Godhood XIV - Usurper [Honey Edition Turn 3]

Nash-Marr pricks up his ears, rubs tiredly at his not-eye again, looks down at his paw and licks ineffectually at the ink on his fingers. He grimaces, and excuses himself from the other gods and takes a stroll on Serbia's flatlands.

These little flowers are nice, he supposes, but they're not nearly the same as grasslands under moonlight. He scratches at his blind side again, flecking blacker-than-black on the plain. A red savannah-like grass springs up where he leaps and bounds across Seriba's plains, black under the greenish light of Nash-Marr's moon. The Rhode is wind-pollinated, spreads quickly, is capable of hybridising with similar grasses, has palatable if tiny grain-like seedheads, and is intolerant of consistently low temperatures and salt air.

As he runs to the coast, Rhode seeds catch in his fur, and he shakes them off and lets them grow there. The second grass he calls Sebright - it has a subtle silver sheen, spreads slower than Rhode, is also wind-pollinated and capable of hybridising, and has larger seedheads with tougher husks and barbs to catch on fur and feather. It cannot survive frost or freezing, coexists with Rhode in coastal regions, but outcompetes it nearer the sea. Grasslands dominated by Sebright make "shimmering" noises as the tougher blades of grass collide in a sea breeze.

Nash-Marr makes Rhode, the red grass of the plains, and distributes in several suitable patches across the planet. -2 acts

He makes Sebright, the silver grass of the coast, and distributes it in smaller clumps but more widely as it will spread slower. -2 acts

Nash-Marr doesn't think too hard about the nature of these things, borrowing and romanticising instead from what he remembers of plants in his homeland. Under the moonlight, the meadows are a sussuration in darkness and the faintest verdigris, the land chequerboarded and in motion than sparse and still and dotted only with flowers. He howls with delight, for a moment not caring if the others hear him.
