I'm going in. No use in watching you dig... Bury all these failed potions for me and get in as soon as you can to rest.
Seeing you succeed tomorrow is probably just wishful thinking, but who knows!
Pepper
Alright, I'll hurry! But, by the way, what's this thing about always burying everything? Wouldn't it be better if we...
Cayenne
If WHAT?

Uhm... Well, of course, I'm no expert... But the vegetable patch this year is really weird and that goes for a lot of the other plants around the house too.

Same with the ants, they're really up to some strange stuff.
So, anyway... I thought to myself that maybe we have a bit of a problem with pollution and should think about cleaning up a bit...
Cayenne
Listen, Miss "I-Ruin-All-My-Potions", your Hippiah costume is no doubt going to your head.
In Chaosah, we bury our mistakes! It's been our tradition since the beginning of time and I don't give a hoot what MOTHER NATURE thinks about it! So you shut it and you DIG!!

"Oh, handsome warrior, blond and golden-locked!"
"...You who haunt my chaos!"
"...You are the entropy of my auroras."
Nice poetry, mistress Cayenne! It's crazy what you can learn about witches who bury all of their mistakes!

We have all had our failures. I am no longer the Cayenne who wrote that. That journal was buried for a very specific reason.
Pepper
...
OK! But what do you say to this then?

CHAOSAH SUTRA by Thyme
Thyme
It's simply an error of my youth, and in any case isn't appropriate for your age!
Pepper
Hmm... I see...
You really can't be embarrassed by any of this...

Pepper
But the environment! Nature! We can't keep polluting everything like this without suffering serious consequences!!!
Cayenne
It hasn't caused us any problems so far! We are witches of Chaosah! And our problems get buried deeply! We will not debate traditions!
Cumin
Oh, look what I've just found! I can't believe it!
How did this get down here?
She probably needs a little tuning, but still strums alright.

Cumin
How did it go again? Cha~Cha Cha, Chaooosah!
Haha, I've forgotten the lyrics! Maybe my song book is here somewhere too...
Cayenne
...so, we're all in agreement. Update to the rules of Chaosah: From now on, we sort, crush and recycle everything! EVERYTHING!!
