idolpro | in the flowers; (Persephone's ideal world)

Entry tags:

In the flicker of a candle-flame, in the stir of still water, in the fluttering of flower petals, there is a voice.

Once, there was a maiden...

[ladies and gentleman, we got 'im.]

Persephone!

[after a moment, stirs.] Ah...?

What a fitting world for you. The garden is lovely.

I, ah, worked hard on it. To, ah, make this place a sanctuary.

What are you reading?

Ah, here... [it's a copy of the Ink Dark Moon, which is a book she's seen him reading before.]

Oh, I still haven't read that yet.

Will you leave, once you've finished reading it?

Why would I, ah, leave?

Why are you staying?

This is, ah, a sanctuary. Those, ah, here need my care.

Who are they?

I, ah, took some ghosts of the abused and helpless under my care. They, ah, are living around my home.

Where is your home, in this place?

I can, ah, give you a map of the way there. Through the, ah, rest of the maze.

Oh, I would like that.

You know, there are people outside who will miss you, right?

They, ah, write to me...

I think I have a letter from you in my home.

Could I see it?

[hands her a map made of flower petals. it shows her the way through the rest of the maze.] Ah, here...

...I'll be right back.

[Heading for the house!]
