Goddamn...son of a bitch...get off!

[Her plant had managed to back her up against a tree. There wasn't a way out that didn't involve passing through a bunch of thorns, and her body was already fairly covered in scratches from close encounters.]

ORA!

[A fist flashes out, matching her Stand's motion as she hit it with a volley of punches, staggering it backwards and buying herself some breathing room. This thing wasn't too dangerous in itself, but it was persistent: No matter how many times she'd beaten it down, it always sprang back up, usually at the worst possible time for her]

[Thankfully, now she had an idea. Using her powers, she unraveled part of her hand into string, and sent it upwards, looping it around a bough of the tree directly above her head. The string came back down the other side, and wound its way around the vampire flower. It moved to attack her again, but before it could take more than a step or two, the string tightened its grip, tying its leafy limbs to its side. Jolyne heaved on her end of the string, and so managed to hoist it into the air, where it continued to kick harmlessly]

[She slumps a little in relief, her breath coming in pants]

That...ought to hold you...for a while.

[Until she could figure out how to kill it permanently, she hoped]

[Rose is making way towards the library and doing her best to dodge the flowers. So far, she's managed to avoid getting attacked. That is until now.

She's a few steps short when a very large one stands before her, and it looks menacing. Rose prepares herself by removing her scarf and charging it.]

For those waiting for me, I might be a little late. A certain plant has decided to-

[The flower then starts to belt out several noises, like it's trying to serenade her.]

...Sing?

[Even with all her magical skills and the physical protection afforded to her by the COMP Naoya had given her, the recent plant invasion has left her body battered, beaten, and in need of serious medical attention. Unsure where to go or whom to turn to get treatment for her cuts and bruises, Tsukasa eventually  reaches the conclusion that she isn't going to be able to handle this on her own. And then comes to the same conclusion she had at the beginning of the Lock Down. That being, if she wished to survive in this strange place it would be necessary to rely on other people. That thought in mind, the blue haired youth beings to speak weakly through a nearby vine, hoping someone will answer her call for aid.]

If anyone out there is good with healing magic or medicine in general, I could really use some help. Those demon roses beat me up pretty good and I really can't move right now to get help. So if you could come to me that would be really nice...

Immediately upon my arrival in this unlikely place, I was assaulted by a giant rose professing its love for me through song. Truly a pity that Strider isn't here to bask in such phenomenal irony. Judging by what I've read, heard, and seen on this Vine, though, he isn't likely to arrive any time soon. Thusly am I spared the pain of his ironic rapping about irony.

Enough of this. The time has come to dispense with idle chatter. From what I surmise, none of you are aware of the situation you are likely in. Allow me to explain it to you in terms as plain as possible.

By far the most viable possibility here is that we are all in a heavily hacked session of a game known as sburb. There may be game aficionados in your midst, reading this now, naively thinking, "A game I've never heard of? Wouldn't it be wonderful to try that?" I will offer the following advice: don't. Let me be clear, in a simplistic and allegorical fashion. Sburb is much like Chutes and Ladders, if the ladders were made of human and alien bone, the chutes sucked you into an unending netherworld, and every roll of the dice summoned demonic powers, or rather, twisted the very fabric of reality such as to approximate demonic powers to an uncomprehending and terrified human mind.

You can do as you wish with this knowledge. I will be taking these Gardens apart piece by piece until I have found the secret to this Queen's control of her session, then bringing it back home to mine.
