Perennial Crisis, originally called ABERRANT GARDEN, is an original song by Monstrosity featuring Kagamine Rin and Len. It is part of the Vanishing World series. The story reads as follows:

-Log 45-

Year: 2000

Month: June

Day: 26

I found a strange paper at the sight of the anomaly. It appears to have what had happened here written in story form. Let me type it out here in case we lose the physical copy:

“Kaylee Tagetes always had a knack for gardening. She was really good at it. Like, REALLY good at gardening. Unnaturally so. She could bring back life to any dead plant she touched, and all the seeds she planted grew.

However, as she grew older, she became… curious about something. Almost like a mysterious force was feeding her thoughts. What was this thing she was curious about, you ask? Simple!

What if she fused this here flower with this here insect, and made a new creature? By what means? That part… shall remain a mystery. Nonetheless, she did it.

A few years passed, and now Kaylee had a gigantic garden feared by the whole neighborhood. Nobody would believe that that these plants were cognitive, and so, nothing was done about it. People just believed that the plants were decorations or animatronics, not actually akin to animals. Some kids picked on her for her weird plants, calling her various plant related names- the most common one that even Kaylee herself likes was Crazy-Head Mayzie.

It would have made even more sense, if only the others could see the flower on her head, too.

She started to get too curious. What if I fused an elephant and a tree? A field and a whale? What if I made planet Earth herself alive- and told her to swallow the people I hate?

She rose up an army, absorbing all the bugs and birds and lizards into the labyrinth of her garden before they could escape. Not even her dog, her very best friend, was safe from the experiments.

More and more they gathered up, until there came a time when she could no longer control these monsters… and it was at that moment when she was poisoned by a spider monster. Acid flowed through her veins, and caused cuts all over her body. She fell, passed out from blood loss. Probably dead.

The mysterious force, annoyed at her apparent frailness, used some of his power to revive her. ‘You have created a perfect starting army for me. But now, you are of no use. You have used it up. However- I shall tell you my name as a prize for surviving this long.’ The being appeared as a great horned monster, covered in leaves, petals, and vines, and was the size of a house. ‘My name is Carnation, the Monster of Flora. You shall hear more about me in the afterlife- your time is up.’

Before the horrified Kaylee could run, he picked her up. Into a giant maw she was dropped… no one ever saw her again as Kaylee Tagetes.”

Extremely strange. What does this mean? Is this what happened literally? Could this be the work of paranormal beings, or something else? And that ending is kinda… abrupt.

Carnation… Isn’t that the name of the plant monster from the element- apocalypse- whatever prophecy? You know the one, “In the year 2100, the apocalypses rises, fear the chrome god monsters and their trapped traitor humans”? That doesn’t make sense. Why would Carnation have woken up exactly 100 years before the others? Either way, now we at least have a clue on what happened to the poor 6th grader. I’m going to have to get a professional on that part about Carnation.

Until I get updates, I’m logging this in. Don’t want to drag it on for too long.

Lyrics
 Lilies in my dreams Talking, as it seems Reveries at the seams Follow the insect theme

It is quite divine Eyes on the top of vines It'll break a human's mind Gather 'round, fauna-flora

Add ants to make it more They're just plants, there's no gore Crawling around the floor Growing teeth just like a boar's

It is quite a sight Clawed weeds are gaining height Fight through them, though you might Gather 'round, insectivora

So One, Two, the ants go marching onwards Into a world headed towards A paradise Of green ambitious vice

Say what you will about me I can make all of them scream Were you ever taught Of things that cannot rot?

Rose thorns that burn you Never at the zoo They can crush, they can chew On that day that they will rule

They're all my design Though they're just not refined Mammals left behind The plants are my priority
