Flowers of Heaven: Heart Soldier Senshi

[idolpro]

There’s a peeping and chattering overhead.

Fluttering down to greet you are a number of small and colorful creatures—almost like fanciful stuffed animals, except definitely fully alive and somehow capable of flight despite most of them not being winged. Cooing in a way that is unarguably adorable, they circle around your heads curiously before heading towards an arched doorway that has opened in the thick brambles, leading to a winding path beyond. They then chirrup at you insistently, waving their tiny stubby arms 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 hide the distant glitter of stars in their shadows, and some of the thorns have been replaced with colorful plastic.

It seems that the magic creatures are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from lotus flowers, blooming Star of Bethlehem, and stems of wild oats.

If we only have eight amongst us then one of us will have to burn a flower at least, but I don't want us to throw our own souls into the fire... The maths really isn't on our side.

We can at least use the crown to protect ourselves when they burn, if we do it strategically.

Perhaps you should wear the crown, and we can vote on your flowers, to give it the best chance.

...I'm okay with that. What about the third flower? We need three to burn to move on.

Re: DISCUSSION

The three highest voted overall will be burned. If we only vote those two, we reduce the chances our third vote will cause something else to knock them out of the top three... at the risk that it's more likely one of the flowers we have will be third. But I think that's the correct gamble.

Okay. They said if it's not clear who the top three are, they'd just burn all of them in a tie. We want to avoid that, but if everyone votes for the flowers in the crown they're wearing, it could balance out... It's worth the gamble.
