Got it — that gold-red fern that only opens up during the day? Tobacco like.

Gives you a headache first time you smoke it, but afterwards? Smooth sailing.

Bring me samples of the leaves, drier the better. Found rolling papers.

Or don't. I'm not your mom.

[ Yet despite saying that, attached comes a picture of the aforementioned plant (Sun's Lace), two samples in view: one healthy, the other dried up. ] So you gonks don't poison yourselves toking up the wrong herb.

You're welcome ᝰ🚬

What, like mezcal? Could do it the traditional way — roasting the piñas underground, then grinding them with a tahona or some other mill. Then let it ferment. Pull the alcohol from that mix.

Man, been ages since I drank much less made mezcal. It's all tequila south of the border.

[flavourtown]

Is that how it's done where you're from? How interesting-- I've never heard of that method, but I may certainly have to give it a try. It would add quite a bit of depth to the flavor than my default method.

It's been a while since I did a proper underground cook. How exciting!

[justamobster]

She does that, too. Usually when she's readin' cards.

[blyat]

why haven't you been
too far away?

[mikoshi]

That and they don’t like people like me

[mikoshi]

Yup. You also leave it to ferment in the open air, picking up yeast cultures from the ambient air. Could give you a good insight as to what kind of microbes this environment has?

[rebelsamurai]

Fine, you can keep smoking your space weed for now. I won't stop you.

[ That is until he finds something better for Vincent to try. He's going to make it his mission to find a way to help V. ]

I just demand you actually get some fucking rest, asshole.

[mikoshi]

What, you gonna bring me breakfast in bed? You can't cook, kono baka [ Fuck it, he's not switching keyboards for that. ]

[blyat]

[He gets the sentiment, and because of that doesn't ask anything else.]

"vince"?

[mikoshi]

[ Thank God for that subject change. ]

2/2

[mikoshi]

Guess I owe you cigarettes now, huh?

[blyat]

yeah, if shit gets rough

[In a sense, it already has... if getting mauled by a giant lizard counts. But he gets the point. And even if he won't admit it, it's probably good to have other experienced fighters around.]

can handle a headache and i'm almost done with this pack i got from some guy, so
sure
if you're offering. sounds like you know how to make these.
was it hard to figure out?

[mikoshi]

I am. And I do
Cigarettes are great for bartering
Been rolling them since before I smoked them
Nah. Plant looks a lot like the ones back home
Desert is desert

[blyat]

yeah definitely
alcohol too, except it seems pretty available here
thanks for the cigs

[mikoshi]

Yeah, but alcohol doesn’t calm the nerves or stop hunger quite like nicotine
No prob
Ship and tent north of the camp
Bright orange canopy

[shredder]

the host or w/e that's crashing in my ship
can't say i'm stoked about it but ig there's worse company

sounds crazy man tell me more about it when i find you and your bright ass setup

[ Which, speaking of: I can tag your toplevel if you want an in-person plant delivery! ]

If you want to, definitely!

[mikoshi]

Oh yeah no I told that thing to take a hike
Don't trust like that
I'm the only driver in the seat
Sure thing
