[quote=@KoL] [@Banana] Helena is a showgirl; she`s using misdirection ever since this battle began, the roses never had any effect and are only there for decoration. They are just for looks. There`s no usage for BS to control those roses. He can try and it`ll have no effect at all on the battle. The thing eating away at your character's mind before was Helena`s own power via the blue roses from before. None of them having anything to do with Victoire, even if Helena tried to make it look like that with the flowers being made of blood. Regarding Victoire`s own roses, I don't think Bonesword actually made the deal with Victoire on that. If he did, can you point it out for me? [/quote] This clears up more things than it should. Also, BS didn't make the deal, but it was implied that he could still control the roses without the deal, although he'd have little power over them as he would effectively only have the [i]rose[/i] part of a [i]blood rose[/i]. If he had made the deal, we wouldn't be in this situation. Edit: In any case, BS is tired of being useless, and he's coming in with power for this fight.
