The information came from Stormy, not Red, and he was pretty insistent that we get Loki's arm fixed for reasons he wouldn't divulge.

But-- [a nod towards the woods] There's apparently a flower in the woods that is. . . fleshy? That we can harvest and then mold into a new arm.

Once that arm is created, we can reattach it to Loki's elbow using our healing powers. Which is pretty cool, if you ask me.

“For reasons he wouldn’t divulge.” Pfft. As if that guy couldn’t get any shadier.

I mean, all of that sounds weird as hell. I’ve had some bad experiences with plant-based prosthetics, let’s say.

But, it’s up to Loki in the end.

[he nods]

Yeah. It's sketchy as shit, so I won't make him do it if he doesn't want to.

[but it's an option!! and it's better than nothing]

I'm fine with it, once we've conducted some tests.

[He makes a face at 'fleshy flowers to harvest'.]

If that's what we're doing, we should do a test run on something that's not Loki. Maybe one of the little sheep if any of 'em are missing legs.

Mmm; I think that's a good idea. We'll just collect some extra while we're out there.

We don't have to take the sheep out with us to do it there?

Oh--

[honestly he had assumed they'd grab the flowers and bring them back before using them, but Odin brings up a good point]

. . . I have no idea. I really don't know what to expect.

[Stormy wasn't THAT helpful]

[Lupin plz, you have to think about these things.]

Fine, I'll carry the sheep. If things go south I can use my ability to juggle it while fighting.

[that's why he has people like Odin on his team!1]

All right.

. . . and please try to find one that naturally has three legs, because I think it might be animal cruelty to chop off the leg ourselves?

It can't be that hard to find a tripod sheep. I'll just look for one that wobbles.

If you can't find one, we'll just give one a fifth leg.

[that's. . . fine??]

At least give 'em six so it's even and they don't wobble.

That's a good idea.

If we can't find a three-legged sheep, we can always make one.

There's hundreds of sheep in our flock alone, I'd bet there's one with three legs.

Yes, that'll probably be faster.

Do we have any clues as to how to find this flower?

[he nods!]

It's supposedly pretty deep in the forest. We have to bring a. . . "normie" with us, for some reason.

Otherwise, we just keep walking until we see sunflowers.

How are we supposed to know who the normies are? Some of them may not know it themselves.

People without powers or abilities from their home worlds.

. . . Stormy was kind of a dick when I asked for clarification, but that seems about right.

Do we know any of those? The only one I'm aware of is Vivace, and having a Bluebell around sounds like a big liability.

[hhha]

Theeeeey probably need a bit of recovery time, anyway.

[let's see. . . so-called normies. . . people without power. . .]

. . . what about the old guy on Lily? I'd have to ask him to make sure, though.

There's also Spinel, from Clover. But she has super strength, so she might not count.

I'd say super strength counts.

I'm not opposed to bringing an adult as long as he recognizes and respects that we're in charge of the mission.

I'll have to make sure he doesn't have any abilities first, but all right.

[nods!!]

I'll ask him the next time I see him, if no one else has any suggestions.

As long as it's somebody who won't get in the way, I don't particularly care.
