Watch Your Step — Netbook

[bajamutblast]

[Early in April, a note appears in everyone's netbooks. It's written with a steady, if fanciful hand.]

In a few weeks, a number of flowers will begin to propagate within the woods. I have laid these out along the perimeter, just a few feet within the start of the trees.
These flowers will be either white or purple, I know not how they will develop. I will include a sketch below of what they will look like.
Whatever color they are, they are dangerous when consumed and deadly when applied to wounds. Take heed and do not pluck them unless you are adequately prepared.

[True to his word, Dion draws a flower below. It isn't professional by any stretch, he's no artist, but it gets the job done.]

That sounds like a terrible idea.

[bajamutblast]

And why, pray tell, do you feel this way?

[outofsynth]

Not everyone avoids the woods because they're dangerous. If you have to grow something poisonous why wouldn't you do it where you can watch them?

[bajamutblast]

They will not grow as they should without a hostile environment. Nothing is more hostile here than these woods. Besides, my hope is that danger they pose will prove to also be a deterrent to any sort of predators in the area.

[outofsynth]

Would they even know? From the way you're describing them it doesn't sound like they're exactly native to this place.

[bajamutblast]

Ideally, no. Thus, if any creatures were to attempt to eat them, or cut into them, they would be caught unawares.

[outofsynth]

What about animals that aren't predators? Or one of us who doesn't see this?

[bajamutblast]

I will ensure that the warning is placed somewhere within the inn as well.
I assure you, I am no fool

[Min remains unconvinced, but it doesn't sound like he's about to be swayed and at least he's taking some precautions.

Besides, he really needs to stop getting into arguments on the netbooks.]

Okay, but it still seems pretty risky. I don't think you should replace them once you've picked them.

[Which seems to be what he's planning to do? Min-Gi isn't sure whether that's a relief or not.]

[bajamutblast]

[Sorry to disappoint, Min-Gi but....]

if the plants prove to be useless, i will diminish their crop to a more secure, less trod upon area.
if they prove to be useless.

[outofsynth]

But you don't actually plan to stop growing them even if they're not?

[bajamutblast]

They are important to me. So no.
