I Lived, Grinch! [open post]

The first thing Magnus does -- with Alex's help -- after fully healing is board up the hole in the side of the greenhouse where the cheetah ran through. The second thing, once he learns the full scope of Dark (it's different at camp; he'd already taken out a ton of camp-appropriate food for when Galahad and Laertes couldn't make it out there, and so he and Alex have been fine on the eating front) is go to the greenhouse again to figure out what plants in there yield edible produce. (Also, he tries to scrub his blood off the table. It... partially works?)

Partly it's that he's still feeling weird after the whole affair. The season doesn't help, but he does feel closer to his own mortality than pretty much any point since he died for real the first time. Being around growing plants helps that. Mostly, though, it's because he doesn't want anyone to get, like, scurvy living on bushels of rice alone.

He doesn't want to overtax any of the plants, but some can be cajoled into fruiting. Right now, he's got his hand on a kumquat tree, and he's trying to convince it that it can speed up the growth process by a few weeks. Drosera is with him, 'helping:' she's found a dead leaf, and she's chasing it down the pathway between some plants. If anyone shows up -- either because they've heard of his near-death experience and want to check in on him, or just to hang out, or even because they're drawn by the way it looks like sunlight is coming from the greenhouse itself -- he'll be glad for the company.

Tally can't help but smile to see Magnus laugh. "Um... not that much? I'm sure they also believed in some fake superheroes in the sky... but I guess you're going to say they're real superheroes, and, like, your dad." Tally giggles.

"No. Is that your dad?"

"Well, a nature god is way bubblier than a war god. I sort of thought all the Rusty gods were totally bogus, but I guess it makes sense pre-Rusties worshipped some nicer ones, since they were less crazy than Rusties."

"Protect them from what? Knowing what's really going on in the world?" Tally raises a skeptical eyebrow. "Sounds bogus to me."

Tally can relate to this Samirah, as someone who has formerly been totally shady. "They should still get to know even if they can't see the brain-exploding bridge."

"But it doesn't work here, does it? I can totally see you, like, birthing kumquats."

"That's so dizzy-making. This place only gets weirder. Like, magic is weird, but it's ultra-weird that it doesn't work the same here, you know? I wish that I wasn't pretty-minded here, but I guess nanos are science. Although... I don't know, I do feel less and less pretty-minded over time. It's tough when I wake up, but I can shake it off a little more easily."

"Oh! Yeah! Crowley-wa totally helped me." Tally smiles and waves her arm around. "Take that, Dr. Cable! But yeah, no, the pretty-minded thing was done with surgery. Lesions in the brain."

"Well, that's good to know for the future, huh? But yeah, lesions are little cuts in the brain. They can be reversed, though. They reverse them for Specials and firefighters and stuff. Can't be pretty-minded in an emergency."

"Oh!" Tally's eyes widen in alarm, even as the thought makes her flash tattoo spin with hope. "Um... maybe not? I feel like a brain is way more delicate than a hand in terms of healing."

"Wow, you're practically a neurosurgeon. But yeah, I..." Tally trails off. "I guess I kind of don't want people doing anything up there? I'm not sure I really want people messing with my body any more." It's a weird thought, given that Tally longed for the operation her whole life, but now that she's had it, the thought of anything like it happening again feels totally bogus.
