When you draw close to your team's tree, a dark cloak closes around everyone. If you get too close, there's a strong chill. If you ignore that, it still looks like a nice morning outside, bright and warm. So, it might be better to just stay with your team and tree . . . With a faint rustle, the flowers of the tree start to change and turn colors, dying into many vivid shades.

Re: Turn-In
So heed my call, persona! For this is the tale of a bunch of heroes who got downed in their journey, and were given the chance to live on in a better way. Only—well, "a better way" probably included photosynthesis, but I get the feeling that you of all people would see that as a benefit.
Anyway, the seven of them were stuck in a dark city. It was an older one, with buildings made with wood, and the smell of rot. Heh, it seemed like no one could be there. But once they reached the core, they found people there, huddling.
See, this was a place that was once cold and barren, with little life to be seen. Not plant, not any other sort of thing. They had to make long journeys to hunt.
So, right. Someone came and destroyed the town. Who? A couple people. A guy with flame-throwing abilities that he sorted himself and a master strategist. That one was a woman. She wasn't keen on destroying the damn place, but her colleague was a little, ah, well. He liked being remembered. What a loser, right?
But eventually, he got bored and they seemed to take off. The reason why they were there? There was a child. A promised one. And the seven had been told they had to protect them. So on they went.
See, the colors I chose? Yeah, that's the color of their clothing. In this world, only the wealthy wore dyed clothes like that, so the people thought they were there to strip them bare, like soldiers. Heh, it took them a while to get them to trust them. Apollo, the guy in yellow, was finally the one able to do it with his pie. The others did what they could. Blue and White—TK and Rider—thought them things so they'd wisen up. Red and Black—Jason and Twink—helped them defend themselves. And Green and Purple? Dino and Seeker? Yeah, they just supported them. Helped around with what they could.
The day the flame guy and his strategist came back, the people believed they were ready. Hell, they'd managed to make their home back into one piece, and it was what drew the attention. How could it be, right?
A great fight broke out. The flame guy? He wanted to go in, guns blazing—so to speak. Guns didn't exist yet. But his boss said it was a bad plan. Let's besiege them.
For thirty days they held out like that. Our heroes and the citizens alike. Until ... the supplies ran out. Certain that this was a bad way for them to go, the heroes scaled the recently reconstructed walls and went and fought off the groups that the master strategist had brought along. The people of the city took their maps and their advice and abandoned their homes. It wasn't what they wanted, but the heroes told them enough to move on. They'd hold the fight for as long as possible. They'd let them live.
'Course, that means our heroes died. One after another, in a battle that lasted a week. But lives were preserved.
A god, hell, maybe even a persona like yourself, swooped down and decided these heroes needed to be remembered. And in time, maybe they, too, would have another life.
Thus, where the citizens had settled, a new tree appeared with the seven colors. Hell, it was a pretty damn unique tree, but ... soon enough, the citizens realized they could commune with it. During the daytime only, of course, but they did just that. They talked to the different leaves and learned that the heroes still had a shit ton of information to share.
At the feet of the tree, the young boy, who went on to be a great leader of humanity, left a plaque:
"Here lies for eternity those with great wisdom, bravery, and strength.
Red (Jason), Yellow (Apollo), White (Rider), Blue (TK), Green (Dino-guy), Purple (Seeker), Black (Twink)."
He only imbued the plaque with a special power so that anyone who touched it would know the significance of the colors:
Red - Jason, the Red Hood. An identity taken up for some reason, it's a mask so that he could help people in his own way.
Yellow - Apollo. For the guiding sun. He lead the group of heroes.
White - Rider. For his sense of purity, even if he didn't always realize it.
Blue - TK. For his authority. He was the right hand of Apollo and he was once a royal alchemist.
Purple - Seeker. Partly for her hair, partly for her own regal way of handling herself.
Green - Dinoguy. Because he was the lizard-like one of the bunch and didn't mess around. Also, he was the newest, so he figured he'd take green for that connotation, too, even if he never showed it.
Black - Twink. Because it was the most badass, and Twink always kept his cool.

Now, part two! So, we've got some nice flowers with different colors, and they mean all kinds of things . . . Let's spread the love around. Pick a few flowers, not all of them, a few! Then, decide who you want me to deliver them to. How about five of each color for the teams . . . And why don't you give the knights some, too. You can pick five for them and decide who gets your flowers.
[[Here's the breakdown: You have a total of thirty-five flowers, five of each color, to give to teams. You can give one team all of your flowers, all of your yellow flowers, a mix of flowers, only one flower, or none at all. You can mix and match to your hearts content, just mark where each flower goes.
For the knight's flowers, you can pick one of five colors, so you will miss out on two colors. Then, you specify which knight you would like them delivered to. Likewise, you can give a knight all five, a few, just one, or none.]]

Coral, 'cause of Apollo and Tsuruume's ties. And, well, mine, too.
Amethyst, of course.
Guess Peridot as an olive branch. Even if Cass is fucked up.
And why don't I sort out the rest in a moment?
