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.

( it has to be asked... )

How?

[ace_of_hearts]

The rain cooled it down before it's ready and the moon makes it that I tried to fix it, buuuuut it explodes.

[unladenswallow]

Is it not meant to explode?

[ace_of_hearts]

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?
