POST ✦ ( OLD RAZZLE DAZZLE. )

A quick question:

What are the confirmed symptoms for spontaneous combustion?

I remember reading in some books that before some people exploded into flames and died fiery horrible deaths, there were reports of seeing sparks around the person before the combustion occurred.

Is this true or not? I really need to know right now. As in ASAP as in now as in really right now.

[ ooc; ainsley has been given the subset ability of her prestidigitation - triggering a shower/rain of sparkles and glitter and stars around her when she's happy. it activated today so feel free to have your character see this happening to her in public before this post came up! ]

[ ?!?! when you put it that way- ]

Kind of. The sparkles aren't on me but, rather, surround me. At the very least I know how not to trigger them? I don't need to hide from sunlight itself for a very silly reason.

[ though she may lay low and stay away from the public eye. for a little while. honest. ]

so, what, you’re just not going to get excited about anything from now on?
good luck with that one
but i mean if you’re anything like the sparklepires then brooding comes naturally so you’ll be good to go

[ thank goodness he doesn’t actually know caelum or he’d deliberately try to trigger it. ]

I've heard about those books and the idea of having to be intentionally grumpy and sad all the time is so unappealing. What if your friend does an amazing job on something? Or you hear a really funny joke? Or your pet finally sits when you tell them to sit?

This is truly an evil curse on me. We are in the darkest timeline now. [ well. she can have a sense of humour about this if it is going to be annoying her for possibly the rest of her life soooo. ]

well
i don't know how to tell you this
but it looks like there is no cure for this one
it's time to give in and commit yourself to a life of sparkle motion

Oh nooo. Does that mean I should make an extra effort to brood and be tortured? If I have to be stuck with this, I guess that means there should be commitment to this.
