August Aftermath: Plants Solidify Sunshine

AUGUST AFTERMATH: OVERGROWTH
Who: Everyone
What: You're back, for better or worse
When: August 19th and onward
Where: The Storyteller's Temple on Ensō, and anywhere else
Warnings: Please mark as you go!
Optimism Doesn't Change the Facts

By the end of the 17th, the last of those suffering from the Overgrowth have either pulled through or succumbed entirely. For the next two days, their bodies will decompose and the flowers will feed on their remains, flourishing into bright patches of color.

If you perished and choked on your flowery words, never fear. Come the 19th, you will be stirring awake in the Storyteller's Temple. You will be experiencing a few...side effects, as it happens, while your body readjusts. It will take something like a week for those symptoms to disperse, though the Storyteller isn't around to inform you of this.

What is around? Aside from your own freshly revived selves, there are a great deal of flowers, and all of them are sickeningly familiar. Scarlet gladiolus. Blushing dog rose. Soft yellow buttercups. Garnet-colored geraniums. Dark nodules of fly orchids. Rich violets. Periwinkle hydrangeas. Peppered yellow speckles of goldenrod. Jade green zinnias. Red spears of snapdragons. Pale begonias. Pink spangles of mountain laurel.
The very flowers that killed you are now growing all over the Temple, inside and out, in rich abundance, cloying the air with their perfumed fragrance.

Don't be concerned. These ones certainly aren't going to be spreading to your flesh anytime soon.


If your character died during this event, please let us know if you have not already. Death penalties have been reduced for this event, but we still need to account for them!

(Legion was among the lucky: they confessed some secrets and avoided death.

They are uncertain of the status of others. Seeing The Knight is thus a relief, and it shows in the smooth movements of their headflaps and the way their lights remain a calm and steady blue white.

They chatter to get their attention.)

( They're starting to understand Legion a little better now; blue and white, less frantic movements, means that they're...happy? At the very least, content.

They look around at the chatter, running up to Legion to greet their friend - more energetic, now that illness has left them. Looking them over - it's good to see them without signs of sickness.

They sign, slowly.

better-now?

Yes.

You are also recovered.

(They lift their headflaps slightly, eye shining bright.)
