[You know, Astralin has tablets back at home. He KNOWS how to use them, despite being a farm hand. This tablet was no different.

Or maybe it was.

Fellow Chosen, you may be getting multiple pictures of cows, chickens, piglets, chocobos, a frozen morbol coming your way. Accidents certainly happen, and he meant to be sending these pictures to his friends, but... He accidentally hit the send all button, and there's nothing he can do about it now.

So, enjoy those pictures of multiple animals in different angles.]

[Mistaking this to be a sharing of observations on fauna, Erichthonios replies with several short videos of ambystoma, including one mysteriously up in the branches of a tree.]

[Quite curiously pressing on the videos, he watches them in silence. Not at all minding his own observations, since he's never seen any of these fauna before.]

What do you call these? I have never seen these before.

Video

[beshackled]

They are ambystoma, one of the aquatic creations found in my world. Though we did not make these little ones here...

[scythedance]

Oh my, I must admit, they are rather cute... I would like to see one up close, if that is possible. Do you know the approximate of your location?

[beshackled]

You will find them near sources of fresh water. All I have sighted have been in the forest.

[scythedance]

Ah, thank you, friend. I will not forget that, as I am interested in seeing them up close...

[He sends a picture of the frozen morbol to Erich next.]

These... Are called morbols, are they not? Do they hail from your world?

[beshackled]

Aye, we have morbols. They are ambulatory flora that use their noxious breath to ennervate prey and would-be predators. That one... appears to be one of the smaller specimens, judging from the image.

Would you like assistance in removing it?

[scythedance]

Ah, so it is flora. Quite the oddity it is... It came across my farm and attempted to break through the barrier by using it's... bad breath, but I dispatched of it easily. However, ah... It is quite a hassle to remove, so I would be more than happy to take you up on that offer, Erichthonios.

[ooc: i died in the last thread we did together because Stuff happened but I hope you don't mind some assumed CR with name sharing!!]

I do not mind!

[beshackled]

Have you checked the area for any signs of its seed pods?

[Come to think of it... he did not seem all that familiar with morbols.]

...Do you know what they look like?

[scythedance]

Ah... I did not think they had seed pods. If they do, that is rather concerning...

[He shakes his head.]

I do not.

[beshackled]

You will be able to track them by their scent, I expect, for they exude an odor most unpleasant. Though you should take care not to remove them with bare hands, lest you come in contact with their poisonous coating…

[Although not quite as potent as the breath of the adult specimen, it is nevertheless an unpleasant experience.]

Fortunately, the pods only house one seed each, and the seedlings are not too difficult to deal with.

[scythedance]

I will keep that in mind. I do not think gloves will help in that instance, but I will use my scythe to rid of any seeds I find when I do my search.

[Why does this creature smell so bad!!]

Would you like me to bring you back any specimens? You are also free to examine the morbol at my farm, if you would like. Although, it is... Very dead.

Just don't be that one cook from the future who makes a niche alcohol out of the seed...

[beshackled]

I would not dream of keeping a living morbol in an area like this.

[It's far too aggressive. A danger to any animal and more than a few plants should they be doused by its 'breath'.]

A controlled burn of the flora is the usual manner of disposing their bodies, and it would be best not to be downwind of any smoke he fire generates. While the effects of its poison do not last indefinitely, they are still... on the intense side.

that's one hell of an alcohol

[scythedance]

Fire... Unfortunately, I do not wield any fire abilities, so I will have to call on someone who does.

But ah... I will keep in mind the poison as well. I am a healer of sorts, so if that person is caught in the cross fire I will attempt to heal them of any ailments. But you have been a big help, Erichthonios. Thank you.

Emphasis on the hell, I'm sure

[beshackled]

'Tis no trouble.
