Islay didn’t wait to see what Professor Rainwater was going to say – instead, she kept plugging along. Sketching out ideas of how their plant could look and marking things – elements it could have. Sure, Stella’s idea of a singing or dancing Mushroom could have been fun – but how would its stalk work? Would it be able to re-attach itself and stay living or would it dry out and d-die?

That would be sad.

“we have to consider the tricks since it could make the plant die, and we don’t want that to happen.” They needed to be able to survive on their own without having to continually be replanted” ... replanting – replanting she thought the word again and again as she tapped her pen. “I have an idea, low-light photosynthesis so that it can create more oxygen in its ‘natural’ damp atmosphere” see she had ideas.

BRAIN STORM

• tricks
• low-light photosynthesis
• low oxygen growing areas WITH the ability to replenish oxygen levels – creating breathable oxygen in dark areas (good for the eventual apocalypse)
• Amanita Virosa | destroying angel (poisonous)
• Euryale Ferox (healing)
• Poisonous & healing

Aaaand then she heard Professor Rainwater and just gave him a small nod. See, they got this...they what in merlins soggy pants were they doing? WHY? Turning to Stella just just stared.

STARED at her. A blank emotionless expression on her face “why?” hopefully she understood her question.
