「 REMEMBER YOUR APPOINTMENT」

[drawback]

[ It looks like you have an appointment and you have been brought in from the waiting room. There is a chair for your to lounge on--

Wait, are you seeing a shrink? Can't be! You're generally sane... Right?

Right...? ]

The doctor will be right with you. For now, I'll just conduct a general evaluation. Mind if I ask you questions?

Comments

[drawback]

I guess we'll never know till we can be ducks ourselves. [ he wonders what kind of life that would be...

It must be horrible.

Okay, back to the garden. ]

[unsecure]

[ Damien tries to think about it, but he hits a rut. He eyes the garden... sounds like a good idea to transition now. He stands up properly and goes to toddle towards the garden now. ]

[drawback]

[ There's a nice gates that opens to a literal foliage auditorium-like area. There are even butterflies inside though not that many. The ceiling is also quite high, but are laced with vines. ]

Most of the time this place is a little humid.

[unsecure]

For the plants, right? [ He looks around the garden in awe. It really reminds him of a lot of Ruuri's own, except this is in a grander scale. ]

It's so cool...

[drawback]

Yeah. Most plants can't live in the cold, right? [ He waves at the gardeners that are stationed and they greet him as usual. ]

You're not allergic to anything, right?

[unsecure]

I don't think I am... [ In all his imagined life, he doesn't remember being allergic to anything ever. ]

My caretaker also has a garden... or something like that. He also grows a bunch of plants. So... I like seeing these kinds of things. It's kind of neat.

[drawback]

[ Damien and his new life... New adventures... Lack of allergies. Many opportunities.He thinks that's nice! He has a tree in front of his house and stuff, but it's not like he knows how to properly take care of it. To be quite honest, all of these plants look the same to him. ] I'm glad there are signs.

[ How else would he know if this plant is an actual thing or just a common weed?! ] Are any of these in your garden?

[unsecure]

Um... Those. Over there. [ Damien points to several plants that are rather spaced out. The common fig, aloe, something that resembles a cactus, and a tree that is rather spiky. ]

[drawback]

Oh wow... That's quite a lot. [ He raises his eyes. Usually no teenager has the patience to do all of that. ]

I think everything I touch dies.

[unsecure]

I don't think that's reassuring to hear from anybody.

[ Not that he minds hearing it anyway. ]

Did you have a bad experience with one?

[drawback]

... Actually, not really.

I have a pretty big tree in the front of my house, but my neighbors have been taking care of it for a while. [ He just has never taken care of anything in his own house aside from the class hamster. ]

[unsecure]

Then you can't really say that everything you touch dies because you haven't really tried.

[ He's beginning to think that Cameron is just lazy with that sort of thing. ]

[drawback]

My pet hamster died once... [ Here comes the tale that isn't true.

Are you ready, Damien?! ]

[unsecure]

Did you forget to feed it one day...

[ He's not sure if he's ready?!?!! ]

[drawback]

No... It just suddenly died out of fright. I'm not sure why since all I did was hold it. [ Damiens... ]

[unsecure]

Maybe you just scared the heck out of the hamster somehow.

[ He thinks it's strange because-- ]

You're not that scary though.

[drawback]

Really? That's good to hear. I don't think it would go well for my patients if I was scary.

[ Let this tale plague you for life, Damien. ]

[unsecure]

Animals are kinda weird though. Animals never liked Frosty. Probably because he was too cold wherever he went.

[ poor polar bear ]

[drawback]

... Frosty? The snowman? [ He tilts his head while he looks over the flower bed on this side.

sad life. ]

[unsecure]

He's kind of like a snowman, except he's not white. He has black hair and blue-green eyes. He's also tall and it's cold wherever he goes.

He also handed me an urban dictionary.

[ ........... well ]

[drawback]

Oh. Is that his actual name? [ In reality, Cameron wants to say WHAT?

what


okay


what




kay ]

[unsecure]

No... I don't think it is. I just forgot his name and I usually call him Frosty. I don't think he minds.

[ cammy pls ]

[drawback]

He sounds pretty chill. [ Don't

say anything, Damien.




Cameron isn't aware which is why he ventures over to the venus flytraps. ]

1/2

[unsecure]

[ At first he just stares at Cameron for a bit, until-- ]

[unsecure]

--Why are you walking there?
