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.

Well, yeah. Course. Yeah, and the harness.

[Still. At the least, she seems fine for all the physical activity and climbing of the day. Which was good. What should happen. Her slowly adjusting and getting more confident in herself, in her relationships to trust others to help her out.]

A-anyway, was there anything else you wanted to do or were you going to head back to your housing?
lethechained: (calm)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-27 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
-- Oh. Well....

[ The way she looks, you'd think she hadn't even considered what to do next. She shakes her head slightly to clear it; half of it's the residual effect of the edelweiss and half of it's just because when he leads her, she follows. ]

It has been a pretty long day already, [ she admits, with some reluctance. Parting from him is never something she looks forward to, flower or no flower. ] I suppose it might be a good idea to get some rest.

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-27 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
Alright. Want me to walk you back?

[He doesn't mind either way. If she wants him to or says she is fine to get back to the housing herself. As long as he was able to help her out. To take her rock climbing as a safer alternative and climbing trees and all at least. Sora just instinctively, out of habit, leads the way in at least exiting outside the Colosseum building.]
lethechained: (Rumpled)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-06-28 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
[ His offer brings back her good humor in short order, her mouth easing into a smile again. They are headed the right way already, aren't they? ]

If you don't mind, [ she agrees, voice gentled. ] You've done a lot for me already today.

[ Not that that ever seems to stop him. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Sweet)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-06-30 09:55 am (UTC)(link)
It's fine. I can walk you.

[He doesn't mind. At least that way he would know she got back alright. Without further unusual behaviour or something anyway. So Sora just keeps going in that direction, not seeming to mind if he does notice he might still be holding her hand. It doesn't take long, in any case.]
lethechained: (halfsmile)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-07-02 03:06 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks, Sora.

[ It's probably a sign of how far she's come that she doesn't seem quite as bashful about it all as she might have before. Instead she smiles gently, sincerely, unbothered about the way their hands still clasp each other.

And it really doesn't take long. She's mostly quiet on the way, content to enjoy his company and the flowers that seem to have sprung up everywhere. Eventually, as their near her house, she murmurs, ]


I didn't realize how many there were...!

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-07-04 08:55 am (UTC)(link)
Huh, yeah. More than I remember seeing before. I guess that's why they stood out and I grabbed you one earlier.

[Still. They're pretty and smell nice at least. That was the whole point on flowers. These just also apparently come with possible side effects. If theirs they have now are anything to go by anyway. He's used to this though in walking her back so doesn't think much if anything of it, just wanting to get her to the door so he knows she gets back alright.]
lethechained: (Olderne! Sunflowers)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-07-05 01:47 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe, [ she agrees, the house coming into view. Her eyes catch on it and she pauses, because-- ]

-- Oh. They're even growing on the roof...!

[ Now that's peculiar, as if the sheer volume of plants wasn't strange enough. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Whoa)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-07-07 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Ah, they are. I guess I hadn't checked if there were gardens up there before. They probably would get more sun up on the roof though. And rain. Make the most of it to grow more.....

[Sora notes them too, pausing when she does to glance where she seems to be looking. It's pretty. Not that they have the best view from where they are down there of course but still. He can tell the flowers are up there at least.]
lethechained: (Sketchy looking up)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-07-09 04:09 am (UTC)(link)
That's true...! But it must be hard to grow where there's so little soil.

[ Still, it is pretty. Naminé spends a few moments admiring it before remembering their original aim. Head lowering as she glances back over at him, ]

I guess this is it, then. You walked me back, like you said you would.

[ Although honestly one has room to wonder how safe a location her house is at the moment, what with all the overgrowth. ]
keybearing: Coloured by <user name=keybearing> (Side)

[personal profile] keybearing 2020-07-11 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
I guess someone sorted out some gardening up there at least. Maybe with like pot plants or something?

[He's guessing at least. In not actually having been up there before himself anyway. On these rooftops at least. Still he gives a shrug, with a small smile in at least taking a moment to admire it himself before she glances to him and mentions in returning her back to her housing.]

If you're sure here is fine. Okay then.
lethechained: (That's the best smile you've got Namine?)

[personal profile] lethechained 2020-07-12 03:22 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know. I can't see any...!

[ But that's hardly important. The point is, their afternoon together is pretty much over; she nods at his comment, then very carefully - and with some reluctance - relaxes her grip on his hand until it falls away. Folding her hands together now that they're both free, ]

Thank you, Sora. You've done a lot of looking after me today.
