[Hei again, looking quite disheveled, some time after this.]

I-is anyone else having trouble with their new realities? Like...having really weird, dangerous stuff happen to them?

The temple I'm in is completely surrounded by roses that I think are actively trying to kill me. And I had to lock the armor in a closet because it kept attacking me. This is all after the earthquake and the fire.

Anyone know what's going on?

I, too, am beginning to have frequent dangerous encounters...you think they are linked to yours?

[contract_star]

I, I don't know. I don't know if this has something to do with the reality switch, or if it's just the Twins and Ms. Sault having fun with us again.

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

It could be easily be either, I suppose. Perhaps it is part of their experiment.

[contract_star]

Perhaps. The farther this experiment goes, the more I dislike it.

What's been happening to you exactly?

[dwellonschemes.livejournal.com]

I must say I agree.

There have been small things happening that could be attributed to bad luck, if I believed in such a thing, but the most prominent incident is that I was completely surrounded by people with guns. I escaped here before they could shoot, luckily.

[contract_star]

Ah...I'm finding myself in a similar situation. Except roses, not guns.

[Stares at him] That's not suppose to be happening. No one mentioned anything about earthquakes or fires after the Sanctuary battles. And Aphrodite's roses should be able to move around on their own.

[contract_star]

Well, the fire was just in the kitchen. I don't know how it happened!

They weren't moving at first, but then I noticed new ones growing closer and closer, and now I can't see out any of the windows. I think they're trying to get in. They smell kind of strange, too... [Realizes how paranoid he sounds and sighs heavily.]

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

If they really are Aphrodite's roses then they're poisonous. If you breath in too much of their scent then you'll fall asleep, and if your exposed to the perfume for a long time you'll die. Also, stay way from the white roses if you see any. Those will suck your blood.

[contract_star]

[Stares at him, mood going from bad to worse.] Poisonous, blood-sucking roses. Wonderful. Is there any way to destroy them, or does that just release more toxin?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I really have no idea. I was fighting Aphrodite and I only dealt with the black roses and white roses. You could trying burning them or trying to chop them down but I'm not sure what that would do.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

If you try to destroy them the pollen will spread. Just get out of there.

[lamb_of_gold]

[Eyes growing wider as his brain puts stuff together]Why are the roses that far down? Hei! There are two empty temples between Leo and Taurus. Get down to one of them as fast as you can. Those roses are as deadly as they come. Don't worry about the cloth, just go!

[contract_star]

[Doesn't question, just nods and poofs off the Plane, only to poof back on a few minutes later.] They've blocked the doors.

Is there any way to destroy them?

[lamb_of_gold]

They...damnit. Burn them if you can but for the love of Athena, do NOT inhale their pollen.

.......... [looks pale, and not amused, yes problems with realities too~]

Such a romantic dead would be... being killed by roses.

[contract_star]

Well, I've never been one for romantic deaths. Death is death, it doesn't matter how pretty it is.

[Watching him, noticing how upset he looks.] Have you ended up in someone else's reality?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

Aaah what a things to say! [poses] The worst thing for an actor would be at the end of his life to die a normal death~

[rubs his eyes] As almost everyone lately...

[contract_star]

[Smiling a little,] Ah, well, for an actor I'm sure it's a different story.

Have things started to go wrong yet?

[bacchusprincess.livejournal.com]

[Mimicking his smile.] Entirely~

..... You're asking that as if it would be a common thing~~~

[leschath.livejournal.com]

...get away from the roses. Get down to Taurus and stay with Aldebaran.

[contract_star]

I managed to burn my way through them and get down to the Virgo temple. The roses beneath Pisces are starting to die out now. And I'm staying in--um, Gemini. But there have been more earthquakes and the others keep looking at me strangely.

...

U-um, I didn't hurt your armor...just so you know. It should still be in your temple.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

Oh, I wasn't worried about my cloth.

I'd get out of Gemini if I were you. Considering how strange it's been I wouldn't be surprised if the dimensional warp decided to appear in there again.

[contract_star]

Ah, well...thank you.

Dimensional...warp?

[leschath.livejournal.com]

The cloth was created to protect the Saint's body, it won't easily be destroyed. It shouldn't be reacting that way to you even if you're not the rightful bearer.

...yes. Gemini is a strange temple. The temples are also sometimes a bit alive so I'd suggest going to one of those that are occupied. I get along with Aldebaran. If you just bitch about Aphrodite's roses and act like a bastard he shouldn't get suspicious.

If he does though try flirting with him.
