Video;

[It's the middle of the day, not long after quests go up that Akechi greets the Grumpearls with a serious expression.]

Greetings. This is Akechi. To anyone newly arrived, I'm a member of the Oran Berries, and I was also among the group exploring the Northern Forest.

[Images accompany of his words of meandering, overgrown plantlife, strange, glowing vines, and luminous mushrooms eerily aglow.]

As there are multiple quests related to the recent fungal infestation as well as further requests to explore to the north, I'd like to give you all my personal insights.

First...

[He raises a wing, feathers folded in such a way to approximate a hand holding up one finger.]

The spores cause heightened aggression. I highly recommend obtaining some form of facial covering to minimize their effects. While I cannot say how effective it will be, reducing how many spores you inhale will likely serve you well in the long run.

Second...

[He raises another feather.]

Be extra careful when removing the mushrooms. If you can dig around them, that will be ideal, but mushrooms have complex root systems called mycelium, so if you want to be extra cautious, it may be worth digging especially deep. The fruiting bodies are their primary means of reproduction, however, so simply removing and eliminating as many as possible while minimizing contact with the spores would be ideal.

[He tries to convey this with little images of the mushroom caps and the roots spreading far, far beneath the soil.]

Ren and I will return to the northern forest to rectify our... mistake. I also fully intend on gathering and eliminating as many of the mushrooms as possible.

Be smart, expect the worst, and we may be able to overcome this unfortunate infestation.

[... Is he saying that she looks better than a dick???]

Umm? Thanks...?

Kiiinda thought you were into those though...

... Okay.

[What even is this conversation?!]

Thanks... I guess.
telewarped: (That you'd go as far)

Do you really think I care about being charming to anybody? And I don't feel bad, so you really don't have to... do whatever this is.

[She doesn't feel great about it either, but it's not like she needs cheering up (or so she thinks, at least).]

Just consider the warning payment for your little mushroom PSA or whatever.
telewarped: (I will show them)

For you, maybe. Gotta say, your inner mind theater's not making it look all that bad right now. Maybe I want to let loose for a bit.

[She's joking... Mostly?]
telewarped: (Lies right in your hands)

Ooh, spooky!

... Buuut as long as that dickmobile thing you just imagined at me isn't there, I think I can handle it.
