video from greenhouse

[ As usual, Gyousou has been visiting the greenhouse to check on the small plant from his world. Which, in turn, has led him to some navel-gazing. ]

I have been thinking recently on the future of this journey of ours. Preparation is key for any venture, and perhaps we have been too reactionary... We are able to purchase animals and supplies, but perhaps it might be worthwhile to request a riboku, so that we might grow animals of our own and gain some self-sufficiency. I'm not familiar with customs for the creation of a riboku outside of my own land, but in Tai the village would assemble in a festival gathering, so that their prayers may all be heard.

[ He smiles slightly, expression wry. ] Ordinarily, we would also register the settlement on the divine lists... but here I suppose notifying the train itself would work just as well.

[OoC: Threads can and will be threadjacked by Taiki as he tries to do cultural damage control, let me know in your tag if that's not okay!]

[Webmind's first reaction to this post is just. Blankfaced confusion. Who in the what, now?

Still, he's talked to Lord Gyousou by now; in all likelihood this is simply the man bringing up something from his home to use as a resource. So he recovers, and says:]

I do not believe riboku exist in any of our worlds, but if they are something that can be made to fit within the confines of the train, they do sound useful for the long-term.

Precisely. [ He was bracing to have to explain again, but it's heartening to have Webmind just accept it. ]

The process is intricately linked with the heavens, so I could not promise success in this place... but I believe it would be worth the attempt.

If it is meant to be a naturally-growing thing, perhaps it can function away from its source, much as several of the Voidtreckers here can.

[Much as Webmind himself could function outside of the Internet while here, though he did not think of himself as divine in any way.]

The natural order and the law of the heavens are one and the same, but if Kouri and myself can survive here, then a riboku may also have a chance.

It is interesting how that works.

I wish you luck in finding a space for such a tree - and I can lend a more physical hand if needed, as well.
