TFTC: The Experiment

You are at the end of this part, yes, my marathon is over, I have no more to give you, wish me luck. Thank you Zamnesia and Plagron, this has been fun in the kind of way any marathon is, utter pain but finding out your limits. Now, hopefully you haven't reached your limit as here is another episode of "TFTC: The Experiment". {--💩===👻---💀===👽---[:(⚪⬜🔺) oO===Oo (🔺⬜⚪):]---👽===💀---👻===💩---} Bigger flowers, more hairs, some of them were turning an amber colour, also some of the small leaves close to the hairs were covered in a silver shiny substance, when looked at very closely, they are miniscule crystal looking mushrooms. These plants are really odd, just hope this week someone can help identify what is being grown here. Before my hunt for help could begin there was an issue we had to deal with, tension had been building, not obvious like when people fight, but some people were not talking, some people were giving stares at others when thought to be unobserved. Tension like this can turn to resentment, and resentment is the easiest and fastest way to destroy any relationship, my training in Sociology taught me that. It took me a few days of investigating but soon the issue was uncovered and the bottom of this issue was in view. Apparently the triangles were annoyed at the circles because the circles felt like the triangles had a lack of “field” experience, in fact they had a joke when any triangle tried to suggest a new way of doing things the circle would say “oh, did you learn that in the field?” very clever, most triangles either didn’t get the joke or would become annoyed. The triangles were annoyed because they felt that the squares paid little attention to suggestions and just demanded where to find things, also the squares were annoyed with the circles claiming they sat around weeding and drinking all day, which was not true, I had been keeping an eye on that as alcoholism is a horrible curse. Finally it was time to enact a protocol that everyone signed, yes I got signatures, this was a plan where if something was happening that might destroy us we will gather and talk about it, most people signed to shut me up. Everyone gathered around a big bonfire that night, the squares made some benches for everyone to sit on, I thanked them, they said they wished they had more time so they could have made recliners for when people fell asleep from boredom. We talked for a few hours, it took a while to get going, but eventually all the issues were aired, everyone had their say, we developed a system of communication which would allow everyone to have their say in the community, it also meant that unless someone was in danger, there was no need to just jump in and tell them what they should be doing, we now discussed ideas at the end of the day before making plans for the next one. At the end we all had a few drinks and it felt like the group had just released a breath it had been holding, The couple announced they were moving, we all celebrated and the tracker offered them some advice in private, well it would have been private if I had not listened in, it was all about keeping warm, a lot of it was sexualised of course. Before leaving, there was a task that I had set myself and there all alone was a botanist, easy prey. Instead of just saying what was happening, it felt time to try subterfuge and use the classic “I saw something that looked like…” trick. The persons eyes lit up, apparently my plants are something called marijuana. After getting all the information it was time for bed, alcohol is nice but just not for me. My mind went to the plants, it appeared they acted a lot like a community in a way, some leaves got in the way and needed addressing, an even application of nutrients were needed, care and consideration was used when dealing with them as they were living entities, over that week it would have been easy to use solid logic and tell people they were being morons, but that would just redirect peoples ire, instead if you coax and gently direct things to the right place they will sort themselves out. Patience and wait for the… ripe time. {--💩===👻---💀===👽---[:(⚪⬜🔺) oO===Oo (🔺⬜⚪):]---👽===💀---👻===💩---} AAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaand we are done for now. A massive thank you to anyone who reads this, it is a bit of a mess as the writing was done in a pinch, if you look at my page there were three diaries done this week which took a lot of effort on top of my jobs. Big thank you to Patricia from Zamnesia who encouraged me to sign up to this, massive round of applause to Plagron as I now have a new feed and soil that I love, sorry to my old one, you just don't cut the mustard. take care one and all, we will see you soon with more posts.
