I started refining the new plant today, I have decided to call it Luck Blossom. Progress is slow and inefficient. If I keep going at the rate I’m going it will take years to refine it. Counter to that, this is possibly the best opportunity I have had since evolving to really improve my ability to manipulate plants. So naturally, I am not trying to refine it as fast as possible, but rather to improve my ability to refine it.

I can’t improve my actual method for refining plants much, at least not without a stroke of insight or months of struggle, and even then the change would be too minute to notice on anything but the largest scales. I might be patient, but I’m not that patient. So instead I’m going to work on other things I hadn't thought of trying before.

Currently what I’m attempting is stretching my consciousness as far as possible, so I can be working on as many parts at the same time as I can, though currently, I can only do three. This comes with a couple drawbacks, the most immediately obvious is that my skills suffer when looking at it on an individual level, to the point where I have to go over every part multiple times.

The second one I noticed only after the gnawing pit that was my stomach woke me up from my trance after the sun had set, while straining my mind that much I am dead to the world, nothing short of physical pain will wake me.

The third one is something that will go away as I get better at this method, the mental strain. I don’t notice it while in my trance, but once it breaks it comes crashing down on me all at once. It doesn’t quite hurt, but it is debilitating. There is no way I am going to be able to go from refining a plant with this method to fighting with any kind of haste in the near future, but that's what I have everyone else for. Anything that could get through Mest, Thes, and the Ents would kill me regardless of my ability to fight at that moment, so I’m not too worried.

I am just going to have to make sure I get everything I want done in the mornings from now on, I don’t think anyone I going to wake me unless they were desperate. I mean it’s not the first time I’ve gone a while being dead to the world, there was that time with the book Tiddol gave me, the one authored by an Origin. Speaking of, I wonder how far Willow is in the book our progenitor gave her.

Now that I think about it I still have that little piece of their soul still, I kind of forgot about it because I’ve gotten so used to it being there. I have thought about using it a couple times, but I have always seen a way to fix the problem at hand with a bit of effort. I’m not sure I’ll ever find a use for those nine questions.

Anyway, I need to eat and go to sleep. So Good Night Diary.
