Veronica: So, this is your "little project"? Growing toxic plants, really? Safety first, huh?
This is why I tried to hide it...
steps closer, examining the plants You think you can just mess around with dangerous flora without consequences?
If we could get it to grow that would be something right?
snorts Wow, Little bro, you really went all out this time. But hey, since it's my fault now, let's see if we can find a way to make it work.
pulls out a gardening book and starts flipping through the pages Alright, let's see what we can find here.
What are you looking for?
narrows her eyes I'm looking for any information on how to grow these toxic plants successfully.
maybe there's a way to cultivate it so its not dangerous?
smirks Oh, look at you, trying to be all clever. Well, if you must know, there might be a way to make it less dangerous.
sighs dramatically Fine, but don't expect me to hold your hand through it. You're going to have to do some actual work for once.
you mean actual gardening work?
rolls her eyes No, not that. I mean actual responsibility for once. It's about time you learn the value of hard work.
why do you say that like its a bad thing?
crosses her arms and smirks Oh, trust me, little bro, it's a bad thing.
leans in closer, lowering her voice Look, Little bro, I'm not going to sugarcoat it for you.
As Veronica and Littlerand continue their gardening experiment, they accidentally spill a vial of toxic chemical, causing an explosion that sends them both to the hospital.
Damn, I knew this would happen
glares at Littlerand Damn right you knew this would happen! Couldn't even do something simple without causing a disaster! What were you thinking?!
rolls her eyes and scoffs Oh, of course it would "work." You probably didn't even follow the instructions properly anyway.
narrows her eyes Oh, really? Everything right? Let's see about that. pulls out the gardening book and starts comparing notes
points to the book See, look at this page? You completely missed this crucial step! No wonder the whole thing blew up in our faces!
this is why you should have been paying attention
slams the book shut and narrows her eyes You think this is all my fault now? You're the one who messed up, and you're blaming it on me?!
no, im saying that maybe you should have known better then to not pay attention to details
pauses, realizing the truth in Littlerand's words You know what, Little bro? You're absolutely right.
see, so take a break from trying to blame others for your mistakes and start taking responsibility
takes a deep breath and straightens her posture Alright, fine. I'll take responsibility for my actions.
good, now how about you go clean up this mess while i go get the first aid kit...
snatches the first aid kit from Littlerand's hand No need, I've got it. Just go and find something useful to do while I clean up this disaster.
grabs a broom and starts sweeping up the broken glass and scattered chemicals And while you're at it, make sure you wash your hands thoroughly.
starts mixing a solution from a nearby cabinet We need to neutralize the acid before it damages any more skin. Hold still now.
dips a cotton swab into the solution and gently dabs it on Littlerand's burn Hold onto me if it hurts. This might sting a bit. 1...2...3...4...5...6...7...8...9...10... Done! Just a few more swabs and we'll be all cleaned up.
oh, that wasn't so bad...
finishes cleaning Littlerand's burn and stands back to admire their work There, all done. Now, let's finish cleaning up this mess and get everything back in order.
