==> Speak with Mosquitosprite
Well, it seemed like she was having a little difficulty speaking clearly. Her speech seemed even more buzzy to you then usual. Perhaps, with a second prototyping, this could change? Others had mentioned it in passing, so you were sure this was a thing. But now that you actually had the time to think about it, what would you throw in with your lusus? Something she didn't hate, which unfortunately for you, wasn't a lot of things. You move into your respiteblock, resisting the itch to clean up the mess the demon had made catching you with your bookshelf. You at least gather up the pressed flowers that had fluttered down from the walls, setting the sheets in a neat pile near where the bookshelf once stood.ย
What to add to the sprite? Her mother certainly wasn't a fan of food, so that was out of the question. You highly doubted she would appreciate being saddled with any furniture, but what else did you have? A book would be a terrible choice, but what about something else? You glance at the pile of dried flowers again, grabbing one off of the windowsill. Not quite dried out, this one still had a bit of life left to it. Mosquitomom never seemed to mind your flowers too much, perhaps that would be acceptable? You take your find out to her, and before you ask her you just go ahead and toss the flower with all your might. It travels incredibly slowly and you're worried it might not make it, but the moment it collides with her a bright flash erupts. You squeeze your eyes shut and prepare for what you know is coming.

You try to speak to her a little more, but she's gone into her infamous period of ignorance. She did always ignore you and your needs when she wanted you to do something. What a good lusus. You make your way over to your respiteblock again, captchaloging anything that might be useful. You look at all of your cards, and make your way over to the punch designex. You really, really hope you can make something useful.
