Who: Slick and YOU
Where: Annnnywhere outside of dorms
When: Day 78, noonish
What: Patrol!

*When there are NEW RULES someone has to be out to make sure you kids aren't... wantonly punching walls or going over to each other's dorms for midday sleep overs or anything. Also he wanted to stretch his legs.

Basically. Slick can be found wandering around pretty much anywhere you might be doing your thing*

... why is it important?

When it's not a part that the plant needs anymore, you can cut it off. That way the plant can take more care of the parts it does need. The part that it lost returns to the soil eventually, though, and becomes nutrition to feed whatever is living there. It might even go back into the same plant eventually if it's lucky.

So it ... gets rid of the part it can't feed? Y-you don't have to do that with people, right?

No, no! All parts of people are important! Don't cut anything off!

I won't! I wasn't planning to!

Good.

[kneels down to peer at the plants]

I was just wondering why Allen wasn't at breakfast. And if we told him to go eat at another team's or something.

. . .

No. We don't know why Allen wasn't at breakfast.

Does he do that a lot? Not show up for meals for no reason?

No, he does everything he can to not miss meals. I don't know where Allen is right now.

... ...

That's not a good thing, is it.

No, it's not. There's . . . there's a really bad place he could be, but I don't think he's there. We'll go looking later, in case anyone else knows.

A bad place ... ?

It's . . . a piece of this place. A stone. It calls to people sometimes, and then they become a part of it all.

. . . !

A-anyway, well, it's important to know, but you should ask Spock about it, OK?

[was about to complain about people-eating rocks, but ... p-pauses at that.]

I -- er -- Spock, then. ... and I think Allen would eat the rock before it could eat him.

[laughs] You think so? I hadn't though of that!

He ate dinner really quickly! And he's got that look. The look of a hardened food-eating machine.

Well, you're right about that much. Allen needs more food than most people. He tries to hide it, but . . .

... needs? He's not just doing it to be a glutton?

Oh, he's definitely a glutton, but I'm pretty sure he really is hungrier too.

... ...

He should eat my food, then.

Has he not been? Well, besides now.

N-no, I mean ... my portion. I've been here a whole day and I haven't felt the least bit hungry.

. . . huh? You haven't eaten anything?
