[ oh. they also flash a peace sign then but with confused vibes. ]

The apple tree?

... Yeah.

[ yeah... ]

[kumeyuri]

[LOOKS AT THEM LIKE CAN I HAVE EXPLANATION PLS]

[holyspirits]

[ they give a very helpless shrug. ]

We're... looking into that. That's new. Not the tree, but...






[ SHRUGS AGAIN...... ]

[kumeyuri]

Can't we just get rid of the tree?

[holyspirits]

If you can find a way to do so, I suppose there's nothing stopping you.

I'm not sure if any of the weapons we saw on Friday would be right for the job, though.

[kumeyuri]

[uruha knows that logically he cannot cut down a tree with a sword without his spirit energy but damn it's tempting]

Can't get a hold of an axe or something?

[holyspirits]

Dangerous items can't be ordered through the kiosk, so... I don't think so.

We intended for you to be able to change this place as you see fit, but we weren't expecting that kind of landscaping.

[kumeyuri]

You mean it reacted to Jing Yuan-san even to an extent, or something?

[holyspirits]

No, not like that. More like the way that some of you hung up fairy-lights or made memorial displays for the lost.

[kumeyuri]

What, like a focus on death?

[holyspirits]

I mean that you are all free to change this space as you see fit. But it isn't shifting in reaction to you.

You're just decorating it. With your hands. So... Jing Yuan didn't really do anything to it.

[kumeyuri]

Are you saying someone here wished for this?

[holyspirits]

Um. No.

I don't know how someone would make the apples magic with their bare hands. All you who have abilities or magic have had it sealed.

[kumeyuri]

Good. Then, what exactly are you saying?

[holyspirits]

[ ???? ]

That you can cut down the tree if you can find a way to do so.

[kumeyuri]

I meant about why the tree started doing this in the first place!

[holyspirits]

Oh.

[ they shrug! they said they're looking into it so they do not have a solid answer to give. but... ]

Perhaps it's a test of character.

[kumeyuri]

Can we get less extreme tests of character?

[holyspirits]

I would like that too.

Though, given many of the answers to the poll this week, as well as some of your histories, a test like this almost feels necessary.

[kumeyuri]

I can see your point there, but it feels unfair to penalize the victim for the decision of someone else.

[holyspirits]

Of course.

I would like it if it were a test with much more controlled results. A simulation would be better. Though, knowing it was a simulation would likely skew the results. So.

[kumeyuri]

The more I hear about the criteria behind tests like these, the less I like them.
