Special deliveries

Only one thing was on his mind at hearing Their command. Revenge.

How sweet it would be, watching those that he hated helpless in their struggle against their own mortality. It made him smirk, painted lips pulling into a cruel expression that twisted the rest of his features into that of malice. He would have his revenge at the behest of Them.

The flowers were not hard to find, nor were they difficult to gather, though he made sure to keep them clear of his home. Sakura and Raulin need not be dragged into this...they didn't need to know what he was doing or what he was planning. Though he did take his time, arranging some of the flowers into separate bouquets. Lovely little displays of the flowers that would exact his revenge on those who'd wronged him.

How sweet they smelled...

He would have them delivered by courier, not caring much for the ones that did the delivering. A few specific addresses that he'd remembered, kept a tally of, they would get their deliveries in a day or so. After that? Well, it was no longer in his hands, now was it?

OOC: I know Fier has made a lot of enemies over time, so if anyone wants to receive one of these death bouquets, feel free! Though it’s going to come in the form of an anonymous delivery.

Mining Myths

Oakes Colliery Disaster. Source: BBC

On this day in 1882, an explosion rocked the Trimdon Grange Colliery in County Durham, killing 68 miners. For most of the nineteenth and much of the twentieth centuries, the risk of fatal injury to miners due to accidents or disasters, was very real. For that reason a range of superstitions, traditions and myths grew up around mines. Examples include: the sweet smell of flowers underground meant a death-flower had taken root, and a prop collapse was imminent; if birds are found in the mine, particularly robins or pigeons, they were known as death-birds, signs of ill-omen; no one must whistle when in a mine, or say the word ‘cat’. Miners whose paths were crossed by rabbits, pigs, birds or people with squints, meant it was best for the miner to take the day off; and, naturally premonitions of disaster meant that the person who had the foretelling dream must not set foot in the mine, or calamity would indeed follow.

For good or ill, the actions of de-industrialising Conservative Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher in the 1980s, put paid to many of these mining myths forever.
