Flowers of Heaven 2: pep!pep!

[idolpro]

Strange: there's a pile of pencils, pens, and crayons at your feet. Where did that come from?

As soon as you take notice of them, though, they move of their own accord, caps popping off to draw into being a collection of simple, animate doodle people. They can’t talk, but wave at you like you're old friends, and instead begin hurrying off in their wobbly way toward 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 hung with old newspaper clippings and photos, all too faded with age to properly make out.

It seems the doodle people are carrying some things for you: a collection of sixteen different flowers, and a small lantern of blue flame, and a wreath woven from acacia, gorse, and mimulus.

[he was in pain but he's fine now!!!]

Nice ya was protected!

Re: DISCUSSION

[paradiseunboxed]

...Yes, I was. So in that regard, last round's strategy was successful.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

Now we just gotta do it for someone else!

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

[trying his best to focus through the fucking flashbacks. guess this is just Tuesday, or was before he came here.] Ugh...this again.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

Want me t'knock ya out?

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

No. It's just inconvenient.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

What ya wanna do?

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

Ugh...

We can't do anything for Lava-chan right now...

I don't want the rest of my soul to burn, but I think we're all in the same boat.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

You or Saff ought be protected....

Re: DISCUSSION

[paradiseunboxed]

[nnnnodding, hesitantly]

...Since Water Lily has already burned, the maximum number of flowers I can lose in subsequent rounds is now one.

...Therefore, those who have already lost a flower should be prioritized, in order to prevent total flower loss.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

Just gotta pick which.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

...Saffron still has both her flowers, right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

Yeah yeah.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

So the choice is 'protect my one,' or 'go scorched earth on other people.'

Re: DISCUSSION

[rugpull]

Yes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[identitypolitics]

I do, yeah. Fine so far. You've just got the one left, so maybe we should try and make sure you don't lose it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

Selfishly, I'd like not to lose my entire soul. But we could always protect both yours and burn those two.

Re: DISCUSSION

[identitypolitics]

If you'd like to not lose your entire soul, I think we know what the choice is. We give you the crown, burn the remaining one, and then pick... oh, whatever. Wild rose, honeysuckle?

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

We might as well pick randomly at this point. Sounds good.

Re: DISCUSSION

[identitypolitics]

Scale of one to ten, how bad does whatever just happened feel.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

Nine. Maybe nine and a half?

Re: DISCUSSION

[paradiseunboxed]

[putting the flower crown on Shikon's head]

Re: DISCUSSION

[ourowndeliverance]

[kind of...adjusts it? what else is he going to do with it?] ...thanks.
