[ it's the same person thorns told about offering the ghost potatoes. he says, a little fearfully, that he needed help with a job but did not have any on him. so, he took one from the pantry… who would notice a singular potato? probably no one.

but then, other people had the same idea and so that singular potato turned into multiple potatoes. they woke up in the morning to the furniture in their room shifted a few pixels and to being hit with a face full of confetti when they tried to leave.

so basically, thorns started this potato heist. he has no one to blame but himself.

[ they explain they just found it on their workstation when they turned around to do something else. there was a scary note saying to deliver this to the captain or they'll face consequences.

it's such a bizarre thing to come across and normally he wouldn't give it any weight, but weird things have been happening aboard the ship anyway that he felt compelled to follow its orders.

is he dismissed yet? he wants to be dismissed…

[ the first potato was also good but thorns let it die a tragic death. and to answer thorns' question: the power of knowing reirin.

and they should only be scared if the potatoes are unethically sourced… the word of god is whoever is in charge of meals and if anyone is caught sneaking things again, they will have to answer to their kindly neighbourhood friend. the potatoes did nothing wrong!!!!!

he shows up to the meeting spot looking incredibly eepy and practically swaying as he bumps into place next to thorns.

Eating when you're on the move is how you give yourself indigestion. You might still be.
