(He's been listening the entire time! His attention is completely caught! Even if he looks like he's just lounging around on the floor with his bow and arrows next to him. He's vibing. He's chilling. And he hasn't said much of a word until now--)
Talk about a drama king.
(Very dryly,)
But with a name like "Crimson Rain Sought Flower," I'm not surprised.
[ xie lian tuts. ] Now, now. [ he likes crimson rain sought flower's name! ]
Legend has it that the Supreme destroyed a nest belonging to another ghost many, many years ago, bringing upon it that "crimson rain". As blood fell from the sky as if it were simply a weather phenomenon, Crimson Rain walked through the forest and came upon a perfectly white flower, still covered in dewdrops.
When he saw it, he opened up a red umbrella and crouched over it, protecting the delicate flower from the blood and carnage that fell around it.
He is truly a mysterious creature, that Supreme. [ fufufu. ]
In the Heavens, they whisper of the warning signs, that he is coming. When he encounters a heavenly official, it is said that he never shows them any mercy, unlike that white flower, and so, as you walk through the mortal realm, you are best to keep aware of his presence. It's said he has eyes and ears everywhere - even in the Heavens - but there are ways to know he's coming.
[ xie lian will not make hua cheng tell his own tales. he's going to let him sit and enjoy this, because clearly he is enjoying himself. ]
After the crimson rain that heralds his presence comes his silver wraith butterflies. They are intricate and beautiful creatures made of a silvery light - [ xie lian mimes at roughly the size of a monarch butterfly with his hands. ] - and at first sight, you might even think they are cute.
But they're wildly dangerous. They have as many abilities as you can possibly imagine - to be swarmed by them is to have no hope left at even existence. When one falls, he can make more, summoned as if from the very air themselves. They can heal their master, they can be watchful eyes and ears, undetected as he learns your life, they can attack in one thousand different ways.... Crimson Rain Sought Flower can summon them to his bidding to destroy you in moments.
[ oooooh spooky. xie lian leans in a little bit, seemingly also entranced by this part of the story. ] To walk alone in the mortal realm is to summon his ire, because he is everywhere.
[ Hua Cheng gently pushes Ochako's head, versus him kicking at Claude for his smart mouth. ]
Very funny. At least gege thinks they're cute. [ THEY ARE MURDER MACHINES, GUYS ] You have no evidence to say that I can't control my temper, you know, as I've been very well behaved here in the Realm.
[ beat ] The incident between Claude and I had outside interference, that doesn't count.
But yes, should I get them back, you may see them. I imagine they will be limited rather like Ruoye is now for gege.

No, Riegan-san's right. It does sound dramatic. [ but don't most villain names? ] What's the rest, then?

I know about that, but if we believe your stories, your temper's pretty bad, huh? Do you have evidence that it isn't?
[ clapping her hands together! she's excited for murder butterflies for some reason. ]
They do sound cute. Wouldn't have figured that would be your style though.
