Genesis

Genesis was mainly written to fill in a missing plot point from Origins - the eventual fate of both the First Room and the only portal back to the space where Origin once was. It also canonises the notion that the Flowers put plants in front of that portal in the hopes that they will be Awakened, which is something I've said for a long time, but has never previously been seen.

The only significant point I don't think has been mentioned anywhere is that, according to the descriptions in Origins, the First Room is set up on a non-Word World. That makes it a de facto Reality Room - that is to say, no Mary-Sue should be able to survive inside it. Once you read the story and find out what the room's used for now, you'll see why that's an asset.

As always, concrit will be taken on board and probably used to edit the story right away; it's easier that way.

There's a big mystery solved: how there can be sentient Flowers of species specific to individual canons that couldn't have been on Origin. I hadn't even really thought of how strange that was until now. A good missing piece to add!

A great piece, and one that made me giggle a lot. It answered some questions that had been nagging at me, too, which is always shiny. :P
That is so very brilliant, I can't even say. (nm) by Ailavyn Siniyash on 2013-09-13 02:24:00 UTC Reply
That was great. by Sergio Turbo on 2013-09-12 19:21:00 UTC Reply

I can't believe that the Flowers can be the exact kind of manipulative bastards Kyubei is. But it is fun nevertheless.

Is there still a glass ceiling? by Karen DuLay on 2013-09-12 18:32:00 UTC Reply

Or did they change that?

I'm a bit entertained at the thought of the First Room as the Mysterious Somebody's office and don't know why.

Oh also I've been going through OFU-Squared and adding little bits in heads up.

The glass ceiling was destroyed by the Organisation during the Civil War, to open the First Room to vacuum. When they threw the Room back together again, they made the ceiling solid - probably Generic Surface - partly to prevent the Conservatives trying the same trick, partly because they were in a rush.

It's a shame, in a way, but I don't think a glass ceiling would fit the aesthetic of the Board of Flowers' room.

On the other hand, if someone wants to write it back in, there's nothing to say they didn't rebuild it. And it would look impressive...
