Week 5

[airlockedmods]

[As with the weeks before, life in the Fantasy Sweet returns to something resembling normalcy with shocking efficiency. The second floor rest area and Adventure Zone Death Orb Room are spotless again, the demon glitter has been vacuumed, the deflated orbs have been replaced. It's like none of it ever happened, like three more friends aren't dead and stored away in the guest house morgue.

There's a new floor to explore, their "reward" for a job well done.]

Yes, but I deal in secrets as well. It's what I'm good at, so sharing my own isn't exactly my forte. I already told you guys enough about myself at the meeting.

[Yes, and she's stubborn.]

[desperateprayer]

...I'm not asking for secrets, Nari. I'm asking you to vent. I don't think anyone is okay after yesterday. That includes you.

[ It's okay to cry. She'll even come sit by you. ]

[everylittlesecret]

Vent? My way of venting... it's not pretty. And I've been holding back.

[She's a destructive venter.]

[desperateprayer]

...You can't bottle it up, Nari. You're going to explode.

[everylittlesecret]

....... What the fuck do you want me to do then? Take an axe to a tree? Because that sounds so damn appealing right now. Just.... hack, hack, hack away....

[desperateprayer]

...If that helps. We have plenty of trees, after all.

[ Just... Feel better, okay? ]

[everylittlesecret]

.... then stand back, Miss Nun. I have a wide swing.

[And knows just where an axe is. Which she gets, and then picks her target: a lemon tree. She takes a deep breath before letting out a guttural yell, swinging the axe sideways, hard enough for it to chop a decent way into the tree.

She doesn't stop, though that one yell will be her only one, swinging over and over again till with a loud crack the tree falls over. She's.... going to be so sore later. But right now? She looks murderously elated.]

[desperateprayer]

[ Clarith made sure the birds were out of the way, too. Why lemons? She'll ask later. But right now, Nari seems to be feeling better for the first time in awhile. Clarith is just. Sitting out of the way. ]

...You weren't kidding about a wide swing.

[everylittlesecret]

[Chucking the axe aside, Nari rubs her hands together. Putting her hands on the fallen tree, it takes a moment, and then it catches. The flames dance around her fingers as they slowly spread up the tree.

Before Clarith will know it, the tree is now very on fire. Nari is right in the middle of it all.]

[desperateprayer]

...Nari, maybe we should have had water on-hand first...?

[ SHE'S WORRIED ABOUT THE REST OF THE GARDEN, NARI. ]

[everylittlesecret]

[As soon as Clarith says that, the sprinklers kick in. Both women and the entire garden will be soaked now as the flames are snuffed. Nari just starts laughing loudly, turning back to Clarith, with a grin.]

You have no idea how good that felt.

[desperateprayer]

We should get somewhere dry before we catch cold.

[ AT LEAST THE GARDEN'S OKAY? ]

[everylittlesecret]

....... [She lifts her hand up, wiggling her fingers a bit. The water seems to be repelling off of something now like an umbrella, Nari not getting a single drop on her anymore. If asked, she'll explain it's just the combination of air and water to make a shield.]

I'll be fine. Why not use one of the trees I didn't hack down for cover?

[desperateprayer]

[ Clarith will nod and just. Duck under the trees, sighing as she waits there. She'll wring out the ends of her dress, and some of her hair. This is... A thing. ]

...I take it you're feeling better.

[everylittlesecret]

[Nari drops her makeshift shield and lets herself be soaked, looking rather content.]

Oh hell yeah.
