#why I'm reluctant to add solar panels to the gang's attempts to get a power surplus again

[victorluvsalice]

-->Victor and Shadow proceeded out into the darkness of the very early morning (seriously, it gets DARK in their neighborhood at night a lot -- what is this, Forgotten Hollow?) so Shadow could do her business away from the house for a change. Victor, of course, picked up the resultant mess like a good dog owner (who knows he can use that to fertilize all his plants) before taking her home and giving her a little playtime by the front door. :) Gotta show the doggo some love!

-->While he was out and about, Alice gobbled down her steak tartare, mopped up a slime creature in the blue upstairs bathroom, and then calmed down a grumpy Kelly before getting some cute kitty hugs, awww. Smiler, for their part, upgraded one turbine to have a lightning rod (so if they get another thunderstorm, it might get supercharged and get them more power reserves!), fixed another busted one, then cleaned out the chicken coop, finding a vitality fertilizer along the way. Usual morning routine, really!

-->Oh, and Elmer took care of all the plants in the garden -- weeding, watering, bug-spraying, everything -- and started wandering around the lot looking for more plants to tend. For some reason, it chose to ignore all the flowers by the front walk in favor of scanning the mailbox. *shakehead* Bot, come on, work with us here. I know it’s mostly made of wood but it’s not a tree! If you’re gonna tend anything, tend the daisies, I’m sure they could use some TLC.
