(@NERD, maybe he could use a sort of acid to soften the stone first? Macha has no nerves on certain parts of her body. I literally have 0 ideas for what it should be, though)

Macha heard a rustling coming from Blake's room. "I think he's awake.", she said. "Wanna go in?"

Blake flinched back in fear as he heard the knocking, but tried to steel his nerves. He crouched down in case he needed to attack. Blake's hand automatically reached for his gun, only for him to remember it was taken away. He waited in silence, his palms starting to sweat.

I found an article on softening stone

This is somewhat a revival of an older thread The plant that softens stone which discusses how the Inca and several other civilizations used an unknown plant to soften stone to their needs. It is discussed that a bird rubbed a 'red leaf/berry' onto stone to soften it and create holes for their nests. Learning from that, people used the plant to soften and modify stone such as the Incan structures.

Later it was discussed that Catholic Priest Jorge A. Lira, an expert in Andean folklore, rediscovered the ancient method of softening stone but was unsuccessful as re-hardening it. The actual name of the plant used by him he called 'jatcha' which is inconclusive and almost impossible to classify. However, after some time of research I have found the plant used by Jorge A. Lira. I have sadly lost the source of this information but found that what he called 'jotcha' is a plant referred to as Pingo Pingo.

Pingo Pingo (Ephedra andina) is a plant native to the Andes Mountains which grows small red or white fruits. Ephedra distachya is also a close relative to the plant. I'm sure if you search for the connection between the plant and Jorge A. Lira you will find it.

There may be more ingredients for the final product as mentioned here

Stone softening in South America would be achieved by combining the extract of several rare plants that have natural acidic qualities, the Pito or Pitu, the Kechuca and a possible third plant known as Punco-Punco. The exact process and quantities used are still a mystery. Scientists have been able to partially reproduce the method of dissolving the stone but are unable to reform the slurry back to original hardness and name Acetic acid, Oxalic acid and Citric acid as being the main constituents. The Egyptians have also been mentioned as to having been able to dissolve the Limestone used in the Pyramids construction completely, then reform this into concrete like blocks. Additives such as kaolin (clay), salt and lime make the finished product and it still very much appears to be natural Limestone, but unlike any other Limestone known. Only under electron microscope can this be determined.

Dani leaned her head on the door. "Blake it's us."

This is so useful! Thanks for putting the time and effort into this!

ok

Blake could feel his heart pounding as he heard Dani's voice. He was certain there was someone else there. Someone that's not Macha. His feathers were bristling with alarm and uncertainty. Blake bit back a reply and stayed silent, his fear getting the better of him.

Does anyone else kind of picture Josh as a ramen superhero who shows up when you're sad and offers you ramen? I dunno, it's just me…

Take it, it's free of charge. (Because I made up the headcanon and it's not particularly part of the story, so…….You can have it!)

Oh My Glob

Words can't even express how much I love your Josh drawing.

(@NERD blushes Aww, thanks. It's nothing, really. ^u^

@TiredOtter Thanks!! XD I'm sure you have other talents that are great, though. Not everyone is an artist. XD)
