T.K. ☕️🫖

...Boaty! That poor thing! I haven't been thinking straight lately, I'm sorry!

The boat? You mean that thing that crashed into Invitational Island?

Sounds fun!

I haven't had the time to post for a while but I've been doing better. I can't reach Flower to talk to her about what happened, but the crack in my side is barely noticeable now.

I just wanted to say I'm excited for Bonesaw as well as everyone else competing in II IV!

//i assumed that was it but it's still so funny that it looks like they scribbled over her with sharpie bc she took away their ds or something hjbknlhmjk;,

//whys tk scribbled out like shes an ex 😭

//i can change that.

Good! Happy for you two!

Baseball... thank you for helping me... I'm resting today. Do you know if Flower and the twins are all right?

Hello, Flower! I was just about to read to the twins. You should say hi, they missed you!

Visited the twins today... Flower is coming over soon.

Good! keep doing that!

Do you need a map? I can DM you...

I just wanted you to feel like you had potential, like if you just had time to grow you could learn everything they expected from you.

I'm sorry, Baseling. I didn't realize you could accept yourself the way you are right now.

Because I was designed to be a caretaker from the day I was made. I know that's not an excuse! Almost everyone here was programmed into a role, and they're all trying to be something more. It's just... it's hard to explain.

Of course! I didn't mean to discredit anything you were doing!

//i know tk sometimes incorporates hebrew or yiddish into her speech, i would actually love to do that but i don't want it to sound wrong or stilted 😭😭😭 i used to study hebrew but i gave up and i feelhorrible about it i dont remember anything

Even if he's not a child, nobody can learn everything in just three months.

I think it's good to give him a break, but I won't give up hope! Students don't learn K-12 classes all in one sitting, it takes, well, 12 years!

Maybe it's just going to take a few years to teach Baseling everything too.

It's the second twin she's worried about. Their body rejected almost everything she tried to graft to it.

She managed to attach something to keep them stable, but hopefully it's only temporary.

I was surprised, she knew more about plants than I expected.

The first twin responded well, she said. Their stem had the best connection to the pair of legs they shared, so they kept them after the separation. Most of the damage didn't get past the epidermal tissue so it wasn't too hard to fix.

Salt spent a lot of time with them, she used plant grafting techniques in her procedures and collected stems and branches from similar species.

I haven't been able to visit the twins today, but Salt has been giving me updates. (Flower said their names were Forrest and Leafy Jr. but didn't specify which one is which.)

You do chores around the house? You're so kind! Sure, I would watch.

Happy cloneversery, Baseling! I'm so proud of how much you've grown! 🤗

No! It's not!

Please, come over to see them and we can talk everything out!

Flower, I'm so sorry. If you want to know, I'll tell you.

When we found them, they were drowning and their stems were damaged by the seawater. Salt was so sure one of them was going to die that she performed emergency separation surgery.

But they *are* alive, Flower. Both of them. I promise you.

Good morning, Lightbulb! ☺️
