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.

Some might considering revealing such information as transactional and for cheap entertainment and would prefer to risk a punishment instead. If that is their choice, I do not wish to deprive them of it.

I suppose we could have a long discussion on what choices we actually have in these sorts of games. Or if using the flowers to determine protection is simply an illusion of one.

[ Doesn't, technically, take issue with personal choices either, but man. ]

I mean, sure, if keeping your flowers secret only impacted you instead of your whole team—

[ Cuts himself off and purses his lips. Pushes out a breath. ]

Never mind. The worst thing we can do in a game like this is waste time instead of making decisions.

I do not think your concern to be misplaced. But I will not press if Caeli wishes not to speak of this matter.

I don't think it makes sense, we're gonna figure out what his flowers are in the suckiest way possible when they burn right off him, but these games always have a ticking clock.

From a logical standpoint, I do not think what you are saying is incorrect.

And yet---

When I made choices based only on logic, a logic which had not failed me previously, I almost lost many things dear to me.

[ A tight little shrug. ]

I've said my piece. If you think I'm still arguing, maybe something's wrong with whatever universal translator we've got here.

I do not think you are arguing. But it appears I have overstepped my bounds. My apologies, I will not push the issue further.

It's fine. It's not you I'm frustrated with.
