Narration
*starry sat on the chair, spun around backwards so her chin was resting on the back of the chair, her head tilted forward, the ugly, jagged, raw scar on her neck on full display, the roots pressing against the loose skin, trying to repair the scar tissue and serving as a perfect indicator for this.*
*Sage came in with a scalpel, several bottles of alcohol, and an old fashioned juke box.* Right what are we in the mood for, Bach? Adele? Jessie and the weeds?
Ha! You know I donāt listen to that floret crap. I can only listen to so many plantfucking metaphors you know?
I know I know. How about some good charlotte? I think the guitar solo helped last time.
I was thinking some electro swing for today funnily enough.
Hmm⦠fair. *offering one of the bottles as the sound of a big brass band starts playing from the juke box.*
*she cracked it open and chugged, the pure alcohol hit her system almost instantly, she squeezes her thumb on her other hand to stop her gag reflex, she drinks about half of the bottle before passing it back, already well past the point of being healthily drunk and to the point of Delirium.*
*splashing the rest of the bottle over her vines and scalpels before the last bit is used to wash her scar, sterilize it before the scalpel is pressed against it.*
*The scalpel opens the layers of skin, opening the skin wide with tiny, delicate vines until the first root is seen, a tiny splash of alcohol on it and it moved, twitches, tiny roots coming and weaving into the sliced flesh, trying to rapidly close the wound only for them to be interrupted by sageās leaves, the plant matter shifted and started to try and attack the leaves as a foreign body, letting out caustic materials directly into the leaves and burning them from the inside out.*
*while this was happening rhe incredibly drunk starry was doing something with a watch on her wrist. The display showed command prompt line and a keyboard, she typed in something and she began to shiver as the vines started fighting harder against sage*
*adding a more leaves to the wound and gently pulling the roots back, a little bit more of the plant matter getting pulled out much to the displeasure of said plant matter which began forming thorns to stab into the leaves as another attempt to remove sage from inside starryās body*
*the next moment, starry vanished into thin air. Only reappeared on the other side of the room, gasping for air and collapsed to the ground*
*that wasnāt sageās focus at the moment, instead she focused on the thing still wrapped in her vines. While starry had teleported, the plant matter hadnāt. It was a 2 foot long root with vines, leaves, even a few flowers absolutely covered in starryās blood.*
*The plant matter in question writhed and lashed out, blades and thorns lashing out at sageās vines as it attempted to pump her full of acids to dissolve her.*
*Alas sage just let those leaves fall, allowing the plant Matter to fall directly into the supplied jar before the wall panel opens to reveal a collection of about a hundred jars matching this one, kept in stasis. Once placed with the other then sage gets her focus put back on the bleeding girl.*
*She was on the ground, holding her neck as blood gushed from the wound, the act of removing that plant matter from her caused a ton of damage to her insides, but theyād done this before*
*sage knew what to do as her vines snake inside the girl, she wasnāt as skilled as an affini but she could at least fix the bleeding! The wound was stabilized and stitched closed pretty quickly as Sage stepped in front of starry, a bit more alcohol being used to wash the blood off the girl and her leaves before the rest of that bottle is offered to starry.*
*she takes it, chugs it, and laughs as she tossed the bottle aside* take that weeds! Iām not your fu-hic-ucking floret! *she looked incredibly happy, but also incredibly drunk.*
*Sage helped her to her feet* yes, youāre a rebel through and through. You did great. Letās get you some rest.
Y-yeah⦠fucking weeds⦠*she passes out*
best damn m pilot on t erra but even better at pusging everyone I care about away. Heh . Unddefeated. Best s stupid asshole e ver. My dear friend vodka will never leave me.

*a crackle over ship comms* hehehe~ golly you can really sling it back for a non floret~ impressive!
Starry you canāt just-
Iām not one of your puppies, if you got a problem with it talk with Eli it was their idea anyways. Anyways hi little rebel! You wanna give me access to your ship computer so I can figure out what your deal is?
Do I look like a fucking idiot? No Iām not giving you access to my ship. I donāt even know who you are. Itās a closed system with no outer connection so good luck.
Terra invicta
Ohhhh~ youāre on one of those models? Well as long as youāre not one of those domestication vessels you should be good. I would recommend altering course by 10 degrees though or you might end up crashing into our base~
Starry!
Itās fine she wonāt remember! And do you wanna explain to luna how her super secret anti accord sanctuary turned rebel base got collided with durring her nap?
⦠okay fine but if we get domesticated cause of this

Are we bad people? I mean the affini only really want us to be happy⦠is that so bad?
I⦠donāt wanna say yes but Iām not sure. I do know their methodology is flawed, if they didnāt claim to be perfect and were open with everyone things might have gone better on Terranās front.
The affini have found so many creatures on planets still clinging to old relics of faith they let the worship they receive from these creatures that mistakenly assume them to be gods fill their minds, and their egos inflated because of how much better off they made the lives of their worshippers by giving them what they consider to be the bare minimum.
Golly we forgot to turn on asks lol!
ā¦Wasnāt that your job?
Irrelevant!
My scars are gone
I never cut deep enough to leave a scar
I remember a girl with a bandage on her wrist
I only showed her once
She trusted me
Thatās not⦠what I needed.
I needed to know I could be safe to tell her the truth
I didnāt want her suffering to end⦠it ended so⦠fastā¦
I resented her
I hated how her life was miserable
How her body failed her
How her family failed her
How Iā¦
I resented how despite all that I wouldāve traded lives in a heartbeat
I hate how I didnāt want us better
I knew weād get better eventually
I wanted to hold onto her until things Got better.
When we were both in late 20ās
We planned to retire together one day
You said you wanted a lot of space to run around in
Cause that was when we talked
We walked and talked
That was our friendship
Corridors and passageways, always headed elsewhere
I miss how effortless it was
I hope youāre happy
I hope she treats you the way you wanted
Between my would-be assassin and your hot and cold bae
You did choose right
I donāt fault that
I just wish I couldāve been your friend through it all
Iām happy where I am
I hope we both are
But Iād much rather be happy with youā¦
Sometimes I wonder if that wouldāve helped us. If we made a method so we couldnāt cut deep but we could cut enough⦠at which point maybe weād take turns, trading knives and cuts, holding hands under the stars⦠not fixed, but broken togetherā¦
do you have any fun plant facts youād like to share? Any fun recipes? We Terran always thirst to learn more about what surrounds us uwu
Ahem - my floret just happened to be reading over my shoulder, and wishes to add her own input on this particular question. Yes, darling, I suppose you can be an honorary loret for this one.
Velvet Prosopis, 4th bloom
Hey! Did you know that Terran coffee used to actually taste good? The synth stuff from before the Compact was all grain byproducts, but even the "RealTerra⢠Organic Coffee" wasn't real coffee, it was grown off proprietary-restriction chicory flowers! I got to learn this from a real savvy first-bloom named Cornflower who showed up to Terra as a xenobotanist. He taught me about the chicoreum flower, which got bred to have caffeine in it, and about the real coffee bean plant that was just for trillionaires. But now I get to have them too, you can just compile them!
And they're amazing! It wasn't just a cheap synthetic wake-up drug, people used to actually enjoy it for itself! It goes great with milk, sugar, butter, chiles, tons of different spices, that one beeple honey they don't like to tell you about, vodka, whiskey, apocynai, like I know apocynai goes good with like everything but you know, all sorts of good stuff!
Mesquite Prosopis, 8th floret
Golly... would almost make me jealous if sage didn't have her own secret stash she genetically modified herself. That being said I have not tried butter in my coffee... I might have to try that out!
Starry you don't even like coffee, i'm not letting you waste a cup, we might have an excess but not nearly enough for me to let you waste like I know you will.
*already sneaking Starry a small shot glass full of coffee with a small amount of melted butter mixed in*

Hmmā¦
What?
Oh nothing just⦠the Affini seen kinda eldritch dontcha think?
I mean⦠thatās kinda the point right?
No I mean like in a thematic parallel kinda thing!
I⦠donāt get it.
Well like in the old stories about a patron god who promises prosperity to the people of a kingdom in return for a human sacrifice?
⦠shut up and keep making out with me ya starsdamned floret!~
Iām not a Flo-mmph! *muffled words followed by kissy noises*
*Sunny and Luna sat on their knees, attached to their faces were dog muzzles between them one more muzzle laid on the ground, their eyes were transfixed straight ahead as Stormy paced back and forth in front of them*
Itās been months since we made contact! Where is she?
We could⦠uhā¦. Do a rescue?
A rescue? Oh thatās wonderful planning there, if only Iād have thought about sending a team of rebels onto a weed ship to rescue a floret before sheās gets a worm put in her head. Itāll go great!
ā¦S-sorry handlerā¦
What if we just sent in one person? Iām not on any of my lists, and we can bring sage along! She could pretend to be a weed and-
Sunny Zappies.
*the girlās eyes widen as she suddenly collapsed to the floor, her metal muzzle banging hard against the floor, her body spasming* and do what exactly? We donāt have field operatives anymore, and if sage is ever found out there goes our one possible advantage!
H-handler stop! Please! Sheās just trying to help!
⦠*sigh* Crystalizeā¦
*the girl on the ground whimpers and curls into a ball, repeatedly apologizing, under her breath*
Iām sorry Iām sorry Iām sorry Iām sorry*shaky breath* It was a stupid plan Iām a stupid, worthless girl I wonāt do it again in I promise Iām sorryā¦
Good girl. *crouches down and gently pets her head* You are right though, youāre only counted as missing so most affini wonāt be looking for you as a means of possible rescue and not domestication. At the very least it might be useful to have boots on the ground. Think you can do a solo mission for me?
*like a switch sunny instantly sits back up and excitedly bounces a bit an incredibly wide smile adorned her face* yes!! That would be so cool! I will do my best for you handler!
*a few more pets to the head* good girl~ then maybe thatāll be our plan. Now I think k the two of you have earned a small amount of oblivion as a treat~
*the girls both smile happily, sitting up extra straight, chiming in unison* yes handler!
Im so lucky to have such wonderful hounds at my disposal~ alright then~
Off the leash~
Hmm⦠I wonder⦠hey sunny do you still have that beeple honey you snagged from that one raid?
Yeah? why? I'm pretty sure that shit's too strong for any of us?
Beeple Mead
What?
Beeple. Mead.
I⦠I'm listening?
well, we just need of the right yeast and it'll eat the sugars in the honey~
we⦠still can't have it?
I mean not a lot of it, sure, but imagine for a party, an eighth a shot of beeple mead in the punch bowl and you can get a good 100 people happily buzzed
wasā¦. was that a pun?
*coming out of her room wearing a pair of bell bottoms and a bright blue corset*
No! Not allowed!
:(
Why do you hate the affini if you grew up in the compact?
My kind were born from sentient plantlife, much as the affini, but we didnt make it as far before they found us. They gave us praise and cheered that we made it as far as we did before they introduced us to their world⦠we thought they were like us, I mean hell youāve seen Star Trek, how many times do their alien species just look like yours but with some minor alterations? We had simmilar cultural ideals as we tried to climb our way out into the stars.
Less than 2 years, according to their estimates I think, from discovering jump drive technology and carving our own destiny among the stars. I mean for lightās sake the affini even told us we were doing everything right when they arrived, we already figured out world peace, we kept our planetās ecosystem alive and healthy, we cared for every creature we could because we figured ourselves capable of protecting them. And instead they hobbled us right at the finish line. So many of my kind accepted their offer of ascension, and instantly turned their back on our way of life!
Theyāre not even my friends anymore, the affini are just so used to lying to anyone they even start lying to themselves. But they donāt have nodes anymore, they fill their bodies with delicate plants that weād wilt within a day they distance themselves from the universe, we are made to infest and spread and grow and change, when parts of ourselves get too old we cannibalize them and reabsorb the leftover nutrients we donāt justā¦. Toss everything except for one giant oversized node?
But no thatās what they try to teach us is acceptable, and most affini born from us donāt even mention their time as one of us, opting to say theyāre whatever type of plant their core was grown out of is what they identify as.
Thatās why I hate them.
I struggled, I worked, I scraped together what I could only to be listed as unfit for life on my own, and they attempted to domesticate me.
I was able to hide a node collection well enough that even I couldnāt find it after I was implanted, meaning there is a version of me out there, a broken, desperate pet that will have who I am erased from my nodes and replaced with an obedient cog in the affiniās party.
But hey, at least part of me survived right?
Finding yourself without a leader sucks.
Finding yourself elected as the leader after your previous leader attempts to infiltrate enemy lines so they can rescue their wife? Yeah that sucks harder
Hey guys, check this out! *immediately disassociates and forgets where she is for a second*
I have forgotten the movie weāve been watching 3 times already.
⦠weāre⦠*checking the time* 11 minutes in! How??
