vibrafinal | 7th moon [voice/action]

You could always leave them a message in the Welcome Center'S guestbook, unless you'd rather not have them find you first.

[This one is quite attached to them all, really. Saving them from destruction and everything.]

...Not at the moment, I admit. Though I suppose it could simply be called "whisperbloom", if it came down to it.

I think I would much rather find them first. It would be more of a shock that way for them~

[Well, to each their own and all that~ This one prefers to terrorize them rather than save them.]

"Whisperbloom" lacks the alliteration you get with Whisperweed however. Though Whisperweed might be insulting to a bloom so beautiful, it does seem to suit it well in the alliterative naming sense.

I find that arriving in Luceti is a rather great shock in itself, but surprising others does have its advantages.

[Will he need to give speeches about rights and equality?]

Sound, voice, speech, words... I know too little about botanical terms to find an appropriate one starting with those letters.

Oh that's right, they may already be surprised by showing up in a place like this so suddenly. All the more reason to make sure I find them as soon as possible so to add to the shock~

[If he wants to be met with a parasol to the face, he can go right ahead~]

Perhaps I could help there then. "Speechsepal" might work, given the name references the flower's ability and petals. Another option is "Soundscape", which I think has a very nice ring to it.

They might be quite unhappy with you if you do that. Could you hold your own against a group of them?

[...A parasol should hurt less than a frying pan, right?]

It does indeed. If anyone from Damcyan arrives in Luceti, you'll have to share it. Who knows, it might become popular, and you'd get the credit for it.

They might be unhappy? Excellent~ I do believe I could withstand a group of my world's inhabitants, though I suppose that depends on who shows up...

[I should imagine so... Though she might consider hitting him with a frying pan if he's asleep and he doesn't want to wake up.]

I have never considered naming a new plant and becoming known for being the originator of it's name. It's actually quite an appealing prospect. At some point I shall have to try growing my own unique flowers and then naming them.

They might be people you get along with, if you are lucky. Perhaps even friends or family.

[Ah, but if he was to be woken up by a frying pan, he'd be stealing one of his friends' character trait. That'd be rude.]

Being Luceti might even make that easier, considering the number of plants from different worlds you can sometimes find. I doubt anyone has try to crossbreed them together.

Friends? Family?! Not possible. I have never had anyone like that~

[Very well then, she'll stick to using a parasol ~~and perhaps burning his castle down so he develops an innate fear of fire he won't overcome until later-- what?~~]

That is very true! Do you have any other sort of plants native to your world? Or perhaps you know of someone who possesses a foreign plant themselves~?

...That's a shame. Does this mean that any arrival from your world would be a bad thing?

[~~...If she tries to force him to sacrifice himself by turning into a statue, he's getting out of here.~~]

I've not yet seen a plant from my world that appears uncommon here, but there are a few gardens in the village. Their owners might have more information.

By no means would it be a bad thing~ It might actually be quite pleasant! I'm sure there will be plenty of fun to be had if someone I know shows up.

[~~She wouldn't ask that much. Maybe. You spoony paladin.~~]

Ah yes, I have noticed a fair number of gardens here. I am pleased to see the residents of this world enjoy an abundance of flowers in their village~

...That sort of relationship, then. Try not to earn the village's anger through collateral damage.

[~~Spoony's already taken! ...So's knifey, frying pany and ladley. Forky?~~]

And the fact that those gardens grow properly and stay intact proves that we can build some semblance of stability here, too.

You caught on in the end. Don't worry, I'll try not to cause too much damage, providing someone I know shows up. If not, I'll settle for a bit of fun with any old person again~

[~~...I'll settle for forky. Or sporky, that's slight more spoonish.~~]

Are flower beds real a sign of stability though? I never saw my own gardens as something like that.

There is always the Battle Dome, if nothing else. You could replicate their abilities there.

[~~So stylish, too.~~]

They are, if they've not yet been uprooted by experiments or attacks.

Battle Dome? ...I daren't say I have visited the Battle Dome as of yet. But it sounds very interesting.

[~~Sporky it is then, you sporky paladin.~~]

I have heard of these 'experiments' before, but I was not aware they would involve the uprooting of gardens. It must be such a pain having to replant everything.

It certainly is. Not only does it offer great possibilities, but the technology it uses is also extremely fascinating.

[~~Sporky~ sparkly~ paladin!~~]

Yet it must be less of a pain than not being alive to replant them.

The use of any sort of technology must mean this Battle Dome is quite modern. Is it of kappa design?

[~~Hey. You can either be sporky or sparkly. Don't get greedy and pick two titles.~~]

I suppose being dead would be quite the bother, though you could always plant higanbana along the Higan riverside~

It's of Malnosso design, I believe. They seem to be responsible for much of the technology present here.

[~~He can't get rid of the sparkliness! It's 100% natural!~~]

The Higan riverside? Is it a location in your world? Why would you plant those "higanbana" there?

Of course, I should have gathered by now that it is the Malnosso which are responsible for most things here.

[~~She can beat that sparkliness out of him, natural or otherwise. Where's that frying pan~?~~]

It is a part of my world, and yet not. The Higan is full of flowers and it is the place you go to where you await judgement from the Yama after having been ferried across the Sanzu River. Only those who have died are allowed to cross you see~

Higanbana also happen to bloom freely there. As such, gardening and planting such flowers whilst waiting to be judged sounds like a pleasant way to spend your time.

In fact, I cannot recall any aspect of the village that was not caused by them somehow, if only indirectly.

[...*hides all the frying pans*]

...That sounds like a lovely afterworld, even if it's only temporary. None of the dead I've met mentioned such a land in my world, but I do hope it also exists there in some shape. It'd be better than most theories I've heard.

Those aspects include the appearance of this flower from your homeworld then I presume, as you mentioned before. My those Malnosso do seem to enjoy having 'fun'~

[~~...Touché. You win. For now. You can't hide all the frying pans forever!~~]

Haha, I assure you this afterlife is not as great as it seems, what with that Yama stumbling about and her incompetant shikigami slacking off. With such a poorly run afterlife there's no wonder why nobody wants to die.

They do seem to have a rather eccentric sense of humour, if it can be called that. It could simply be malice and sadism.

[~~Even if he sleeps on them?~~]

I've learned a long time ago that bureaucracy can be found anywhere. That it would also apply to the afterlife is not too surprising.

A sadistic sense of humour is better than none~

[Were she aware of the flower's origins and what not sooner, she might have found it amusing herself.

~~That would be awfully uncomfortable. Even so, he can't sleep forever!~~]

Whilst bureaucracy might be found in most places it does not necessarily mean all will work out. Were I in charge of the afterlife I would have fired that Yama's subordinate long ago for slacking off.

I'd much prefer it if their sense of humor was normal. Or even simply centered on bad puns.

[~~Unless Rydia casts Sleep on him.~~]

I suppose there'd be no way for you to rise up the ranks and be in charge unless you died first, in these circumstances.

'Normal'? How boring! I think I would much rather prefer this apparent sadistic sense of humour they have now. Though I have yet to experience any ploys and plots of the Malnosso myself yet.

[~~She'll just have to hit him and wake him up with a frying pa- ...jahgkjsgh!!~~]

I would not want to reign over the Higan anyway. If I already surpass the power of a Yama, I would see no need in becoming one myself.

If you are particularly lucky, it'll be something as simple as being transformed into a flower for a week. But quite a few of their experiments are much less kind.

[~~Exactly. It's the unending loop from hell.~~]

Not even simply to have the chance to fire that subordinate? If their work ethics cause trouble...
