Rootstock

Cornelius’ plant shop has been struggling ever since the neighborhood became a gentrified millennial haven of hipster coffee shops and whimsical book stores. The delicate daisies and classic cacti just aren’t cutting it, and sales are dangerously low.

But all that is about to change. As Cornelius cleans out the old store room, he finds a mysterious book with an occult symbol on it. Upon opening it, Cornelius discovers recipes for breeding mutated pants! Things are a bit tricky at first, but Cornelius is undaunted. This is just the miraculous breakthrough that Cornelius needs to reinvigorate his plant shop and earn enough money to keep the lights on!
