Kind

Survivor

Planting you again would be the true cruelty.

Viney Bush Root

Do you wish to return to the ground?

Do I have to carry it?

Elephant Cactus

I like it dead, but I should plant this.

I like it dead, but I should plant this.

Planting it would prolong its life.

I like it dead, but I should plant this.

Grotesque.

How I envy you.

A symbol of the ugliness of this world.

Even the hideous sleep sounder than I.

Alas, she has fallen from her grotesque perch.

There's dreadfulness everywhere.

That was... unpleasant.

Spiky and smelly!

Less spiky, but even smellier!

Extra Smelly Durian

Miraculously, the seeds don't smell.

Their bitter end protects me from the bitter cold.

Rabbit Earmuffs

But no ear...

One True Earring

An eel.

An eel that has been cooked.

Almost a deadly nightshade. Almost.

Cooking this nightshade made it even less deadly.

Braised Eggplant

It's a nightshade seed.

It's sad and painful.

Elephant Cactus

This plant doesn't want anyone to touch it.

Prickly Elephant Cactus

It's hiding below.

Elephant Cactus Stump

A vessel of aquatic death.

It's burning brightly.

Used up and done for.

Everything dies.

Nature is so boring.

It's burning brightly.

Lumpy Evergreen

Used up and done for.

Lumpy Evergreen

Everything dies.

Lumpy Evergreen

Its cycle of life is ending.

Lumpy Evergreen

That's one stretchy eye.

They follow their master's every wish.

I do not know why it helps me.

Houndius Shootius

I think I need to place it.

Houndius Shootius

I wonder if the bamboo finds this new form agreeable?

This earth is burnt and dead.

What seeds shall I sow?

Leafy tendrils coil out of the muck.

This earth is cold and dead.

That'll make quite a draft.

Ca-caw!

M...maybe I'll doodle something... When no one's looking.

Those dumb birds sure make a speedy sail.

Feather Lite Sail

A crow feather, black like eternal darkness.
