Flowers of Heaven: pep!pep!

[idolpro]

Strange: there's a pile of pencils, pens, and crayons at your feet. Where did that come from?

As soon as you take notice of them, though, they move of their own accord, caps popping off to draw into being a collection of simple, animate doodle people. They can’t talk, but instead begin hurrying off in their wobbly way toward an arched doorway that has opened in the thick brambles and leads to a winding path beyond, waving their arms in the air for you to follow.

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 seem to be hung with old newspaper clippings and photos, all too faded with age to properly make out.

It seems that the doodle people are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from clematis, chamomile, and mimulus flowers.

[Hasn't heard anything yet, eyes drawn in mild alarm to the blue fire]

Pink-kun? Are you all right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

--Huh? Ah, yeah, it's just been a while since I've seen S--..well it's demon fire. So that's expected, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

I suppose it must be? It looks like kitsune-bi. But I didn't think that was real. Well, not really.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Nah, the blue's pretty distinct.

Re: DISCUSSION

[wonderlandgirl]

I don't think I've ever seen it before.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Mmm, ya wouldn't see demons at home, after all... It ain't exactly common where I'm from either, it's just. uh... got History.

Re: DISCUSSION

[romanticlove]

Are you okay?

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Mmm. Yeah, it just feels like blue fire's kinda a bad sign here...

Re: DISCUSSION

[romanticlove]

Is it somehow different than normal fire? Other than the color.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Where I'm from it's literally The Devil's fire.

[romanticlove]

Ah. That sounds like something Hunters might use against Vampires where I'm from.

[worldlyafflictions]

They probably would, if it could be controlled that easy.

[romanticlove]

What is it used for where you're from?

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

Pink, ..?

Are you, ah, ...what's wrong?

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Haha, it's just weird when pieces of home show up here like this. But I guess it's not that unexpected ta see blue fire in hell...

Re: DISCUSSION

[puzzlers]

[ aaaand he's just going to look over his shoulder at the blue flame. ] Is there a special meaning to it, since I think this is the first time we've come across it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Where I'm from, a true demon flame like this can basically burn anything in existence... I guess it's perfect for using on soul metaphors...

Re: DISCUSSION

[idolpro]

[ That flame is definitely #cursed.

But if demon fire feels wicked, then this isn't that. Instead, it feels wrong—like something that Should Not Be. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

[Blue fire's honestly downright friendly depending who wields it, but he expects it to be more... sssoul-cleansing? in that "capable of burning anything in existence" kind of way so... Wrong or uncanny to humans definitely tracks...]

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

Hm, so daemons are associated with fire in your world.

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

Nah, they exist for all elements, there's just .. a Particular one, that's tied ta blue flames.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

Which would that be?

[can guess but other worlds and religions]

Re: DISCUSSION

[worldlyafflictions]

The most dangerous one--'cause that's just how things go I guess.

Re: DISCUSSION

[tenebraecious]

I would not know, but I trust your knowledge.
