"So, um... good night, Oliver?"

"Goodnight, Emily.  May Yoba observe you and choose your dreams."

Emily grins at him and sets off back toward town.

It has been a long day, including the bus ride.  Before he goes into the cabin and the lone bed, he will see if there is any simple act of farming he can perform around this farm.  Could be as simple as picking up a liftable-sized stone and carrying it off the field.  Or picking up a hoe, and using it to pry a weed out of the field, as one presumably does with hoes.

If Oliver wants to break up some stones he should obviously use his pickaxe.

If he wants to clear a patch of weeds, well, that's what his scythe is for.

Does he in fact have either of those things.

Of course! Grandpa didn't want you do this with your bare hands! Also that's not even possible!

In addition to the pickaxe and scythe, you also have:

 - a hoe for tilling soil and general digging in dirt

 - an axe for chopping trees and stumps

 - a watering can for... you can probably figure that one out on your own

Like, in the cabin, as Oliver is just now remembering?  Or leaning up against the side of the cabin, and Oliver is just now noticing?

In your backpack!

HOW IS THERE A SCYTHE IN HIS 'BACKPACK'

ALSO WHAT EXACTLY IS THE INTROSPECTIVE SENSATION OF OLIVER SUDDENLY KNOWING THIS FACT

This is the sensation of having always known a thing!

For the last few hours anyway!

IF OLIVER HAD SPENT THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS KNOWING THERE WAS A SCYTHE IN HIS BACKPACK OLIVER THINKS HE WOULD HAVE NOTICED

AND YET

Oliver will see if he knows how to use a scythe to clear a patch of weeds.

And whether it leaves roots behind, as any sensible person might've expected, in another world that may be entirely lost to him.

Assuming Oliver was standing fairly close to the patch of weeds, and formed the intention to use the scythe that was already in his backpack, then yes, it works!

The patch of dirt is now completely pure, pristine, clean dirt. But it's, like, crusty dirt.

Does Oliver remember... swinging the scythe.

Yes? Obviously? What kind of a world do you think this is?

Did he swing the scythe with his hands.

Did it move in an arc through the air.

Did he take it out of his backpack, and put it back into his backpack afterwards, and stare at this process to see how Space seemed to be putting up with it.

Yes, with his hands. Yes, in an arc.

He did take it out of the backpack, but that part happened really fast. Space did not raise any particular complaints that Oliver noticed.

If Oliver has not since formed the intention to use a different object, then the scythe is still in his hands.

Can he put the scythe back into the backpack?  If so, Oliver will be watching this process closely to see how Space behaves.

Sure!

Oliver... puts the scythe back into the backpack.

Space is on its best behavior the whole time.
