Repose

[More or less during this.]

[Locked to Lou D]
I wanted to spend the day bragging to you, but now I gotta be unpleasant instead and ask. Is your fuck of a brother in town?

[Locked to Daniel W]
You ever forgiving me or nah?

[Locked to Manning T]
I got some news for you, cause I gotta tell somebody.

[Locked to Atticus M]
I'm making you buy me a drink, huh?

[Call: Sam A]
[Ring!]

[Locked to Bruce W]
This is typical of this town.

[Ignoring the fact that she's ignoring him...]
[Locked to Naila A]
[In Arabic.] Your clone is collecting samples.

[Public] [ETA: LOCKED WHEN SHE COMES OUT OF IT]
[Someone didn't get the memo like the rest of the town, so someone currently has some flowers all tucked into her hair.]

I missed you, too, honey bunny. You coming over? I know how much you love making your little hyena laugh.

[Group: Flash & Jason (+MJ)]
[During this.]

Greetings and salutations,

MJ is totally flower-affected, but she's in a super good mood, so we're going to collect samples of the specimens. She has baskets! I'm bringing a compass, so we'll find our way back without incident, but boys tend to worry, so I'm informing you both of our plans. Oh! Stay away from Type B. I have absolutely no idea what that one does yet. My current observations indicate that Type A creates a sensation of super awesome. Type C seems to make people totally certifiable. But I can't tell what Type B does, which means they're totally delayed in their effect. Unknown variables are always so amazing. But don't breathe them in. They aren't that kind of amazing.

Scientifically,
Gwendy

[When the sun rises, every single one of the invading flowers has been struck down. All that is left in place are singed piles of salt, sulfur, and pure white ash which will disappear by the time the midday sun hits the town. UNFORTUNATELY, the respite doesn't last long, and by afternoon the flowers have already started to pop back up, infernal little weeds that they are. A different solution will need to be found.

Some people say they saw a figure in a red cloak skulking in the shadows the night before and cutting through the plants with a spear. A spear? It couldn't have been a spear. Who uses a spear? It had to be a hoe or a shovel. Probably a visual side effect of the flowers. Little Red Riding Hood has turned rogue gardener.

Completely and totally unrelated~ That same night, the grounds of the Catholic Church had been cleansed and sanctified, bestowed with an aura of safety for the next two weeks. Demons and other Hell creatures may not be so keen on it, but hey, there's always the Protestant church. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ]

[Someone's feeling better, or at least better enough to be out and about and walking by the catholic church because that's a thing he does? Or at least today it's a thing he does. Unlucky for him. Because the pretty purple flowers have sprung up and it's gotten incredibly hot all of a sudden.

Hot enough that he's down to his boxers and stretched out on the grass in front of the church, too hot to do much more than grumble and fan at his face with one hand.]

[Once this goes up on the flower shop, after this.]

We've trouble only slightly. Is the bossman gone entirely?
[If not, he can see this, of course.]

This town is totally weird. And I just had my ass pinched by an old guy asking about honeymoon rates, so I'm basically okay with staying inside with air-conditioning for forever.

[Flash M]

So the weird shit in the Capital, is the gang getting together for that, or whatever? Because the flower thing? Is other-level creepy.

[Perry P]

So I haven't told anyone about anything in the city. So if you want to keep quiet about it? That would be golden.

[cat]

so your sister and i are on the outs and i've fair assumption so are you and she given invective flung at my head, but are we at all concerned a strange man is responding to delusions by asking her to tell him where she is? because i'm a tiny bit concerned. and i really don't want the headache.

Hey man. You okay?
