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.

Mm, [ she confirms, looking as though she takes some mild amusement from his obliviousness. Her eyebrows scrunch at him but her mouth is upturned. ]

You're much... closer, than usual.

[ And trying to explain it to him takes up enough of her consideration to leave her hand to its original purpose. Her fingers poke gently at one of the farthest out portions of his hair, and between that and the way he's holding her, they do look awfully cozy for a pair of friends. If anyone prone to gossip happens by, they might really be in trouble. ]

Although - I suppose you're always pretty friendly.
keybearing: (Will I meet you again)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-04-24 02:33 am (UTC)(link)
Closer? Eheh. Yeah. I guess I am.

[Friendly. He's never been one to shy away from hugs or such at least. With his friends. So somehow he doesn't think much if anything of this. He was just helping her down, making sure she didn't fall, right? And.....well. It was nice? He liked being close to her like this.]

Maybe next time it might be easier to climb with me. Or....like, a playground. They've usually got mats or softer areas underneath in case you fall.

[Not. That he's sure this place has a playground like he probably imagines like back home, but still. He doesn't resist or protest when she touches his hair, just closing one eye at it.]

You okay?
lethechained: (Rumpled)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-25 05:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ In her present state of mind, it's not so hard for her to shrug off the nearness, since he's shrugging it off to start with. Or rather, his other words catch her interest sufficiently to make her overlook his odd behavior. ]

Oh! You mean like what they have in the gym? [ She looks genuinely excited about the prospect, now that it's occurred to her. ] Those seemed so fun...! But I was scared to try it back then, because-- [ She falters, as if she has trouble remembering quite why one ought to be afraid of such things. ] -- Mm, it doesn't matter. I'm sure it'll be fine if we go together...!

[ And around then is when she realizes he's giving her an uneven expression, which causes her to pause. Not to, you know, actually let go of the spike she's just closed her fingers around, but she does at least still enough to give him a puzzled stare in return. ]

… Yes? I didn't fall, or anything.

[ Clearly that's the only possible reason she could have for potentially being not-okay. ]
keybearing: (But does that mean I have to walk on wat)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-04-26 11:50 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. Something like that. It's safer, since it stops you getting hurt -- or, as hurt at least, if you fall.

[Sora tilts his head then when she mentions being scared. What did she have to be scared of when he was there? If he was with her, he'd make sure she was safe. That there was nothing for her to fear. Sora doesn't seem to comment on her fascination with his hair, but does give a nod of agreement.]

You did great.

[No. Even him acknowledging that still doesn't mean he releases her yet. At least, not unless she indicates it is that unwelcome, or she wants to go somewhere or something.]
lethechained: (That's the best smile you've got Namine?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-27 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
[ As he tilts his head she relinquishes her hold on his hair, curiosity satisfied. Her hand falls, landing on his shoulder. It might also be that she's found something else that interests her more, because her expression brightens quickly. ]

Only because you helped, [ she admits, but that thought only lasts a moment. Straightening, ]

If you don't mind helping a little more - we could go the gym now...?

[ Her eagerness softens slightly. ]

Unless you're too busy, that is.
keybearing: (But does that mean I have to walk on wat)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-04-28 08:33 am (UTC)(link)
N-no, it's fine. We can go to the gym if you want. I can show you.

[Sora gives a nod of agreement, and shifts in then just reaching for her hand to lead the way. Which is at least less restricting and clingy than him holding her like that around the waist? He starts walking, leading her along before.....he pauses. As if considering.]

You mean the coliseum, right? I mean, I guess that's kind of the closest I can think of to a gym?
lethechained: (haha...!)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-04-29 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
[ The girl's smile warms, grateful despite how she doesn't say as much. Her hand falls from his shoulder once he lets go of her, only to be clasped by his. Though she gives a small, almost-startled blink, she seems more pleased than anything else, her fingers sliding easily into place as they settle together with his. Easily she follows along as he leads, only pausing when he does. ]

Yes, that's the one...! That place inside of it is called a gym, isn't it?

[ She's a bit iffy on the terminology, really, since those types of locations haven't been a big part of her life. ]
Edited 2020-04-29 17:35 (UTC)
keybearing: (Hmph)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-04-30 08:08 am (UTC)(link)
It's the closest thing here I can think of to a gym at least?

[Sora answers, giving a shrug. Because it was true. Training there was the closest thing he could think of to the gym from what he remembers back home at school and such at least. So it's....close enough? Probably. It should have something more or less that should cater to whatever she wants to try there, with safety equipment available this time if she were to fall or something.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Curly hair <:)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-02 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her mild relief at having remembered correctly registers subtly on her face, but mostly she seems as comfortable as she's been this whole time. ]

Well, as long as it has everything we need, I suppose that's the important part.

[ Her fingers tighten into their places amongst his now, a subconscious indication of her eagerness. She even sounds a bit excited when she asks, ]

So there's no problem with us going there, right?

[ Just to be sure their plans align. ]
Edited 2020-05-02 03:52 (UTC)
keybearing: (Better days)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-03 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
I'm sure they will. I've been there a few times. Training, sparring with Riku and some of the others. We're allowed, that's what it is there for! For us to use, I mean.

[So no. There shouldn't be any problems. At least not that Sora figures. Unless there were restrictions on hours it was open or something but it wasn't too early or late so he doesn't consider that. It was always fine when he went before. He stays close, still holding her hand as he leads the way. Pausing when they arrive to glance to her in asking what she wanted to try. Of course intending to help her and stay close.]
lethechained: (Flower vase :o)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-04 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ Naminé's equally unable to think of any reason it might be considered unacceptable, and happily walks along at his side until they reach the aforementioned coliseum. As he looks over at her once they arrive, he'll find her smile brightly. Her hand tightens gently around his, and for once she seems inclined to make the first move; ]

Come on...! I think I remember where it is.

[ She'll even tug him that direction if she has to, patiently though it might be. 'It,' as it happens, is climbing wall of pretty substantial size, and upon arriving there she wastes no time pointing it out. ]

See?
keybearing: (Well you see)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-05 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Ah....the rock climbing wall. Sure, we can get the harnesses and give it a go.

[This way at least, there was the harness. Helmets. And mattresses. So if she does fall, she won't get hurt so easily if she fell here, unlike with the tree earlier.

Sora doesn't seem pleased at the thought of needing to let her go though. In having to miss this closeness, even just holding hands. Feeling more clingy than usual in his wanting to be closer to her.]
lethechained: (Oh :O ?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-06 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Harnesses?

[ She looks at him sidelong, mouth beginning to purse. Any other day she'd be the one insisting that they use something like that for climbing, but today, ]

Do we really need those?

[ Yes, Naminé, you really need those. That wall is way too tall to climb any other way (sans powers, that is). ]
keybearing: (That maybe we'll find)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-07 08:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yes. It's just in case, I'm sure you won't fall if you just take your time. I can help you put it on.

[He answers, holding to one of them and waiting for her approval before getting it attacked around her waist. Perhaps lingering a little longer than he usually would in getting it ready if only to still enjoy his hands at her waist. Being close when he knows that won't necessarily be possible with this sort of activity.]
lethechained: (Partners in Crime)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-09 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ She hums, noncommittal. If he's suggesting it, she's got no reason to protest - though she looks slightly amused at his offer. ]

Well... alright. I can do it myself, but-- if you insist.

[ And she behaves herself, patient girl that she is. The flower hasn't completely removed her capacity for observation, however, and as his hands linger she tilts her head, arms still held slightly away from her body to keep from hindering him. ]

… Sora? Is it done?

[ If she weren't sure about him acting odd before, she is now. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (And said)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-10 06:58 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Ah, I think it's on properly now.

[But he does linger in taking a little longer when he withdraws his hands finally, removing his hands from the harness at her waist. Reluctant though he is in releasing her. In forgoing that contact he seems to crave and savor so much more at the moment. He then turns to deal with his own harness next, before gesturing for her to start, that he would climb up slightly after her in keeping an eye on her.]
lethechained: (Rumpled)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-11 03:52 am (UTC)(link)
[ Concern doesn't color her expression like it otherwise would as she watches him linger; under the magical influence she's more amused than anything else. It encourages her to be more patient, watching him get set up for a few moments rather than taking to the wall right away.

She doesn't need much more than his gesture to get moving, though. Turning to the wall, she only spends a few seconds looking it all over before beginning to climb. At least she's not... rushing? Even if she's far less cautious than she would be any other time. ]
keybearing: (Just a chance)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-11 10:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Even not being able to actually touch necessarily, he still tries to keep close. As much as he can while climbing up behind her. She seems to be enjoying it with how into it she seems to be, more than he expected. When she's usually more one to be content on the ground doing less physical activities.]

You going okay so far?
lethechained: (Flower vase :o)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[ He might have a little trouble sticking close - or at least, she's absorbed enough in it all that she doesn't hang by him like she otherwise would. It's really only her inexperience that slows her down, but she's doing surprisingly well. When she turns to glance over at him, her smile is bright. ]

Of course! It's just a wall.

[ A very tall wall. ]
keybearing: (If you should fall)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-13 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it is. I just don't think I've seen you this active.

[She usually seems more content to let Sora and Riku do this sort of thing while she watches and draws their antics or something. So he can't help but to be somewhat confused with this. And still trying to get close enough that his fingers might just brush against her shoes as he climbs up with her.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Tee hee.)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-15 04:29 am (UTC)(link)
Active?

[ He's entirely right to wonder about it, but she tilts her head back at him like it hasn't even occurred to her that anything is off. ]

Well, I can't let you guys have all the fun, can I?

[ Even though that's usually precisely what she does. Catching sight of him getting a bit closer than she expects, she ends up with one side of her smile rising a bit higher than the other as she turns to face back toward the wall. And-- well, now she's actually trying to keep away from him in a quiet attempt to tease him, so good luck with that, Sora. ]
keybearing: (But does that mean I have to walk on wat)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-16 04:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. You haven't really been here before except with watching me train in case one of us gets hurt or something, you know. I don't think I've seen you try this stuff before.

[He says, not judging or anything, just. An observation. In her trying something she hasn't previously shown interest in? He's not put out by it or anything. Aside from his desire to be closer to her anyway. He's just confused, perhaps. As he follows her with the climb up. He could probably go quicker but he's trying to make sure she is alright and doesn't want to go around her and need to look down to check how she was managing.]
lethechained: (Partners in Crime)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-17 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
[ By now, her lack of practice with physical exertion is beginning to catch up to her. Presently she slows, coming to a stop - just for a moment, of course - to rest. Peering at him along a shoulder, she admits a little breathlessly, ]

That's because I haven't.

[ Which should probably be concerning, considering how high up they already are - though that's what the safety equipment is for. ]

But not because I've never wanted to. I was just-- too afraid.
keybearing: (Promises)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-17 09:49 am (UTC)(link)
But you aren't now? I guess that's....good. That you're braver. More confident then?

[He catches up, not needing to stop himself yet, coming up higher, more closer to be able to reach a hand to her back in some reassurance and encouragement. That and he just. Can't currently help wanting to be closer to her.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Sunflowers)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-19 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her eyes follow him as he ascends, a slightly tired but easy smile curling her mouth when he places a hand on her back. Grip adjusting, she admits, ]

I think it is. [ For now, anyway. Tomorrow she'll probably be mortified. ] It's strange - I can't even remember why I was so scared in the first place. There's nothing bad about this.
