[Level 2]

[That smell. Its brimstone and fire. And its where the plants are! Oh dear, oh dear.

There is indeed a row of plants that are now on fire when you come to see what is happening. Its quite thick and hot, and there's nothing nearby to put it out. Indeed, it seems that whoever caused this put all watering implements as far away as possible.

Which makes no sense, except...is that flower blooming? In the fire?]


[Kitchen]

[There is a brand new item hanging around in the cabinets. There are three small jars filled with a viscous golden substance. Upon popping open the jars, you find that it's honey!...very lovely-smelling honey. There is a small note on each jar that says to help yourself, so...maybe you will. You do find, should you eat it that it is delicious...

(Eating this may have effects. Not that the person who put the honey there will tell you that.)]


[Magic]


[Letitia is in the Lab, working on....well, Astolfo and Akira will definitely know. Its the same type of strange inscriptions from when she was trying to heat her food up, and yet they are different from before. What could they mean?

Whatever they are, the lady is concentrated on them, perfect brows furrowed deep in thought. Perhaps she could benefit from help.]

Level 2....

[byanyother_name]

[The smell is incredibly heavy and overbearing to Kurama's keen nose. He bolts the rest of the way down when he catches it. It's only when he sees that the row of burning plants is isolated from the rest that he relaxes a little.

But...he does notice the careful distance of all the watering implements. Curiosity draws him closer despite the smell, close enough to see the blooming flower within the flames.

That's...fascinating. He's familiar with some plants that are resistant to fire, even drawn to it, but they aren't usually flowers and this looks almost like it needs the fire.

He extends a delicate thread of energy to the bloom, encouraging its growth.]

[newlawtolight]

[The flower seems...confused. At least, as confused as a quasi-sentient plant can be.

Soon enough, though, it blooms further, growing a bit larger as it does so. Its petals are black, and its center even more so. It's like a black rose, and its brethren seem to absorb the heat it doesn't meed to bloom into sharply-thorned bushes.]

[Given how many plants aren't even quasi-sentient, that's still pretty confused by plant standards.

Kurama stays a safe distance back from the fire, more or less, but watches intently, expression curious and appreciative.]

Well, aren't you lovely? I wonder who you belong to...

[And what it does. Because he doesn't believe for a moment that it does nothing but bloom in fire.]

[newlawtolight]

[And that is when the bee comes in. Its buzzing is pretty loud, so there's no way to not hear it. It starts to hover over one of the other black roses, letting out a strange sound.

It's...definitely bigger than a normal bee. It seems to emanate heat along with the rose.]

[byanyother_name]

[That is definitely not one of Goro's bees. Kurama frowns a little and steps a bit closer. Close enough that the heat prickles faintly along his skin.

The situation is strange enough that he activates his Scanning; not trying to read any thoughts, but just enough to test for the presence of any.]

[newlawtolight]

[There is a presence, but it's strangely weak and hive-like. There is a pull on it, though who knows where it leads.]
