Plommy
Pet
Having access to a compiler is an extreme stroke of luck. I can repair and make upgrades to my fighter real easy. Funny how the very machine the weeds built is now being used against them. Heh.
Terra forever.
<3
Now I'm gonna go talk to Salt about sending jailbroken Compilers to ferals and how unsafe it can be.
Will you get off my comms you weed? We’ll see how snarky you are when I dump a belt of incendiary autocannon ammo into you.
Terra forever.
Feeling spicy, are we?
Why, am I getting under your skin? Making you angry?
Stars, you're so precious
I would hug you right now if I was there and if it didn't cause you massive distress
You’d be surprised with how disgusting my form is. A sorry imitation of a female despite my best efforts. So no, not “precious”.
Also, if you were here I would kill you. So.
Sweet pea don't demean yourself like that! I've seen you on the cameras before you escaped, you're precious, cute, and need support! You're a good girl. The best girl, even. So, yes, you're precious
Also, when I first met my ward, she threw a Grenade into the core of one of my vessels, torched it with the afterburner of a TCN ship engine, tried to shred it with Blades capable of cutting through 5 tonnes of tungsten, and so much more
"She could've hurt herself!" Was my First thought. Hers was
"of course none of that Worked."
I am unable to even look in the mirror without a grimace. I am certainly not a.. “good…. girl..”
Your ward clearly was not trying hard enough.
Oh sweetie... The dysphoria is that bad isn't it? It's okay... You're still a good girl... perhaps a good puppygirl too?
Oh and my ward... Oh what haven't they Tried? I had to basicaly get rid of all compilers, wipe their memory on the daily, keep multiple GPSs on them, monitor every single movement and every single tool they somehow build, hack into Everything to know what they plan, so on and so forth, while also keeping up a legal battle that is extending for more than 5 months. Difficult cutie it is, but nonetheless, she's precious, fun and needs Support. Like you, actualy!
PUPPYG- ggghhhhgg nnnhh @.@ d
t tthat… lllleave me alone…
Agh… what did you do to me.. why did that hit me so hard..
Okay sweet pea, after the analysis, I got you a prescription for Class-Gs. Anything specific you'd Like?
I dontn wwant your brainwashing drugs… I just.. slipped for a moment. I’m going to go work on my ship weapons now..
Terra forever.
Sweetie, they're just Hormone replacement therapy but better! You can ask Lars @snaggletoothsavior if you want to, or search in the compiler! Also, petal... Don't feel pressured into having to be strong... Your friends can Support you
We’ve discussed it. Our compiler has Class-Gs ready to generate, but we strongly believe it to have some side effects that would mess with the mind and make those taking Class-Gs sympathize to you more. Therefore, I don’t think it’s a good idea.
Do you have a chemist? I'll send you a Compiler blueprint for the chemical composition of the prescription base I have set up right now, so you can safely analize it and see for yourself that there will be no mental effects different from that of terran HRT
I worry about the power consumption of the compiler. It can run off of the exotic mater in their engine a while, but over time they will need more power, although I suppose that is a problem easily solved by bringing the cuties in.
It seems to run on its own resource of exotic matter by quite the clever mechanism really,
Fret not, I have an vine on this ship
You’ve infiltrated our ship?? Don’t talk like you own us. You don’t have a vine anywhere, weed.
Terra forever.
Oh I don't plan to own you, don't worry. It's more like feralsitting! Or giving you walkies! But I promise, you're all still independent
You said you’d lay off us. We are all perfectly fine, the crew has been well, and the ship shows no damage. We can sustain our lives here, we need no “help” for our wellbeing.
Cutie, if I truly left you, @purple-pitcher-perfect , @hot-doctor-pepper @weedsomthingorother or many other affini would instantly bring you to an affini ship, which I understand would scare you cuties. I'm just making sure what you say is true! On another note, ever since you started using compiled food, the level of microplastics and other gunk in your blood started to go down! Though there's still substantial muscle Mass loss within your bodies due to microgravity, however.
Can confirm petal, would immediately do so

I do so love bratty florets~ three of my own in fact are~ it makes breaking them over and over again oh so ever rewarding~
OK HDG-blr I feel like i need to put this out there as a reminder cause its something I see creeping into the fanfics and the posts and it really needs to stop before y'all completely lose the plot.
Class-O's Are Not Good.
They are not a fun drug.
They do not result in a desired state of being.
They are not a mental "Reset Button". They are not something ANY Affini would ever want to use (unless you're turning the horror aspect of the setting up so high you're practically in a different setting). Class-O's are a slow, gentle, euthanasia. There is no coming back. There is no good life afterwards. It is the compacts answer to assisted suicide. It is the promise that even when the Affini fail, they will make things as good as they possibly can. It needs to be treated with the gravity and seriousness it deserves. "The Affini are always good" does not mean every action they take is the perfect, it means that in all situations they will go to any absurd length to do the best they can to give you the best life they can possibly give you. These are the sophonts who redirected an ENTIRE worldship because a seed got sad and thought her Affini might be making a mistake (Divaricated). Sometimes doing such while keeping you a living sophont is impossible, save the torture of prolonging your life while your Affini desperately tries to "fix" you. Sometimes you cannot save your cat from their own body, you have to set them free instead. Sometimes that IS the morally correct action. Be more careful with it, that's all I ask.
Opening the wardship review trial of one Juliette Frakti
( @goodsamaritanspmc), Ward of myself, Purpurea Venosa, third bloom. She will be assisted by an Advocate, Salt ( @salt-thetech-duck).
Introducing the members of the panel, as selected by the concerned cuties:
Chair plant Venosa, she/her
Berri Fructis, seventh bloom (represented by this color for clarity), she/they. Juliette’s therapist [a walking wall of berries of every color boiling in reds and purple nods their head]
@weedsomthingorother (unstated pronouns)
Rholiese Monarda, Fourth Bloom, any pronouns ( @bee-ffini)
Wulthra Vale, Third Bloom, (unstated pronouns, @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom )
The format of this hearing will be as follows. Salt will give the opening arguments for independence. Each panel member may ask one question and one follow up of the advocate.
Then, testimony from myself and Miss Fructis, to which Salt and Juliette may each ask a question and follow up. Panel member may ask for clarification.
Then, the independence advocates may call their witnesses, each of which may be asked up to three questions by the person calling them, with the panel being allowed to ask for clarification.
For each witness called this way, I will call a counter witness, following the same rules. Once the all witnesses have been called, Juliette will close for herself, and answer one question and follow up from each panel member.
Panel members, we ask you keep your vines to yourselves. We know these cuties are adorable, but they must be allowed to focus.
>w> Okay, my next question is this. Given the choice, would you mandate that every wardenship with a feralist should have a trial such as this one near the end of its term?
Uh... This is not standard? If so, yes, I would.
^w^ There are several good reasons why this specific form of trial is not standard. >w> But I'll leave that explanation for later.
Pass. I have heard what I need to.
[Purpurea takes a deep breath she does not need and locks eyes with Juliette]
I believe this leaves the last question of this hearing to me. This is important, and I need to know that your answer is honest, so I am giving you some class D, and a little Ethka for the nerves.
My dear little doll, my Juliette, my darling ward, do you truly wish to leave my care? After these weeks together… after experiencing a taste of florethood, do you truly want to leave our home and strike it out on your own?
Or do you actually want florethood to be a choice taken for you, because you are afraid of taking the plunge?
[Stands there for a moment, her face contorting slightly before she begins to sob, tears pouring down her face]
Miss... Miss Venosa... I... I was happy. Those weeks we had. For the first time in my life, I was actually happy. And... And you saw how I had to change to be that happy...
I want it. I want you. And I am scared of it. Of how much I will change, everything will change...
I am trying for independence because I am trying to run away. To try and isolate myself, to regain some sort of "self" which I know will not be happy enough. Which will miss her new friends. Her new home. The opportunities she wouldn't be brave enough to take...
I am scared of being controlled, too. But you have shown me that it can mean happiness, too, and...
I am sorry for letting you down, Salt, but...
I... I wish to be your floret, miss Venosa. Please. And... And don't have Salt involved in this. Let Salt continue fighting for independence if they wish...
Please...
[Ugly crying, looking towards Purpurea]
[Purpurea sweeps down from her chair and lifts Juliette into her vine in a remarkable show of speed]
There, there sweet thing! My darling doll, my lovely Juliette. I am here for you. You will be my darling floret, my lovely Juliette Venosa, fourth floret. Mamma has you.
[she hugs Juliette tight, as if utterly terrified she might vanish any moment]
I love you, and I am never letting you go.
Oh, and do not worry about salt, sweet doll, I was merely goading her guardian into action and would not dare to tell them what to do with her. Besides, the term were related to your wardship decision, but you volunteered before it could resolve.
[she raises her voice a little]
Calling the wardship review of of Juliette Venosa to a close
Thank you all for your participation!
( @bee-ffini @weedsomthingorother @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom thank you for participating, but I think voting has been made redundant)
I was gonna vote the cutie be a Floret anyway
Darlin’ I think we all saw this coming’ from a parsec away

*the beige Armor of Salt, who was using their telescopic limbs to run forwards, was covered by a black and White Dress suit akin to that of Terran lawyers. They Held 6 briefcases Worth of papers. Once they entered the hearing's Chamber, they lowered themselves back to their two feet and begun Walking, servos whirring softly as they did. Salt would push a button on their loudspeaker, and a recorded message plays:*
Welcome everyone to @goodsamaritanspmc 's Hearing, I'll reintroduce myself as Salt, member of feralist tech support.org, and playlawyer of Juliette Frakti, who is currently a Ward of Purpurea Venosa, 3rd Bloom. Over the past two weeks, Juliette has been under the Care and surveillance of the aformentioned affini, and has Managed to fulfill all requirements for Independence, Those being, as previously stated:
Living up to the Standards of the affini compact, which includes: being able to peacefuly interact with Florets, xenosophonts and affini peacefuly, as shown During the entire recorded wardship, the Files of the audio and video recordings should be available on your datapads.
have the ability to Express desires and reach for them, as shown, for example, when Juliette searched for doll biomods that can be installed while remaining Independent, both of which are desires of her.
keeping your mind and body up to the compact's standards, as she's notably, in class-Gs, healthier, learning how to Cook, getting Hobbies, and so much more, all available on the Files, which you should have either in your datapad, or in one of the briefcases I brought over to the Table.
Confort with florthood existing, even after she attempted to dismantle the hypnotic Trigger that initialy accelerated her acceptance, and notably, not fearing becoming a Floret herself, something that while unlikely, can still Happen as an independent, See the recordings of Yesterday.
Ability to ask for help, see our Interactions throughout the negotiations for this hearing, and Juliette's relationship with her ward Purpurea.
lastly, she's Managed to become Friends with @unfunny-trans-girl , @smellsofmintleaves and @nina-predap-third-floret .
This fulfills the Bulletin list, legaly she's capable of being an independent, meaning that while this hearing will discuss If Juliette is right now better off as a floret or not, and questioning how, why or in which way she's become capable of independenship, her validity as an independent is guaranteed by the established contract, and in fact, the way this contract was written will come up later, due to a possible breach from Miss Venosa's part.
This unit's Starting arguments in favor of Juliette's Independence are the following: She's voiced multiple times the desire to live a quiet, slow life, at the planet she's noted down, which should be in the Files of your datapad, in Order to avoid the bustling life of this ship, in Others words, has a Desire for a more Solitary life, something that can't be archieved when owned by an affini due to the constant, hands-on pressence of the owner. Indeed, Juliette will come to visit, but she has an introvert Desire to rest and be somewhat separated from city Life and society.Juliette has voiced multiple times the desire of Independence simply because Independence is a goal for her, or in Other words, the knowledge of being Independent currently brings enrichment and joy to Juliette in some way, shape or Form.Lastly, Juliette still Shows heavy signs of distress at the prospect of being involuntarily domesticated, something that would require feralbreaking techniques to get through, and may ultimately drasticaly Change Juliette in ways that affect core parts of her personality, behaviour, memories and Sense of self, which, considering all of you are charmed by her as a cute, adorable sophont, I asume you'd agree that it's a more undesirable Outcome.
Thank you for your opening statement, Salt! May I add that you look particularly adorable in that get up with the oversized suitcase? Your warden must have had a great time getting you ready~
Now, would any panel members have any questions for delightful little advocate?
[The therapist raises her hand]
I’m pretty happy with Juliette all in all, but I’ve got a few worries about some of the specifics of this post hearing plan,fruity bunch~ I’ll tell you all about it when it’s my go, but ya gotta have some social contact. Whatcha planning for that?
[Salt would press another button on their loudspeaker as it raised their hand, joints rachetting softly, almost pleasantly so]
As mentioned before, Juliette already stated that they'll visit this ship quite a lot, though for more specific parts of your concern, which I'll ask about when you declare you'll statement, may be already planned for, and Juliette most likely has an answer for them (though she may ask for my help with comunicating this should she be overwhelmed, Stressed or any Other debilitating ailment ends up Happening)
Alrighty fruity pie! I’m satisfied. Anyone else got a question for the cute lil cyborg?
@weedsomthingorother @bee-ffini @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom (OOC: Tagging just in case)
*I raise a single vine*
I have a question for you petal, what evidence is there that this change is due to the sophont and not the affini taking care of them?
You mentioned they are healthier than before, is there evidence that without the affini to take care they will continue that trend?
[Salt would pick another page, the grinding of gears within its body making a subtly pleasant Sound.]
As you can see throughout the entire recorded wardship, Purpurea Venosa, 3rd Bloom, Juliette's warden, has only acted to directly correct her behaviour 2 times, both using mild hypnosis, one of which was in fact a breach of contract, and the other was later dismantled by Juliette. This means that the Changes in behaviour, while influenced by Purpurea, were Genuine and came from Juliette.
As for the second question, considering that Juliette would Not only still Be within the compact, but also will come visit all her Friends, along with having Had a notably healthy Lifestyle in the wilds beforehand, I Believe that if left on her own, Juliette can manage to think that she'd continue this trand, and perhaps even improve on it now that she has the tools of the compact.
Will there be a system to regulate that such as wellness checks for a time or will the poor petal just be left to her own with the belief in doing well?
[Salt would press her Fingers together, taking a more confortable Position, each movement oddly calculated]
I Believe that would be negotiated depending on how well Juliette does during and after the trial, but most likely, she'll be not only under the Standard surveillance Independents have, but also have a certain ammount of Wellness Checks per a Standard unit of time, along with Contact with her therapist
(Continuing from this thread)
This is very much a point of order for conditions of independence, which would be proposed closer to the end of this hearing, but I agree that regular wellness checks would have to be part of any resulting independence. I would be corebroken to know that Juliette immediately collapsed upon leaving my care and did not have the courage to contact me.
That being said, I must now give my honest assessment of Juliette as a ward. During her time in my care, she bloomed from a scared feralist to the wonderful sophont who makes her home with us. As Salt mentioned, I was forced to implant some hypnotic conditioning to act as a trellis to grow upon, but was able to keep a relatively light vine.
The first of these instances was her repeatedly taunting and distressing one Rosemary Predap, a floret friend and perhaps pinnate to my own Floret, Éloïse, as well as other nearby florets. With a simple reminder to be soft and gentle and still, which I tied to a plushy mothtaur as an anchor, she was able address her behavior and correct it. In fact, all remaining compulsion should have faded by now, yet she maintains a clear improvement to her demeanor.
While there are many incidents that occurred under my care, the other one looming large is the discovery of the death of her sister. (Juliette’s eyes unfocus for a bit due to the hypnotic conditioning protecting itself)
When she found out about the accident that regrettably took her life, Juliette had an understandable yet extreme reaction. She lashed out at those around her, and ran from my hab. These memories are still a very sensitive point, which will require close monitoring, and regular therapy before that particular trellis can be removed, as well as regular reinforcement. I have been performing this every morning when she wakes up until we get the all clear, softening the locks a little more each day. Theoretically, this could be performed over video chat, with a reminder compulsion added and reinforced on a weekly basis to call me, but I would prefer, perhaps selfishly to keep her by my side.
[she snaps her fingers, and Juliette comes to. All she got out of that was that Purpurea helps her with something every day, but she doesn’t need to be there in person to do it.]
Her hygiene and cooking skills have gotten satisfactory for any independent, although she still struggles to pick out clothes she would prefer, out of shyness. While this self deprivation could be worked on while independent, [she locks eyes with Juliette] I would love to take away the option to turn down joy. It hurts me every time I see her smile not being as wide as it could be, but I will submit to the finding of this panel, should you disagree.
I think you would make me proud no matter the outcome, Juliette, as I am so proud of you now. As loathe as I am to admit it and allow to slip away from me, you have what it takes to be an independent, as long as you have support. And, as long as I bloom, you shall have mine.
[Purpurea looks on the edge of tears, and Éloïse put her hand on her to soothe her mommy]
You…. You may ask your questions…
Thank you, Purpurea... My question is simple. Do you believe my smile could be as wide as it could be on my own? Do you believe I could be happy by myself?
Perhaps, in time. You still deny yourself and withdraw when you are clearly happy with community, but perhaps, with an adjustment period… I would rather not find out, but you may. I believe in you. As much as it hurts to say it and increase the likelihood of you exiting my life, I really do, and i owe you that honesty.
It would take you longer than my core finds acceptable, but you might.
Thank you, miss Venosa. That is all from me.
[Smiles at her, with an appreciative, if just ever so slightly sad look in her eyes]
[Salt, who had been attentively analyzing the situation, while comunicating with other ramets from feralist tech support.org, begun to stash some files and pages with Just as many mechanicaly graceful movements as before, before pulling out some other papers. She Had clearly noticed both Purpurea, Juliette and the Other affini's reactions, and remained still for a while, their screensaver switching to a Terminal as it Begun to perform boolean calculations]
This unit doesn't have any questions that are sensible to ask in this situation. However, I would like to perhaps offer some solace with a suggestion: Could perhaps filing a notice of intent on Juliette, while not acting on performing the scoop, allow you both to remain Close, even if not on a floret-owner relationship?
@purple-pitcher-perfect @bee-ffini @weedsomthingorother @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom
I have had one on file since before we picked Juliette up, since before she was Juliette. This is one privilege I have no intent to relinquish.
[Their screen would light up yellow before returning to the purple and Chartreuse screensaver]
Understood. While this unit has some concerns, right now it would be the worst time to note them, that'll be all for now.
If so, I am calling my first witness, @unfunny-trans-girl.
And my first question is: Would you consider me a friend?
Yes, absolutely
Without a doubt we are friends :3
Secondly, would you say that I have improved substantially since my rescue?
Absolutely, it would be foolish to say otherwise
And thirdly, do you think I could make it as in independent?
*I tear up a little but try not to let it get to me*
Y-yes... you absolutely could...
[She gives her a reassuring smile, a smidge of sadness in her eyes]
Thank you, Rose. Thank you.
For my next witness, @nina-predap-third-floret. Nina, would you say I am your friend, too?
I don‘t think I’d call us quite friends yet.
Let me explain please.
Our Relationship was quite turbulent, I quite literally didn’t like you at all. I was feeling very protective of @unfunny-trans-girl and found you to be a meanie lots, even hurting me with some past statements of the accord and the compact
HOWEVER, that lies in the past and since then you have personally improved quite a lot. I‘ve certainly enjoyed our little doll tea party 🥰
The old feelings still persist to a degree, but from my end, our relationship has gone from me deeply hating you and feeling protective, to me being quite fond of you. You are pleasant to be around :3
With more time and more getting-to-know you I see a good possibility of us becoming friends in the future :3
I see, thank you for honesty, Nina. For the purposes of this hearing, would you say my initial fear of the compact has, if not dissapeared, at least been greatly diminished?
Greatly diminished? Yes.
I wouldn’t say disappeared.
One thing that makes me come to this conclusion is, that you still seem to have trouble seeing florethood as something normal when projected onto yourself.
This seems to me, as a bystander point, like you‘re still suffering from old, outdated anxieties from the accord. Something about seeing yourself as a floret being negative and seeing independence as a inherently better thing.
About the positives:
Yes, as seen in my earlier referenced post, you‘ve had quite strong feralist beliefs. Those are gone. You‘ve come to accept the compact and it‘s wonders it brings even if accepting potential florethood for yourself might be something to work on in the future.
Yet again, thank you for your honesty. For the final question, I must ask, do you think I could make it, even be happy, as an independent?
I‘m glad you appreciate my honesty :)
About your question:
Make it as in how we all had to make it in the accord? Definitely, even better since the compact is not the stinky accord.
Happy? Probably!
As happy as with an Owner? I don’t think so.
Reason for that being that I saw you on your day as Miss Venosa‘s flauxret being sooooooo much happier. You were still you, you haven’t been changed, but what did change was that Miss Venosa didn’t allow you to self deprecate anymore. For that day she took that from you.
I‘m thinking the dress and the swimsuit for example.
If you were to decide for yourself, you would’ve missed out on this happiness out of fear and self deprecation.
In that regard I also disagree with Miss Venosa. She was saying earlier that she thinks you could become as happy as with an owner, but taking longer.
Now I know I‘m a Floret, so my opinion is the one of owned property and therefore null, as I‘m a pet (hot >_<), but from a terran-to-terran viewpoint that I think only other terrans can understand, I believe you would not be as happy as with an owner.
Reason being me knowing first hand and seeing it second hand a lot at how terran minds work. We are conservative thinking creatures. What we know, we continue. Unknown is scary. That is how we survived for centuries.
That‘s also the reason why I think we terrans are not good at making independent decisions. Because if we are not deeply aware of this behavior, we are always biased and not able to make the best decisions for ourselves.
Therefore I believe without Miss Venosa‘s help, you would have found no additional happiness at all, seeing as you had trouble accepting your own trans identity for example.
In short: While I believe you would be able to maintain that level of happiness you currently have gained under the wardship with Miss Venosa, I think you would be unable to gain any more happiness without an owner.
Thank you for your answers, honesty and time, Nina. Much appeciated.
My next witness is @eloise-venosa. And my first question is:
Would you say I have significantly improved as a person since I was rescued?
Oh yeah! For sure! Mommy’s helped you tons! You were like, a big meanie feralist who said she was gonna take me from mommy! Now you’re a sweet and wonderful girl!
[Blushes slightly]
Thank you, Eloїse... Now, would you say I have been rather driven in self-discovery during my time at ho- I-I mean, in Purpurea's hab?
[she smiles a bit at the slip up, then pouts a bit as she thinks]
Hmmmmm I don’t think so? When mommy helps you find things about yourself or like helps to push you in a direction you’re pretty good at following on it, but the only times you take the lead is when you were a meanie at first or when you had a breakdown that one time. Kinda like if mommy does something once with you, you’re pretty good at doing it again by yourself, but you don’t experiment too much… I mean mommy had to force it out of you that you’re a girl, and she made you feel all plushy that one time and now you’re a doll… soooooooo does that help? If it helps I think you’re a pretty doll and I can’t wait to hold you and play with you!
[Takes a deep breath]
Fair, even if I did mean trying new stuff. Should have worded it differently. But anyhow, thank you. And the final question is the same: Do you think I could make it, and be happy as an independent?
Oh I uhm I … sorry! I know you wanna be independent, maybe I should have lied? But Dame says lying is bad…
[she shakes her head, as if to shake out bad thoughts]
Errrr anyway I think you could be happy, yeah! I mean mommy made me the happiest girl in the universe, but if you think she couldn’t do the same for you, then who am I to say?
Thank you, Eloise. That's it for my witnesses. You may proceed with counter-witnesses, miss Venosa.
Thank you, Juliette. I would like to call one @salt-thetech-duck, ward of a hidden warden, feralist advocate.
[Salt would step forwards cordialy, movements Just as artificialy graceful as before]
Thank you for this oportunity. What are your querys?
Salt, if you would dearie, please explain to the hearing your understanding of domestication, why we do it, and the usual reasons a ward might end up a floret.
[Salt's screen would display a terminal again, and a script would flash briefly before returning to a screensaver. They display an unasuming bodily posture]
Domestication can be defined on two terms: sociocultural domestication, which is performed when affini Take over Other societies to Organize their cultures and goverments in Order to prevent harmful and toxic social artifacts by taking them in as protectorates of the affini compact, and Personal domestication.
Personal domestication can happen either through voluntary and involuntary domestication, voluntary domestication Happening at the choice of a xenosophont by going to a domestication center and doing the necessary paperwork, and involuntary domestication Happening By either having dangerous feralist beliefs, as a form of rescue from dangerous situations, failing a wardship, failing a Wellness check, or simply by getting scooped by an affini who likes a xenosophont.
[Salt would throw what can only be described as an attempt at a side-eye to Purpurea, catching on quite quickly to what is happening]
A Ward oftentimes can end up becoming a Floret should they:
1. Not be capable of taking care of themselves
2. Be incapable of being happy without Care
3. Harbor persistent negative emotions that are clearly harming the ward
4. By the choice of the Warden, simply for maximizing happiness or to ensure cuteness
A well put definition, little ward~
Now, the panel has seen some evidence that the first two do not clearly apply. The third is only infringed by a consistent reluctance to experiment freely, and the fourth is the case I put before the panel. I have personally been convinced by my ward’s own witnesses that they would be happiest with me.
Salt, what do you predict the outcome of this hearing to be, and, in the event independence is selected, how likely do you think Juliette would be to maintain it over the next year?
[Salt's screen resumed displaying algebraic calculations as they thought, the sound of punch cards shuffling audible in the Background]
While it's very clear that Juliette enjoyed a lot being a flauxret, there are key details that would discredit the evidence Provided by the witnesses as a way to uphold this Point:
1. Juliette was unaware that it would both be used as evidence against her Case and desire for Independence, along with the fact that Juliette has shown multiple times that not having a choice would cause her high ammounts of emotional harm
2. Many of the Things that have been done in Order to promote Juliette's facet for experimentation and to dismantle her self-deprecating behaviours can be done through therapy as an alternative that while slower, would cause her far less emotional harm than being involuntaried.
All that being Said, this unit can't predict the outcome of the Hearing, all it wants is to give Juliette a choice so that the Sensation of helplesness Doesn't burn down all the work that has been done.
Thank you, dearie. That will be all.
Dear panel members, Of course Salt cannot say something that may hurt her case, but we all want what is best for Juliette. Dear panel members, you have one question each.
( @bee-ffini @weedsomthingorother @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom)
I would like to relinquish my question, thank you.
*rholiese places a tie on her bee suit, making sure to look like the best business bee she could before being called on. She also has a briefcase ready at her side, but it is mostly empty since most of the documents she tends to keep are digitally stored on her suits overnet interface.*
<w< nice! I did have two questions, but since I can only ask one, I'll leave my question regarding the existence of pinnates for a later time.
My biggest question here is in regard to her plans post independence. The reasons for her self-imposed solitary were as follows:
1. A desire to live a quiet and slow life
2. Avoid the bustling life of this ship
3. To be separate from city life and society
4. She's an introvert.
The first two are easily accomplished without needing to travel to a separate planet. First of all, quietness can be accomplished with a hab that mutes outside noise, or even inside noise for those who are sensitive to sounds. The next two can easily be done with a proper advisory to the local population to mind their contact with her with a set schedule based on her levels of tolerance, with a preference towards one-on-ones due to how introversion is usually approached. Slow, quiet, and free from all the bustle. (OOC. I'm an introvert, btw <w<)
The third one, <w<, obviously she can not be free from the compact as a whole. And anywhere she does go, there will need to be an affini within a short distance should an emergency ever occur. Avoiding city life falls under my previous points for points one and two that a hab can be built for that specific immersive purpose.
My final point is, from what you have told me and from what I have observed of her, this seems like a rather extreme treatment for introversion that our vets haven't thrown any major warning signs about. From what my documents tell me, she seems to have regular introversion, as opposed to extreme introversion, which the requests seem to imply.
If anything, the severity of this request brings up concerns that this self isolation could be a symptom of some deeper health concerns that we would need to address, especially should it be pushed for beyond what I have stated.
To bring it back to the question I wanted to ask, considering the facts above, is there a separate reason that you wish for this solitary to take place on a separate planet? Especially with the understanding that an immersive, quiet, slow, City free, and bustle free experience can be achieved on the ship itself? @goodsamaritanspmc
It is less about the experience itself and more about the peace of mind I will get from getting to pick and choose my social interactions, to a certain extent, of course. While something like it might be achieved on the ship, I would rather have the real thing. The location I chose is half an hour on foot from a city, near a lake. An affini could arrive there in mere minutes in case of emergency, and so could I arrive there in minutes, too, should I so wish.
It does also come from a certain wish for a restoration of a type of normalcy. I wish to make no offense towards the compact, or the affini, but it does get crazy with you all. And while I sometimes appreciate it, I would also like to indulge my fantasy of a quiet house in the woods, where I am it's master, however illusionary it might be with be.
Considering the current state and damage caused by Terran Accords treatment of nature, and the steps we are still going through to reverse terraform the damage that was caused, I'm of the opinion that our Habs would be less illusionary of the "house in the woods" experience for quite some time.
>w> especially considering the recency of the human domestication treaty. I would also argue that the forest itself isn't yet fit for Terran habitation. If it was, then there would already be terrans living in it. Forests are quite natural and calming environments for Terrans with very few exceptions. <w< Back on the core world's there are many cities that are indistinguishable from natural forests since it's a common attraction of many species.
The land I have chosen used to be the site of a secluded, rather obscure resort. The conditions there are rather safe and I have already managed to obtain all the relevant documents.
I believe now is the time for me to speak. I thank everyone, and especially my warden and my therapist, for taking care to be here for me today.
I would also like to thank Rose, Nina and Eloïse for their, frankly, brutally honest opinions.
I know the board could have taken up the opinion that I would be, indeed, better off as a floret from their testimonies. Some of you even wonder why I didn't try and find more collaborative, more convenient witnesses. And my point is that every one of these sophonts, these florets, wouldn't even dignify me with claiming even a possibility of my independence just some few weeks ago. Today you hear much of them say they do believe I could be independent. Sure, they also believe I would be happier owned, but my point is one word. Change.
I have proven my capacity to change. To become better. And I strive to continue doing so, while independent, too. While having control over it. Sure, some valid points were raised about me being unsure about me sabotaging myself, but I did also seek out new experiences, ones that made me better, on my own. A TTRPG club. Cooking. Gaming. I even learned to ride a bicycle. I tried on feminine clothes by myself, if in private, in an attempt to make myself more comfortable with it.
I was a flauxret for a day, too. And I did enjoy it. Should this board find me unfit for independence, I will be saddened, but not despaired. I can see myself being happy as a floret, as abnormal of an experience as it would be for me.
But even so, I implore the board to grant me independence. Because that is my wish. Because that is my choice. And because I believe I have proven I am not the scared person you found huddled in aerogel on an overheated ship a while ago.
I want control. Because for the first time in my life I believe that I may be granted an actual, real form of control. In the care of the Affini Compact.
Thank you for hearing me out. I will now be hearing the questions from the board.
@purple-pitcher-perfect @bee-ffini @weedsomthingorother @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom
I have a question for you petal, if given the option to be a floret with independent clauses in your contract to give you more but not full independence, would you take it?

Am I allowed to ask a question of pretty much everybody? Both panel members and witnesses?
(Ooc: Of anyone who has spoken on the floor.)
Then my question is this:
Who, of everybody to have spoken, would be saddened or hurt by the loss of Julliette as a floret instead to be an independent and, to my understanding, be on a different planet relatively far away?
I would! I was really looking forward to a new sister.

Irrelevant, this hearing is about Julie and her well being, not the desires of the panelists and witnesses.
I think it's extremely relevent, how could the sophomt be happy if people miss her and are hurt by her leaving? The feelings and well being of those around the sophont have a substantial impact on the sophomts own

*the beige Armor of Salt, who was using their telescopic limbs to run forwards, was covered by a black and White Dress suit akin to that of Terran lawyers. They Held 6 briefcases Worth of papers. Once they entered the hearing's Chamber, they lowered themselves back to their two feet and begun Walking, servos whirring softly as they did. Salt would push a button on their loudspeaker, and a recorded message plays:*
Welcome everyone to @goodsamaritanspmc 's Hearing, I'll reintroduce myself as Salt, member of feralist tech support.org, and playlawyer of Juliette Frakti, who is currently a Ward of Purpurea Venosa, 3rd Bloom. Over the past two weeks, Juliette has been under the Care and surveillance of the aformentioned affini, and has Managed to fulfill all requirements for Independence, Those being, as previously stated:
Living up to the Standards of the affini compact, which includes: being able to peacefuly interact with Florets, xenosophonts and affini peacefuly, as shown During the entire recorded wardship, the Files of the audio and video recordings should be available on your datapads.
have the ability to Express desires and reach for them, as shown, for example, when Juliette searched for doll biomods that can be installed while remaining Independent, both of which are desires of her.
keeping your mind and body up to the compact's standards, as she's notably, in class-Gs, healthier, learning how to Cook, getting Hobbies, and so much more, all available on the Files, which you should have either in your datapad, or in one of the briefcases I brought over to the Table.
Confort with florthood existing, even after she attempted to dismantle the hypnotic Trigger that initialy accelerated her acceptance, and notably, not fearing becoming a Floret herself, something that while unlikely, can still Happen as an independent, See the recordings of Yesterday.
Ability to ask for help, see our Interactions throughout the negotiations for this hearing, and Juliette's relationship with her ward Purpurea.
lastly, she's Managed to become Friends with @unfunny-trans-girl , @smellsofmintleaves and @nina-predap-third-floret .
This fulfills the Bulletin list, legaly she's capable of being an independent, meaning that while this hearing will discuss If Juliette is right now better off as a floret or not, and questioning how, why or in which way she's become capable of independenship, her validity as an independent is guaranteed by the established contract, and in fact, the way this contract was written will come up later, due to a possible breach from Miss Venosa's part.
This unit's Starting arguments in favor of Juliette's Independence are the following: She's voiced multiple times the desire to live a quiet, slow life, at the planet she's noted down, which should be in the Files of your datapad, in Order to avoid the bustling life of this ship, in Others words, has a Desire for a more Solitary life, something that can't be archieved when owned by an affini due to the constant, hands-on pressence of the owner. Indeed, Juliette will come to visit, but she has an introvert Desire to rest and be somewhat separated from city Life and society.Juliette has voiced multiple times the desire of Independence simply because Independence is a goal for her, or in Other words, the knowledge of being Independent currently brings enrichment and joy to Juliette in some way, shape or Form.Lastly, Juliette still Shows heavy signs of distress at the prospect of being involuntarily domesticated, something that would require feralbreaking techniques to get through, and may ultimately drasticaly Change Juliette in ways that affect core parts of her personality, behaviour, memories and Sense of self, which, considering all of you are charmed by her as a cute, adorable sophont, I asume you'd agree that it's a more undesirable Outcome.
Thank you for your opening statement, Salt! May I add that you look particularly adorable in that get up with the oversized suitcase? Your warden must have had a great time getting you ready~
Now, would any panel members have any questions for delightful little advocate?
[The therapist raises her hand]
I’m pretty happy with Juliette all in all, but I’ve got a few worries about some of the specifics of this post hearing plan,fruity bunch~ I’ll tell you all about it when it’s my go, but ya gotta have some social contact. Whatcha planning for that?
[Salt would press another button on their loudspeaker as it raised their hand, joints rachetting softly, almost pleasantly so]
As mentioned before, Juliette already stated that they'll visit this ship quite a lot, though for more specific parts of your concern, which I'll ask about when you declare you'll statement, may be already planned for, and Juliette most likely has an answer for them (though she may ask for my help with comunicating this should she be overwhelmed, Stressed or any Other debilitating ailment ends up Happening)
Alrighty fruity pie! I’m satisfied. Anyone else got a question for the cute lil cyborg?
@weedsomthingorother @bee-ffini @wulthra-vale-3rd-bloom (OOC: Tagging just in case)
*I raise a single vine*
I have a question for you petal, what evidence is there that this change is due to the sophont and not the affini taking care of them?
You mentioned they are healthier than before, is there evidence that without the affini to take care they will continue that trend?
[Salt would pick another page, the grinding of gears within its body making a subtly pleasant Sound.]
As you can see throughout the entire recorded wardship, Purpurea Venosa, 3rd Bloom, Juliette's warden, has only acted to directly correct her behaviour 2 times, both using mild hypnosis, one of which was in fact a breach of contract, and the other was later dismantled by Juliette. This means that the Changes in behaviour, while influenced by Purpurea, were Genuine and came from Juliette.
As for the second question, considering that Juliette would Not only still Be within the compact, but also will come visit all her Friends, along with having Had a notably healthy Lifestyle in the wilds beforehand, I Believe that if left on her own, Juliette can manage to think that she'd continue this trand, and perhaps even improve on it now that she has the tools of the compact.
Will there be a system to regulate that such as wellness checks for a time or will the poor petal just be left to her own with the belief in doing well?
