When you enter your team's clearing, you feel a ravenous hunger, an endless emptiness in your stomach. The growls are loud, but they aren't as bad as the pain. It doesn't abate, but you have enough energy to move around, if only to find some food.

In the center of the clearing, there is a small patch of overturned earth, dense and fibrous.

A seed appears in your clearing. It feels cool to the touch with a blue tip at the top. Perhaps, it will grow into something even cooler?

Instructions

[dramatispersonae]

In order to grow your seed, you must complete three tasks. With each task, it will gain strength to grow. By the second task, it will be able to help someone with a specific affliction. By the third task, it will be able to help them overcome it.

If your team wishes, you may exchange your seed for another after completing a task, choosing between the two seeds left. However, you will only be able to finish two tasks for your new seed. Please, ask in this post and ping me if you would like to switch. ♥

To complete tasks with people not on your team, head over here.

Tasks

[dramatispersonae]

Ask someone what they dislike.

Find someone who hates someone else. Ask them who.

Confess your honest feelings for someone that you dislike (or are uncomfortable with) and is not on your team.

Links

Please, link your team completing their tasks here.

I am not going outside like this.

I have no objection. Would asking if you dislike this be too easy?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

I have lived enough of my life restraining an internal force to resent it utterly when someone chooses to fan it's flames without my consent.

Quite a long time to hate becoming a monster.

Your Seed

[dramatispersonae]

Your seed grows as the tasks are completed. It sprouts until it is as tall as a sunflower. As the white petals fall away from the flower, the top leans down to reveal a small purple fruit. When you harvest your efforts, a voice calls out, "There isn't enough to share. Will you keep it for yourselves, or give it to another team?"

Are the crises of conscience really necessary?

Re: Discussion

[aprettygirl]

It's a bit of a false one, isn't it? Another team wouldn't get much more good from it as it is now; if we were being practical in that direction, the thing to do would be to grow it to a useful size and then share it about.

We'll keep it for now.

Your team may receive a gift of their own later on which I will note in this comment, but you can go to endgame. The hunger remains, unfazed, however.

Sapphire has given away their fruit. Once you eat of the fruit, you can feel the hunger pass away instantly. The feeling of being full, though not too full, and content takes its place.
