Welcome to Plum Landing.
"The Brick-Eating Ivy Mystery."
Whoa!
[laughing]
- Huh? - Huh?
I thought Plum was sending us to the city.
Yeah, what's the deal with all these trees?
[birds chirping]
Hey, Plum, you made a mistake.
We're in like a forest or something.
Au contraire!
You are in a park in the center of the city.
I'll show you the map.
That blob of green is the park,
and those blinking lights are you.
Cool.
So what do you want us to investigate?
Well, it's the Blorbians.
They're seriously concerned.
I'll patch you in so you can see for yourself.
They've been watching one of your earthling movies.
- "att*ck of the k*ller Ivy!"
- Savage, ruthless.
Ivy will destroy us all.
[screaming]
[belches]
[laughs]
That was awesome!
So, what I want you to do is reassure the Blorbians
that ivy can't do that.
Or can it?
We're on it, Plum.
As soon as we find something, we'll let you know.
Talk to you soon!
Find ivy-covered building.
And start.
[beeping]
[rapid beeping]
Found it!
Thanks, Plank.
How dangerous is this?
Should we be wearing space suits?
[laughs]
Relax, Olly.
It's not going to eat you.
I wouldn't be so sure.
Observation number one:
this looks just like the ivy in the movie.
Only it's not eating the building.
Not yet.
Look at this!
The roots are destroying the grout.
And look how wet it is under the leaves.
Water might be good for ivy, but not for brick.
Ah, what was that?!
It's a bird.
I can see its nest.
[gasps]: Two nests!
Also a spider.
Some crickets.
[crickets chirping]
[gasps] A cute little mouse!
Such a good hiding place.
You'd never think there were animals in there.
What's all the white stuff on the ground?
Bird poop, ew!
But it's probably fertilizing the ivy.
So the ivy hides the birds, and the birds feed the ivy.
Sweet!
Hey, you think if we wait, it'll start eating the building?
Let's try the time speeder.
Let's fast-forward years?
Woo-hoo!
Yes!
Poor little building.
Well, I am much relieved.
So it's not like ivy is going to destroy a building
in front of you.
But if the building is neglected for many years
and the ivy takes over
Smash, boom!
Death to the building.
Are you telling the Blorbians?
Let me do it.
- Fellow Blorbians, greetings!
May I introduce you to Gabby!
- Hi, everyone!
She's an earthling, and so am I.
And we're here to tell you
that what you saw in the movie isn't true.
Ivy can destroy a building, but slowly, and only if you let it.
Slowly, as in years.
So not to worry, Blorbians, earth is safe from ivy.
