Helianthus Named after its tendency to turn to face the sun. Helianthus comes from Greek helios, "sun" and anthos, "flower" Adoration, loyalty, and longevity
How do you think I ended up in that confessional? [...] He cried when he realized what had happened, and he was praying for forgiveness. It was just too late by then.
[so same hat.]
...the monster likely wouldn't let her be herself for too long. Just enough to tease her and remind her that it's there. That it's wearing her skin and willing to hurt her friends and there's nothing she can do. [and it's frustrating.] They might figure out another option for her to separate her from the monster. There's a little more time.
[ ugh... if she's close enough, he'll tip over a little to bump their shoulders together. awful. ]
...I... hope so. [ besides... what we did. he thinks, but... even rondo's not hopeful enough to quite think that will be the case. not now. ] I really hope so.
Every week, I find more reasons to hate this cult and what it stands for.
[companionable lil bump. god. it sucks to care so much about everyone and constantly worry about your loved ones. they both need a nap honestly.]
I hope so, too. Pestilence has her contained, and I imagine the overseers are trying what they can to figure something out without drawing the attention of the cultists. [the little storm clouds in her thoughts grow darker.] The cult knows they're slowly thinning us out, but they keep summoning new monsters. It doesn't make any sense to me.
[ blue fire licks down his hand again, flaring and fading. ALSO REAL, they both need a nap. and not a dirt nap. having a big heart is so hard in this economy. ]
Maybe that was the purpose all along. [ the part about summoning monsters. it's scary to think about, and he sniffs, turning his face to wipe it a little against his cloak. ] Either way, I... I can't stand this place.
Neither can I. It's been unfair to all of us from the start, and even if we're making progress to find a way to stop it that doesn't change how much everyone's losing until then. [frustrating...]
...the one bright side is we're not out of the running yet. Just because we're here doesn't mean we're a lost cause. We can find ways to help them but also help ourselves. [a pause.] But it can start tomorrow. You've had a long couple of days.
