Who: Two goddesses and whoever
When: Day 56, backdated to early afternoon
Where: Shrine Room and technically wherever for fire viewing.
What: Burning flowers and freaking goddess.

[For the past day, the flowers have stubbornly remained. It's possible to have kept the apartments cleared, but any attempts to get rid of them in public places was fruitless. Even if one clump was destroyed, another would crop up not too far away. However...]

[No matter where you’re wandering about today, be it through the hallways, in the common area by the windows, shuffling through the abandoned building on level 4—there is quite suddenly fire everywhere, igniting any remaining Kaleidoscope Blossoms in a shower of dancing rainbow sparks. The flames are cool to the touch and only seem to burn the flowers in question, but there’s still a certain spectacle to everything around you catching fire without warning.]

[For those near the shrine room, there is another sound that isn't fire. The voice is familiar, but the tone is different. The voice that is usually cold, the kind that took paying attention to note any differences, sounds on the verge of hysterics to even the most emotionally dense of people.]

[For any who investigate, they'll see Albinia clinging to Kalidas, her usually professional and calm demeanor replaced by something more disheveled and upset.] Thank you, thank you, I couldn't get it to stop fast enough...

(( Any lingering flowers in public spaces have been torched with extreme prejudice, and any that are being kept either on your person or in your apartments are safe for you to do with them as you please. ))

[Petting her, as the last of the flames die down]

Peace, Albinia.

[oi_theoi]

[Forever clinging.]

It wasn't supposed to end up like...it was supposed to help...

[nolongerslate]

[ignoring the flowers, but is going to try to catch the flames]

[oi_theoi]

[They don't burn to the touch; in fact, you can hold one in your palm with no difficulty]

[pencilpremonition]

[Becca had been in the kitchen, but the moment she hears Albinia freaking out like that, she drops what she's doing and sets off at a dead run. She takes one look at the two goddesses and moves forward to wrap Albinia up in a hug, careful to not actually move her away from Kalidas any.]

[oi_theoi]

[Still clinging to Kalidas, but looking back.]

Are you okay? No one hurt you...?

[birdonawire]

[hot or not, there's still something alarming about everything bursting into flame when you met your own death via giant fiery explosion]

[oi_theoi]

[At least it's colorful fire! Still, what the hell?]

[anklets]

[Just about jumps out of her skin at the sudden flames, quickly backing away from the walls and burning clumps of Kaleidoscope Blossoms.]

Oh...!

[oi_theoi]

[That shower of rainbow sparks is at least fun to look at, isn't it? Spontaneous combustion is still a rather odd weather condition, though]

[slayerofgiants]

[GOOD. he's GLAD those stupid flowers are burning. they only got him killed and all!

also he's headed for the shrine room]

[oi_theoi]

[As soon as you get there, Albinia is freaking out and clinging to Kalidas.]

[She glances up at the sound at the doorway and goes still, wide eyed.]

[besomeothername]

[Watching the fireworks quietly and hovering around to try to check up on Albinia]

[oi_theoi]

[Goddess is not taking it well. People died. ):]

[likebigboats]

Someone's had a rough day.

[coughinguplove]

What's happened now?

[oi_theoi]

...

[Oh, I'm just the one responsible for why half of your apartment got injured or DIED.]

[likebigboats]

How dramatic.

[oi_theoi]

[...just gonna ignore you and cling to sis.]

[oi_theoi]

She's a bit upset at the moment.

[afoxylady]

A little grumpy, Kalidas?

[oi_theoi]

Just taking care of business, dear.

[madasahero]

[Was searching for Watson and a mysterious archer ~ , but suddenly things were on fire! And then goddesses were being weird. Oh my.]

[oi_theoi]

[There are so many upset goddesses in this shrine room. ):]

[Well, okay, just the one and her comforting sister...]

[backinaflash]

[startled by sudden fire!! fiery explosion death will give you that reaction. but even more startled by Albinia sounding emotional. heading into the shrine room...]

Albinia?

[oi_theoi]

[Clinging to Kalidas like a pro, but glancing over.]

Wally.

[Expressions are lacking a lot of their more muted tone. Which is probably more telling than anything.]

[confirmed_bachelor]

[Watson jumps in front of the door to Apt C, having just returned from a patrol.]

What the bloody hell was that--?

[not_one_of_them]

[almost pouting]

Damn.
