[waner, who makes a habit of walking in the garden, notices the change in the apple tree fairly early on in the morning.
so, of course, she walks into the garden to take a closer look. she approaches the tree, her eyes on the fruit, and then pauses - her eyes going wide as that intuitive understanding of what these fruits are and what picking one would mean floods her.
she's left standing there for a few long moments before she hears footsteps, and she whirls toward them, her expression strained.]
...I can understand it as well. They are designed to tempt us. But surely there must be something we can do to make sure nobody gives into that temptation...?

What is this?
no subject
Adolphe is looking NORMAL right now and walks into the garden too. There sure is something new today--
Oh.
He doesn't like it. He hates this, actually. However, he looks thoughtful--then reaches over to pick an apple and bites into it.
Nothing happens. It's just an apple. ]
no subject
they both know that adolphe did not kill anyone last weekend, so waner just watches this happen for a second.]
...does it taste normal?
no subject
It tastes like any other apple. I don't feel anything different either.
[ He'd normally ask another person to try it, but like. No! What if something happens to her?! (he thinks, not thinking about himself. anyway,) ]
no subject
[kills... someone...]
no subject
[ He has a sword by his side inside of its sheathe and looks perfectly fine. Not murderous. Just calm and curious about these murder apples. ]
Do you feel anything different? Since you're close to the fruits too.
no subject
no subject
[ Yeah. Oh.
Because she's right. ]
Since we know what these apples are capable of, it can be pretty tempting to want one.
[ ... ]
Maybe, in another situation, I would have been tempted. So I can understand why people would be drawn to them to kill someone.
no subject
...I can understand it as well. They are designed to tempt us. But surely there must be something we can do to make sure nobody gives into that temptation...?
no subject
That's impossible unless we get rid of this tree.
[ He looks at this tree and is like... naw... that ain't happening. People will be people. ]
no subject
no subject
me and my homies hate this tree ]
Should we pick all the apples that grow on this tree and dispose of them somehow?
[ So that there aren't any apples to pick. ]
no subject
[there will just be more later but they don't know that yet.]
no subject
Adolphe reaches up and picks another apple. Then another. One more.
... ]
It feels like I'm wasting food.
[ feels bad, man ]
no subject
...do you think they are safe to cook with? Maybe we can make something with them, and then it wouldn't be wasteful.
no subject
[ He thinks about this real hard. ]
Apple... shakes? Is that what they're called.
no subject
Apple shakes...?
no subject
[ He learned a lot from the am*zon selections on that Wednesday... ]
It shouldn't be so hard.
no subject
[she'll go up on her tiptoes to pick more apples]
no subject
If it's too high of a reach, I can get them instead.
no subject
[but she
is short.]
no subject
[ Look, he's not going to call her short or make fun of her for her height... ]
It looks like we're almost done.
no subject
[SMOOTHIES, YOU FOOLS.]
no subject
[ i guess adolphe will die still thinking that they're shakes ]
