And as suddenly as the mushrooms had first appeared, they vanish again.  Every single one.  Across town, there is no trace of the poison that had sent so many people spiraling into uncontrollable nightmares.  Those caught in the grips of hallucination will find themselves instantly cured, no matter what they were in the middle of seeing.  Once more

[Of course, Lucas had already explained this stuff to her when they met and they were both under the effects. She plays with the phone cord, unsure if she wants to answer. She's ashamed. They had such a heart to heart, but in the end, she nearly forgot about it and completely failed, and that's something she doesn't want him to know. Probably, he had a stronger heart than hers, and made it through. If he didn't, she doesn't want to know about that, either.

... But, it was like they said... it's worse alone. Rin has always had a crying shoulder in Len. Doing it by herself... she's done it so much since coming here, but after yesterday, she just can't. She's desperate enough. But she's a bit tired to do the right thing and tell him it's not his fault, so she settles on the "something" as her topic. It does have her curious.]

What is it? ♪

[Lucas is glad to hear from her, of course, but he will answer her question before asking how she had fared.]

It's... a little difficult to explain. I guess I can describe it as the antidote to what the mushrooms did to you. What you experienced then... flip it to its opposite.

[doublerinbow]

[that does sound confusing.]

... white lies? ♪

[a_gentle_boy]

No. All truths. Maybe... truths you never realized or that you never thought about enough, but... things you need to know about yourself that are true, and good.

[ Low whistle time. Not sounding anything less than casual. ]

Got some dangerous fungus springin' up in your world, bro.

[a_gentle_boy]

Um. [Not quite the point he had been trying to make, but he will try to be lighthearted.] I guess so. These are probably even worse than the ones that just try to kill you...

[ironicjournal]

Depends on who's eatin'. 'course, I'd have to go with the ones that try to kill you since there's more fun in it. [ completely unaffected by these events. of course. Denial is a specialty. ]

[a_gentle_boy]

...They never gave me much trouble, to tell the truth.

[He'd felt bad about murdering doggies, actually, but had consoled himself with the thought that since the mushroom was growing from their head, they were probably in a lot of misery.]

Did you... eat any of the Tanetane mushrooms, Mr. Strider?
