Flowers of Heaven: sensitIV

[idolpro]

Something nudges at your ankles.

When you look down, you see you’re being headbutted by… a number of fluffy white, red-eyed rabbits that, unsettlingly, seem to have small human hands for front paws. They're doing their best to herd you toward an arched doorway that has opened in the thick brambles and leads to a winding path beyond.

Once you cross through, a gate closes behind you, and the voices of your fellow idols fade from your ears. It seems as if you’re on your own, now.

❀ ❀ ❀

Here, the brambles that surround your path have bits of torn lace caught in their thorns. Some of the fabric is splattered with what appears to be fresh blood.

It seems that the rabbits are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from gorse, Star of Bethlehem flowers, and water lilies.

Re: RESULTS

[idolpro]

[ Regardless of which flowers you placed in the lantern, the following flowers suddenly go up in vivid blue flame:

Vervain
Clematis
Chamomile
Wild Rose
Hollyhock
Mimulus
Water Lily

The fire has an unnatural feeling to it; when it leaps to the roses twining around the handles of the door, they aren't so much burned as unmade.
And the path carries on. ]

[ A searing pain wracks your body, spreading white-hot from the center of your chest—perhaps you clutch at your chest, or double over, and there, over your heart, is a gout of flame, the same unnatural bright blue as the lantern. The faint image of CLEMATIS and HOLLYHOCK can be seen within the flame, and the pain only intensifies as they curls in on themselves, wither, and then catch alight, burning bright before charring and crumbling to ash.

And then they’re gone. ]

Nng--!

[ One of his hands reaches forward and he clutches his chest...stumbling, and falling forward, even as he's been carrying Persephone. ]

Re: @LEVI

[bondsofsuffering]

[Oh shit, TRIES TO CATCH PERSEPHONE AT LEAST sorry Levi]

Re: @LEVI

[ IT'S FINE. He's just burning in flames. ]

Re: @LEVI

[forgottenmercy]

[is caught apparently, then, before he hits the ground and makes a small surprised noise.]

Re: @LEVI

[bondsofsuffering]

[He has faith in Levi's ability to uhhhh handle being on fire.

Yeah.]

...Are you okay at least?

Re: @LEVI

[forgottenmercy]

[nods] As, ah, much as can be expected...

[not really, no, but this is kind of definitely a Disaster now.]

Re: @LEVI

[forgottenmercy]

[is dropped onto the ground unceremoniously but scrambles up in a shaking pile of skirts to go to him to check on him.]

Re: @LEVI

[backstory]

[ He's still on fire. It's not stopping. But... it doesn't look as though it's harming him physically anymore.

That said... he looks completely lost. ]

Re: @LEVI

[forgottenmercy]

...Leviathan...[oh no. he can't put it out, though he tries, vainly trying to smother it with a layer of his frilly skirts. but will sing to him, soft and soothing, trying to give him something to focus on that least that isn't being on fire.]

Re: @LEVI

[backstory]

[ He's sort of just empty. He's alarmed but also just doesn't understand what is going on. ]

Hmm...? What... [ Is happening? ]

Re: @LEVI

[crystallinelore]

Leviathan!!

[still. holding luci but !!!!!!]

Re: @LEVI

[backstory]

[ He doesn't really seem to respond. He just keeps burning in blue flames... ]

Re: @LEVI

[crystallinelore]

[fucking! alarming!]

Does it hurt--!?

Re: @LEVI

[backstory]

Hurt...?

[ The flames...? ]

Before it hurt, but...

[ A searing pain wracks your body, spreading white-hot from the center of your chest—perhaps you clutch at your chest, or double over, and there, over your heart, is a gout of flame, the same unnatural bright blue as the lantern. The faint image of CHAMOMILE can be seen within the flame, and the pain only intensifies as it curls in on itself, withers, and then catches alight, burning bright before charring and crumbling to ash.

And then it’s gone. ]

Re: @DANTE

[devilmightcare]

-- Damnit!

[ with that curse he doubles over, clutching at his own chest, stumbling a step back ]

Re: @DANTE

[crystallinelore]

[fuck

Dante!!

Re: @DANTE

[devilmightcare]

M'fine -- m'fine --

[ steadying himself. steadily, pulling up, at least at first glance not seeming TOO out of sorts ]

Re: @DANTE

[crystallinelore]

[okay but that's almost more worrying.]

How do you feel-?

Re: @DANTE

[forgottenmercy]

[definitely tangled up with Lucifel.] Dante- [definitely very worried]

Re: @DANTE

[devilmightcare]

Phew --

[ straightening himself up, steadily, though

he does stare. when he uprights himself ]

Re: @DANTE

[forgottenmercy]

...how do you, ah, feel? [definitely a less stupid question than 'are you alright']
