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!

[That makes two of him. He's too worn out to be panicky for more than a few moments.]

Are they around here someplace?
prettypurpleparlor: I have within my pantry (Table ready)

Not that I've seen, but I left them some food in case they stop by in the flesh.

[Priorities: Muffet has them.]
vagabone: (easy grin)

[He gives her half a grin, which is better than no grin at all. Her pile of food seems enormous to him. It was silly of him to worry about anyone going hungry with her around, honestly.]

How much is 'some' food to you, arañita?
prettypurpleparlor: A subtle web (I'm sure you're very welcome)

[personal profile] prettypurpleparlor 2018-09-11 09:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, just a bit of this and that...

[She smiles playfully, if faintly. It's better to have too much than not enough, right?]
