Becky and Liv stumble on a room of exotic plants

"Come, on, today, please!" Liv muttered as Becky finally got the lock to click, popping open the door to yet another storage room.

"I'm sorry, it was a complicated lock. Look, we're not exactly breaking into the local bakery, you know? This is some very advanced... stuff." Becky's words fell short as she saw the contents of the room.

A magically created artificial sun floated just under the ceiling of the relatively spacious storage closet, shooting out beams of nourishment to what otherwise would have been a very drab stone room. While the fairly impressive magical sun artifact held Liv's attention, Becky was immediately drawn away to what the sunlight was shining on.

Plants. Flowers, vines, grasses, the rarest of the rare, things the likes of which she had only ever dreamed of seeing. They were the sorts of botanical rarities that alchemists would spend fortunes traveling just to get a chance to hunt for them, and here was a whole room, chock full of them, ripe for the picking.

"Damn, another bust" Liv said, already turning to leave the room, but she stopped when she saw Becky glued to the spot. Almost seeming to forget about her friend, the thin blonde girl produced a set of vials and small scissors from somewhere hidden on her person. She had held back in the garden, but this time with no one around and a cornucopia of alchemical delights at her disposal, Becky simply lacked the restraint to close the door and move on.
