Swampy - Hnnnn

[ 5th Sprout ]

[ Voice Post ]

Done.

And.

Done.


Although I feel I must... ask you, the citizens... of this City...

Why do you... litter?

Why do you... burn my domain? What do you... gain from watching that... under my guardianship... become black cinder? How could reducing my... forests to ash... bring you so much gratification? The garden of my... body to a single... crater? What are... you trying to prove? Are you... lacking in something? Is it... easier to shatter... the living splinters so delicately, firmly interlocked... than the fragile, fleeting cages of flesh? Are you... testing the vast organism that... is this City? Are you testing... the strength and perseverance... of the Green?

I am appalled, City.

Answer me.

I seek to... understand this mindset... for I cannot fathom.

Why do you... thrive off destruction?

Comments

...What the hell are you?
[ Voice Post ]

I am the trees... the grass, the algae... the seeds, the plants... the Green.
...Well. That's...that's just...weird. Among other things that I really shouldn't get into discussing with a talking mass of vegetation.

And not everyone litters and pollutes. You're making a generalization.
[ Voice Post ]

I am used to such... reactions. They're the... usual first impressions.

I believe what I have felt... I believe what I have seen. If it does not... apply to you, then you... are not whom which... I am questioning.

There are those... that must burn my forests... down in a show... of their strength. Their power is admired... but why against that... which their screams cannot be heard... by human ears?
People can be stupid and careless. It's just the bad side of human nature at work.

Can't you do anything to stop those who try to destroy your...ah, forests? Surely you must have some sort of control over plant life or something to use against them.
Oi, oi, I dunno about the ignorant masses, but we RECYCLE! It's cheaper than burning trash.
[ Voice Post ]

I appreciate... the efforts against the war... of unnecessary consumption... against my realm of responsibility.
It's a difficult question to answer, you know. All dreams stem from death, all destruction from the things people build because of dreams.
[ Voice Post ]

My highest respects for you.

I see no necessity for... their actions. They burn and demolish... in a show of power.

We should be working against that... which keeps us here.
If it was so easy to explain, it would have been impossible for me to leave.

Everything has two sides; creation has to have destruction, destruction has to give way to creation. Perhaps it's not the burning and demolishing you should be lamenting, but the lack of rebuilding.
[ Voice Post ]

Hm...

This land is small... A mere island. It does not breathe with the gaping.. vastness, the biosphere of Earth. Are they the awakening volcano? ... The lightning in the drought? Do they... fill the niche of fiery rebirth?

Do they... replensh the soils... with their lust for destruction? Do they nourish us... with the nitrogen released from... their minor trifles?

Things to consider.

Thank you, Lord Destruction.
Because it validates my existence. My death.
[ Voice Post ]

Are you... one of the deceased?
No.

But if I were to die in pursuit of destruction, in pursuit of the defeat of One Great Enemy...

It would validate it.
[ Voice Post ]

Enlighten me... What is this... "One Great Enemy?"
...Leeloo wishes she knew...
[ Voice Post ]

It is a question... and its many others... that plagues me.
...

Can you forgive them? Humans?
[ Voice Post ]

I am benevolent... or so I see myself as such... but I am not complete. I have not... been for months.

I've been missing her.
'Cause they's human. Ain't nothin' more or less'n what they be.
[ Voice Post ]

So I thought I have understood... but I realized then that... I know little.
Ain't a one of us humans what can stand under the sky and grow with nothin' more than sun and air and water. That means we're going to be killin' something.
[ Voice Post ]

For another to live... one must die. I understand this.

Needless excess... I thought I did... but I truly do not.
A failing on my part, a lack of control that will not occur again.
[ Voice Post ]

Understand that I... appreciate this.
