Flowers of Heaven 2: future is now + ☆ZRAEL

There’s a whirr and a series of quiet bleep-boops; an odd sound like stones grinding together.

Gathering around you all are strange creatures. Wheeling up to future is now are what seem to be friendly robots, almost like roombas, that have been given attachments of long, jointed arms with simple pincers at the ends, and hopping up to ☆ZRAEL are what look like a number of gargoyles, each no more than a few feet high and in the traditional gothic cathedral style—and all animate, their flesh made of living rock.
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 thick, velvety leaves, and the stems of the vines are traced with shifting, fiber-optic lines that cycle through the rainbow.

The little creatures are carrying some things for you—the roombas carry a wreath of vervain, honeysuckle, and oak flowers and leaves, and the gargoyles a wreath of lotus, clematis, and wild rose. 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.

I suppose so.

Let's hope there isn't too much overlap with the others, however.

I don't really know what to hope for.

[ Them sharing this flower might be the only thing that keeps Aliza from being super kamikaze about this ]

But if my flowers are lost and I act oddly towards you, please know it's not really me.

Of course. And the same goes for myself.

I guess I'm not going to be able to stop you from volunteering for this obstacle, so I won't try. So don't try and stop me, okay?

Just use the crown, if you could.

[Hmm. In that case:]

If you won't, I won't either, when it comes time to burn mine.

[ don't like that ] I didn't say that, just --

Why don't you wear it first?

I'll go later.

I'm not going to be okay with you getting hurt while I'm safe, but if I have to do it then I'd much rather wait until we're past the first one, at least.

Since we have an overlapping flower, the best bet would actually be to burn both flowers of someone with no overlap. For example, your unitmate with the golden hair or our Velleity.

You mean both flowers from the same person? Or one from each without overlap?

Re: DISCUSSION

[personal profile] numberedays 2022-08-07 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Those two have flowers that don't overlap with anyone else's in the room, so even if we burned them both no one else here would be hurt.

I think burning a part of themselves would hurt.

-- it's not possible to keep everyone safe, I know that, but...
