Video
[The scene: some nameless stretch of woods. Those who have been to a party hosted by Marisa may recognize them as the woods behind her house. Marisa herself is not in view. What IS in view is a row of canning jars (like you'd put homemade jam in) and a bullseye made of notebook paper and markers pinned to a tree about twenty feet away. Some of the jars have blue lids, some have red. They are all full of...something. It's not clear what, but it looks like some kind of plant matter, maybe, and is glittering faintly.
Marisa speaks with actions, rather than words. Her arm reaches out from behind the camera and grabs one of the blue lid jars. She pulls a tab sticking out from under the lid, then throws it. Five seconds after being thrown, the jar explodes in a blast of blue light, leaving a black scorch mark on the ground, and cloud of glittering blue gas about ten feet across that slowly sinks to the ground. Impressive.
Next she grabs one of the red lids and gives it the same treatment. Instead of exploding, however, this one kind of comes to a halt, spinning rapidly about two feet above the ground, before glowing bright blue and firing a narrow beam (maybe 4 inches thick) of magical energy that nicks the edge of the bullseye she had set up.
Finally she spins the camera around so you can see her face.]
So here's the deal. Anyone can use these things, though the beam ones need some kind of magical talent to aim. As we deal with all kinds of unreasonable shit, but not all of us are unreasonable people, I'm making these available to anyone who feels the need for a few.
Here's the rules if you want one:
1. $30 each, to cover the cost of materials and labor
2. All transactions must be done publicly over the network, so everyone knows who has them.
3. These are only for defending yourself against aliens and monsters. If I find out you're using them to hurt people, I hunt you down and blast you to bits.
That's it!
[That's not it, however. The source of these mystic grenades? The collection of live magic mushrooms Marisa got from a recent echo. She has been growing them in her back yard, and since she hasn't QUITE done as good a job as she thought she was, they're starting to spread beyond that. These mushrooms can only grow near sources of magic. That means they are most likely to be found growing near the homes of any reincarnates with magical powers of their own.
Magical mushrooms do not behave like normal mushrooms.
- Fairy rings can randomly teleport people who walk into them somewhere within a mile or so.
- Some mushrooms cause random intense emotions in people who inhale the spore clouds
- Some mushrooms get up and hop away from people who try to pick them
- Some mushrooms talk (random gibberish, giggling, etc.)
- Some mushrooms cause hallucinations that people can see whether they've inhaled spores/eaten them or not. So, like, magical illusions of pretty colors and shit.
Actually eating them (if you're stupid enough to do so), will probably make you violently sick. If you take them beyond the echo barrier, they lose all magical properties and taste AWFUL.
Feel free to springboard off this post with encounters with the mushrooms, or to make your own post about them!]

[Offscreening is legit. Danielle would not want to give her time to question if selling a 13 year old a suitcase of grenades was a good idea.]
