[Connor knows what it is immediately, the first cough wracking his body and drawing concern from the dragon that doesn’t really fit in his house anymore but refuses to stay outside.
He also knows he could fix it, if he wanted to, because he was the one who figured out how it worked in the first place. That sounds simpler than the reality of the situation, though, which is that not a lot has changed since the last time he had Overgrowth. Someone going to try, though, and he's going to pretend he doesn't know what they're talking about.
The natural thing to do in this situation is, of course, to make a flyer. There’s one for the temple and one for the Denny. Connor himself can generally be found at the Denny, drinking something he refuses to share. It’s fine. He’s fine. Everything is fine.
Of course, the dragon thing looks like an empty threat given that there are no dragons visible in the direct vicinity. Feel free to actually attempt confessional with him or, you know. Take up his offer of just sitting there in silence and being a nihilist.]

[By the third time a Ghost Shark tries to kill him while he’s pretending like he's trying not to die from flowers, he fucking gives up the ghost (pun intended) and goes to the desert of Monsun. If he’s going to die, he might as well be free from his own brain weasels while it happens.
The dragon usually walking beside him makes him seem a lot more unapproachable, but his Overgrowth is on full display at this point. Anyone who’s met him for five minutes is probably unsurprised by this, and attempts to coax him into curing it will be expertly evaded. Or have a dragon set on them, he wasn’t joking about that.
For anyone who’s ever been to his house and met his corpse, however, you might find the fact that the flowers this time are different interesting. Turns out he doesn’t have Aquifoliaceae this time. This time, they look like . . . daisies? His lower left arm is where most of the blooms are concentrated, mostly white with a few pink scattered throughout.
Oh, also he made himself a flower crown out of them that the dragon hovering around him is wearing. He gives absolutely no fucks about this. Overgrowth is barely in the top 10 worst things that have happened to him since he got here.]
There's a wall of fire in the Monsun desert and a dragon circling overhead. You'll have to dodge the dragon first to do anything about the fire, which is more of a ring upon closer inspection, and contains (1) person. Zombie. Whatever. The problem with that zombie, right, is that unfortunately Connor’s like. Actually fairly strong to begin with. He’s almost deceptively strong now, given that he regularly just swims for fun but still looks like a noodle.
So anyway you probably should have left the fire alone.]
