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.

[sancrimony]

[ at once startles, surprised - he looks up and blinks, opens his mouth like he's registered noah's existence, sure -



but at once his expression becomes grim, brows setting into a tight knit ]

. . .

Noah-san.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

Yes.

[softly, worried. he wants to TAKE LUCIFEL'S HAND.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

[ what hand

the hand he's using, with its clenched fist, to punch himself square in the face with? ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

[...yeah he's trying to catch that before it makes impact but who knows?]

Lucifel!

Re: DISCUSSION

[bondsofsuffering]

[UHHH letting Noah handle this but UHHHH.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

[ ?????????? impact??????????????????????????? is not there??????????? ]

Just - give me a moment, please!

[ with a strain in his voice, he's trying hard to sound calm but he is not, ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

[nope he's being aggressively pulled into a hug!]

Don't hurt yourself! Talk to me.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

[ there's a moment of pause before he reaches to grab onto his clothes, grip tight in his return hug ]

. . . The smoke. Do you smell it. . . ?

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

[he is perhaps reassuringly solid, though more solid than a person should necessarily be.]

Only from the flowers. Not much at all. What of yourself?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sancrimony]

[ thanks for that, oak

mumbled ]

There isn't. . . you surely can't hear that, then.

Re: DISCUSSION

[crystallinelore]

[be nice.]

I cannot.

[softly, shifting just enough to stroke a soothing hand down his back.]

cw self harm/suicide ideation/cannibalism sorry

[sancrimony]

[ his grip becomes a little tighter then, head pressed to the firmer shoulder

it's fine. he could just tear his eardrums out and his eyes and his nose - no, if he just severs his own head, then he wouldn't have to hear it anymore

if it were split apart from his body once more, then it wouldn't be so noisy, it wouldn't be so painful, if he bit his own tongue off then maybe it would all cease, that taste in his mouth, that meaty flesh, that slick in his throat, the iron, the blood

sucks in a breath, taking a moment or two before he lifts his head up, just a bit

before definitely swinging his head down in attempt to hit his own face on noah's crystal shoulder ]

Re: cw self harm/suicide ideation/cannibalism sorry

[crystallinelore]

[yeah he has no way to stop that absolute galaxy brain move to be totally honest

jumping and trying to scramble back what the fuck????]

Wh--?!

[sancrimony]

[ YOU were here in this hug YOU cannot leave now he is still holding on very tightly

and more calmly, albeit with a grunt of pain. ]

[crystallinelore]

Don't--

[trying to at least like

grab lucifel's hair and pull him away from more head->shoulders bullshit??]

[sancrimony]

[ he barks out a little laugh, bitter ]

That hurts.

[crystallinelore]

Then don't slam your face on my crystal, damnit?!

[sancrimony]

Sorry, sorry. My apologies, but it isn't quite enough. Do you mind pulling harder?

[crystallinelore]

[gods

FINE!!

THIS MAY AS WELL HAPPEN!!!

yanks '-']

Like so?

[sancrimony]

[ he grunts again, head jerking back, and he takes a breath before slowly letting him go ]

. . . Again, please.

[crystallinelore]

[okay. headbutts him.]

Why, Lucifel?

[sancrimony]

[ owwwwwwww

he didn't actually expect that so he's reaching up to press his hands against his face, hissing ]

. . . Ittt . . . is too loud, and the stench is too strong, and my mind knows it isn't real but my body - doesn't know -

[ scrubbing his face, less stiff now ]

Thank you. Sorry.

[crystallinelore]

...'Tis all right. I would rather you ask it of me than just take it. Was that sufficiently distracting?

[sancrimony]

It did not quite hurt that much, but I do feel abruptly dizzy, and I think that will suffice.

[crystallinelore]

[--whoops]

My apologies.
