THE LOST DAYS... Round 1.
It's all darkness.
The feeling of nothingness, of being nothing. Of not existing. You have no thoughts, you will never have any thoughts again. While that fact is not comforting, because you cannot be comforted anymore, it is true.
There's a certain rest to being... nothing. And to both knowing and not knowing, that your time is done.
So it's all the more unfortunate when you feel, because you shouldn't feel. And the feeling is burning in your lungs, which you shouldn't have. Because you are- or were- nothing.
And then, you inhale a desperate gasp of air and open your eyes...

Re: AN EVENT...
What do we have t' do?
Re: AN EVENT...
Y'know. Heart concepts.
[he holds out a bottle.]
Can you spray this on the flowers? It'll kill 'em dead.
1/2
Kill them? No no no, Jason-senpai, we can't kill them. They're... you know. They're you.
2/2
If someone's trying to Nettle you or something, we have to get you balanced again, not make it so you don't have Flowers at all. It's fine—see!
[ She pulls up the corner of her shirt to show her own(?) tattoo: aconite and lotus curling up over one bony hip—though there are a few other blooms mixed in: tiny star of bethlehem snowdrops and buds of wild roses.
Kiri frowns a moment, briefly puzzled, then shrugs. ]
What I mean is: I've got aconite too. It's as much part of the world as all the other flowers. It's alright to love it just as much.
Re: 2/2
Then, I guess I don't need to lie to you, huh. You get it. I got a feeling, no one else here's gonna.
Re: 2/2
Re: 2/2
I don't actually want to get rid of them at all.
But I need you to give something to someone that'll make sure they thrive.
Re: 2/2
Ah, you know how we went up and saw Heaven's garden? It can be dangerous to touch the flowers there, because that's where they're the most real—as real as anything in the Lie could ever be.
I was worried, at first—that maybe you touched a flower, and it was becoming so strong in you, it was like you were only aconite, and not Jason-senpai.
I'll protect your flowers, though. I promise.
Re: 2/2
I just want a better way of dealing with 'em. Instead of being at war with myself.
[he reaches in to his pockets to pull out what looks like a small seed? but it's not quite. It's mechanical.]
I need you to pass a communicator to a guy known as Red Hood. Just ask everyone if they're Jason, and he'll pretty quickly correct you.
He's kinda proud of it.
Re: 2/2
That makes sense. And, you know... I care about you a lot, okay? I hope you'll let me help with more stuff, too.
Where can I find Red Hood? All I've seen so far was a hole I got pushed in, and I'm not sure how to get back, either.
Re: 2/2
Re: 2/2
You don't have to give me an easy job to make me feel better or something.
Re: 2/2
Long story.
And there's someone else I don't wanna tip off.
Re: 2/2
Just tell me where I gotta go. And you should let me know if you want to fight him later, or something! It would probably be fun.
Re: 2/2
He'd probably like it. [he seems appreciative as he gestures towards the exit.]
