#vegemorphs

Marco: Rhubarb. It's harmless and nutritious if you eat only the stalks, poisonous if you eat the leaves.

Jake: Onion. It's basically useless and near-inedible alone; its greatest strength is making other vegetables taste infinitely better.

Cassie: Carrot. They're easily overlooked, but have hidden depths (YSWIDT?), and they're one of the lowest-impact crops.

Ax: Avocado. Tough on the outside, gooey-soft in the middle, but rock-hard and dangerous at their very core.

Rachel: Thistle. It's beautiful, it makes a nice tea — and, of course, it's best known for being pointy as hell.

I can't tell you my first name—or my last name, either. And I can't tell you where I live. But I might be lying in your refrigerator's vegetable bin or in the produce section of your local supermarket right now. So let me ask you—no, beg you—please, please don't put any vegetables into a zipper bag. I know this sounds crazy, but let me explain. I can't tell you anything about me or my friends, because then the Jerkks would find us. They are the fungus among us. They are trying to decay the whole world—all the vegetables and people. It's not easy for me to keep secrets . . . . Okay, I'll tell you this much. The town I live in is a small one. To tell you any more would be dangerous. If any of the head fungi (I mean the fungi in charge, not the ones that grow on someone's head) got hold of me, the results would be, well, blistering. I can only tell you my code name and those of my friends who are fighting the fungus. My code name is Kyle—I mean, Kale—and I'm a boy. The code names for the rest of us are: Carrot, who is a boy; Tomato, a boy who is my best friend; Radish, my cousin, who is a girl; and Olive, a girl I sort of like.

Inktober Day 5: Evolution

I vegemorphed Carrot One Piece because the prompt forced my hand, that was the only thing I could have done.
