Who: People
Where: Near the lake!
When: Day 125, afternoon
What: BAMBOO INVESTIGATIONS. Can we use it? Can we eat it? Can we... poke each other with it?

[One (1) Cepheus and one (1) Delphinus are by the lake, trying to avoid the leeches.]

They're a little small... I'm not sure what we can do with them.

I don't know. We're going to try it with some of the smaller shoots.

Well, what else would you do with plants? Unless it's some kind of medicine, maybe.

It's a little stronger than other plants, so at first I thought maybe we could use it to make something, but... it's still not strong enough.

Anyway, not all of the things that grow here are edible. For example, there are mushrooms that will make you very sick.

It would be great if we could find something that was as strong as the wood. Maybe it could be used for the fire, at least?

I don't want to burn it until we're sure there is no other use for it.

Well, it's not like there's only one of it, and it could be a use if there are no others.

Wait, don't you need to test if you get sick from it too?

...The only way we can really do that is by trying a little.

I'll do it. It wasn't that long ago you were sick.

No, you won't. If we are the ones who decided to try something, then we are the ones who will try it.

At least start with trying it on a lizard, or that winged cat maybe.

...The winged cat belongs to a Judge...

...I thought it was Orion's pet.

I don't know. But some Judges appear as animals... Trickster has appeared as a terapede and Veiled as a winged cat.

No- No way... that was actually a Judge? But it let me pet it.

Well if she allowed it, it should be alright.

It's not as if you attacked it...

Why would I attack a cat in the first place? Wait, you don't need to answer that...

It's just a bit difficult imagining the Judges liking pettings.

... ...She's difficult to understand. I couldn't say.

Anyway, even if a Judge would be bad to test it on, let's try a lizard or something first?

We can try, but sometimes animals can eat things that we cannot.

...Anyway, it's alright this time. I was talking to Watanuki, he said that he cooks these all of the time. They are perfectly safe.

I guess they weren't that much of a secret finding, then!

It must be nice to have family in a place like this.

They have never really been a secret... I just never tried using them before.

Hmmm, but if it's not common knowledge how they can be used, that could still be a secret, right?

I would share it with others. It's difficult to find food here sometimes, if there is another source, they should know about it.

It would be good if people agreed to keep it under control and leave enough to make new ones grow up in the place of the ones taken.
