Welcome to Gaia! ::

Malodore searched the area around Steve as best it could, trying not to draw the plant's attention to itself. What could it use, what could it - ah! Anise! It was a plant the plague doctor knew well, for both the properties it possessed - it could be a stomach-soother, or it could be an emetic.

It was the latter property Malodore was after. It stripped one plant of its leaves, then wrapped the leaves in a bundle. Thinking quickly, it reached up its own sleeve and found the end of its own bandages, where they'd been wrapped around its arm, snapping off a small length of it to bind the leaves together. Hopefully, using the used gauze rather than fresh would induce Steve to actually... ingest it, however the plant managed that.

Next time a vine swooped by, it held out the packet and was gratified when the vine snatched it away, apparently carrying it back to the 'mother plant'. A few moments later, the vine convulsed.

Could a plant throw up? Malodore wasn't sure, but the sounds it was hearing didn't seem very nice.

After that close call with the vine-nearly-slapping-her-face, Maritess decided to duck behind some trees where she reached for a rock. Without realizing that it was absolutely covered in Ash Bark flecks (or maybe the Ash Bark just fell on it and decomposed after some time?) she threw it at Steve, hoping to draw its attention elsewhere.

Maritess breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the leaves she'd tossed at Steve seemed to quell him some. She grabbed for another handful, thinking them to be the same plant, not realizing they weren't, and these too she wadded up and hurled at Steve's gaping maw.

((ooc: Going to bed x.x got work later. Tess has picked back up on her search for Professor Cadmus))

Maritess decided she didn't want to press her luck with Steve. Who knew what had set him off in the first place? Tess was certain she didn't want to stick around to find out while she was still around him. When she turned to leave she realized she didn't even know how she got to where Steve was and it was a very obvious reminder that she had gotten lost inside the Greenhouse. Yes, Tess still needed help. Maybe even an adult. She wondered if her skelephone would allow her access to Groanspring... Ducking behind some of the plants, hopefully out of Steve's sight, she produced her phone and accessed its Groanspring application to ask the professor where he was.

Apparently, her 'jump in to help' seemed to work and she found Steve. That was good and all, but the she-wolf blanked for a moment on what to actually do now that she'd found the cranky plant. Oh. OH! She should...try and do something to nullify it, perhaps? Wasn't that what everyone else was currently doing? Think, LW. You've read that book...once or twice. Sort of. But, using an herb was what seemed like the best choice. And it was what most of the students were doing as well. The question was, which one did she use?

Looking around, she found a few things labeled. Then a few more things labeled. She really couldn't quite recall what each one did at the moment, mind racing to figure out if she was supposed to just throw anything at Steve, or get picky. Of course, said cranky plant sort of made it hard to be 'picky' about your choice. So, LW grabbed the first herb she could snag, tossing it towards Steve.

Clearly, that was not the right choice and the she-wolf cursed under her breath and dodged a vine to move out of range (or as 'out of range' as one could get) to find another herb to use.

Calder hadn't really been trying to find anyone, and had happened upon the plant and the ghoul in no time at all. There were already students gathered around, throwing plants and all manner of things at the creature.

What did Calder think?

Well, a giant plant looked nothing more than a giant entrée to him. He just wished it wasn't moving so much. "Hi guys." He said, opening his book and the random plants that were about. He wondered if Steve was going to be their reward in the end. He'd make a great salad.

Calder found Steve!

Pushing through the leaves of a particularly large fern, Johan almost stumbled over another vine. It writhed away from him, and Johan figured he'd found his ma- plant. Considering there wasn't much else at hand to use, Johan grabbed the first promising herb he saw, and attempted to use it to subdue the feisty flora.

Clearly attack plants weren't working so when Mandy flicked through her book again she looked for anything that could calm down Steve instead, there being a lot more choices for these unsurprisingly. Calendula Roses sounded pretty good, if Steve liked her a bit more than maybe he would stop trying to grab her as much.

...If plants felt like that. Still, worth a shot. Grabbing a handful of the distinctive petals she tried to crush them a bit in her hand before smearing it on a vine that passed her by.

By the brief period when she didn’t have dodge any tentacles she guessed her choice had been ok.
