exsilium | 2nd Bloom ❁ [Backdated to the morning of March 1st -> Video/Text/Action to those showing up]

_{[The feed opens up to a room with pink walls with plush, very comfortable looking couches, as well as more intimate looking tables and chairs for two or three. Everything is clean, immaculate, and cozy. It then shifts to show flowers, many, many kinds in bouquets of different sizes, already in vases, corsages, wreaths, and other sorts of arrangements.

Flora appears in front of them all with a sunny smile.]}

Hello, everyone!

Spring hasn't arrived yet, if it ever really will in the way I'm used to, at least, so I thought why not try to make a little of our own? The flowers are free to absolutely anyone that wants them. Even if it's just a for a short while, I hope you can take a little of spring with you and have brighter days.

_{[The feed then moves to display all sorts of cakes, treats, and teapots before she appears again, scratching her cheek a little bashfully.]}

Oh, and um, it's also my birthday today, so if anyone wants anything here, please, feel free to help yourself. You're quite welcome to stay a while, too, if you like. I'll be here all day.

Farewell and see you soon, perhaps!

_{[The feed cuts off. There are directions provided in text. And if there was any doubt as to which building it is, it's got flower baskets hanging around the door of it, window boxes, as well as potted plants to either side of it.

And around it.

...and down the pathway.

Yeah. So. Shouldn't be too hard to miss.]}

_{[Sigh. At least she's learning.]}

Um...the dragons?

Are they capable of walking on two feet?

You know, I don't know if they all can, actually. There seem to be a bunch here.

They probably can, so it still counts.

Well, I don't want to assume anything, and it seems to be a secondary form, not what they'd call their true ones.

And my natural state is lying face down on the floor, either asleep or dying. Still counts.

W-what do you mean dying?

I mean dying. Dead. In a pool of my own blood.

That's awful, Sollux! _{[Yeah, he's here now, but that is still terrible!

But...]}

...Um. How are you here, though? Is this one of those things that hasn't happened, yet?

No, it's happened like three times already. I'm due for a fourth soon. That one's going to be really messy.

But...how? Are you some kind of immortal? _{[She doesn't understaaand. :c]}

Well, the first two were because I had two extra lives. The one here is because we all have infinite extra lives.

We do _{[This is good to know, she supposes, but she never planned on dying. Then again, who does, really?]}

Those two extra lives, though...is that a troll thing? _{[It sounds like something out of one of Tecna's games, or something.]}

No. It's a game thing. The two thing was because I'm "special."

A game thing? _{[This just confuses her.]} So...you didn't really die?

_[Wait.]

Wait, was this a magic game of some kind?

Edited 2013-03-20 08:58 (UTC)

No, I did. The game was real.

I'm sorry. _{[She really is, too.]} How did you even end up playing such a thing?

I programmed it. I had to. It was fated.

_{[Flora blinks, surprised. Admittedly, she knows very little about Sollux, but that he'd subscribe to something like fate is unexpected.]}

There was no way you couldn't have? What would have happened if you didn't?

Everyone on my planet would have died. Instead, only twelve of us survived.

[Silence, and then bitterly added:] I thought... playing it would save everyone. The whole planet. I knew the whole thing was fucking dangerous, and that we'd probably die during it, but I thought at least then we would have saved everyone else. ...

[This is actually the most he's told anyone who wasn't there about it. Mostly because no one else asked.]
