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🚬

Just this one. Back home, in the desert, where we couldn't trade for smokes cause we were in the middle of fucking nowhere, we'd forage for similar plants — desert and coyote tobacco

Doesn't taste the same as the tobacco everyone's used to, ain't as strong. But it'll do in a pinch

Like it more, sometimes. Smoother, peppery

[shredder]

you've gotta work with what you've got
i feel that
gotta say tho it's still kinda badass you knew exactly what you were looking for
not many people know their plants where i'm from

[ Aside from, like. Fake flowers. ]

and ykw after sucking in all this clean air something peppery sounds like the perfect way to wind down
you gonna be posted up somewhere later? for special deliveries?

[mikoshi]

Foraging is one of the first things nomad kids get taught — teaches you a lot about the dangers of the desert, and we can squeeze into smaller spaces than adults

[ He doesn't think it's badass — just practical — but he'll take the compliment anyways. ]

Yeah, watch out for all the silica. Bad for your lungs
Tent and ship farthest north at the camp, bright orange canopy. I'm also wearing orange

[ Children being put to work in every universe, it seems! That's probably not a good thing, but needs must, etc... ]

you sound just like my copilot man
but dw i'll mask up
and when i find these plants of yours i'll come running
good call on the color btw
so much tan around here i'm going blind

[mikoshi]

Copilot?
If lungs weren't swappable more nomads would be dead from silicosis, s'all I'm saying
It's called 'safety orange' back home
Complementary contrast with the blue sky
Can see me and my ship over ten miles away

i lost this notif NOOOO

[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
and maybe it's saving me from a lung swap which we do NOT have back home
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
