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!

My Mira hardly ever told me anything personal... in the long run, now that I realize it, she was more of a stranger than I wanted to admit at the time. Probably why it was so easy to cut her out of my life after she got married... though I did see her again, and she's been taking care of my pets for me since I guess my parents didn't want to.

[She fidgets, not sure what else to say on that.]

Do... you know what's wrong with our world? Because I found out.

Who did she marry?

[ It's the only question she has. Because her falling for anyone but Nari is... well, not impossible, but. ]

... No. I never learned.

Aiden Rowen. Your favorite author and my best friend. I introduced you two.

[She remembers the look on Mira's face when the two of them met. It was sweet but painful.]

... there's something wrong with our world. People with abilities? They're automatically hated. The world is poisoned in such a way that we will never live in peace there with the normies. Those without powers. [She sighs and peeks into her shirt to make sure the pigeon was still asleep.] I told my Ardyn, not the one here, I would do anything to save it. I just haven't figured out how.

[ Ah. ]

In my world, Aiden is very happily with my brother, Noah.

[ ...... ]

I see.

[ She isn't sure how to feel about that!! Because she cannot feel a fucking thing. Wow. ]
everylittlesecret: (♩ We both know)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-08-22 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
... Noah? [Well, that's a huge difference.] That's not your brother's name where I'm from...

[She shrugs, looking at the sky with a hard to read expression. She wasn't feeling much of anything, either.]

If I can't fix it, I'll let Kip go ahead and take it over. Or destroy it. I'm going to Remnant with Pyrrha anyways.

... How do you plan on fixing it? I doubt anyone can.
everylittlesecret: (♪ We both know)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-09-01 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Well, before getting stuck here, I was looking at things while traveling around with Pyrrha. To see if any other world had anything like this. The Ardyn I knew had a slight clue as to what maybe to do, but the Ardyn here is a dick. Still love'im though.

[ ...... ]

He has a lot of rage and hatred inside of him. [ She frowns. ] We explored a while back, together. He gave me a migraine for days.

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-09-01 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
I met him when he literally thought he was two-thousand years younger. I know more about him than anyone here does, and he hates that.

.... What?
everylittlesecret: (♪ You wanna know what I really believe)

[personal profile] everylittlesecret 2018-09-01 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
...... This might take a while to explain. [And indeed it does. A day at least.]
