Bob the Tree Returns to His Old Self

A short lull before the storm

sasha lilias
What type of tune do you think?

Marvolo
Let me think.

Keida skipped back to Bob.

sasha lilias
Lunar, would you care to explain your gifts?

Lunar priestess
Sister, must I?

sasha lilias
Please, we must try.

Lunar priestess
Very well.

Lunar priestess pulled off the glove from her left hand, it glowed a slight green and she bent down to look at a small, dying flower beside Bob. She touched it with her gloveless hand and slowly the wilted plant started regaining its colour, the withered leaves and petals started looking healthy again. She took her hand away: the plant healed.

Anatoli
It seems Bob is doing alright. What do you think he has problem with? And who said he needs it? Leave him to his nature; it’s better!

Mr Mystery
A good idea would be to let Bob be. Let nature play its course. And try not to be God, and tempt to for long life.

Kafuuka
Well spoken Mister, yet methinks a little fertilizer won’t hurt.

Mr Mystery
Why let a poor tree suffer more, only knowing that there are those that seek to destroy its very existence.

Curiose
I think that Bob needs a lady friend so we can have many Bobs.

Anatoli
Trees don’t grow that way Curiose.

Curiose
I know, but through germination and such, we will have many little Bobs. When he blooms, he will have pollen, and if there is a lady friend, she will have blossoms that will get germinated.

Anatoli
I don’t know what Z will feel!

Mr Mystery
Would any of you like to be stabbed, and then re-heal again, then shortly again stabbed? The agony, the pain, Bob must feel. Do you guys, even have empathy for it?

The Phoenix
He doesn’t need healing, he needs care: a bucket full of water beside him everyday, watering him every morning, and a gentle touch every moment.

Marvolo
Mystery, let those who hurt him stop, instead of stopping Bob’s life.

Mr Mystery
The only way to heal Bob, forever, is to let it carry on. Let it be one with the MD soils once more. Let it be a part of the ground which we stand on. And let its nutrients feed life into other plants. There will always be those who will hurt Bob, regardless of what we do.

sasha lilias
Mr Mystery we wish for positive thoughts not negative. Please watch if you are going to be negative.

Sephirah Caelum
I brought some water from the East lands.

Keida
What of those who love Bob, Mr Mystery?

Mr Mystery
Those who love Bob should know what is best for bob. And what is best is to really put yourself in Bob’s place.

Mojomuppet
What happens to the one that wishes Bob ill?  They will then be after something else. It’s a very vicious circle.

Mr Mystery
How would you like to be hurt every now and then–stabbed, poisoned–and when death is almost here, you are healed again, only to let the cycle continue once more?  How long do you keep Bob “alive?” How long have you prolonged his life, when it’s down? And now Bob is to be healed again to suffer another cruel cycle.

Anatoli
Well, Mystery, what you say is giving up because of the obstacles we have seen on the road. Bob must not give up!

Zleiphneir ran back puffing and panting. He looked up and smiled widely.

Zleiphneir
People came! They still care!

sasha lilias
Of course they do.

Mr Mystery sighed.

Marvolo
Mr Mystery, we need Positive thoughts. If you are not ok with our doings, then leave please.

Mr Mystery
So you would rather be covered with lies?

Marvolo
No, we are covered with hope and love.

Mr Mystery
Why heal when you will only hurt him some more? Prolonging a life is not always the answer.

Marvolo
Neither is ending it, M.

Zleiphneir
Everyone, come up with an idea, something, anything. We can all put our efforts into each idea. Maybe one will work? Sasha already has one.

Keida
Llet’s get to work!!
