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.

[ The fire that's consumed Levi hasn't stopped. Instead, it's continuing to completely just engulfed him. It seems it doesn't hurt anymore, but---

He looks more than lost and a little confused. ]

[ braving his best smile for him, even though he can see blood out of the corner of his eye, even though he smells the smoke, even though he hears the screaming ]

Family, yes.

It's a little awkward to explain, but could I ask you to please have your trust in us?

This is gonna sound bad, but can I get the crown this time around?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

It would protect you and Izanagi, would it not? How is that bad?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondsofsuffering]

[Oh hello he heard his name.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

Is that all right with you?

Re: DISCUSSION

[devilmightcare]

Well, yeah, I think it's the obvious choice. Just feels weird volunteering myself.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

'Tis a fair point, though. I see no issue with it.

Re: DISCUSSION

Re: DISCUSSION

Re: DISCUSSION

[Sekhmet continues to glare and fume, and the loss of so many flowers has her even more on edge. It's probably not a good idea to talk to her.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[idolpro]

[ Hey, you didn't even vote yet, but—
The Gorse flower bursts into vivid blue flame, and is gone.

The rabbits go into something of a panic at first, but then they notice: the gates are now partially aflame with that same blue fire.

They indicate to you, somehow speaking directly to your minds, that just one flower will be enough, at this point, to make it the rest of the way. ]
