14th bloom; toxication

[punchtheflowers]

Al'right, so Erika's left me this inventory list've shit to take care of with the greenhouse. Guess I've been busy with that instead've looking for another part time job right now... though if the school wants t'pay me for this, I'm not gonna say no.

Insulation needs t'be taken down now that it's gotten warmer, and the glass could use a washing. Whole place needs a clean, actually. Caim, I dunno how good you are with gardenin', but you're gettin' to that before the flower plantin' starts.

= = =

I've been on craigslist Markslist t'sell off some junk here and there and... I found some TMs for a good deal. The guy was al'right tradin'em for the Choice Specs I found, so I might just go for it.

No point in keepin' useless stuff in my moveset anymore. I think I've sorta moved past hanging onto it. Might as well play up the strengths I got left.

I think that's a good step... right?

[Vinnie nodded and grinned in a quiet, simple acknowledgment of the fact.]

If you want, I could try and see if anyone has an Everstone for sale on that site.

[He still didn't necessarily agree with refusing to evolve, but if that was what his brother needed, he'd do it.]

[punchwaves]

[Marie's timid smile returned. He was well aware of Vinnie's opinion of his decision to resist evolving, and that made the offer all-the-more meaningful.]

Yeah, that'd help. But I don't really have anything to trade...

[Well, he had the mystic water Red had given him for his birthday, but that was definitely not up to be traded.]

[punchtheflowers]

Hrm. Some people take money, but not all've'em. I think I've seen some guys on the digging forums with a whole lotta stones, but they usually want orbs or somethin' in return.

[Well, it was time to get an underground kit and go mining, clearly.]

[punchwaves]

[Only you would read a digging forum, Vinnie.]

Orbs...? I mean, maybe Red could lend me the money for one.

[Or Mom.]

[Hey man shut up man. He kills a lot of time on the Internet on reddit seenit.com]

Apparently they grow when you bury'em in the earth. Never heard of a rock actin' like a plant before, but... [He shrugged!] They use'em like currency.

[punchwaves]

Oh. That's weird.

[He considered this for a second.]

So, like, what, you just dig them up and buy stuff with them?

[punchtheflowers]

That's what some guys do. Make a livin' off of it... but I think you have t'go underground or somethin'. Maybe like that Mineshaft game Red plays all the time?

[punchwaves]

[Marie wrinkled his nose at the idea of having to go digging underground just to pay for an Everstone. Maybe he could get Chika to do it...]

Eh. I guess just tell me if you see anything, and what they want or whatever. Hopefully soon. Sucks, walking around without one.

[punchtheflowers]

[There were hopefully people who weren't underground enthusiasts - trainers with too many items on their hands, maybe - who were willing to part with an Everstone. They seemed to be popular with some breeders as well, but that was a circle Vinnie had no interest in.]

Yeah, but at least your stomach's gotta feel lighter like this.

[punchwaves]

[If Marie wasn't so high-strung, he probably would have laughed. Instead, he just shrugged.]

I dunno, feels like a big weight on my shoulders instead.
