Room 041 [Video] BACKDATED to Flower Gift Friday

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The video is short but the person behind the camera is frantic. Henry Townshend is not one to make use of volume but here it is. His voice breaks as he shouts and rushes around with his camera, digging through deep drifts of daisies and marigolds and cherry blossums in search of the Sharpedos that chill in the backyard pool.]}

They're back! They're back. No one believed me but it's happening again! Don't listen to any urges, use the buddy system!

_{[Of course he yells this while seemingly completely alone. Henry swishes his arm through what used to be pool water.]}

Mammon! Where are you?! Lust, help!

[Cloud hadn't been sure what to make of the flowers that were seemingly everywhere and this guy really isn't helping him not feel wary about why they were all over the place.

And piling up in drifts.]

..Are you alright?

[Video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry pauses, panting, trying to keep his 'Gear aloft and dig in the flowers without falling ass over teakettle into the pool himself.]}

No!

[Video]

[notachocobo]

...Why are you panicking over flowers?

[Video]

[no_ufo_ending]

Because they mean something worse is probably on its way! And I can't find our sharks!

[veggie_vamp]

[She has flowers decorated in her hair, of course.]

Wow, have you never seen flowers before?

Re: Video

[no_ufo_ending]

THERE ARE TOO MANY.

_{[No volume control here. None. It is gone.]}

Re: Video

[veggie_vamp]

But they're so pretty!

[Priorities, she has them.]

[This guy's either ecstatic or hysteric, she can't tell by the way he's shouting, but it looks like he knows something about what's been happening, so Mafuyu shoots him a voice message. Got to keep her eyes on the road, after all, especially in this... weather.]

Okay, I'll bite. Who's back?

audio

[no_ufo_ending]

The Fridays. This has happened before!

[dashdash]

...Uh. Yeah. TGIF.

[But dude, are you okay? Mafuyu gives him a look, not that he can see it with the screen turned off.]

It's Friday every week, you know? Every seven days.

Video/action

[a_sin_for_him]

...oh dear god.

[Upon opening the shades and seeing the falling flurry of flowers, Lust had simply closed her shades once more and decided not to go outside. It's one of those days.]

[At least until Henry's panicked call for assistance. She eyes the 'gear before simply looking out the window. The pool is covered in flowers. Are these going to stop at any point?]

I'll bring some Pokemon to help.

Video/action

[no_ufo_ending]

Hurry!

_{[If not for the Sharpedo's sake, his!]}

[a_sin_for_him]

[Lust joins Henry in the yard with Guttle and Vodka the Vaporeon along with her. It doesn't take long for her hair to fill with flowers, by the time she reaches the pool, it looks as though they've been messily woven into her thick waves.]

Henry, calm down. The sharks are fine, it's only flowers. We'll clear them and cover the pool.

[The odd weather is more annoying than anything else, really. But Henry is Henry, things can take him in unusual ways. She's grown used to it.]

Let's just be thankful it's not another storm of sharks.

[Envy's out in the city, shopping for trip supplies. Or...at least he was. Now he's just standing under a shop awning, trying not to get even more covered in flowers. He'd never get them all out of his hair!]

[Henry's post is hard to miss, scrolling through in search of answers. Please don't drown in the pool Henry.]

I don't think we need any buddies for this one...it's more annoying than anything.

[As he sourly brushes petals off his head.]

[video]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry almost glares at Envy. The dandelions in his hair ruin the effect.]}

We don't know if this is all there is to it.

[video]

[exeggutorhead]

It's been going on all morning, I'd think if there was something else going on we'd know by now.

There'd be people acting weird all over the network.

Next Friday we can worry.

[Al doesn't bother answering the Gear message, considering he's right there in the house still. Instead he comes out with a concerned-looking Otto following him, wading through the drifts of flowers over to Henry.]

Henry, are you alright?

action;

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry doesn't turn to face Al but the boy's voice does manage to calm him momentarily. Al is a voice of sanity in the hot mess that is Shark House.]}

No, Al. I can't find the sharks and I'm afraid something terrible is going to happen if these flowers don't stop.

action;

[armoredsoul]

[Al frowns and crosses his arms, then looks over to Otto.]

Otto, can you go in there and check to make sure they're okay under there?

[The Floatzel chirps and waddles over to dive into the pool, and Al reaches up to put a hand on Henry's shoulder.]

I don't think the flowers are going to hurt them, but we can try to figure out something. Maybe rig up a cover to go over the deeper end of the pool, and we can take turns scooping out the flowers that do get in?

--Henry, if you drown in flowers, I might have to disown you.

[Video]

[no_ufo_ending]

If you do, I'll make sure to haunt you and make everything you own smell like a grandma.

[Video]

[foolishwren]

Oh, no.

My greatest fear.

[Action, before Lust arrives]

[garbagechild]

<sub>[Henry called for Lust.]

[And Lust will come.]

[But first, a small purple-eyed shadow leans around the screen door wordlessly.]

[There are flower petals in his hair, because of course there are.]

[He says nothing, and only stares.]</sub>

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The Henry at the watering hole is currently unaware of Wrath's presence. He's still flailing around in the churning waves of petals and pollen in search for large carnivorous fish.]}

Come on, come on...

[garbagechild]

<sub>[If there was ever a time for the Jaws theme to start playing...]

[If and when Henry looks up, Wrath will have made it to the edge of the pool, padding on his SILENT MONSTERBOY FEET.]</sub>
