[ Whenever there's an experiment, it always seems like Lightning gets a few days to contemplate the rest of the village going mad before anything happens to her too, doesn't it? It's not very amusing to her at all, especially considering she's spent the last few days fretting and waiting. She's been trying to stay out of trouble, but...

A Farron is not easily cooped up for long. Before she knows it, she's pacing her entire residence, messing in the kitchen for no reason, sitting on the floor with Baldr while staring at the ceiling, and-- ugh, stepping outside for just a minute won't hurt, right? Just as long as she avoids any weirdos who might attempt to pull her into something. Besides, everything seems normal right now. She feels normal.

With marked determinated, she walks out the front door and-- FGFDUAGFA, SOMETHING IMMEDIATELY FALLS ON HER HEAD??

And yet as soon as she leans down to see what it is, the woman goes stiff, looks up to gape at the cloudy sky, and then takes off at a sprint in the direction of the village square. Shortly afterward, if you happen to be anywhere outside: ]

Oh! Don't go!!

[ Hello, there is a woman with feathers stuck in her hair and dressed all in horribly clashing yellow trotting up, looking quite upset. And a little annoyed too, but... that's to be expected, given who this is. STOP BEFORE SHE FORCES YOU TO!

(Lightning is imitating Chocobo Loco/Chicken Little/Henny Penny for the event, sooo... characters are welcome to be either an innocent or the Fox in the story, if you wish. Alternatively... she will also probably play along as well, for those already affected by their own thang.) ]

.....I doubt it's ending, miss.

Luceti might be a confusing place but I think we would know, would we not?

[thestormishere]

I do know!

[ Her frustration is highly evident as she draws even with him, her back straight and chin lifted to look down her nose at him. Seriously- does she look like the kind of woman who would freak the hell out if there wasn't something awful going on?? ]

[falenandawn]

How? [Wow she's a bit intimidating for running around dressed like that.]

[thestormishere]

[ Alright, prepare yourself for ultimate proof, girly-man. Without another word, Lightning reaches into her pocket, pulling out with notable aplomb: a piece of wrapped hard candy!

...?? ]

[falenandawn]

[What are you talking about he's not girly at all.]

......Candy?

[Candy proves the world is ending?]

[thestormishere]

[ Yes, definitely. ]

When I came outside, this fell on my head.

[ Maybe she's... seeing something he isn't, because boy is she adamant right now. ]

[falenandawn]

.....So.... candy falling on your head means the world is ending?

[Nooope, not getting it.]

[thestormishere]

It means the sky is falling. [ Like, duh? Her lips press together, eyes narrowing as she stares at him. ] It's kind of hard to have a world without a sky.

[falenandawn]

...But it's candy.

[Please, explain this logic.]

[thestormishere]

And it fell on my head when I came outside.

[ What else is there to explain...? ]

[falenandawn]

Someone might have tossed it....?
