[The path to many places in the [setting] area requires a trek through the Central Field. In these weather conditions, that's even more likely.

Cantarella has found herself here, through the cold and the haze, and now stands before the inexplicable tended greenery that hasn't collapsed under the equally inexplicable snow.]

Remarkably resilient, don't you think? [Whether Hansa's passing through or has come to ponder this same natural wonder, he's part of the conversation now.]

[He is passing through, miserable due to the cold despite the dark coat he's found, but her remark gets him to pause and take a look at the scenery.]

Oh. Yes. [That's...] Quite odd, actually.

[physalia]

It seems impossible...and yet they're quite real. At least, each one I've ever plucked has served its intended effect.

[She reaches out to cup a very intact sprig of mint.]

So is it everything else around us that is lying?

[robopriest]

You're eating the mint. Or drinking it.

[A little dubious because HE DRANK THE WELL WATER!!! IT WAS A BAD EXPERIENCE]

Lying? That's an interesting word. Do you think the perception we have is an illusion?

[physalia]

[THAT'S NOT THE SAME.]

Desperate measures for desperate times, Father.

[Cantarella chuckles darkly. But he's also not wrong...the existence of a plant field that never withers has made her reflect on her tendency to put risky things into her mouth, greatly.]

The trouble with being well-versed in neurotoxins is that one understands how very real a hallucination may feel. But...no, I think these alterations may be to more than our perception.
