February 2nd
"Earth preserves all the scars left by time."

That's what my old teacher used to say back when I was studying at the Kale University 2 years ago. I was part of some expeditions after that, but today's my first dsy going on an expedition of my own, without anybody else.

Who am I? I'm Macalister Smartichoke, graduated in Natural History and Anthropology and currently 21 years old. I'm driving my way to an ancient ruin somewhere at the United States. I know this will be a perilous journey, but I will be known forever if I reveal ancient secrets to the world. I can even imagine: interviews, museum exhibits, riches...

Eh... what am I writing? Crud, I forgot to bring an eraser... By the way I hope I can find at least an artifact or two.

I ended up coming across what seems to be a war zone. Lots of holes on the ground and corpses of Plants and Zombies decorate the landscape and I don't like this... Fortunately, I just spotted a military camp with a leaf symbol. Inside it, I see a terribly wounded Lily of the Valley being treated by a Chomper and observed by a Laser Bean. I slowly get in, but they end up pointing guns at me before noticing I'm a plant. Then, they lay the weapons down.

The Chomper continues to treat the Lily of The Valley for a few minutes, until the plant is fully healed. The doctor sits down to rest near me and the Laser Bean. I introduce myself and tell them I need supplies or at least a place where I can get them. They tell me that they don't know any place where I can get some.

I have a talk to them for some minutes and they start to trust me, at least enough to tell me their names. The doctor is called Bitey and the other one is called Egbert, Captain Egbert Beansworth. I thank them for the information and leave.

Phew... another day eating nothing but bread crumbs... Well, I guess I stil could make some friends.

I'm hungry, but still motivated to continue.

I finally reach the ruins, they look like an abandoned native american village. I walk around the place, study the terrain and look inside the tents. I saw some curious artifacts, but I'm pretty sure someone else already studied them...

I walk around one of the tents again, looking for hidden details. I'm pretty sure I wi-

Crud, I ended up breaking a piece of pottery on the floor. What a shame...

Wait...

I see something moving on the place where the pottery was. Wiyh the help of a brush, I take out the dusy and debris to study the thing. They are... living brambles? Did they plan to make barriers using thorny plants? I must register this, then I shall sleep.

Entry 001: Bramble Barrier
A round hole on the ground, with a layer of dirt on the walls. Such structure serves as a support for thorny brambles and is large enough to fit a Wall-Nut inside. Seems to be designed for defensive purposes.
