MINI EVENT: IN FULL BLOOM

IN FULL BLOOM( APRIL 6TH )

MINI EVENT: IN FULL BLOOM

It's unlikely you see the catalyst of this event, or at least understand it. The entirety of Asgard can be, and frequently is tied to the Gods that protect it and what they have dominion over. The latent curses that Wanderers have sprung upon them are intangible proof, but when it comes to a God like Sigyn...her ties to the world are much more visible, apparent.

She's holed herself up in her district, tending to the earth with her hands and tools, like a human would. It distracts her, makes it easier to force her mind to feel things it isn't otherwise. Most Gods would know this comes with side effects; if snapped out of the state, she would as well. Right now, it's not so pressing a matter.

Her emotional unsteadiness doesn't come out as ugly or marred as one might imagine -- no, if you're standing outside when the magic takes effect, you'll be surprised to see large clumps of flowers curling up from the earth and blooming blossoms larger than they should be almost immediately after coming into complete existence. Some locations for these plants make no sense, taking root anywhere they please. Maybe in a patch of soil, or maybe on the side of a wall. Your roof, your bathtub, the very sleeve of your shirt.

Their sudden appearance may cause you alarm, enough to stay away on instinct. It's likely for naught, with just how plentiful they are. Smelling their aroma or coming into contact with their pollen is basically an inevitability. And when you do...something strange will happen.

  • ASPHODEL → This flower will cause the feeling of soul-crushing regret and guilt. What's the one thing that you regret the most? The one thing you would change if you could turn back time? It's time to have that thrown back in your face for the next twelve hours, assuming you're not exposed to this pollen again. In the case that there is no big thing that you regret or feel guilty about, it'll be some small minor thing that has been exacerbated in your mind by the pollen to the point that it is now a big deal as well.

  • CARNATION → After coming into contact with this flower, you feel a pull of absolutely clinginess that draws you towards someone you have some degree of fondness for, be it romantic or platonic in nature. There's this niggling feeling that won't stop pestering you, that you simply have to be in close proximity to this person. Hovering, observing, touching. Once you are? The feeling goes away. This magic tether lasts throughout the day, despite how your target may feel about it. If for some reason you can't be near this person, like they force you away by some magical means, your desperation strengthens as the proximity remains broken.

  • EDELWEISS → This one will cause you to become extremely reckless. It goes beyond developing or exacerbating a hero complex. It's like experiencing l'appel du vide for twelve hours and actually listening to it. You won't be very susceptible to reason without some magic to put a stop to you, and your sense of consequence? Completely out the window.

  • POPPY → Upon close contact with these flowers, you experience mild to severe synesthesia for anywhere from ten minutes to a couple of hours. Your senses mingle. You smell colours, see sounds. It often comes with a very mild sense of euphoria, but some find it disorienting instead.

  • GENTANIA → When's the last time you had a good night's sleep? A few days? Weeks? Prior to ever showing up here? Here, let's help with that. The pollen from Gentania andrewsii, commonly known as a closed or bottle gentian, will instantly put anyone who comes in contact with it to sleep. It doesn't matter if they're sitting, standing, driving or swimming. They will fall into a deep sleep, varying anywhere from six to twelve hours. For the duration of that time, they will experience vivid nightmares, and will only awaken after experiencing sleep paralysis.

  • IRIS → Apparently you're allergic to this flower. Don't worry, everyone else is too. Contact with this pollen causes a painful burning sensation. Don't scratch or rub at it, because that'll only cause it to spread. Washing the afflicted area or applying any sort of ointment or balm won't help. Tough it out. It'll only last a couple of hours.


The flowers definitely overstay their welcome, as does their magic. The blooms themselves will fall off and uproot themselves from their unnatural settings after about a week. The magic? It sticks with the plants for a whole day. The curse you're hit with might not last as long, but this means being careful: there's always the chance of being afflicted again. Maybe with two curses at once!

How will you know the curse is over? Maybe if you can put two and two together, you'll wake up in the morning and notice stepping outside doesn't...smell the way it usually does. The grass, any stray flowers, trees. None of them have any whiff of a scent.


MOD NOTES

This is the April mini-event before our bigger event later in the month!

Note that you can stack flower curse effects except for the Gentania curse that puts someone to sleep.

[ Roused from her distraction by Terezi's investigation, Naminé very nearly let the leaf she was picking apart go as her attention shifted. Brightening at the sight of her moirail, the blonde only barely took the time to plant a hand on the nearest branch before leaning down to call back an, ]

Of course...! Why wouldn't I be?

[ Which was weird, honestly, because she'd normally seem at least a little nervous about being so far away from the ground. Entirely too cheerfully, she gave a huff of a laugh with her admission of, ]

Well, I'm not. But I've always wanted to try it.

[ And clearly she saw no problem with attempting it completely at random and without supervision. Or... common sense about where to stop. ]
mindseer: (White Eye (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-04-12 06:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Hmmmm.... yeah, it was definitely weird, but she didn't look like she was in danger right now. She wasn't almost falling or anything, was she? So, as long as she was safe, it wasn't a big deal. In fact...]

Hey, you want me to join you up there?

[She might have already been starting to climb up the tree trunk as she said that. Naminé didn't get to have all the fun!]
lethechained: (Flower vase :o)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-13 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ It was true that there was no immediate danger - supposing of course that Naminé didn't shift around too much, or otherwise cause herself to slip. There was no denying, however, that something about her was... off. In a positive way, perhaps, for the present moment; she seemed in an uncharacteristically good mood. It didn't even require any consideration for her to call back a, ]

Sure! Come on up...!

[ already angling herself more toward where Terezi had elected to start climbing so as to watch with far less worry than might otherwise have been involved. ]
mindseer: (Blindfold (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-04-14 04:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[Where others might have been worried, and she was cautious about this to be sure, Terezi was inclined to think that this wasn't entirely bad. As long as Naminé didn't get herself too far out on a branch, this could be good.

So, she was scrambling up carefully, hand over hand with all the skills of someone that used to live in a tree.]


I told you I used to live in a treehive, right?
lethechained: (Rumpled)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-16 05:17 am (UTC)(link)
[ Naminé tipped forward slightly to watch the other girl, hands mercifully planted now that the blonde had forgotten all about the leaves she was previously playing with. She even gave an impressed 'ooh' at how easily the troll made her way up. ]

Of course...! I remember.

[ One would think that it was a pleasant memory, going by the idle, happy little drift of Naminé's legs. }

You said you wanted to build one here in Asgard, too, and paint it all sorts of colors.

[ Which would surely have required some tree-climbing skills, so it was just as well. ]

Mm... but I'm not sure if this tree's big enough.

[ She could hardly claim to know, herself. ]

mindseer: (White Eye (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-04-17 12:45 am (UTC)(link)
I was definitely thinking of it, but you're not wrong. Gotta have a much larger tree for this sort of thing. Hehehe, I'd love having one way up here so I could look out over everyone else.

Maybe at the edge of the park?

[Oh yes, this was a nice memory. And the thought of making one up here was a good thing. Besides, it would be a chance for Naminé to come visit, wouldn't it? She grinned as she started to get up and closer.]

You'll visit once I do it, won't you?
lethechained: (Partners in Crime)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-18 05:57 am (UTC)(link)
[ Naminé upturned a hand, ready and waiting to offer it to help Terezi the last of the way up if she decided to occupy a nearby space. ]

Of course...! [ the blonde laughed with soft warmth, as though it really was a given and questioning it was tomfoolery. Smiling broadly, she tilted her head with her, ] I'll even help you decorate it, if you want me to.

[ That much she would have said regardless of the flower's influence. But it really did make her... calmer, happier, not to have part of her mind always occupied with the what-ifs and responsibilities. ]
mindseer: (Blindfold (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-04-23 11:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[She crawled and climbed her way up just where her friend was, taking the hand that was offered and smiling over at Naminé when she got in close to her, holding onto the trunk until she was straddling a tree branch.]

I'd like it if you helped me decorate. It'd give you even more reason to come by all the time, wouldn't it?

[Nope, not worrying about the situation at all. This was cool.]

I could make a second bedroom if you wanted to make it your hive too!
lethechained: (Olderne! Curly hair <:)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-25 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Naminé's grip was as gentle as ever, and yet it was firmer than usual, more sure, and she didn't shy away from providing as much support as she could while her other hand held tight to the branches. Once Terezi was settled, ]

As if I didn't have enough of those...! [ Reasons to visit, that was, and she said it brightly, pleasantly. ] We need to draw together again soon, anyway.

[ She was still the same Naminé, however, and that suggestion was enough to trigger some bashful surprise in her, her mouth rounding. ]

Really? You'd go to all that trouble--?
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Smug))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-04-27 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
It wouldn't be trouble at all, Naminé. It'd be my pleasure to add just a little more space so we could live together. Honestly, it'd give me an excus to actually do it finally. Stop talking about it and make a home we could stay in.

... It's weird...but making a home, it'd feel like I was really planning to stay here, wouldn't it?
lethechained: (Flower vase :o)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-28 05:28 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her eyes grew far off for a moment, likely indicating she was picturing it. Eyelids fluttering, she came back to the present after Terezi spoke again. ]

It would, [ Naminé confirmed. ] I guess in the end it's still never our decision if we leave, but... having a home might make being here feel different, if you let it.

[ Different for one's own feelings, anyway. While they were still on the subject, Naminé paused a beat. Then, ]

You know -- it's funny. Usually I'm afraid of being up so high, but right now I can't remember why.
mindseer: (White Eye (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-04-28 06:36 pm (UTC)(link)
I'll betcha that it might not be a bad idea to make sure your room is on the lower floor. Just cause. Never know if it's just this tree that you feel safe in do we?

[She snickered. There were other possibilities. It might have been a weird curse thing, after all, and she wan't putting that past this place, but for the moment she wasn't going to look the gift hoofbeast in the mouth too far.]

Yeah, I don't control it, but I figure I've been here almost one of those human mini-sweeps, so I might as well make the most of it, right?
lethechained: (Partners in Crime)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-30 02:42 am (UTC)(link)
Hee…! Maybe. I guess we'll just have to find out later on. I'm not sure what it is about today, but I feel... different.

[ So it's not like she'd be able to make reasoned decisions about that right now, anyway. Might want to check if she can stand being in a treehouse at all before she decides to start sleeping there. In any case, ]

Has it been that long...? [ Her mind wanders a moment, a hint of awe sneaking into her expression. ] And we've known each other almost that whole time, haven't we?

[ That's quite a proportion of her life, honestly, considering how brief her existence before Asgard actually was. ]
mindseer: (White Eye (Talk))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-02 09:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Different good, I hope?

[Yeah. the confidence was strange to see in Naminé. Terezi would keep it in mind, but if it proved harmless, then that was all there was to it. No need to worry unless something happened that demanded worry, after all.]

It has. It's weird to imagine, but we're getting close to an anniversary of sort... haha. Maybe you and I should do something fun for that. Humans like those sorts of things, don't they?
lethechained: (That's the best smile you've got Namine?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-03 11:59 pm (UTC)(link)
It seems good to me. [ The fact that it took her so little thought to say as much was probably an indication on its own that something was off. ] I can't remember the last time I felt so relaxed.

[ Never, actually, was the last time. Humming at the suggestion, ]

They do - I think. Like how they celebrate birthdays, and holidays.... [ That was enough evidence for her, anyway. ] It'd be fun. But-- what would we do?
Edited 2020-05-03 23:59 (UTC)
mindseer: (White Eye (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-05 08:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Then it's good. relaxed is something I don't think we get to pull off enough around here, hehe.

[She rested up against the trunk of the tree at ease with herself. Being up this high never really bothered her. But having been blind for years definitely helped. Couldn't be afraid of heights if you couldn't see them.]

Hmmmm. Now there's a question. What might you like to do. Ya know, as a special occasion?
lethechained: (Sketchy looking up)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-07 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I guess that's true.

[ Serene, she tilted her head, watching Terezi settle. In this case, at least, there really was a positive outcome of the magical shenanigans. ]

I have no idea. [ She admitted as much freely enough, looking only a little bashful. ] I've never really had anything to celebrate before.

[ And there was only so much information she'd gotten secondhand on the subject. Humming, she gave her legs a slow, thoughtful kick. ]

There's always... ice cream. But we could have that any day...!
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Smug))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-08 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
You know, we can do pretty much any of the same things here while we're here... so I think the trick might be less doing something special and more making something we do special. Does... that make any sense at all?

[Cause right now it was making sense in her head. Ice cream could be great if it was special ice cream!]
lethechained: (Oh :O ?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-10 04:46 am (UTC)(link)
Ah - you're right about that, too.

[ Looking at the other girl sidelong, Naminé tilted her head a little further. Fortunately, the flower didn't take away her whole capacity to understand abstract concepts. ]

Sure, that makes sense. It's not what you do, but who you do it with, and why... right?
mindseer: (White Eye (Talk))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-12 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, pretty much. You can make almost anything in all the world 'work.' It isn't about making it work, it' about doing what you want with it.

And I like to think you and I are figuring out how to make lemons into lemonade here. [Hey, she stuck to human words for that one. Improvement!]
lethechained: (you do realize I can replace your brain)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-14 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Some of them might be tougher than others, [ she commented smilingly, though it didn't suggest any real tendency on her part to disagree. With a soft, amused hum, ]

Would that make ice cream the lemon, or the lemonade?
mindseer: (White Eye (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-15 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes, but I like a challenge.

[She laughed a little at the question, thought about it for just a second and then bobbed her head vigorously.]

The lemonade, definitely the lemonade. That's a prize right there.
lethechained: (That's the best smile you've got Namine?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-16 06:21 am (UTC)(link)
Well, that's definitely true.

[ Naminé giggled along with her, hidden behind a curled hand as usual. ]

If we're feeling daring, we can even try making lemonade ice cream...!
mindseer: (White Eye (Shock))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-19 10:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Wait... lemonade... ice cream?

[Give her a second Naminé. Her brain's restarting. She's considering it... thinking... ding! Reboot complete.]

That's brilliant! We absolutely have to do this!
lethechained: (haha...!)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-21 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ Brows raising and mouth a-smile, she waited patiently for that reboot, looking momentarily confused and then thereafter quite entertained. ]

Why not? There are all kinds of ice cream, so lemonade could be one of them.

[ That was just one of the obvious truths of the universe, clearly. ]

Even if we can't figure it out, it'll still be fun to try...!
