Long ago, humans set their sights on colonizing the galaxy because earth was starting to lack resources, but aside from space ships and intergalactic travel they've made Plants. They're power sources in the shape of beings capable of providing all humans need to survive—water, food, light, electricity... You name it, they can make it as long as they're taken care of.
It was supposed to make settling on uninhabitable planets easier.
... There were plenty of plants that were exploited, but there were also many who were cared for. Humans were doing what they needed to do to survive.
[ Lee Rang can take that as he wants, but it's obvious that Vash in general is trying to paint it not as dark as it could be. He believes in there being two sides to a story. ]
It isn't their fault their spaceship crashed onto a desolate planet.
[Rang leans back on the sofa, slinging one leg across the other. He can hear it in Vash's words and voice -- that this isn't a story meant to be lined with resentment or hatred.
still, rang smiles. it's less a smile and more baring of teeth, like he's waiting for the shoe to drop.]
So which one were you then? Were you taken care of or exploited?

And you're... [ Checks. ] Rang Lee. It's nice to meet you!

[(mean girls voice) you can't just ask people what they are, karen]

[ ????????? He did see Rang is super old, but he just chose not to think about it.
So now he has to think about all the olds, including himself. ]
Huh?!?!?!
no subject
rang squints]
Are you -- [he checks vash's profile again] "acting"? Why are you so surprised?
no subject
[ DAMN, the AUDaCITY. ]
no subject
[so fair's fair???]
Plus, I'm interested. Normally, I'd be able to sense what you are, but I don't have that ability right now.
no subject
[ Wearily. He takes a moment... ]
I'm a plant.
no subject
[not the poorly disguised human-racism, he raises an eyebrow, interested]
I used to know a lot of trees, but they never took human form.
no subject
How to explain this. ]
Not like those plants. Think manmade power plants.
no subject
rang: what................... he squints]
So humans made you? [humans also make other humans but he's not thinking in those terms] Why?
[this is an even ruder question, but he's also genuinely curious]
no subject
[ He just latches onto Rang being a rude little bitch. ]
no subject
It's not like I have anything more important to do. And this kind of thing is useful, right? For finding teams.
[or making friends but he doesn't care about that]
no subject
[ Vash hasn't been thinking about that much. ]

...Let me guess, they stopped taking care of them along the way, and just kept taking instead?
[were the plants.... ABANDONED....]

[ Just calls him out while he crosses his arms. His pillow-y arms. ]
no subject
Let me guess... exploited? It'd make more sense if you were taken care of, but you seem like the type who'd be very understanding.
no subject
[ Gently thwaps him with his pillow sleeve. ]

You're the one who didn't answer my question.
