[Herb] Well it might not be morning where you are
[Herb] Here the sun is really bright even early
[Herb] Good for my plants
[Herb] They like to be told who i text
[Herb] Do you want to see them?
[Herb] They want to be shown anyways
[Herb] Its weird because i was drinking tea which is made of plants
[Herb] And they were giving me the silent treatment
[Herb] But as soon as i take out my phone its all who are you texting who are you texting
[Herb] I just think they like to gossip since theyre stuck by the windows all day
[Herb] My outdoor plants on the balcony are much sweeter to me
[Herb] The ones in my room probably plot my murder when I leave not gonna lie
[Herb] They like my roommate better than me
[Herb] Okay im sending the pictures now
[Herb] I never realized how many plants i have until i have to photograph them all
[Herb] It wont let me send them all so im just sending the ones here
[Herb] I also don't want to walk everywhere and wake people up

The photo reveled a terracotta pot painted with an uneven coat of yellow paint. Acrylic no doubt. It was hung with rope to the ceiling. Within it rested a donkey's tail succulent that was rather long, reaching at least a few inches below the bottom of the pot. The wall was a dark green and sunlight brightened it with the pattern of windows casting shadows.

The photo showed a moonstone succulent sitting in a glass pot on a table. A mug of what was undoubtedly the previously mentioned tea in the corner of the photo. The table was white and plastic, like one of those tables you'd fold out for a party before putting away.

The photo showed a bird's nest fern tucked away beside a microwave. The counter was white and the wall was dark green. On top of the microwave rested a few Rubik's cubes and opaque jars. It didn't seem like any sunlight was hitting it at this very moment though.

The photo revealed a wooden shelf by a window. Sitting in the sun was a mint plant, a parsley plant, a chive plant, a thyme plant, a rosemary plant, an anise plant, and a chamomile plant. Outside was just skyline with some buildings out of focus. The bright oranges and pinks of the sunrise were quite visible and rather pretty.
[Herb] Their names are Bella, Wilbur, Ruben, and The Ladies of The Window Realm
[Herb] My roommate didnt want to name all the herbs
[Herb] Which
[Herb] Is clearly a crime
[Herb] He didnt want to go to the jail corner
[Herb] So he didnt but he shouldve
[Whipped Cream] Good afternnon.
[Herb] Morning!!!!
[Herb] Afternoon!!!!!!
[Whipped Cream] Thank you for the plant photos. I think it's safe to assume we're not in the timezone. It's currently lunch for me, I just got on a break.
[Herb] More dancing?
[Whipped Cream] Yes. Like I have said, I do it whenever I'm not eating or sleeping.
[Herb] That must take real dedication
[Whipped Cream] It does. That's probably why it's so hard to actually become professional, especially competing against those with magic on their side.
[Herb] Do you not have magic?
[Whipped Cream] No, I've achieved this all through determination and training. There was never people with magic in my town growing up. Sometimes I forget people have it.
[Herb] Makes sense to me
[Whipped Cream] Do your plants talk to you often?
[Herb] Its more like a onesided conversation really
[Herb] But yeah it makes them happy and grow better
[Whipped Cream] Really?
[Herb] Of course! they have feelings just like us
[Herb] They are my lovely children thats why they have names
[Whipped Cream] You said you had more than the ones you've shown, correct?
[Herb] Yeah!!!!
[Herb] But if i wake up my roommate it wont really matter if i take the picture or not
[Herb] Hed ruin my phone for waking him up so early
[Whipped Cream] What time is it for you?
[Herb] 5:30am
[Whipped Cream] That makes sense. I believe if I had the chance to sleep in and someone woke me up I too would react unfavorably.
[Herb] Yea!
[Herb] I kinda feel bad
[Herb] Hes been working a lot and is tired all the time coz of it
[Herb] Im not much help when it comes to that though i just freeze up
[Whipped Cream] Really?
[Herb] Ye a h...
[Whipped Cream] Is it that hard to work at a greenhouse?
[Herb] Oh
[Herb] Sometimes i guess
[Herb] I think i made it sound worse than it is
[Whipped Cream] Alright. I'm leaving to get lunch now, do you have anything else you'd like me to see or shall I leave?

It was a very blurry photo and it was hard to make details. It was mostly bright green with some blacks and whites along with a tan colour.
[Herb] Im bad at taking selfies but thats me giving you a thumbs up :D
[Whipped Cream] I can tell. Thank you for the encouragement. Have a nice morning.
[Herb] Have a nice lunch!
[Herb] Break a leg when you get to it!
[Whipped Cream] Will do.
