Greenhouse 216

[Raleigh]

*Amusingly despite the fact that Raleigh can guzzle lava if so desired he can't handle spicy foods as well as most people much less what you would expect a more or less draconian ancient like himself to be capable of. This leads to him doing what anyone else would do and running around screaming.* Ack, it's trying to kill me. Aaahhhhh! *Continues to run around in circles for a bit.*

[Feng]

As the Chaijin devil fruit does murder to Raleigh's taste buds, the powerful hallucinogens inherent in the fruit begin to take effect. For starters the boundaries of the desert bio dome begin to stretch out. To Raleigh's perspective this may appear as a long dirt road that stretches out into eternity, passing into the setting sun. Everything outside this path disappears into shadow...

By the way, his tongue is still burning hot!

[Albedo]

"What is this?" Al asks himself as he watches. "Is this his greenhouse, then?"

[Raleigh]

Gah! *Shifts his fingers into blades and opens his mouth and proceeds to tear and slice out his tongue. As he throws it from his body the thing begins to melt away.* Thabt uckth. *His tongue is already being reformed as his hand returns to normal.* Great. Ahh, my tongue is back. Now I just need to find a horse with no name to go with this situation I think. Then again this could be another one of those spirit realms so I might as well explore. *Begins to walk around to determine if this is just a trip or an actual other world currently.*

::Albedo::
<Film> ::Smarch 31st, 2007. Progress has been made on Project Eden. What was once a desolate parking lot is now a hotbed of botanical activity. This will be a perfect environment in which to attempt my attempts to create a plant hybrid, a perfect being that doesn't need to eat or sleep. A creature capable of living solely by photosynthesis! The difficult part now is to get volunteers...::

::Raleigh::

As Raleigh continues down the path he finds himself in the middle of a desert. High above unknown stars blaze as a cool night breeze passes through him. As he walks further on he may notice a couple of pyramids in the distance...

[Albedo]

Getting slightly weirded out by this video, Al begins to look about for signs of this strange experiment.

[Raleigh]

Ah pyramids. Let's see what this is about eh? *Sets off toward the pyramids.*

[Feng]

::Albedo::

Being that this is the Archives, there is no noticeable sign of the experiment in question. Albedo could perhaps search for a file amongst the millions stored within the room (boring!). However, if memory serves, it appears that the video is being shot in a jungle environment. Perhaps its in a certain facility of the greenhouse?

Scientist: Curses. It would appear that the board of ethics found out about my little side project. Among other things they call it inhumane. Fools. This is the future! How dare they hinder my research!

::Raleigh::

As Raleigh approaches the giant monuments the sun slowly begins to rise in the east. As it casts its warm glow over the desert and mountains a low humming noise can be heard playing. High above a curious winged creature flies overhead, casting shadows on the golden sand.

[Albedo]

Al turns to leave the room and checks the sign for a jungle room. Finding the closest thing to that, he makes straight for it.

[Raleigh]

*Looking at what is flying above Raleigh simply kicks off and floats up to investigate.* Quetz, is that you?

[Feng]

((Sorry for the wait. I had IRL stuff to deal with))
::Albedo::

Brave Albedo enters Lab 42, the designated jungle research station of the greenhouse facility. The air is humid from the artificial fog and the constant controlled rain that pours into the gargantuan circular chamber. The place is filled with tropical trees and orchids. Everything else is taken up by thick vines. High above a bunch of tropical birds roost in the trees, escaped pets of one of the scientist.

Bulba! Bulbasaur!

In the midst of some distant vines, Albedo can spot the shiny Bulbasaur peeking out at him.


::Raleigh::

The flying serpent responds with an ear shattering roar before flying off to the distant mountains where its kind roosts. A flock of curious birds flutter past Raleigh, chirping noisily as they try to keep up with the flock leader.

[Albedo]

"That's where you went!" Al yells quieter, as he runs down the Bulbasaur.

[Feng]

BULBA! o_O

The shiny Bulbasaur, clearly startled, dashes back into the vines.

[Albedo]

Al headlong charges into it, taking note of any things related to the project the scientists were working on.

[Feng]

As Albedo chases after his shiny quarry, he might trip upon a certain object that is underfoot.
