Open Post: Curiosity

[sporesprouter]

Tress is, as she often is, in her workshop. However, what she is doing in her workshop is not even close to her usual activities.

Instead of her usual array of spores and sprouter's gear, she has found some more standard tools which are sitting on the table next to a rubber mat that is holding... a toaster. She secreted one from a kitchen that isn't particularly used. To the side are a couple books from the library as well as her open notebook.

She turns the toaster upside down and starts undoing some screws on the bottom of the case.

After all, the best way to figure something out is often to gain practical knowledge.

"What! Is thy bloodlust not yet sated?"

[sporesprouter]

"Well, if we think of another experiment that would have us do it again."

"With a brain like thine, that's no safe conditional," Laertes laughs. He picks up a tiny little screw, no bigger than the stem of an acorn, and drops it into the gaping slot of the toaster.

She laughs and drops the bits she's collected into the toaster's innards as well. "One thing at a time, though. I think that's it?"

"Ay, that's all." He gathers up the toaster, cupping his shirt underneath to catch any debris, and sets off for the mansion. "Where wilt thou place these? In thy workshop?"

[sporesprouter]

"For now, yes. If nothing happens after a few days, maybe I'll move them to a room that's used less often."

[timebethine]

"Then I'll bring my hammer up to set with them, and we'll see what magic this places wreaks."

"I'll have to do my best not to peek too much."
