✧ He Row Soup Lies ✧

---

In one of the buildings in the town square - the one that once held a welcome party for the new arrivals - all signs of the feast have vanished. The scribbles on the wall now read "HE ROW SOUP LIES," accompanied by several instances of the word "ASK" in various colors and sizes. Beside that is written "us thank they!"

The tables have been replaced by one large bright pink box. The word "ASK" is also written on it multiple times.

Here is where you can request things of the Agrii. They're very grateful for your presence and would love to do anything they can to help. Anything at all.

Just ... ASK.

The Replicator

Ever since the Agrii sent the He-Rows to Risa, the Replicator has become a permanent fixture next to the Soup Lies box, useful for things that the Soup Lies cannot provide or may be too complicated for the Agrii to understand. Information about the full functions of the replicator are available in the game FAQ. If you have any questions not addressed there, please ask them on the FAQ.

Using the Replicator does not require you to post here.

Stuff for canning foods. You know, preservation of food for long term consumption. And maybe a book teaching me how to do that?

[trpmods]

Maybe they're catching on. A little?

At least, partly. You'll receive a variety of empty cans, complete with the "original"(?) labels (that you may or may not want).

Instead of a book, though, you get these flashcards (in actual paper format).

[Tommy sighs and shakes his head, leaving the thing in the box.]

No. I can't can thing like that. I'm not a machine and I don't know how. And these instructions don't tell me HOW. I need glass jars and instructions. Unless you guys are going to send us full cans of food. We can't live on protein paste alone. The greenhouse is useless if we can't keep the food long term. And we can't make glass jars and their lids.

[trpmods]

Hmm.... a canning machine, maybe?

And glass jars.

Instructions?

[doubled_speed]

Perfect! I mean, I don't know what to do with the can opener, but the rest? Exactly what I wanted. Now to just figure out how to get more jars in the future. But these? That's good. Thanks!

[He reads through the book at lightning speed and then grins.]

Dude! This even says how to dehydrate and smoke and pickle. This is PERFECT!

KEEP FOOD LONG TERM MAKE HAPPY?

[doubled_speed]

Yeah, guys. It makes us happy. But it's more than that. It means we can have flavors that you only get in spring in other times of the year too. And if something goes REALLY wrong like the greenhouse gets damaged or the plants get sick, we still have fresh food.

Keeping food long term is SUPER important to us being healthy and surviving.

I can't do much with this number of jars, but I can at least preserve whatever has, like, vitamin C so we won't get scurvy.

START WITH JARS GIVE. THEN ASK!

[doubled_speed]

Good choice little guys. Big guys? Whatever. Thanks.
