

[apoisoncary]

[ Maomao forgot all signs as soon as she saw plants ]

Maybe they need it for their spells? Much like how you make medicine, but it's how you make magic? [ She has no idea ]

[outdistanced]

[ girl. ]

I guess that could be it. I don't know the first thing about magic.

[apoisoncary]

[ there's so many things she doesn't know because it isn't useful to her basic survival and doesn't involve medicine/poison :D ]

Anders may know better. [ maybe he'll be reminded of the plight of the mages ] We can also look around to see if there are any clues.

[outdistanced]

Oh, maybe. He did sound like a doctor type.

...Would we even recognize any clues if we saw them?

[ I probably wouldn't. ]

[apoisoncary]

We might not, but it could be interesting trying anyways.

[ Investigating ]

Want to head to the classrooms?

[outdistanced]

Sounds like you're just bored now that you know there's no poison.

It won't hurt to look around, I guess.

[apoisoncary]

I might be a little bit, but it's also because people keep telling me to try new things.

[outdistanced]

They're probably all concerned that poisoning yourself is your favorite thing to do. And it wouldn't hurt to find something else you like, anyway.

[apoisoncary]

Unfortunately there isn't anything I could do that with. Unless I decide to try to make my own poison from the seeds of fruits or nuts...

[ Pondering. ]

I think they are worried I'll close myself off from others again.

[outdistanced]

Not with that attitude.

[ ...he rubs the back of his neck. ]

You do hide from us all a lot.

[apoisoncary]

Maybe apple seeds could work.

[ now she wants to see if the angels will give them only seedless apples... ]

I'm not used to depending on others without it being transactional.

[outdistanced]

Apple seeds?

[ do they teach about cyanide in apple seeds in the tower. they probably don't, right?? ]

...Come on, Maomao It's been how many weeks and you're still thinking about all of us like we're the same as your home?

[apoisoncary]

Apple seeds can be poisonous if you break them open.

[ now he knows. ]

...I don't think you're the same. I do wonder if it would have been easier if I did.

[outdistanced]

...Seriously? And we just have a whole tree of them.

[ what the hell. ]

I don't see how that would be easier.
