BUBBLE TROUBLE IN EBONHIDE!

Having been deprived of nice, relaxing bubble baths for far too long, Kazim Raza adds a self-concocted Potion to his morning shower. What he wants is a bubbly break from end-of-year stress... what the Ebonhide boys get is a washroom FULL OF BUBBLES.

Within thirty seconds the bubbles reach the ceiling of his stall; within a minute they've reached every shower stall and are frothing out of the windows; within a minute and a half they're flowing into the toilet stalls and out the front door.

Ebonboys abandon toothbrushes and beauty regimens, fleeing to the relative safety of the outdoors. Over the next few minutes others join to watch as pale rainbow-hued bubbles take over the washroom.

If nothing else, the bubbles' mild scent of jasmine and sandalwood is pleasing.

HOW THIS WORKS

This is completely optional! (Obviously!) If you would prefer your character is not inconvenienced by bubbles, they don't have to be!

Although only the boys' washroom is under siege, the bubbles and commotion are noticeable to others around Ebonhide.

The bubbles begin shortly before breakfast and last for fifteen minutes. The potion produces new bubbles even after Kazim shuts off his shower tap. After ten minutes the bubbles stop reproducing and spend the next five minutes popping until none are left.

These are pesky bubbles! You can pop them but it won't do much good! Charms won't work! Shouting doesn't intimidate them! The only thing to do is wait.

Smelling the bubbles may have a calming effect on observers. It's not a potent feeling—it's like pulling on warm socks that just came out of the dryer, or having just had a really good hug, or completeing an important task that's been weighing on you for weeks. (It's up to you if you want your character to feel the effect! It lasts half an hour.)

Casper had just wanted to take a fucking shower. When the bubbles began overflowing from Kazim's stall and making their way into his he'd stopped washing, wrapped a towel around his waist, grabbed his clothes, and gotten the hell out of there at a brisk walk. He was not going to flee from bubbles. Now he stands outside of the washroom, dripping and glaring daggers at...pretty much everyone.

He isn't embarrassed to be half-dressed and have his lean, athletic figure on display but he is visibly irritated at being inconvenienced. And the magical properties of the bubbles have either not had any effect on him or have barely taken enough of an edge off for it to matter.

Damnit, Kazim.
