Flowers of Heaven 2: BAD END=DEAD END + Taisho Roman Revolution + BARiTONES

[idolpro]

There’s a quiet fluttering overhead; a papery rustle from around you; a nudge at your ankles.

Gathering around you all are strange creatures. Materializing around BARiTONES are shifting geometric patterns of red and black, which become owls with deep red eyes and a black-and-white zigzag pattern on their feathers. Another flock—of living origami animals of all kinds, each made from a unique square of colorful paper—gather around Taisho Roman Revolution. Then, clustering around BAD END=DEAD END are… bombs??? covered in spikes, with spiky little legs, vibrating and glowing as if on the verge of explosion.
None of the creatures speak, exactly, 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 have wine red leaves, sometimes wound through with barbed wire; it looks like someone's hung prayer strips along them, written in an indecipherable language.

The little creatures are carrying some things for you—the owls carry a wreath of Star of Bethlehem, wild rose, and alyssum flowers, the origami animals a wreath of vervain, aconite, and water lily, and the bombs a wreath of aconite, gorse, and hollyhock. 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.

Why are there so many people.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Heyyyy, that's what I wanna fucking know!

Re: DISCUSSION

[abovefate]

At least don't get in the way.

Re: DISCUSSION

[branchedout]

Pardon the intrusion.

[ reading over the instructions. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[abovefate]

You're not excused.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

It is quite lively isn't it?

Re: DISCUSSION

[abovefate]

Too bad this isn't a game where we leave behind the dead like last time.

Re: DISCUSSION

[ plops his giant horse ass down and snorts. ] Doesn't this sound fun. I do think we should attempt to choose flowers that would maximize our changes at hitting a good number of people... and maybe attempt to steer clear of our own. We don't necessarily need to share, but vague guesses can certainly be made.

Re: DISCUSSION

[abovefate]

I am giving absolutely no hint as to what my are. Aside from you everyone can die here for all I care.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

I didn't think you would, Tsukiakari. However if we end up burning one of yours I'll drag the other out of you.

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

It would be very unfortunate to lose ourselves.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

Agreed. I'd like to keep that from happening... [ but scaramouche is being difficult. ]

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Ugh, I hate this guessing game shit.

I got Aconite and Star of Bethlehem, whatever the fuck that is.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

It would help if we had some overlapping ones, but I got neither of those... [ he considers keeping his own a secret, but his own past isn't really that much of a secret anymore. ] I got Hollyhock & Honeysuckle.

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Overlap would just make it too fucking easy, wouldn't it.

Anyway, that's four to try to avoid so far.

Re: DISCUSSION

[branchedout]

This's prolly the best way to go 'bout that.

I got Wild Rose an' Hollyhock.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

At least there's one...

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

[when did he even come back. don't mind him just being a watchful bird listening to the others here (there are too many people) talk.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[carrionmywaywardsun]

Heyyyy, Sakura. What flowers you got?

Re: DISCUSSION

[gravitydefier]

Water lily and vervain. [soft. to the point.]

Re: DISCUSSION

[temperedinpride]

My such a diverse party.

Re: DISCUSSION

[abovefate]

This is terrible.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

It could be worse.

Re: DISCUSSION

[586]

Are you going to spill the beans on your flowers or leave us guessing? I'm making a list, so tell or don't tell...
