SHIVER ME TINDERS

Something’s been glitching with everyone’s shellphones this month…! They suddenly fizzle and go black and when they reboot it appears there’s been some unwanted activity happening on them on your behalf.

A network post has appeared and with it, fake social media profiles have popped up too. You didn’t post to it, the shellphones have automatically done that for you. They’ve posted one picture, your age and three random facts about you. Whether or not those facts are true or not is … sketchy at best.

If you’re curious, go scrolling through the network post and see what it says about others! Comment around and ask them about their facts! And maybe make a new friend?

- Oocly, you will post your character to the network post with a picture, name and age and three random facts.
- The facts don't have to be true and can be entirely made up and be random or wild. Or they can be the realist facts about your character. It's up to you.
- Have your character react icly any way you want!
- Post and tag around!
- This is not necessarily a romance/date finding post, we just thought it was funny. Make friends and cr!

My, how incredibly on the nose.

[haveaflare]

And blessedly lacking in specificity.

[phoenixdominant]

We wouldn't dare to see it more specific than this?

[He chuckles.]

But now, I must ask... Is it all flowers? Or just the one kind?

[haveaflare]

The entire star need not know all the details of neither my personal affairs nor yours.

The former Empress kept a fine personal garden filled with Hyacinth and lily of the valley. The air there was always so sweet in spring. I enjoyed those as well.

[phoenixdominant]

[Joshua laughs again at the first line. Very true!! He would like to keep certain things private as well!]

That sounds lovely...

Dion, would you like to plant a garden?

[beshackled]

You've been to outer space at such a young age?!

[His friend is so young how is everyone so young here--]

[The response takes him by surprise. He remembers the flight, though it was not at his command. He'd been a prisoner in his own body, an unwilling tool of Bahamut's will when he'd failed to maintain control. He'd-]

It was only accomplished after the consumption of a veritable glut of aether.

[beshackled]

[Something... something feels off. Dion doesn't seem as cheery as he often looks. Erichthonios pauses, stops, thinks, the full process playing over his features with no attempt at disguising it.

But if he'd consumed a glut, why is he suffering from the condition he is suffering from...? Something... something must have happened.

Brows furrow, his gaze flickering with worry.]

...A-ah. Apologies. 'Tis a remarkable feat, but... I'm sure I do not know the full story. We could talk about something else? Flowers? I'm afraid I've no experience with kisses.

[haveaflare]

I...would speak of it. [Mayhap he should. Joshua has taught him burdens are lighter for the sharing.] But not here, if you would hear my sad tale.

I fear whatever jest propelled this malfunction to being is ill-themed. I know of only one flower to which it may refer. The wyvern's tail lily, the...symbol of my homeland.

[beshackled]

Oh. If it is ill-themed, then... mayhap we can talk about something different. Though I would hear of your story, and this favored flower of yours, when and where you feel most comfortable sharing such tales.

I... I know how hard it can be to speak of some things.

[There being so few kindnesses to his own tale.]

[tilfrosset]

Clearly you've long bested me in the childhood friend category.

[Is she teasing him? Yes, yes she is.]

[haveaflare]

[A throaty chuckle in response.]

Nay. You, after all, are to be wed.

i like flowers too! i helped grow a whooole field of them near my house! (＾▽＾)

what's your favorite flower?

text; un: haveaflare

[haveaflare]

I am fond of jasmine, hyacinth. They were grown in the palace garden when I was boy, and the air was always filled with such sweetness.

What sorts of flowers did you grow?

text; un: bloodinbloom

[bloodinbloom]

jasmine and hyacinth. oh, those ones are both pretty. a palace garden?

milkweeds! we had some growing voluntarily at first, but the butterflies really like them so i helped grow more and more while daddy was busy.

[haveaflare]

Yes. I'm told the former Empress enjoyed them as well, though when my father remarried, his new bride had them removed. She claimed they gave her headaches.

...is that not a weed?

text;

[bloodinbloom]

what? that wasn’t very nice of her! you still liked them! (>_<)

hmmm never really thought if they were or not. they were still pretty, and the butterflies liked them. and more flowers meant more butterflies. they would migrate every year to the flower patch!

[esquim]

Can you really fly into space or is this one of the falsities this thing made up?

text

[haveaflare]

It is more accurate to say I am capable of it under certain circumstances.

[esquim]

What would those certain circumstances be?

[haveaflare]

I must needs consume a great surfeit of aether to accomplish such a feat.

[And after a pause, the next line arrives, as he realizes not every world uses the same term.]

Aether is an energy that exists in all things, and can be manipulated to magical effect.

[gruffier]

Kissed both, have you?

[ HE'S MOSTLY TEASING, BUT- ]

text; un: haveaflare

[haveaflare]

[IS HE THOUGH?]

Are you certain you would have more details, Clive?

[gruffier]

[ MAYBE ]

Would you divulge the details if I did?
