Flowers of Heaven 2: LiliS + Heart Soldier Senshi + WILD CITY

There’s a chirruping and giggling from around you; a peeping and chattering overhead; a clattering of hooves on the flagstones.

Gathering around you all are strange creatures. Materializing around LiliS are tiny people that have the look of being grown from plants and flowers: petal-colored faces, with leaf dresses and tunics that look as if they grew onto them, and blossom or dandelion-fluff hair. Another flock—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, not unlike Aibous—gather around Heart Soldier Senshi. Then, approaching WILD CITY is… one extremely tired-looking definitely-human man who is definitely riding a horse and who is absolutely not actually a disguised centaur. The Definitely Human Man curtly introduces himself as Sheriff Pferd, and gives a stiff "welcome back," but any further questions just make him shake his head and give a long-suffering sigh.
Apart from him, none of the creatures speak, but they chitter and nudge at you like they're greeting old friends, and usher you towards a gap that's opened in the thick curtain of kudzu vines and onto a winding path beyond.

Once you cross through, the vines grow rapidly to cover the open space 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 vines that surround your path are dotted with bright-blooming flowers, and some of the leaves seem to be brightly-colored plastic instead; the air echoes with occasional birdsong and the growls and yips of animals, though no other living creatures are anywhere to be seen.

The little creatures are carrying some things for you—the flower fairies carry a wreath of wild oats, chamomile, and hollyhock flowers, the colorful cute creatures a wreath of clematis, chamomile, and oak, and the man who is definitely not a centaur a wreath of clematis, wild oats, and mimulus. As they approach you, the air shifts in a strange way, and suddenly they have one wreath between them—all those flowers woven together into one, which they offer to you. They also have for you a collection of sixteen different flowers, and a small lantern of blue flame.

Chamomile and Wild oat. [ slightly amused ]

It doesn't seem there's much overlap.

Unfortunately not, but perhaps that is part of this game's design.

I'd think so. If they're aiming to get us to act unlike ourselves, this is the best way.

It seems we have no choice but to ask for volunteers. I don't mind being one of them.

And what do you propose you are volunteering for?

It states that we select flowers to burn in order to pass the obstacle, and those flowers represent pieces of ourselves.

It's nothing I would do lightly.

No, and I doubt we will be able to protect everyone's flowers. But at least we can try to minimize the damage that we take across everyone.

I don't share any flowers with anyone here. I can say nothing of the other participants, of course, but it seems logical to take one that isn't held in common.

Also, being the newest, any odd behavior will be less emotionally impactful.

Are you suggesting we burn one of your flowers should we start to run out of options?

Yes, something like that.

While I respect that you would sacrifice yourself for the rest of us, I cannot help but feel sad that you think it matters less because you are a new idol.

After all this, may I come get to know you better? Regardless of what happens in this place.

Certainly, that would be wonderful. [ bypassing the commentary on being new and thus expendable, he gets a feeling that discussion won't go over well ]

I'm going by Gentiana, Gent is also fine if you prefer. And yourself?
