Gimme your seeds

Do you know what today is?

Today is the horrible day of the year, where idiots waste hundreds and thousands of pounds of seeds. The tragedy!

This is a public service announcement, save your seeds. If you carve pumpkins or turnips and light them up, save the seeds for the birds. They are edible and delicious and severely underrated.

I will set up a deposit station in all the cities so there will be no excuses! Unless you want to eat them yourself which is understandable and I will give you recipes, thank you.

Why would anyone waste that many seeds on this day in particular?

[ SO CONFUSED. Is it not Halloween? She's heard about candy, and dressing up as ghouls and goblins and the like, but the seeds thing is a new one. ]

They carve up and empty out pumpkins, but only use the shell for jack'o'lanters or the filling for pie.

Ah, I see... So that is a tradition of this time of year as well.

[ Adela seems thoughtful briefly, then turns back to the camera with an almost horrified expression. ]

The way you put it however, pumpkin seeds are edible are they not? Are you telling me that people wilfully throw away perfectly good food?

Aye.

They think they're poisonous like citrus or apple seeds.

That is foolish if there are enough who know better to say they are not...

I cannot say we plan on carving any pumpkins here, but if that changes I will let you know and set the seeds aside, all right?

[ Though she might try them first. Edible, sure, but are they tasty? She kind of wants to find out. ]

[Shrugs.] Travelers to different islands or worlds don't have the time to find out all the edible parts of produce. Pumpkin juice, pumpkin spice, and pumpkin flavoring is usually popular, but people forget the seeds themselves.

Well, it is not the case here. The knowledge that pumpkin seeds are perfectly fine to eat should be readily available here, right?

It just seems like a waste...

It is a waste. Thus the seed depositories and public service announcement. That way there's no excuse.

Well, I will inform who I can of them. Would that help at all, Marco?

Sounds good, cutie.

Please do not flatter me...

Now who's flattering?

You know what the worst part of being a phoenix is? [He's lying, he enjoys it most.] No one ever believes you when you're telling the truth. [This is why he lies so much, because he can and no one can tell the difference anyway. Also why no one believes him. Thus the endless cycle that is being a phoenix.]

You are.

[ She looks like she's flopped over on the desk now. Marco plz... ]

Seeds? I'll keep that in mind if I carve up a vegetable. Though aren't pumpkin seeds supposed to be eaten? [She scrunches up her face trying to remember whether pumpkin seeds are indeed good for you.]

Yes. Yes they are.

But humans are idiots and often think they're like apple seeds or citrus seeds.

It's a real tragedy.

[Well, that's quite an announcement, or so the 6 feet tall cursed!raven birdman with a smooth English accent thinks.]

I'll keep that in mind when I make pumpkin pies in my shop.

Planning to sell the seeds on the side?

Hm, there is some pastries that use pumpkin seeds, but for the most part...I guess I shall put them aside upon your suggestion.

Also, birds needs water too. Perhaps we shall need a fountain for them to drink.

You're not going to do something creepy like poison it, are you?

[Because he doesn't want to like you, but he already does oops.]

...no? I can't think of a good reason why?

[Hm, well the friendship is getting cordial.]

Okay, then that's really excellent of you. On behalf of the other birds, thanks.

Running water to make sure it self filters and doesn't get junk stuck in it is also best. I'm sure people will like it too, they usually do, eh?

Oh, I wouldn't dreamed of poisoning my own kind.

[Though when it comes to humans, he was rather neutral in tht stance.]

I'm sure they do.

Your own kind?

[OH NO. He is sharing bird-dom now too? OH NO.]

The birds. Though, I can't say much on my own kin, demons.

[Though he glanced at Marco with interests.]

You're an interesting being yourself. I never seen a phoenix before. Coming from the same world as Grell [He can't figure out the relationship between her and him but he had last seen him running to her last time], there's demons and reapers on two different side of the coin.

Interesting. I rather thought they were opposed to one another.

Being it on opposite ends of goals, as it were.

How many stations y' gonna be settin' up? Cuz the cities're kinda big, aye?

Four or five. Just one for each.

You don't think that'll be enough? [He kind of expects most people won't bother anyway.]

If I's cuttin' one a them things up an chuckin' its guts I wouldn't drag it clear 'cross town jus' t' put it in some special shitty garbage can. But if I had t' take it like, a couple blocks? Sure, could do that. Set up more, y'll get more. Catch me?

Okay!

[He'll set up a million seed stations everywhere. Look what you've done Namur.]

[Well hey, at least someone listens to him once in awhile.]

Got signs an' shit so people know what the hell they are?

Well, yeah, of course.

[He's not completely dumb.]
