Mirror / all the swearing

[ace_of_hearts]

[Just in case things weren't bad enough already with the blood moon and Sanderson sisters, and kidnappings... Main Street erupts in a series of explosions. It turns out the sudden cold, rain, and blood moon with Ace's fire out of control, doesn't mix well with gross magic and booze mini-stills.]

Fuck fuck fuck shit fuck damn fuck sorry, don't-- [More explosions rocket off behind him.] Fuck.

I need... Shit I don't even know. Help maybe. I'd offer booze, but as you can see... [Winces as a high-pitched whistling shriek goes off and he frantically tries to get it to NOT EXPLODE.]

[....]

[...]

[Whew. At least one is safe. Maybe!!!] It doesn't like the weather. [It = Ace, actually. It's all Ace.]

Gross magic should be easier in a full moon, right? RIGHT?! Fuck everything.

Yeah!!! It's supposed to be booze!

Err not for Molotov cocktails, for actually drinking.

[unladenswallow]

Isn't this proof that it can be both, though? Two for one deal.

( lets make light of this. just... not light it up. anymore. )

[ace_of_hearts]

It already could have been explosive, but I wanted to drink it.

[unladenswallow]

Were you trying to create your own brand of booze or something?

[ace_of_hearts]

Yeah! I've been doing it with gross magic for a couple months!

[unladenswallow]

Did you change the recipe or something? It didn't do that before, right?

[ace_of_hearts]

No, it's the rain! And the moon. And the witches.

[unladenswallow]

( she flattened her expression slightly. the witches seemed to have bigger things on their minds than booze... )

Have you tried shielding the bottles with something to block out both the rain and the moon?

[ace_of_hearts]

[They turned his friend into a sandwich! Anything's possible!!!]

What?

Like... an umbrella?

[unladenswallow]

( okay, fair enough )

I was thinking more a roof but sure, an umbrella.

[ace_of_hearts]

[Lineface.] I guess indoors would be better but I don't have anywhere to put it all.

[unladenswallow]

Do you just store it outside? What if someone steals your drink?

[ace_of_hearts]

They can't, it doesn't finish until I finish it. Gross magic.

[unladenswallow]

Hn? What, they can't touch the bottles until you finish with them? ( gross magic means nothing to this newbie :x )

[ace_of_hearts]

I don't even put it into the bottles until I finish.

[unladenswallow]

Oh. ( duh. ) A- Anyway, are you going to be alright being around all that exploding shit? Maybe you can find somewhere with an awning you can borrow until the moon passes.

[ace_of_hearts]

I'm made of fire, explosions don't hurt me.

[unladenswallow]

... how?

[ace_of_hearts]

Well in my own world, I ate a devil fruit, here it's just monster magic and full moon.

[unladenswallow]

I'm not sure what a devil fruit is, but, it sounds less than pleasant. You were asking for help, so, what can I do? If anything.

[ace_of_hearts]

I guess it might be something that's only in my world. It's not so bad. You get a super power for it, mine was fire.

Can you help make sure no one gets hurt while I get to all the stills, and uh, help me assess the damage and how to repair it???

[unladenswallow]

That's an interesting fruit. People in my world tend to use potions for those sort of things.

I can do that, sure. I'll just follow the smoke to find you, shall I?

[ace_of_hearts]

Oh! That's blowing up now! Gross magic potions. They don't like the rain. And full moon.

Yeah, that'll probably work, sorry!

[unladenswallow]

I heard about the full moon thing although I'm not entirely familiar with it. Newcomer issues.

No big deal.

( she closed the compact mirror to sever the feed and headed along, following the trail of smoke as she said she would. it didn't take all that long to locate the bottles and the creator of their contents. she had ushered a few persons back before arriving but fortunately the place didn't look like there were too many stragglers around. leaning, ciri picked up a piece of broken still. ) Well, you certainly know how to bring attention to yourself, don't you?

[ace_of_hearts]

Do you know what class you are? It only affects us monsters.

Hahahaha... yeah... [Sheepish laugh and rubs the back of his head.] I don't try to! I wonder why that keeps happening...
