Me and Pusekatt are feeling kind of crowded by the city, so we want to move out more into the country! And so Thorim's not taking up space in your yard anymore.

[she is]

[penduli]

[ rip elkson. ]

I don't mind him that much. [ .............. ] But thanks. It's a little nervewracking to be working on pruning and turning around to find him just... silently standing there.

[captainobnoxious]

Have you tried offering to prune him?

[... Just asking.]

[penduli]

...Wouldn't that hurt him?

[captainobnoxious]

Do trees have feelings?

[.............]

Actually, no, you're right, it might hurt him, because trees definitely have feelings if rocks do... but if he's looking at you, there's probably something dead that's weighing him down.

[penduli]

Rocks don't have feelings. [ please. ] I'll ask him when I get home, I guess, if White hasn't taken care of it before then.

[ she's a proactive girl, she might. ]

[captainobnoxious]

Rocks do have feelings.

[this is where we're getting stuck]

[penduli]

[ oh my god. ]

No, they don't.

[captainobnoxious]

Then explain why they don't apathy the world.

[this was supposed to be a serious thread about seriously exploring but here we are]

[penduli]

They don't have the capacity to?

[ i can't believe we're actually arguing this??? ]

[captainobnoxious]

Not normally, but here? They might! And I have good intel that things that don't experience emotions make the world all weird and grey and stuff!

[.......]

From an actual person who does stuff like that with his non-emotions!

[penduli]

...People have the ability to experience them in the first place though, rocks don't. [ p l e a s e understand. ] Just because they don't doesn't mean they're not able to, it's just... harder?

[ M...aybe.......??? ]

Rocks are brainless.

[captainobnoxious]

... So they experience feelings, it's just harder for them to?

[?????]

What do brains have to do with it?

[penduli]

You need a brain to have emotions.

[ ... ]

It's... a lot of chemical stuff I don't really get, to be honest, but that's that.

[captainobnoxious]

I'm still going to say they have feelings by this world's standards, because everything works on emotions.

[i'm sorry you're not taking her and her bff's epiphany from her]

[penduli]

[ oh my god ]

...Whatever makes you happy, Miss Sigrun.

[captainobnoxious]

And this does.

So what're you collecting those for anyway? [the shards] Gonna experiment with them or something?
