Any chance there is anyone among the guilds and unaligned who is particularly good at florakinesis, and possibly genetic manipulation of plant to create new cultivar species?

Trying to recreate something from home, and there's no way I have the abilities or time to do it in this world's technology infrastructure on my own.

The times that I find myself missing the green-tech native to my natin back home are rather intense these days it seems, and there are a few things I wish I could have in my personal space that would make me less homesick. Things I doubt any amount of guild work at interdimensional transit would necessarily allow to travel here.

Pretty sure the FDA and Department of Ag would get upset about interdimensional plant imports.

And before the chuckles, yes, technopath asking for plants. Ha ha ha.

How is dabbling in genetic manipulation of plant-life less risky than interdimensional plant imports?

Plant experimentation can go drastically awry.

[helpdesk_hero]

Yes, it can. Except I know the means to get it done. I just don't have the skill to create the thing.

[mostdangerousbird]

I’m going to hope that our definitions of awry align. If I see any unexpectedly carnivorous plants encroaching on the downtown core…

[helpdesk_hero]

I think they align very well.

I am anti-carnivorous plants. It's not how they work back home.

[mostdangerousbird]

Aside from a few natural options, like flytraps, they’re not how they work where I’m from either.

What kind of plants are you after? I can’t help, but I’m curious.

[helpdesk_hero]

Well, one is going to sound positively impossible. The others are entirely decorative and characteristic to my island home.

[mostdangerousbird]

You’re drawing this out on purpose for effect. What’s your impossible plant?

[helpdesk_hero]

Bagel plant.

[mostdangerousbird]

Am I supposed to take that literally?

[helpdesk_hero]

It's a vine that grows Bagels. Yes.

[mostdangerousbird]

But bagels are yeasted and cooked. That doesn’t even begin to make sense.

It has to be growing something that’s merely bagelesque. Have you done a full chemical analysis of the fruit?

[helpdesk_hero]

And yet I had more than a few breakfasts from the vine. I assure you, it's a full on bagel.

[mostdangerousbird]

If there’s a flower with cream cheese pollen, point me in the direction of your universe.

i can try to make something out of magic but it may get a little bit lil shop o' horrors

[helpdesk_hero]

So I shouldn't trust you with making a bagel-plant?

[ikols]

you can but it may talk
and sass
i don't know much about plants

[helpdesk_hero]

I got enough sass with my bagels by working with Wolverine's son. And Jean-Paul. And so many other people.

And don't tell mini-you that. I almost think he'd want to know what breakfast was like in the Boneyard.

[ikols]

there is so much to unpack there

[helpdesk_hero]

Which parts? You know you're welcome to come over and unpack whatever you want over wine and cheese.

private;

[ikols]

i can't, i'm busy being mad at a boy

[helpdesk_hero]

What boy? Do you need me to hack someone's social media to make them look like an idiot so you feel a bit better?

[ikols]

that is so sweet, david, i really appreciate the offer
i probably shouldn't take you up on it

[helpdesk_hero]

Yeah, probably shouldn't. Doesn't mean I don't owe you.

[ikols]

what do you owe me for?

[helpdesk_hero]

I'm sure one of us could contrive a list. But still being here and being supportive.
