ENTRY THREE
It has been around two days since my previous entry. I have been frantically looking over tens of hundreds of the books in my section of the archive for a reason as to why the amount of love being harvested is dropping. but I have had no luck in finding a reason throughout my questioning of the harvesters by somewhat abusing my authority to do so. None of them have changed how they are harvesting nor have they changed to different targets. So there shouldn't be a change at all in the quantity of love. Unless some of it is being stolen or perhaps someling's cover is blown.
Well, it doesn't matter what the reason is. the amount of love is declining and I need to think of a solution. As I am writing this I am also pouring over the records of emotional harvesting to see if ....... That may work. According to this record one harvester tried to take some emotions from a plant out of boredom to see if it would work and it surprisingly did , but produced only a small amount of emotion so no further experimentation was done. I wonder if the amount varies from plant to plant. This requires further research but how would I get ahold of plants? Maybe I could ask Aphid.
Anyway I have much to do so this shall be the end of this entry
ENTRY FOUR
It was only 7-8 hours ago that I finished the previous entry and I have acquired 3 different flowers from the botany department, more specifically from my sister Aphid who is one of the heads of the botanists, she gave me the flowers after I told her what I was planning to do with them, the three flowers are a Carnation, a Purple hyacinth and an Orange Lilie I shall be performing my experiments in that order.
EXPERIMENT 1: Carnation.
The diameter of the bloom is 7cm. Its coloration is a pinkish red and the center is yellow. The stem is 84cm long and is bright green. The care process of the carnation is first Carnations should have four to six hours of sunlight a day. secondly, it is to be Watered two to three times a week, and third To promote reblooming you are to remove any dying blooms or leaves.
I shall proceed with the extraction of emotions from the flower.
Result, It tastes similar to love however it also has the taste of arrogance. I hypothesize that if a large enough field is made it could be an acceptable substitute for the lost love, to be further investigated.
EXPERIMENT 2: Purple hyacinth.
The main plant is 243.84 cm wide and The height of the plant is a titanic 518.16cm, the individual bulbs are 6 inches deep, and 5 inches apart. The stem is a bright green
which fades into purple petals with a white bulb near the end. The purple hyacinth
is a bit more complicated in its care the first part should be obvious Don't overwater the plant ,secondly Fertilize the bulbs with bulb food in the spring when the leaves emerge and then again in the early fall. third Add compost to the soil after it blooms. Fourth allow the leaves to stay on the plant for six weeks after they bloom. finally a note for its environment the cold isn't a problem for this plant.
I shall proceed with the extraction of emotions from the flower.
#The page seems to have gotten wet as the ink seems smudged#
Result while the emotions given off of the flower are edible and in great amounts.
..... it does have some unexpected effects mainly the influence of emotions. Upon consuming the emotions of the flower I was suddenly overwhelmed by great amounts of sorrow.
I hypothesize that if only a hoofull of petals is drained instead of an entire bulb. The effect will be diminished enough so that although the consumer will feel large amounts of sorrow they will not be curled up on the floor for half an hour crying. the reason I am considering this is that the emotions while not as filling as love. It does give large amounts of nutrition, I may want to look into why I am affected by negative emotions and not positive ones. Well, that is a question for later. Now on to the final experiment which I will document on the next page.
EXPERIMENT 3:Orange Liliy.
The diameter of the bloom is 7cm, its coloration is a bright orange the stem is 120 cm long, and is a bright green. the care process for this flower is.
it needs regular watering to thrive. They do best in long-lasting, direct light and should be less than 1 foot from a source of light. Orange Lily likes soil that is well-draining. Your plant shouldn't need added fertilizers if you move it each time it doubles in size.
I shall proceed with the extraction of emotions from the flower.
#The rest of the page seems to be covered in a black substance that has the consistency of dried mucus mixed with vomit #
#The third experiment results are written on the next page#
You may be wondering what the substance covering the rest of the previous page is, Well it is the result of my consuming emotions from the Orange Lilie. it had some unexpected side effects and helped me realize something. If love keeps us alive and healthy then Hate is like a poison. There were always reports of Hatred not agreeing with our biology but not to this extent.
If you are wondering what I mean by that it's best I tell what happened when I consumed the hate. When I consumed the hate I felt powerful more powerful than I have ever felt I'm my life but that only lasted for a few seconds. After that, I felt pain, so much pain. The substance on the previous page was me, parts of my carapace quite literally melted off of me. I was able to use the
Carnation and the emotions stored inside heal most of my wounds but not all of them.
The holes in my carapace the ones all changelings have are wider now it's not that noticeable but if you were to look at them for a few seconds you would be able to tell.
CONCLUSION
Talk to Aphid and have all Orange Lilie flowers separated from all other flowers. They may be dangerous but the power boost I felt at first should be looked into.
Anyway, this is the end of this entry, I need to lie Down I am still aching from the previous ordeal although my wounds are healed I am still mentally drained, goodnight.
