( is she changing? no. but she also is still very much in her jammies, having stayed in bed to just re-read an old, beloved book that happened to come with a certain post-lava festival. but, well, plants always get her attention? always. so yes hello come in mizuki the door is now open- )
[ Mizuki holds up the plant as he comes in, showing it off. It is... mostly submerged in saltwater, though. Perhaps he should've also mentioned it was an ocean flower before?? ]
I asked Miss Ydalir for one of these 'cause their leaves are really good for making antidotes and such, but, umm... I realized after I got it that I don't actually know how to extract that stuff or take care of plants. Do you think you could help me?
Fresh changes of water is good for all aquatic life in smaller tanks or pots. Large ones- or, you know, things like the ocean or rivers- are in a constant flow which provides fresh and clean water. Filtering works but it's good to change the water outright now and again.
Where will you be keeping it? I'll be able to help better once I know the setup.
[ "Mizuki, your god is literally called "the Arbor" how do you not know about plants?" JUST BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A BIG TREE DOESN'T MEAN IT IS. IT'S STILL A LEVIATHAN?? He's struggling, okay, don't look at him. He's just staring at the plant, a little embarrassed at how dumb he feels. He fidgets with the pot, holding it up to his face a bit to hide the rising blue tinge to his cheeks. ]
I guess I just kinda... assumed it made new oxygen or whatever itself...? Like how algae does it or whatever? Is that not how that works?
…it's a little stupid to ask for something you don't know how to take care of, isn't it? I should've… probably asked for a care guide, too… I wasn't thinking about it.
A little short-sighted, but nothing that can't be fixed. You already asked for help, and there's nothing stopping you from asking for a guide or equipment, either. No damage has been done.
[ Ah. Mizuki raises the pot a bit as she comes in for a hug, transferring it over to a stinger to hold as he returns the hug. He’s going to clear his throat to change the subject, though. ]
The leaves are used to make anti-toxins. If we can keep them healthy than we’ll have a good source of that.
Yes, I… I figured if the flowers from before could use my toxins, there's probably other creatures from the forest that could, too. So, at some point, I'd like to try to hand out one to everyone for emergencies…
If it's something you and Doctor Add are good with, it's not likely I'll be able to pick up on it so well… I appreciate the offer, though! I just want to be helpful.

Yes and yes, what's up?

Re: me realizing the link is broken-
... Heimr and Ydalir can travel through the fog... maybe that'll be good for getting more saltwater for it.
( it's in a pot or something, right? )

[ Mizuki proving he has an absolute 0 amount of botany knowledge.
It is in a pot, filled with an almost comically colorless gray, somewhat murky saltwater. Easily able to assume that it's Terran ocean water. ]
Mmmh, BB also has some ocean she might be willing to share... when she gets back...

( why is he- did she say something wrong...? felicity frowns, and she slowly reaches over to squeeze his shoulder. )
Hey, it- it's alright. You don't normally care for plants, right? It's a bit of a learning process. There's nothing wrong with that...
... But... uh. Part of the changing of water is to help remove any organic pollutants, like waste. Which is a thing they do!

felicity hums thoughtfully, though. she'll have to experiment a little... )
That's going to be important, I'm sure of it. With how things are here, we can't chance that we just... won't get exposed to toxins or something.

…
But I don't know how to make them myself.
