[There's a rustling in the bushes near you, a bit off the beaten path. If you're running, you might entirely miss it, and/or you might mistake it entirely as a monster trying to get you. The wing that sticks out and tries to get your attention is not that of a monster's, though, far smaller and with black and white plumage.

Surprise, it's Gnosis! Is it shocking that the guy who's literally a bird would be turned into one? Probably not. Either way, once he has your attention, he twists his long crane neck toward an alcove of trees, hidden away from the racetrack by heavy foliage. It might be enough to elude the monsters for a time.]

There's a spot here to take a break, if you need it. We can move on when the coast is clearer.

[Right now, Gnosis is preeeeetty sure he can hear something coming. It sounds fast.]

[The snow has melted off. Flowers are springing up, the world is bathed in greens and pastel flower tones, and Gnosis is lamenting the lack of snow. He wants to be cold. >:(

He has a set of seed packets tucked into his vest pocket. Considering the spring weather, he's no longer wearing his coat, and he has his sleeves rolled up as he kneels in front of the lab with a trowel. While he was originally going to plant these seeds in the greenhouse, he reasons the spring weather is perfect for planting, and the greenhouse should probably be utilized for other things. It's mostly Add's, anyhow. Besides, a splash of colour and having food right outside his door so he has even less reason to leave the lab will improve the place.

So. He's digging spots to plant those seeds. There isn't a spare trowel next to him, but there's one in the lab, if you want to help. As you pass, he at least bothers to give you an acknowledging nod and a wave.]

[hello throw anything you want at the bird, he's doin bird things. i didn't make a prompt for it but if anyone wants to explore the new areas, we can try to determine the skeleton's age. super fun nerd shit goin on here.]
