[There is a mildly anxious child on the feed, sitting on the edge of the community building roof as she munches down on some potato chips; this child's diet is 1000% on point. But more importantly, she flashes the video feed several stories below toward some of the trees. The little accent is full of confusion:]

They are dying. What are they sick with?

Shouldn't someone do something to save them? ¿Dónde está el jardinero?

[Seriously, nobody seems concerned about the leaves all falling off. Or them turning odd colors.]

omg

[ He actually guffaws because REALLY, Jones? ]

Pot meet kettle, asshole.

[hardedged]

That's the best you got?

[ 'cause it ain't much, strange. ]

[potentialed]

You're right, I should've gone with my first instinct and called you a "dick".

[ When did this become a competition? ]

[hardedged]

[ since right now. ]

Classy.

[shoplifter]

It's rude to call people dicks.

[shoplifter]

Eating is important for staying alive.

[CHEW. CHEW. CHEW.]

[shoplifter]

... You can go where nobody can follow you?

Somewhere safe?

[potentialed]

Because you're always so classy yourself, right?

[potentialed]

Well, when you stop chewing while talking, I'll stop calling people dicks.

[potentialed]

Chips do not help you stay alive and you can survive long enough to have a chew-free conversation with someone.

... Horses. I like horses.

They're very... pretty. And I like how they look when they run.

[She's learning how to talk like a child. It's a work in progress, Frank.]

[shoplifter]

Because of 'Autumn'.

[She's slowly absorbing all this intel, thanks y'all.]

They just... know when to lose the leaves?

[hardedged]

Language, dipshit.

[ she's just a kid. gosh. ]

Re: [video]

[scoutsniper]

Yeah, horses are something else.

[What little girl didn't have a horsey phase, right? ]

Ever seen a dog? Some of them look almost as good when they run. [Not a lot of horses in Hell's Kitchen, but he's seen plenty of dogs at full gallop. ]

[shoplifter]

They're made from potatoes.

[This entirely validates her eating them.]

[shoplifter]

Yes, dipshit.

[-- she parrots.

NOD, NOD.

YOU'RE BOTH DOING AWFUL]

[video]

[shoplifter]

[She nods.]

I've seen people walk them.

They seem very nice; always happy.

[She doesn't want to interrupt them, they seem like they have a good time out on the trails and whatnot.]

[potentialed]

[ :||||| ]

She's copying what you say, too, you know. So, take your own advice.

[shoplifter]

... It doesn't make very much sense.

It's supposed to be their homes.

[I mean, this is a captain planet thread, but it's true, so.]

[dothelokimotion]

They are not very smart. Or used to long-term planning.

[ Neither is Loki but details. ]

[hardedged]

[ well, to quote him— ]

Pot meet kettle, asshole.

[shoplifter]

[DETAILS!!!]

How do you fix it? The global warming.

[hardedged]

Uh, shit. [ still not helping, jones. ] Look, don't say that, okay?

[potentialed]

That's just starch and salt. While it is important to have, you need vitamins, too.

[dothelokimotion]

They lack the technology for it. Asgard probably has a way of siphoning extra heat dispersion and using it for energy but I cannot recall how.
