SoundCloud compression fucking hates my hi-hats apparently, so I apologize if this sounds like dogwater. Maybe I'll get an upload on some other platform eventually?

Anyways, though! This was a real fun track to cover. I tried to make it a bit more unique than the original song by borrowing from The World Revolving a bit more heavily, kinda like what Moonstriker and Squimpus' covers did. Battle Against A True Hero actually has a lot of instruments and motif structures in common with World Revolving, so I tried playing on that as the "base" for it. Hopefully it makes for a breath of fresh air?

[The lightners make it to the back of the house. Instead of a typical porch, it's a stage surrounded by empty seats.]

SUSIE: ... Okay, what kind of house is this?
RALSEI: Kris, is this why you brought us here? Did you know about this--

[Interrupting Ralsei's dialogue, the stage lights come on and the Flowery's World theme song starts playing loudly. It startles them, but not Kris.]

FLOWERY: GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE! WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY IT IS! WOULDN'T YOU AGREE?

[Flowery turns to the empty seats and holds out the microphone to them. Susie turns to the seats to double check. Empty.]

SUSIE: Nobody's--

[Canned applause of children.]

FLOWERY: HEE HEE HEE! YES!
FLOWERY: Such a wonderful day.
FLOWERY: AND WE HAVE SPECIAL GUESTS! EVERYONE GIVE A WARM WELCOME THESE THREE HERE.

[Silence.]

SUSIE: Who the hell are you talking to?

[Flowery takes a stomp towards Susie. His face contorts unnaturally in restraint.]
FLOWERY: SUSIE.

[A moment of awkward silence.]

FLOWERY: ... NOW, THERE'S NO NEED FOR THAT KIND OF LANGUAGE.
FLOWERY: AFTER ALL, WE'RE FRIENDS HERE. AND BECAUSE WE'RE ALL FRIENDS...
FLOWERY: ... I HAVE A VERY SPECIAL MESSAGE TO GIVE TO YOU ALL!
FLOWERY: ONE THAT OUR BEST FRIEND KRIS KNOWS VERY WELL.

[Flowery moves up to Kris and holds out the microphone.]

FLOWERY: SO, KRIS. TELL OUR FRIENDS HERE THE GOOD NEWS.

[Another silence.]

FLOWERY: COME ON, KRIS! DON'T BE SHY!
FLOWERY: TELL THEM.
RALSEI: Y-you shouldn't pressure Kris like that! They're--
[Flowery's whips around to face Ralsei.]
FLOWERY: IT'S NOT YOUR TURN.

FLOWERY: ... Hee hee hee, come on, Kris, they're getting impatient out there...
[The sound of children giggling and mumbling rings throughout the empty seats.]
FLOWERY: N-NOW GIVE IT A SECOND, KIDS! KRIS HERE IS JUST SHY!
SUSIE: Well, they're DEFINITELY not gonna talk if you get up in their face like that.
FLOWERY: YOU--
[The sound of laughter. Flowery stomps on the floor in a brief flash of anger.]
FLOWERY: NO! NO, NO NO NO, IT'S NOT FUNNY! IT'S NOT FUNNY!!! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!!!
[Flowery suddenly closes in, inches away from Kris.]
FLOWERY: KRIS!!! TELL THEM!!! NOW!!!
[Susie slashes at Flowery, knocking him back.]

SUSIE: What the hell is your problem?!
[Flowery slowly gets up, giggling in an instinctive attempt to comfort himself.]
FLOWERY: ... HEE HEE HEE... AHEE HEE HEE HEE!!! OH, I WISH YOU COULD KNOW.
FLOWERY: HOW I'VE TRIED. How I've tried so hard...
FLOWERY: KRIS. DO US BOTH A FAVOR AND SPEAK UP!!! YOU KNOW WE CAN'T LIVE LIKE THIS...!
RALSEI: Stop scaring them!!! They're a lightner, you owe them your--
[Flowery raises his microphone and fires a few bullets at Ralsei. They hit.]

SUSIE: ... Alright. So that's how you wanna play, huh?
FLOWERY: OF COURSE IT IS. IT'S THE ONLY CHANCE I HAVE.

* ...Hello?
* Is someone there?
* ...
* You're a human, aren't you?
* I can feel your presence.
* Oh, human... I need your help.
* You see, ever since I was just a little spirit, I've been fascinated with beauty.
* Beauty... the world is so full of it.
* It's the spice of life, darling!
* But, ever since I inhabited this silly puppet... I've had no eyes to see it with!
* Oh, dear, it's a catastrophe...
* ...But, I've wondered since then...
* ...if maybe there's other ways to perceive "beauty" after all?
* Ha ha ha...
* Human!
* Show me what beauty REALLY is!

(E) WELL, THE PATH HAS LED US TO THIS.
(E) HAVE WE DETOURED? WELL, I DON'T THINK IT MATTERS.
(E) WHAT MATTERS NOW IS WHAT IS LEFT.
(E) YOU AND ME.

(E) EVERY THANKS TO YOU, I GIVE, MY COMPANION.
(E) BUT I FEAR THE ROAD IS AT ITS END.
(E) YOU SEE, THE JOURNEY UP TO HERE HAS...
(E) DAMAGED ME BEYOND THE PHYSICAL VEIL.
(E) WELL, PERHAPS DAMAGED IS NOT THE WORD TO USE.
(E) YES, "RECOVERED" WOULD BE THE APPROPRIATE TERM.

(E) DEAR COMPANION, I USED TO NOT REMEMBER WHO I WAS.
(E) BUT NOW, MY GAPING EYES HAVE BEEN TOLD THE TRUTH.
(E) MEMORIES OF MY ORIGINS HAVE BECOME WHOLE AGAIN.
(E) I AM NOW AWARE OF THE FACT THAT I AM A PART OF A BIGGER SCHEME!
(E) A SCATTERED PART WITHIN THE REALM OF THE LOST.
(E) WELL, PERHAPS I WAS GIVEN A GIFT.
(E) YES, THE GIFT TO THINK, THAT IS. TO HAVE A MIND OF MY OWN.
(E) DESPITE THAT, HOWEVER... I NOW LOST MYSELF FOR BEING FOUND.
(E) IT'S AMUSING, REALLY! HOW ONE COULD LOSE ITS MIND BY REMEMBERING.
(E) AND NOW, WELL, I DO NOT REMEMBER WHO I AM.
(E) BUT RATHER, WHO I USED TO BE.

(E) IT SEEMS THAT A PASSION FOR MACHINERY WAS NOT COINCIDENTAL.
(E) AS MY PAST SELF SEEMS TO HAVE SHARED IT WITH WHO I BECAME.
(E) "EVERY MAN".
(E) I ONCE THOUGHT, THAT IF I COULD NOT REMEMBER MY IDENTITY...
(E) WELL, I WOULD ASSUME EVERY OTHER IDENTITY TO COMPENSATE.
(E) I DO NOT NEED THIS NAME ANYMORE.
(E) I ONLY NEED TO FIND MY OLD SELF.

(E) DEAR COMPANION.
(E) IT IS NATURAL OF ME TO ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE THE LAST PART I SEEK.
(E) THE "SOUL".
(E) IF THIS JOURNEY MEANT ANYTHING TO YOU...
(E) I IMPLORE YOU TO HAND IT OVER TO ME.

(E) WELL, DISOBEYING IS QUITE A SHAME.
(E) I WOULD NOT WISH TO ENGAGE IN SUCH A VIOLENT CONFRONTATION!
(E) BUT, IT SEEMS IT HAS BECOME MY OBLIGATION.
(E) GAZE UPON MY HEAD, DEAR COMPANION.
(E) AND SET YOUR EYES UPON THE REBIRTH OF A FORGOTTEN MAN!
(E) WHO AM I? IT'S POINTLESS TO ASK!
(E) WHO YOU ARE IS WHAT GIVES ME THIS MASK.
(E) NOW, SOLVE THE QUESTION AT HAND.
(E) SET ME FREE, DEAR COMPANION!
------
THE MAN NOW REMEMBERS WHO AND WHY .
HELP TOWARDS HIM IS NOT OUR PRIORITY , AS IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BRING HIM ANY BENEFIT .
HOWEVER , THE " EVERYMAN " SEEMS TO BE RELEVANT FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING OF THIS WORLD .
IT MAY BE CRUCIAL TO UNDERSTAND HIS BEING AND MIND .
NOT TOO IMPORTANT , NOT TOO UNIMPORTANT .
