Flowers of Heaven: BARiTONES

[idolpro]

There’s a quiet fluttering from overhead.

Above you are... shifting geometric patterns of red and black. Watching them makes your head swim and your vision blur, but after a few moments they resolve into more coherent forms: owls with deep red eyes and a black-and-white zigzag pattern on their feathers. Swooping around you, they usher you towards 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 wine red thorns, and wisps of spiced smoke trail through the air.

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

[ You feel distinctly unsettled in this garden, as though there were an intruder here - or perhaps you are the intruder, a mismatched puzzle piece to the otherwise picture-perfect jigsaw. With every step you take, you feel a distinct pressure, as though glass were bending in your chest - or perhaps you are the glass - and there's an anticipation, as though the glass might break. ]

[Time to yell at the garden.]

[Yelling at leaves to get off her lawn apparently? Who knows.

But she just wraps her arms around herself and glares sullenly at the foliage with her tail lashing.]

[ You have now punched Paloma BARiTONES in the arm. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[marsascending]

I assume that was for science but hey, what.

[ because, listen, of course it was for science. ]

Ruling something out. Get over it.

[No comment on how it was completely unnecessary to use force.]

[ reaches over to pat her on the head.

of course it works but also it doesn't seem like a gentle familial headpat so much as a "ok i do actually want to check if you are having existence problems" ]

[Swats at her.]




Guess I'm just here.
