Has anyone found a way to burn things yet?

[ The voice that comes over the network is clearly exhausted, an almost husky rasp to the words that are slightly muffled, as if her mouth might be covered by a layer of fabric. ]

Because I'd love to get rid of these damn flowers and burning them sounds really cathartic right now.

[ She sounds weary, frustrated, and a little bit sick. And for good reason: one of the perks of being a vampire is an enhanced sense of smell. ]

Alternatively, are there any magic users out there who could set up a ward or something to keep this smell out?

Hello, Elena. Does regular fire not work? I believe it is still hot, even if it doesn't emit light. Otherwise there are several perfumes that might mask the scent, though I'm not sure if that would give you more of a headache.

If it helps, I think they are only supposed to bloom for two days.

Find a flamethrower, some fuel, and point me in the right direction.

Uh, hi. I'm not sure I can set up a ward like that. Not yet. But I've heard that mint is good at masking a smell like that? So, you could try to,uh, maybe put toothpaste on cotton balls or something and stick them up your nose?

[ So he's not the only one smelling that awful reek? Thank goodness, Riku's not sure he wants to know what's so dark that it smelled like the waste pit at the back of the butcher's. On the other hand, sounds like she's really having a hard time with it.

He blames location. Down by the lake, there's a lot more movement of wind off the water, not coming up from the forest, so it's a little more bearable - and a lot more cold. ]

Flowers? That's what stinks?

It's gross.

[Eleven sounds annoyed more than anything, like the universe has wronged her more with this than with death.]

Like... boys farting.

Action, because reasons

[worthallthis]

[At some point, the Soldier has figured out where Elena lives, because it shows up there with a tiny cheesecloth-wrapped package. It looks a little haggard, itself. (The smell of dead, rotting bodies brought up a really unpleasant memory when it first smelled them. Why do all of its memories suck.)

This one did come with a potential solution, though, so at least it was useful as well as horrible. As soon as she opens the door, it holds out its hand to offer the tiny cheesecloth-wrapped package, and advises,]

Put this inside whatever you're wearing on your face. Blocks the smell some.

[It's a little packet of smelly herbs it put together.]

Give me a break.

There's a huge fire in the middle of the town. Can't you put two and two together?

Oh, heavenly siren of our ghost town airwaves! If anybody gave you the answer you were hoping to hear, please pass it on! This is not the sorta bouquet I wanted at my funeral!

[Spewed with the half-frantic energy of someone who can't decide whether they're scared to death or kind of enjoying the thrill.]

[ As a recently arrived, Elizabeth's been determined not to complain, but she will certainly commiserate. ]

Magic... wards? Do things like that really function?
