[next to it is scrawled a big angry arrow pointing at the text and the words]

FUCK THIS

[still gonna go back to the island tho]

stone speech into action

[savedbyasong]

I'd like to see it. [And unless Connor tells him not to he is on his way round. He has six thousand theories to share.]

[yourattention]

Sure. I'm on the islet with the boat.

['cause . . . he realized that one might be better to take since it's (theoretically) more navigable and he's trying to figure out how to get it to the mana pool.]

[savedbyasong]

Were you here when there was the cave system and the parasistic crystals? Lup told me about it.

[He's on his way. Talking as he hurries over.] Where I come from there was a disease. Except it wasn't actually a disease it was the doing of parasitic bees. They laid their eggs in a victims neck and when they were ready to be born they would drain the host dry of liquid and nutrients. As far as I know no one else infected survived at all. It had something to do with a higher power. A god we would call them here but I'm not sure exactly on the details because it mostly comes from visions of the future. But my point is...

[He's here now. Heading over to where Ceej was by the boat.] It's probably parasitic flowers.

two days later on the 16th

[crosslaced]

[Next to the transcript, someone's copied the words:]

Primulaceae

MULA-1

The four-letter codes (caretakers?) correspond to what I assume are the disease names? [With another arrow to Grimm's transcript:]

Astragalus

TRAG-1

What does this mean?

[prettypurpleparlor]

[Someone's just gotten back from a very busy searching trip, and the first thing she finds is this. No rest for the wicked.]

Both of those are scientific names- plants or animals have common names, that ordinary people use, and scientific names so that scientists will know exactly which type they're talking about.

Primulaceae, that's a family of plants. Primroses, usually. Astragalus is... usually milkvetch, I think, but it might cover other plants, too.

What the numbers might indicate, I don't know. Being the first of their kind, perhaps? If those were both '1', they might have intended to build more...

[yourattention]

are we all just gonna ignore the fact that the flowers are people

[thisisourfuture]

Could be first of their kind or the means to break up the code? But that wouldn't apply to the written word.

please pretend this went up at the same time as this actual post

theyre a helper

[lightlessfuture]

[ next to this transcript, carved painstakingly into a small piece of stone that someone's taken efforts to smooth out: ]

[yourattention]

[written next to "smells different":]

it was a fuckin carrion flower

NOTE

[lightlessfuture]

also i cant re-edit this post whoops but just ignore the whole "carved on stone" thing they drew it on the board next to the transcript with chalk

[crosslaced]

[guess who thought about things and Doesn't Like what he's concluded?]

Anyone remember the crystal disease that happened in the first few months?

I suspect THE FLOWERS ARE ALSO INFECTIOUS THEY ARE KILLING KILLED PEOPLE

[yourattention]

oh my god its fine
i touched a bunch of flowers n im fine

[He also burned a bunch of flowers so like. If anyone was gonna die from flower hell it would be him.]

[crosslaced]

[the handwriting here is rushed because HE'S NOT ENJOYING THIS!!!]

how long ago?

[hellawrath]

they also burn way too fast for something natural. something's UP for sure.

tho if it's the flowers we're already fucked anyway n our best bet would be to find more info asap.

the crystals killed within a day.

[despairing_hope]

Ah... what a beautiful terminal illness. To slowly decline but be taken over by flowers.

I wouldn't mind that sort of thing.

To become beautiful in death....

[yourattention]

big mood

[thisisourfuture]

[He sees all the writing and draws an arrow up to Komaeda's circles it and puts No, beside it.]

We don't know if that will happen or not. Let's NOT jump to conclusions, Komaeda. Besides, haven't we come too far to die here? We still have to get back home to our class and finish things there.

Do you want to die here when there's so much to do there?

[cacoethes_mori]

'They lived and died free of the draperies of their fiction.'

[Contempt. Disgust?]

So it wasn't just a hospital. It was a sanitorium.

A death watch.

[despairing_hope]

What's wrong with that? Isn't it better to be taken care or comfortably than be miserable and alone?

[vagabone]

Only because there was no cure.

They built those automatons instead of just abandoning the sick. Someone must have cared.

added early on the 17th

[hellawrath]

found another diary page. Umui was a fucking plague colony.

we're keeping the page in The Store, come check it out if u want. it's not great.

it was written by a kid.

action

[tokenflavortownie]

[Right. The Store. The store she knows is somewhere. In. this world?

Whatever, Pyrrha will find it eventually, and enters morosely. Should be as plain as the look on her face why she's come all this way.]

Excuse me? I hope I'm not too late but... I came to look at that page that was being kept here.

action

[thermalwind]

[He'd heard about the store and seen it before when he checked on how many first aid kits he'd left were still around, but never stepped inside it. The journey from the island takes a little while. He enters the shop as he pulls his hood off and the mask with its glowing eyes fades away to reveal his face.

His expression is neutral and hard to read. He's here to continue doing his job. Nothing more.]

Hey. Sorry to bother you. I came to see the dairy page if you're still keeping it.
