The Bloomers.

Chapter 2. Fungal roots.

The bar’s atmosphere softened the edges of Rolane’s unease. Between the low hum of conversation and the warmth of the whiskey she cradled, the pressure of the day began to subside. Across the small table, Biara’s expressive eyes lingered on Rolane, her usual light-heartedness tempered with concern.

                “So, what are we drinking to?” Biara asked, raising her glass of red wine. Her smile was playful, but there was a tenderness in her tone.

Rolane tilted her head, a smirk tugging at her lips "Surviving another day of Emil’s lectures?”

Biara laughed softly, the sound curling into the air like smoke. “Cheers to that. But seriously, Ro, you’ve been carrying the weight of this project on your shoulders for years. It’s okay to let some of it go, even if it’s just for tonight.”

                Rolane’s grip on her glass tightened briefly before she forced herself to relax. “It’s not just the ending of the project, Biara. It’s everything. The anomalies, the way Emil brushed them off… It’s like we’re all sprinting towards a finish line without asking if it’s the right race to run.”

                Biara reached across the table, her fingers brushing against Rolane’s wrist. The touch was brief, but it lingered in the air between them. “And that’s why you’re here. To ask the questions no one else will.”

                Rolane’s eyes softened, meeting Biara’s gaze fully for the first time that evening. “You make it sound noble- I’m just… scared, honestly. Scared that we’ve gone too far that there’s no way to undo it.”

                BBiara’s hand remained near Rolane’s, her voice low and steady. “Fear isn’t a bad thing. It means you care, and if it helps, you’re not alone in this. Whatever happens, I’ve got your back,” she says, letting a moment stretch between them. “And probably so does Victor” followed by a chuckle, mentioning the janitor who usually spent some nights at the lab with the workers who stayed late.

                Rolane’s heart thudded, a subtle shift in rhythm she couldn’t ignore. She chuckled, followed by clearing her throat, breaking the moment of silence between their words. “Thanks, Biara. That means a lot.”

Biara leaned back, her teasing grin returning. “Don’t mention it. Just promise me you’ll take a break this weekend. No fungus, no Emil, no existential dread.”

                Rolane chuckled, the sound genuine. “I’ll try. No promises, though.”

                The following morning, the sunlight streaming through Rolane’s apartment window did little to shake the restless thoughts that had trailed her home. She sat on the edge of her bed, scrolling through the latest reports form the Arbor Bloom Initiative. Biara’s voice from the previous night echoed in her mind: “I’ve got your back.”

                Her door buzzed, pulling her from her thoughts. She opened it to find Biara standing there, coffee in one hand and a paper bag in the other. “Morning. Figured you could use reinforcements,” Biara said, breezing past her into the apartment.

                Rolane blinked slowly, caught off guard but not unwelcome. “You brought me coffee? What’s the catch?”

Biara set the bag down on the small kitchen table, pulling out two croissants, filled with fresh jam, filling Rolane’s apartment with the warm smell of fresh pastries.

“No catch. Just trying to save you from the horrors of skipping breakfast. Besides, we need to talk strategy.”

“Strategy?” Rolane asked, taking the coffee gratefully.”

“You’re not going to let this anomaly thing go.” Biara said, sitting across from her.

“And if you’re digging, I’m digging with you. But we need a plane that won’t get us both fired”

Rolane’s chest tightened, a mixture of gratitude and guilt. “Biara, you don’t have to get involved. This isn’t your fight.”

“Correction,” Biara said, her tone firm but warm. “You’re my friend. If you’re worried, I’m worried. End of discussion.”

A small smile played on Rolane’s lips. “You’re stubborn, you know that?”

Biara smirked. “Comes with the territory. Now, let’s figure out our next move.”

The rest of the day passed in a comfortable rhythm, with the two women alternating between strategizing and simply talking. They spent hours sprawled on Rolane’s couch; their laptops open but often forgotten as the conversation drifted to lighter topics. Biara teased Rolane about her relentless work ethic, while Rolane learned about Biara’s brief time as a musician before diving into science.

“Wait,” Rolane said, laughing “you played bass in a punk band? I need to see photographic evidence of this.”

Biara groaned, covering her face with a pillow. “Absolutely not. Those photos are classified.”

“Come on, Biara. You can’t drop a bombshell like that and expect me to let if go,” Rolane pressed, her smile wide and genuine.

                Biara peeked out form behind the pillow, her eyes twinkling with mischief. “Fine. But only if you tell me something embarrassing about yourself first.”

Rolane hesitated, her cheeks flushing slightly. “Okay, but you can’t laugh”

“No promises,” Biara said, grinning.

Taking a deep breath, Rolane admitted, “I tried to grow a mushroom farm in my dorm room during my undergrad. It… didn’t end well.”

Biara burst out laughing, the sound warm and infectious. “What happened?”

“Let’s just say the smell was so bad that campus housing threatened to evict me,” Rolane said, laughing along with her.

                By the time the sun dipped below the horizon, casting warm golden light across the room, the weight of the anomalies and Emil’s authority felt distant. Rolane couldn’t remember the last time she had spent a day like this, free of deadlines and fear, simply enjoying someone’s company.

                Biara stretched, her arm brushing against Rolane’s as they both reached for the last croissant at the same time. Their fingers touched, and for a moment, neither of them moved.

“You take it,” Biara said softly, her voice tinged with something unspoked.

“No, you bought them,” Rolane replied, her heart thudding in her chest.

Biara smiled, breaking the tension with a laugh. “How about we split it? Seems fair.”

                Rolane nodded, her cheeks warm as Biara broke the croissant in half and handed her a piece. They ate in silence, the moment quiet.

As the evening wore on, Biara eventually stood, her movements reluctant. “I should probably head home before my dog thinks I’ve gone missing.”

Rolane followed her to the door, hesitating as Biara turned to face her. “Thanks for today,” Rolane said, her voice softer than she intended. “I didn’t realize how much I needed it.”

                Biara’s smile was gentle, her gaze lingering. “Anytime, Ro. You’re not as alone as you think.”

And with that, she was gone, leaving Rolane standing in the doorway, the quiet of her apartment suddenly feeling much heavier, and still smelling like jam filled croissants.

"We're trapped!" The small Sandwing dragonet cried, his wings flapped a few times in fear. His eyes widened with terror. He snapped his head towards his sister, who was just as terrified as him.

She was trembling alongside him. "Don't worry [Name]! I- I will get us out of here somehow!" She said, trying to sound reassuring while the fear in her eyes betrayed her voice.

The two little dragonets suddenly heard a raspy laugh from behind them, they both turned around only to see a caged up Seawing. The Seawing looked slightly dehydrated but not enough for him to be completely insane.

"Sorry little ones...there ain't no way out of this laboratory." The Seawing grunted, he had metal chains wrapped around his neck, his wrists and his torso, practically forcing his wings to stay close. "Once you've entered this forsaken place, you're stuck." He laughed a bit.

However, he didn't sound too happy. The two dragonets looked even more terrified now.

February 9, 2025: Attended the OB/OG Meeting of Waseda University’s Ohno Laboratory, held at Hilton Tokyo. The event also served as a celebration of Professor Ohno’s 30th anniversary as a professor. It was a grand meeting with a large number of alumni in attendance. I enjoyed engaging conversations with people excelling in various fields and the nostalgic reunions.

In Professor Ohno's laboratory, research is conducted on practical applications from a financial perspective of businesses, focusing on identifying and solving issues in fields such as marketing, general management, and finance.

Additionally, great emphasis is placed on enhancing fundamental knowledge and communication skills essential for professionals and business leaders. Graduates of the laboratory have gone on to excel in a wide range of fields, including consulting, corporate management, and as certified public accountants.

Furthermore, Professor Ohno has held key positions in the university’s international and academic affairs departments, contributing to Waseda University's globalization and educational system reforms.

"Their solution is to build a decentralized bioeconomy rather than seeing the Amazon as a commodity provider for industries elsewhere. Investments would be made in sustainable, forest-grown crops such as cacao, cupuaçu and açaí, rather than cattle and soy, for which vast swaths of the forest have already been cleared. The profits would stay within local communities."

The Surucuá community in the state of Pará is the first to receive an Amazonian Creative Laboratory, a compact mobile biofactory designed to help kick-start the Amazon’s bioeconomy.

Instead of simply harvesting forest-grown crops, traditional communities in the Amazon Rainforest can use the biofactories to process, package and sell bean-to-bar chocolate and similar products at premium prices.

Having a livelihood coming directly from the forest encourages communities to stay there and protect it rather than engaging in harmful economic activities in the Amazon.

The project is in its early stages, but it demonstrates what the Amazon’s bioeconomy could look like: an economic engine that experts estimate could generate at least $8 billion per year.

In a tent in the Surucuá community in the Brazilian Amazonian state of Pará, Jhanne Franco teaches 15 local adults how to make chocolate from scratch using small-scale machines instead of grinding the cacao beans by hand. As a chocolatier from another Amazonian state, Rondônia, Franco isn’t just an expert in cocoa production, but proof that the bean-to-bar concept can work in the Amazon Rainforest.

“[Here] is where we develop students’ ideas,” she says, gesturing to the classroom set up in a clearing in the world’s greatest rainforest. “I’m not here to give them a prescription. I want to teach them why things happen in chocolate making, so they can create their own recipes,” Franco tells Mongabay.

The training program is part of a concept developed by the nonprofit Amazônia 4.0 Institute, designed to protect the Amazon Rainforest. It was conceived in 2017 when two Brazilian scientists, brothers Carlos and Ismael Nobre, started thinking of ways to prevent the Amazon from reaching its impending “tipping point,” when deforestation turns the rainforest into a dry savanna.

Their solution is to build a decentralized bioeconomy rather than seeing the Amazon as a commodity provider for industries elsewhere. Investments would be made in sustainable, forest-grown crops such as cacao, cupuaçu and açaí, rather than cattle and soy, for which vast swaths of the forest have already been cleared. The profits would stay within local communities.

A study by the World Resources Institute (WRI) and the New Climate Economy, published in June 2023, analyzed 13 primary products from the Amazon, including cacao and cupuaçu, and concluded that even this small sample of products could grow the bioeconomy’s GDP by at least $8 billion per year.

To add value to these forest-grown raw materials requires some industrialization, leading to the creation of the Amazonian Creative Laboratories (LCA). These are compact, mobile and sustainable biofactories that incorporate industrial automation and artificial intelligence into the chocolate production process, allowing traditional communities to not only harvest crops, but also process, package and sell the finished products at premium prices.

The logic is simple: without an attractive income, people may be forced to sell or use their land for cattle ranching, soy plantations, or mining. On the other hand, if they can make a living from the forest, they have an incentive to stay there and protect it, becoming the Amazon’s guardians.

“The idea is to translate this biological and cultural wealth into economic activity that’s not exploitative or harmful,” Ismael Nobre tells Mongabay."

So, I don't have Disney+ out of being a broke artist with currently no paying jobs and also being a tiny bit underage. any reputable **insert sea shanties and that one theme from those movies with Johnny Depp, if you know, you know, here** sites that won't **insert bad guy from above movies here**?

Don't try and send me money. Don't try to get me on Reddit; Tumblr is already enough. I have a chance at getting a paying job at some point soon, but they're competitive and there is a very good chance I might not get it (speaking from experience of only having one currently unpaid-- Kai, you're amazing, and I know you're just a broke high schooler, so I hope this thing we're doing takes off-- job after almost 20 auditions, and I was probably one of the lucky ones). I'm about ready to maybe open up a Ko-Fi or something for my YouTube channel, but I still can't do that because Reasons, so in the meantime, I either need to find a way to get money or to get *insert things above here*. And I'm not paying for the stuff I want to watch on Prime Video.

tl;dr: broke girl woke up and chose to dismantle capitalism because she's tired of seeing spoilers on her dash
