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

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.

Uh.

You know we can't fucking burn Star of Bethlehem again, right. You think this place is full of people assigned Aconite??

...I don't know. [ he looks aside. he's being a selfish fuck at the moment, and he definitely expects to be overruled. ] I don't know which one of us it would make sense to wear the damn thing... or which flowers we should take out, but... I don't want to see anybody important to me lose themselves completely, [ his head drops. ] that's all.

[ narrows his eyes and hisses. ] Not a word. I'll do whatever if you just keep your mouth shut.

Fine, but you get explain to everyone why we're not going for maximum coverage.

Everyone can direct their complaints to my mouth. [ he snaps his jaws and tries to avoid growling. ] I'll take all the heat, it's fine. [ ... ] I... don't want to lose the only other person I have now. [ since tea is leaving. ] I'm lucky enough that he's on my unit, so I'm willing to do whatever I can to protect him.

Perhaps. I'm always lucky to have found somebody that likes me for me. And I'd be lying if I said I haven't started enjoying your company. [ jabs him with his tail. ] You don't skirt around anything. I like that.

I know. I wonder if pretending ever gets tiring.
