a totally urgent broadcast not brought to you by a dumb robot

[tomodachi]

[Like any good pirate, Crow always likes to check what treasures he's collected so far. His collection of rocks, a whistle and hammer he found in his bag when he first arrived here, some box with the words "first aid" on it and... oh, hello. Here's something that he had in the bottom of the bag here, a strange charm of some kind. Normally he just sort of swings it a little back and forth here, but for the first time, he notices words that are actually printed on it here.]

"Speak my words, that lawful phrase... And I will feed you, for all your days"? The heck does that mean...?

[He doesn't get a lot of time to ponder this though because it's starting to get uncomfortable to hold in his hand--despite not being able to feel pain, he can still sort of tell when something is not right temperature wise sometimes, and this is enough that he ends up throwing it in alarm at a nearby tree...

... which then begins to change to turn into chocolate when the charm comes in contact with it before falling back onto the ground harmlessly. Um.]

What the heck just happened!?

[It takes a moment, but eventually Crow approaches the tree warily to poke at, coming away with a slight chocolate stain on his glove here. There can only be one conclusion to make, and thus, he leaves the following message on the iStone for all to see--]



I THREW SOMETHING AT A TREE AND NOW THE TREE IS MELTING WHAT DO I DO



[Alternatively, you can come and see the tree now made of chocolate and maybe break off a piece to eat for yourself?? Probably sooner than later seeing as it is the month of June and chocolate is probably going to melt in summer heat, though it is currently holding strong for the time being.]

[What in the fresh heck Crow. Seto knows his best friend is amazing but this is new.]

How did you do that?!

[He's caught between 'this is super cool' and 'this is super weird' okay.]

[tomodachi]

I don't know, it just happened??

[It's not like he did this on purpose, Seto!]

[buryyourfriends]

[Look Seto's guilty of the 'poke it with a stick and see what happens' strategy too but this hasn't happened before!]

It's weird...I wonder what it feels like.

[...he's gonna touch it.]

[tomodachi]

[GUESS WHO IS REACHING OUT TO GRAB YOUR HAND BEFORE YOU CAN TOUCH THE TREE]

Hey, don't just go touching things like that. Here, use this.

[... Crow is now handing you a stick to poke the tree with instead. Much safer, buddy.]

[buryyourfriends]

[That's a much better option!]

Ah, thanks Crow.

[Time to put the 'poke it with a stick' strategy into effect. Seto pokes the chocolate tree and the stick sinks in a little bit due to the heat melting the tree.

Doesn't look like it's going to try and eat them...!]

It's kind of sticky...

[tomodachi]

What do you think is causing that?

[Also what is this stuff melting from the tree anyway.]

[buryyourfriends]

[Seto's got nothing for the whole melting thing, beyond poking the tree with the stick a little harder. Pro scientist here folks.

But also...!]

Didn't you throw something at it?

[tomodachi]

Yeah, this thing.

[He holds out the charm to allow Seto to examine. For all appearances, it seems normal now...?]

[buryyourfriends]

[Oh that's actually kind of cool-looking. But because of the whole 'tree turns into a brown thing' Seto slowly touches it.

And...! Nothing happens. Hun.]

Maybe it only works on trees?

["Logic".]

[tomodachi]

That's kind of weird... but I guess it makes sense? It's never done anything before now, I mean.

[buryyourfriends]

I think it says something on it?

[Those were the words Crow read off of it, right?]

[tomodachi]

[They are! Which Crow will point to.]

Yeah, right here. What do you think it means?
