[ there's darkness for a moment before the camera clicks on to yukari, seated at what looks to be a kitchen table and holding a small potted succulent in her hand. the large deer antlers and rabbit ears atop her head are proof enough that it's iris, one of them twitching toward a noise off screen while she settles back in her chair.

satisfied that it's recording, she gives a little wave to the camera with her free hand. ]

Hey, everyone. So this "taking care of plants" thing is still pretty new to me, but he looks kind of sick, right? [ she holds the plant closer to the camera for confirmation, and she's right, it seems under the weather for a succulent. a few of the leaves at the bottom are yellow and look swollen, and when she brushes a finger against one of them, it pops off with no resistance.]

I'm not really sure what's wrong with him. Everything was fine a few weeks ago. [ her mouth turns down into a worried frown, brows knitting together as she turns her gaze from the plant back to the camera. ] If anybody has advice, I'm open to it. Tips would be great, too. Or...I dunno, anything.

Oh my... that sure does look to be over-watering, as others have already said. I wouldn't worry too much, though! Succulents are very hearty and can take a few mistakes from someone still learning. They're good starters for that reason!

Would you mind if I came and looked at it in person, though? I could give a little encouragement to recover faster.

[ her shoulders sag in relief and there's a genuine smile on her face now she's got some encouraging news. so she didn't totally ruin the plant's life and there's a decent chance it'll make a full recovery. phew. ]

I don't mind! Wait, your encouragement isn't threatening to kill him, is it? Because someone I've met told me I have to "show them who's boss" to make him grow. [ crowley goodomens has some interesting gardening tips. ]

[Clearly!]

What? No! Of course not! Who would do that? Plants don't even work that way!
