WEEK 6 - LOBELIA

[foundationmods]

Six weeks.

They had been here for that long, and still...the game was continuing.
Yet, it felt like they were finally about to reach the end of it...
Just a little longer. 🗈

Still, things were just the same as they had been the past few weeks.

The goats and servants were still around, and so too were the witches.
Yet, it felt like this week would be the week they would finally get all the pieces to the puzzle.
But...could they solve it?

Only time would tell.

Thinking back to the story from before.

Nirrti's name was given to her by her mom, it was dear to her. So it's gotta be meaningful-- and probably not something like a typical colonial name. So no Anne to match my Ann.

[she's joking, but she's tired.]

[respring]

'Nirrti' is the name of a Hindu goddess...and in the book, Nirrti-san's mother looked foreign. Is it possible her true name is from India?

[keydomhearts]

You might be on to something there, Sakura-

[ There's a pause. ]

Think it's flower related?

[aleph_armed]

...Do any of us have any understanding of Indian names? Let alone unusual ones, do we even have people that know common ones?

[keydomhearts]

Maybe there's a book in the library with names?

[fullbodied]

You know... It's not unthinkable.

[goldenmaniac]

Names, names...

Wait. Wait... flower... The flowers will point the way...

[he sits up suddenly and hops off the table, running to the first floor library. Huh]

[aleph_armed]

You've got something?

[Gebura will follow to carry things as needed, at least.]

[goldenmaniac]

Maybe. Remember back in the first few weeks, when I kept looking up the new flowers in the garden?

[in the library he pulls down that familiar flower book and a pile of Baby name books, and some on Indian languages. Have fun Gebura]

[aleph_armed]

[Okay, let's try to keep these balanced...]

I do. So you think there's a clue there?

[goldenmaniac]

Yes. Or well, I don't think it's a clue I think it's the answer! The real clues were the epitaph, the traps in the chapel, the fragments for the book- the clue that the answer is a puzzle!

[poor Gebura, he's just rambling and leading her... outside. Once they reach the garden he takes the flower book, his old notes, and starts looking the new flower up]

[aleph_armed]

The answer is... a puzzle? Are you kidding me? All of this buildup was to another puzzle?

[Yeah, she'll let him do his thing. Maybe it'll make more sense once he's finished.]

[goldenmaniac]

If I'm right it should be an easy puzzle though.

[once he has the flower he moves to the names]

There you are... it can be spelled with a W but I think her name is... Kanval. The lotus flower.

[oceanicbutterfly]

[goldenmaniac]

[Wave wave]

[aleph_armed]

[...Okay, she's lost, because she wasn't actually paying attention to flower names.]

Umm... Could you explain how you got there?

[goldenmaniac]

No problem. Here, look at my notes. See all the names of the flowers? The first letters spell the name! And it has origins in Urdu, which is an Indian language. So it all fits!

[respring]

[ following! ]

Kanval...it's pretty. How did you figure it out?

[goldenmaniac]

I knew the flowers had to be important somehow- even from Week 2. But I had no idea HOW. But you all talking about names just made something click. This whole place is a big puzzle, so why not the name too?

[He shows his notes where the flower names make Kanval]

[hatesdeerstalkers]

[WHERE DID GRANDPA COME FROM

He's quietly ruffling Takumi's hair with a smile, though.]

[rikuchi]

[ .... ]

Good job, Takumi.

[ He never has much to say at these meetings, but...that deserves this much. ]

[anonnomnomnom]

[The hound keeper is somewhere in the background watching the proceedings, but Gulliver is here chasing everyone's heels, and dashes dramatically between Takumi's feet.]

[oceanicbutterfly]

[Vinea will also follow, to... well, okay, for no helpful reason at all, she just wants to know what's happening.]

[excavated]

[ same hat but he is here to help if they need more hands because, you know

this deals with their lady and if they want to help her then??? all the better ]

[Excuse me, I have no goat icons on mobile.]

[literalidiotball]

[The demons shall be joined by a curious goat, who walked in here to clean but is now like "What is this thing?]
