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.
lethechained: (Okay over here)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-25 03:08 am (UTC)(link)
Worried, huh? [ Judging by the broadness of her smile, she doesn't take that seriously. ] Then worry no more...! Let's get going.

[ To prove it, she'll start off again herself - a bit slower than before, but progressing all the same. Now she makes the effort to keep pace with him instead of leading the way; her limbs are tired but her mind is willing to keep up the effort. ]
keybearing: (Hmph)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-27 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
Wo -- ah, okay.

[Sora continues the climb, reaching with his arms and pulling himself up with his legs as he goes. He's not going too fast, in being mindful of her being a little more tired yet and not as used to such physical activities as Sora is. But he does check she seems to be managing okay during it as they make their way to the top.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Sunflowers)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-29 01:05 am (UTC)(link)
[ By the time they near the upper reaches of the wall, Naminé's a bit short of breath, but remains determined. She's all smiles as they finally make it to the top. Looking over at him, ]

I think you won...!

[ He was probably doing better than she was for the last part of that. ]
keybearing: (Regardless of warning)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-30 06:34 am (UTC)(link)
Eheh. Looks like it.

[He's gonna reach if she needs a hand in making it to the top to rest for a bit, offering her his support if she needs it. Offering for them to rest for a bit before making their way back down if she needs to do so. Smiling and relieved she made it okay, if tired.]
lethechained: (Nobody shield)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-05-31 01:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ She doesn't need the hand, but she takes it anyway, smiling broadly up at him as she accepts his help if all is right with the world. As they rest, she turns to look down at the ground far below.

Far, far below, she realizes suddenly. Her frown is gradual, but - all at once, the flower begins to wear off, and with each passing moment she gets a little bit paler, a little bit more perplexed, until finally, ]


-- Um. Sora...?
keybearing: (It's all that we've known)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-05-31 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? What is it? You okay?

[He's perceptive enough to note she seems a little pale. That frown. Sora tilts his head in wondering if she's alright from that. He just figured to let her rest if she seems a little tired before heading back down. Not wanting her to overdo it in pushing herself especially when she is newer to this.]
lethechained: (not good news man)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-01 03:37 am (UTC)(link)
I-- I think so, [ she says, neither feeling nor sounding very confident about it. Her eyes linger on the ground, then shut abruptly as she turns her face away from the open space beneath them, angling it toward the wall. ]

I just feel dizzy all of a sudden...!

[ And scared. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Whoa)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-01 06:48 am (UTC)(link)
Dizzy? We can get down quickly. Just kinda leap, while sliding down the rope harness. Abseiling, right? Like this.

[He gives a small demonstration, sending himself just slightly further down. Still enough that he's well within reach to help her if she needs it. They could handle getting down quicker in comparison at least.]
lethechained: (wait what)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-01 08:06 pm (UTC)(link)
That's not what I...

[ She murmurs it with firmly closed eyelids, but it sounds faint even in her own ears. No matter her sudden fear, though, she can't help but look when he demonstrates, the rushing sound of the tether urging her to peer down at him over her shoulder. He makes it look easy enough, yet she feels her stomach turn at the thought.

Except... she made it up here in the first place, didn't she? And she wasn't afraid then. Swallowing dryly, Naminé tries to remind herself of that. ]


… Right, [ she agrees belatedly, looking a bit like she's going to be ill. ] Abseiling.

[ Gathering herself, she makes a hesitant hop. It's not as effective as she'd like, her reluctance pulling her back joltingly to stillness against the wall again before she's gone quite as far down as he has. ]
keybearing: (What I want this year)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-02 08:14 am (UTC)(link)
You can do it. It's okay, take your time. You got this.

[He tries to encourage her, still not going down too much farther than she was. In wanting to keep close in reassuring her as they slowly make progress and he praises her each time she hauls down even a little. It's progress, however slow. There's no rush about it so he doesn't mind.]
lethechained: (Strained)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-03 05:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Although she nods, it takes her a solid, deep breath before she feels comfortable trying again. The next time is... better, but her progress is slow, even if it's gradually becoming consistent. ]

I'm sorry, [ she says presently, quietly enough that anyone farther away than he is might have trouble hearing. ] I don't-- know what came over me all of a sudden.
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Where is this?)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-05 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay. I'm just glad you're alright and didn't get hurt during that.

[He says when they make it down to the ground again. Unsure exactly what had happened with her but relieved she is alright at least. That's the important thing, as she gets down and he helps remove their harnesses.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Looking kinda grim)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-06 07:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, [ she agrees breathily, a moment late, ] Me too.

[ But she seems a bit bemused about it all as they extricate themselves from the equipment - or he helps her do so, rather. Somewhere in all of it, the edelweiss she's had tucked behind her ear this whole time gets knocked loose, tumbling to the ground. ]

-- Oh. I... [ That's right. Now that she thinks about it, ] I forgot I was wearing that.

[ Which feels a bit peculiar, in retrospect. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Wait what was I doing again?)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-07 08:39 am (UTC)(link)
Hm? Oh, a flower. Yeah, I found one too earlier.

[Not that he wasn't already affectionate but the flower hadn't helped that situation. At the least, it had been hard to really stay quite so clingy to her with the rock climbing practice like that anyway. As he notes he still has his attached to his short sleeved jacket.]
lethechained: (calm)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-08 12:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ Her eyes shift toward the flower as he mentions it, lingering there a moment as she pays it proper attention for the first time. ]

Ah...! It's a different kind.

[ Well, that's interesting. ]

Now that I think about it, there are a lot of these around today, aren't there?
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Sweet)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-10 07:50 am (UTC)(link)
I guess. I grabbed it cause I figured I'd give it to you or something.

[Sora explains with a shrug. He's not too fussed either way, in being more active outside with swimming or sparring or racing or such to have spent a lot of time gardening. But flowers were pretty and smelled nice. He thought maybe she might like it is all.]
lethechained: (halfsmile)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-12 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Oh? To me?

[ The idea triggers a surprised blink, but soon enough a bashful smile curls at her mouth. ]

I'm flattered, then - that you thought of me. It... is very pretty.
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Softened)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-14 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
Y-yeah. I thought you might like it. I mean, it's pretty and smelled nice, so.

[He'd just figured he could grab it for her. Only, when he did find her she was up in the tree and all. And they'd gone rock climbing. He himself might look a little bashful, raising a hand to the back of his neck as he notes some movement in others seeming to want to use the rock climbing. He reaches then to her hand in at least leading them out of the way.]
lethechained: (b-blush)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-16 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
[ Although normally she might have anticipated their being in someone else's way, Sora's a pretty good distraction. Once she realizes it, though, she gives a soft noise of surprise and offers a quiet apology to the bystanders, her fingers naturally shaping themselves to Sora's once he reaches for her hand. Trailing after him, she finally says the shy, ]

Well, you were right.

[ that she'd meant to say before. As they walk, ]

-- Wait, were you waiting to bring it up this whole time?

[ Because she'll feel bad if she was taking up his time with other stuff. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Whoa)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-17 09:22 am (UTC)(link)
I guess I forgot about it for a bit? Finding you up in the tree and all....

[Which is fair enough? That was the last place he would have expected to find her and all. Considering her not being the most athletic usually. Sora was surprised and worried in the moment and all. He takes the flower and offers it to her now anyway if she wants it.]
lethechained: (Partners in Crime)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-18 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
[ She makes a quiet noise of understanding. Now that she thinks about it, ]

That must have seemed strange...

[ And it seems a little strange to her now, too, in hindsight. Why was she up there again? She doesn't have long to concentrate on it, because soon enough he's holding the flower out to her. The girl gives a soft exhale of surprise, then reaches to take the offered bloom. ]

Thank you, [ she says, looking down at the flower - almost close enough to sniff. ] Really, Sora. [ A beat, as she realizes she still has her own flower as well. ] -- Oh. We can trade, if you'd like...!

[ The edelweiss isn't exactly ugly either. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Sweet)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-19 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
A little. Yeah.

[He can't help but to smile a little at that, chuckling for a brief moment before he blinks when she offers her flower. He gives a nod then, figuring it couldn't hurt to take it. It's just a flower. And from her, after all.]

Alright.
lethechained: (Flower vase :o)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-20 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ She'd think twice about it if her mind were fully clear and she'd considered the possible causes for her behavior, but in the absence of such thought it seems like a nice enough idea. Her hand falls away once his has accepted the flower, both sets of her fingers coming to take delicate hold of the one he gave her. She hesitates a moment before shifting it around to tuck it into her hair, like she originally did with the edelweiss.

With that settled, she exhales a breath, looks up at the wall-- ]


I think... I'm done climbing for today.
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Side)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-21 03:01 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[Sora attaches the flower to his jacket, not thinking much if anything on her now seeming more like usual and less confident in comparison to how she was before with this particular flower. As their fingers brush in exchanging the flowers. He gives a shrug and figures to lead her out of the arena.]
lethechained: (Partners in Crime)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-21 08:05 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Naminé's eyes linger on the structure for just a moment before they shift back down, her head angling his way as she watches him settle the flower in place. 'It looks good on you,' she doesn't say, because it sounds weird even in her own head, but she smiles all the same. ]

Sorry, [ she speaks out loud instead, ] if you're disappointed about not getting the chance to climb anymore.

[ But it's not a serious concern, and she seems in good enough spirits as she moves to keep pace with him while they walk out. After a moment's thoughtful silence, ]

It really is odd. I'm not sure what got into me...!
