My backyard is covered in mint.

....

[janee]

How do I get rid of it? It wasn't there yesterday!

[running_fromthe_past]

It's mint. We can't get rid of it.

Although ...I guess we could cut it and hang it to dry so we have tea leaves all winter...

[janee]

...so my hot tub will be in a yard full of mint?

Will you help me with the cutting and drying?

[running_fromthe_past]

Afraid so. But at least it'll smell really nice?

If you share your leaves I'll help. [Not that she needs them... she has quite the mint patch herself...]

[janee]

You can have as many leaves as you would like... my yard is literally full of it.

[running_fromthe_past]

This is so weird, Janie. Mint grows fast but it shouldn't have filled up your yard overnight.

[the_nightmare]

You're fortunate.

[janee]

...I tried to speed up the grass, but nothing happened. This morning mint was everywhere. I didn't plant it

[running_fromthe_past]

Maybe you sped up the Mint instead of the grass? It... might have creeped from my garden somehow?

[janee]

I am?

[the_nightmare]

Mint is a powerful plant.

[janee]

It- oh. You gave me mint. Thanks? I could have done without it.

[janee]

Would you like some?

[running_fromthe_past]

I didn't give you mint. You sped it up so we didn't have time to stop it from invading your yard. Maybe. There's no actual proof this is my fault.

[janee]

All I wanted was grass. I didn't know about the mint.

It was an accidental invasion

[the_nightmare]

I am in no position to pay for such a thing.

[running_fromthe_past]

Well, if it came from my garden, I'm sorry. But this is prettymuch your own fault.

Lets get some scissors and see what we can do about clearing some of it out.

[janee]

...I don't want payment. It's just mint.

[janee]

I won't speed up the grass again, and I'm sorry to blame you for the mint.

[running_fromthe_past]

It's weird though... how would you have missed the grass completely and gotten the mint from my garden into your yard?

[the_nightmare]

Why would you give it away? It is valuable.

[janee]

I have no idea. The yard was bare before I started.

[She hands Anna a pair of shears]

Lets get started...

[running_fromthe_past]

You know even if we cut the leave off, the roots are still in the ground, right? It's going to grow back eventually...

[She's cutting though until she stops, mildly horrified]

Um.. Janie...

[janee]

What about a favor?
