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.

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...!
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Smug))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-21 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Even if we get it wrong, it's probably still going to taste good too. Might be kinda sticky and messy though, but that'll be worth it, if you ask me.

[It could also be really tart, but that was a different matter.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Tee hee.)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-23 04:52 am (UTC)(link)
As long as we get the lemonade part right, [ she says laughingly, by way of joking agreement. After a beat, ]

Actually - I don't think I've ever made lemonade.

[ So tartness could definitely be a potential risk. ]
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Smug))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-27 01:57 am (UTC)(link)
Neither have I? Can't be that hard can it? You just get the lemons to stop smiling and dancing around, open them up and squeeze the juice into some water right?

[...don't listen to her, Namine. Don't... just don't. Lemons did actually do that in her world, and god knew why.]
lethechained: (did you really just--)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-28 03:16 am (UTC)(link)
… Smiling?

[ Quite appropriately, Naminé looked thoroughly baffled by the description, head turning so that she could peer over at Terezi directly with an increasing squint. ]

I didn't think they had mouths. Or-- legs...?

[ Granted she'd never spent much time around live citrus fruit, but still. ]
mindseer: (Blindfold (Neutral))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-05-30 03:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, these don't have legs. They have mouths and eyes and they're always bouncing around and laughing. What, is that not normal? I don't actually eat much fruit, but I remember the ones in Jade's place used to do that all the time.

...

Ya know... they probably don't, do they?
lethechained: (Oh :O ?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-31 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ The, 'then how do they dance?' wrote itself across Naminé face, at least until the answer was forthcoming. Bouncing counted as dancing, probably, and Naminé gave her head a mildly uncertain shake as she responded, ]

No? At least - I've never seen one do it. [ Her shoulders shifted, lifting in a shrug. ] But-- maybe they do it when I'm not looking.

[ It was only half a joke. She'd heard stranger things, after all. ]
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Cringe))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-02 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
Those sneaky... lemony... little bastards! They're dancing when we're not looking aren't they? The ones in Jade's bowl were just bold as brass!

[...she was actually being slightly serious here. She fully believed that you couldn't entirely trust fruit and vegetables.]

Well, we'll show them. We'll make lemonade out of them, eh?
lethechained: (Olderne! Sunflowers)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-03 06:23 am (UTC)(link)
Ah--

[ It was impossible not to laugh, both at the troll's outrage and the idea of sneaky lemons cavorting behind everyone's backs. Honestly, Naminé could picture it all too well. She hadn't seen any proof that it wasn't true, but-- ]

Terezi… [ Flower or no flower, Naminé's soothing tone was on point, even with the humor still in it. ] If they really are alive like that, then crushing them... that would be cruel, wouldn't it?
mindseer: Source Needed (PM please if you know) (White-Eye (Grin))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-05 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
It'll serve em right if it's a little cruel. Dancing around us behind our backs, plotting whatever lemony plans of destruction and citrus they have. [Ok, Naminé, she's probably joking at this point. Probably. The laughter was a good sign.]

Besides, it won't take long anyway. Gotta chop em in half to squeeze the juices out properly right?
lethechained: (Olderne! Curly hair <:)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-06 10:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Naminé did take the laughter as a good sign, and as such laughed along with it even as her face scrunched at that last claim. ]

You're just making it sound worse…!

[ Sure, it being over quickly would theoretically make the whole thing less painful, but still. ]

How's this - we'll warn them first, and if they speak up we can let them go.
mindseer: (Blindfold (Smile))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-11 06:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You are too sweet. You're going to handle all the sugar for this. Sure sure, we can be decent and give them a chance to flee in terror.

[A good indication if the lemons were the dancing type. Thank god, she'd only seen one here, the first month she showed up... when it all rained down.]
lethechained: (Rumpled)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-12 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? But if I'm too sweet, won't I put in too much?

[ It was probably a sign of her progress as an individual with a real life that she didn't become stymied by bashfulness at the compliment. (Though the flower certainly couldn't have hurt that; she colored slightly but answered back right away. At Terezi's agreement, ]

Deal...! That way no one can say we weren't being fair.
mindseer: (Default)

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-14 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
Pffft, I don't know anyone who complains about lemonade being too sweet.

[There was probably someone out there who would. But it seemed almost silly, really. She was pleased to see her friend in this good of a mood though.]

Least of all the lemon. If they speak up,, they'll be running away!
lethechained: (hee~!)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-15 03:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ With a giggle: ] There's a first time for everything.

[ And it was a good mood indeed. ]

Mm! I suppose if they're the kind that have mouths, they're probably also the kind that dance.

[ It seemed reasonable enough they'd go hand in hand. ]

Maybe we can leave the door open for them, just to be nice.
mindseer: (Default)

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-15 08:08 pm (UTC)(link)
... yeah, I think we can do that. Now, let's just hope that they're not zommbie bouncing fruit, because now that we've said all that, I'm imagining it.
lethechained: (Thank you)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-17 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Zombies? [ Naminé looked suitably, laughingly put off by the notion. ]

Now that seems unlikely. But I guess they'd be trouble if they were...! It'd be hard to catch something that small.
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Smug))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-17 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Tiny zombies would absolutely be the worse, but no. I'm pretty sure they're just going to be dancing lemons, the regular sort, if they're even that. Zombies... would be almost too silly even for here.
lethechained: (Olderne! Sunflowers)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-18 09:31 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know, [ she commented idly, trying to picture the lemons in question. ] There have been some pretty strange situations around here.

[ Shaking her head to clear it, ]

But-- I'm sure we'd have heard about it by now if there were a problem like that with the lemons. What are the chances that it would start happening right when we decided to make lemonade?

[ Clearly, statistics were on their side. ]
mindseer: Source Needed (PM please if you know) (White-Eye (Grin))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-18 10:55 pm (UTC)(link)
There have, haven't there? But I think you and I are on the same page here. If we had zombie lemons, we'd definitely have had someone screaming on the network for me to laugh at by now. [She shook her head.] I'd say the odds are pretty low, so we're safe today.

This town's all about playing the odds.
lethechained: (Okay over here)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-20 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
It would only make sense. That doesn't seem like something everyone would keep to themselves, even if you would laugh at them.

[ Naminé felt reasonably confident about that assessment, regardless of the flower's influence. Mouth curling slightly, she agreed, ]

Well, sometimes the odds play you. Still - I think we have a good plan.
mindseer: Commissoned, please ask before using (White Eye (Smug))

[personal profile] mindseer 2020-06-20 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
I would have so many laughs. Dante and I would just lay into them with al the memes...

[She snickered hard.]

Yeah, let's do this. To the lemonade stand!

[She was an idiot. She knew it, but she was fine being an idiot.]
