It starts small - a few greenhouses have seen their crops wither, and the kedan frantically scramble to find the cause. By the time they do, it’s too late. Three days later, the problem seems to occur in every single one of the major greenhouses and hydroponics stations; plants withered and dead, and several kedan sick and showing signs of Dust poisoning after contact with the water supply. While there were no deaths, all had to go to the Healers Guild and several had severe enough reactions that their stay was more than just a brief treatment and overnight observation.

The initial response from a few of the more superstitious kedan is that the run of bad luck has culminated in the ruin of their efforts. More level-headed kedan will be inclined to take a more scientific approach. Kyde and a number of chemists are called in to take samples.

As one might expect (or not, as the case may be), Dust had been somehow integrated into the water that feeds the hydroponics and greenhouses, which wound up killing the plants and sickening the kedan. While it hadn’t made it into the main water supply for the city, there was clearly enough of an organized effort that it affected the public greenhouses and hydroponics systems. Every piece of equipment that comes in contact with the water will have to be flushed to prevent another die-off. It's a big setback, and the process will take several weeks to complete, reigniting concerns about food shortages.

The culprits even left a calling card - painted on the walls or tarps is a message: MALICANT WILL RISE.

Tensions are high everywhere in the city, and morale is low as the culmination of the kedan and Foreigner’s hard work was ruined and, while they aren’t back to square one, there is an enormous amount of work ahead. Going forward, there is an urgent call for the development of better filtration systems to keep out toxins while still distributing essential nutrients, and better security. The kedan will be looking toward Foreigners for assistance in these matters.

It takes Danny a moment to process that. Because even after all this time, something as simple as that was really what he wanted most of all.

Acceptance. Being able to be just Danny to people. Sometimes it seemed like almost everyone he knew only liked half of him. His parents liked his human half and hated his ghost half. Valerie was like that too. So many people in Amity Park thought Danny Phantom was cool, but Danny Fenton was just a weird loser.

It was hard, sometimes.

Danny gives Chat a crooked grin in return.

"Don't ever apologize for that. There's not a lot of people who can say that."

And it meant something to him.

And this, Adrien knows only too well. Adrien had to be polite, restrained, perfect. People who knew him only as Adrien only got half the picture- just as those who only knew him as Chat knew this...too larger than life to be real persona (purrsona) he had made for himself. Neither side were really him. He was a mixture of the both.

He offers Danny a lopsided grin in return. Or rather, he tries, but it morphs into something much more genuine.

"I know how that one goes. But that's why you got me. Lucky you."

"Don't you mean that's why you got me?"

Another grin right back.

He can't help but chuckle at that one/

"That too! We got each other."

"True. And this is now getting way too close to the kind of sappy conversation my sister was always trying to get me to have when she was playing amateur psychologist. Want to go find some trouble to stop?"
purrns: (🐾 Or stood up and yelled)

"I think it's important that we do. Do something a little more manly before we have to hug or something."
