Avatar

who’s the flower knower? I I count then hyacinth = no (full sun though overbred enough they need to lean on each other for support), hydrangea = no (part sun/shade, grows on a freestanding woody bush though there is a climbing variety so Maybe?), sweet peas I know nothing about.

I mean the polycule is not inherently closed. Aury or Awoken can acquire other people if they so desire.

Angel Override i suppose

ꙮ I think the lack of people reacting to clearly hearing songs in-scene in any way whatsoever /up to this point/ can be taken as evidence that this is not the case. I’d have to re-read the logs for clarity, I think Tsem got some of it when it was loud, and Izaak’s talent is different, but in general, the BGM is something -y’all- hear, Synthesis being able to hear it and /play it back/ is Weird
