A lovestruck theater kid — Rift of Chloris/Flora — has her crush on Carlos Ruiz reciprocated. The joy is too much for her Mythos to contain, and suddenly Seavan in January erupts into an out-of-season bloom. Students break into Shakespearean entanglements, glitter-pollen spreads like wildfire, and soon the city teeters between a ridiculous love riot and a deadly flowering plague.

To spread unchecked joy and bloom until Seavan is consumed by an Avatar-level domain of compulsive love and floral suffocation.

• Spread (5): Each step infects new groups (school → families → city).
• Bloom (5): Each step makes the rash more dangerous (rash → flowers → wounds → lungs).
• Containment (3): Can be reduced through medical or mythic intervention.

• Awkward Crush Drama: NPCs suddenly confess feelings, swap partners, or serenade the wrong target in comic farce.
• Embarrassing Displays: Glitter-pollen bursts during class, sports, or family dinners. Social chaos builds pressure to act.
• Surreal Affections: Students fall in love with trees, statues, vending machines, or mascots — funny, but unsettling.

• Deadly Bloom: A PC or beloved NPC begins suffocating on petals or vines; immediate action is required.
• Love Riot Escalates: The infection spills into Seavan proper — commuters riot, strangers duel for affection, emergency services are overwhelmed.
• Carlos as Catalyst: His Rift powers resonate with Chloris, creating an unstable feedback loop. Together they risk Avatarization if unchecked.

• Love in the Air: When PCs spend extended time in an infected zone, roll +Face Danger or mark a Status like *Distracted Crush-2* or *Compulsive Infatuation-3*.
• Blooming Wounds: Any harm taken by infected NPCs or PCs manifests as flowering injuries. Treating them requires both medical and mythic attention.
• Pollen Cloud: Any chaotic scene (pep rally, gym class, city protest) may burst into a glitterstorm, spreading the infection to all present.
