“Wouldn’t know, if he’s good in bed or not,” Mark replied to Aldore’s inquiry about Felic.
“Hey..” Felic repeated to the questioning of his sexual abilities.
“He’s a good roommate,” he frowned at his professor’s question, “when he’s not jumping on me that is, which this is a first for him in human form. And Felic is his own independent self.” Mark nodded to Felic.
“Who is this ass that you’ve brought home with you,” Felic demanded. “Your reception is because I found the birthday present you were hiding from me. Can’t a familiar say thank you and celebrate that he’s still alive?”
“Oh witch & wizardry, is there anything left of the poor thing?” Mark set off hurriedly towards his room. “That was my controlled substance herbology project you’ve probably decimated. There was a reason it was in my room behind a locked door.”
“Yeah, well when I was trying out the summoning homework assigned today and this ‘poor thing’ plant shows up in my bedroom on my desk complete with its own personal grow light…” Felic replied hotly. “I didn’t touch a leaf on its hearty 36 cm. high green stem,” he grumbled. “Was afraid to. Looked like it would eat anything that came near it.”
“It’s a plant,” Mark objected, “and if it was so scary why were you so happy thinking that it was your birthday present, which I’m not saying it is or isn’t.”
“It’s got teeth, I saw them,” Felic argued. “And just think of all the money we could make..”
There was a cough from the only other wizardly person in the room. “I feel I should remind you that selling catnip is illegal without an organic growth certificate except if it’s for personal use. Not that I’m accusing either of you of anything.”
Both Mark and Felic turned to stare at Aldore with raised eyebrows.
Mark turned to Felic, “Were you able to put it back?”
Shaking his head, “Still learning summoning, aren’t I,” Felic said. “Can you imagine where it might have gotten itself to? I don’t want on my conscience that someone’s kitten chomped on a Capsicum frutescens or worse got chomped by one. Besides, on reflection, I’m not sure the damned thing didn’t piggyback itself on my summoning spell. Must be boring with only 4 walls and a grow light for company most of the day.”
“How could you tell it was a Cayenne?” Mark asked.
“Developing small bean like fruits that seem to be turning reddish, isn’t it?” Felic grinned, “and there was the telltale plastic plant label stuck in its pot soil.” He stopped, “So what that it, why you were having me contribute the contents that normally would grace my litter box? You dog, you.”
Aldore sounded intrigued, “using familiar waste as nutrient for your herbology project, brilliant. Interesting byproduct if it also causes sentience in a plant.” He rubbed his hands together gleefully, “you may have produced a new variety of life form. That’ll get you a commendation in the Academy records and maybe a condemnation if it’s dangerous and escapes into the outer environment.” With a clap of those same hands, “well let’s go view your project and see how much trouble or acclaim might be in your future.”
The three of them started down the hallway, Aldore following Mark, and Felic following them both. There was a curious whining to be heard coming from behind a closed door and a handwritten sign taped to that door. ‘Turn back all you who would enter here and, for magick’s sake, don’t try summoning anything.’
“Shit, it’s become vocal,” Felic said.
“Better let me go first,” Aldore told them his hand on the door knob, “and stand back. Don’t crowd me,” to Mark, as he was trying to get a prime viewing at his plant from over his professor’s shoulder. Felic had poofed to his familiar form, probably for the best view of what was inside and ability to move faster on 4 paws.
Sure enough there was the plant and it angled its stem to see the movement at the door. It seemed to be interested in something closer to the floor then the wizard and his student. The whining changed.
“Hun-gry. Make Food,” the leaves rustled out.
There was a growl from Felic that changed to a grumbled sigh as he padded toward the potting soil filled contraption that Mark had given him for the clean collection of his bodily wastes.
“Well that’s a new take on the benefits of going to pot,” Aldore said and broke into amazed laughter at the developments.
One hand covering his eyes at the pun, Mark heard the loud hiss Felic gave his professor. ‘Oh, this was not good. Not good at all. Felic liked his privacy doing certain things. He might just save a few drops and spray Aldore.’
Mentally shrugging, ‘oh well, more food for Cap Cye, at least for a while. Now there would be an interesting experiment. Did a familiar urine changed wizard’s urine have the same nutritive properties as those of a feline familiar’s urine? Would the plant notice the difference?’ hmmm.

Raising brows over all this focus on bodily waste though.

Date: 2016-03-05 06:49 pm (UTC)My garden is currently a swamp, it is missing only toads, carnivorous vines and a drawbridge. I can dream.
Have been digging allotment this morning. We are now ready for planting *happy* Going to try sorting out the Strawberry tangle next weekend.
There shall be veggies.

Date: 2016-03-05 07:07 pm (UTC)We have fire ants here that they've found you can at least get the colony to move if not die by a liberal application of urea. Someone got so aggravated with trying and failing to kill off a colony in his lawn that he pissed on the mound. The colony must have been small because they left or died.
The grass dies because of nitrogen burn, the result of too much of the N and the other salts in urine. The numbers listed for N-P-K (nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium) are values used in commercial fertilizer. Different plants have different feeding needs.

If I'm supposed to make it grow then it'll die or be sickly.
Plants do better if I have minimal contact.
