[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?

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.

[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.

[contract_star]

I haven't seen any but the red ones, but now they've pretty much trapped me on the roof.

[Looking very worried now] That's not good. Try covering your nose and mouth with something to help filer out the poison. That's how Marin saved Seiya when he was nearly killed by those things...but she was using her mask so I don't know how well plain cloth is going to work against it.

[A little later, and Hei's quite a mess from escaping the roses, winded and coughing.] I burned my way through and made it down to a lower temple--Virgo. I-I think I'm okay...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[Relieved]Virgo's good. Shaka is called the man closest to god, he's really strong. He should be able to deal with the roses.

You should be okay in a few minuets. My friend Seiya breathed in so much poison he was knocked out but he was fine after he got some fresh air.

[Hei is somewhat rattled after all this.] If he's that powerful, he shouldn't have a problem. At least I hope not.

Ah...that's good to hear. I think I might have inhaled some of it...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

[With complete confidence]Shaka won't have a problem.

Since you didn't even inhale enough to knock you out, your perfectly fine.

[contract_star]

[Smirks a little.]

Ah...good. I never liked the idea of a slow death.

[Smiles] Mu said Milo was from a different reality than him, so if you don't feel good you might want to try visiting the Mu from Milo's world and see if he has anything to make you feel better....although that might feel a bit weird.

[Frowns suddenly] But this doesn't make any sense. I don't remember anything happening in Sanctuary until Syd attacked.

[contract_star]

Heh, I think I'll be alright. I'll talk to him if I start feeling worse, though.

[Frowns as well.] The Mu here, as well as Shaka and Aldebaran, are saying about the same. They say it makes no sense that the roses started spreading at all. [Pauses.] I think the people in Milo's world are suspicious of me.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

I thought the roses were connected to Aphrodite so they stopped growing when he...died.

It's not good if everyone's suspicious of you. Hopefully everything goes back to normal before anything really bad happens..

[contract_star]

...I don't suppose you have vengeful spirits in your world?

I think they're withholding judgment until they've found out why the roses reacted the way they did.

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

We do have spirits and things in my world, but I don't we why Aphrodite would be going after you. I'm the one he would be mad at.

Maybe the roses are like Milo's cloth, and know you aren't who you're suppose to be. If they saw you as a threat to Sanctuary they might have attacked since I think that was why Aphrodite grew them to do....

[contract_star]

Hm...

That would explain things. Fortunately the roses aren't growing past Scorpio, but there was another earthquake a little while ago...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

That is...really, really not good.

[contract_star]

[Sigh,] You're telling me.

You're still in your own world, right?

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

So far, yes. I really hope nothing happens...

[contract_star]

Well, if you haven't been switched yet, hopefully you won't be now. The Twins had better put a stop to this soon...

[shunofandromeda.livejournal.com]

They had better. Their experiment is starting hurt people.

[contract_star]

I'll have to have a word with them next time I see them.

[leschath.livejournal.com]

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

[contract_star]

Oh dear. [Understatement!!]

A bit late for that.
