"If you can't take the heat"...Valentine Mini Event
It starts sometime during the night. At first it's just a few taps against the roof but then it quickly turns into what sounds like a hailstorm...
Day One
Come morning, a sweet smell hangs over World's End. The source is obvious -- candy litters the floor and immediate area of every location. Anyone familiar with Valentine's Day will recognize it instantly as conversation hearts. But instead of the traditional "Luv U" and "Be Mine", they're inscribed with much different messages. Sometimes the writing is tiny. Sometimes it takes several of them to spell out their message. And that message might not be as sweet:
Incest must be best, Alfred puts his sister to the test~
Sebastian & Ciel's soul 2gether 4ever
Road + Allen : Heartbreak in the making
All Hail Dawn the Porn Queen
Alex wants Dean to kiss him like he did last Valentine's Day
Dean wants it too
Castiel is a virgin~
Sheva wears fuzzy handcuffs
Make the first move
Harry wears Hermione's lacy red knickers
Dawn > Rion
Xehanort - X = No Heart
Naoto licks before she bites
Rion and Xion sittin' in a tree (k-i-s-s-i-ng)
Beatrice + Battler Ushiromiya xoxo
Green is your color
Helen likes grrrls
Eve + Butch + Amata = 3way
Riqis h8s u all keybearers
Harry + Malfoy Ginny
(and spelled out right below this)
R O N
Kadaj cries himself to sleep
Ryu : King of Lonely Hearts
Vergil + Lady + Dante + Vergil
You could always eat the 'evidence.' Candy is something of a luxury here. But there are those who don't have a sweet tooth or are simply too stubborn to fall for such an obvious trap. There may be a few who give into temptation and eat some of the candies, and as a result--
Absolutely nothing happens to them. Oh World's End, why so suspicious?
The day steadily grows warmer without the Plate to block out the sun. But by mid-afternoon, the heat is seeming less and less natural.
"Can you stoke a few more fires, baby brother? It's been awhile since they worked up a sweat."
And for once, Mhaya and Yugash actually agreed on something.
Day Two (Sweat)
There's been no release from the heat, not even when darkness falls. The candy hearts have started to melt and leave their messages behind. It's going to take some scrubbing to make them go away. The air is now heavy with cinnamon, a smell that's been known to stir up passions for centuries.
Even each morning hour is hotter than the last. It's the type of heat that makes you want to strip down, makes tempers flare. Choose one. Make love or make war, Mhaya has no real preference. As long as you're passionate about it.
That said, the bathhouse has been made the perfect setting for the former. Candles without heat illuminate it, and petals from the beach's roses are scattered across the water. Of course, some unfortunate soul will have to put the divider between the men's side and woman's side back, seeing as how it's been mysteriously removed. But according to Yugash, that's the kind of activity that will really fix you.
Day Three (Blood)
The temperature has finally leveled off. A few small fires are burning in World's End and could threaten residences if left untended. But things are slowly returning to normal. The air doesn't smell quite as nice as it has during the past two days, but somehow it's still a familiar scent...
Red rose petals litter the ground now. Some of them wither and turn brown before being blown away The breeze that finally carries the heat away with it. But some of the petals stay behind, just as bright as they ever were.
On closer inspection, you realize that they're not rose petals at all. They're drops of blood.
And suddenly you recognize the smell in the air.
OOC notes:
This event will be taking us through the weekend. Day One will run from now until Friday at Midnight EST. Day Two will extend from 12:01 a.m. Until Sunday at noon. Fights are encouraged during this time! Or other activities, if you'd prefer. Just remember the appropriate warnings and locks and such. Day Three will start on Sunday at Noon and from there the event will gradually pass from Mhaya's hands -- with her blessing. You might've noticed the blood and sweat. Expect some tears at the end of the event. There will be IC god posts during those days with links back to this reminding everyone what is going on and when. We just wanted to put this up to give everyone some time breed plotbunnies. Happy Valentine's Weekend everyone!
