Flower of the Plateau

"A flower mustn't be unsightly."

- Mikulia Calgaround

Flower of the Plateau is a song released as a part of FARM RECORDS' VOCALO APPEND on January 11, 2012 and later uploaded with a PV on Nico Nico Douga by Akuno-P on January 13, 2012. The song concerns the titular Flower of the Plateau, living her life in Calgaround following the Venomania Event and her apparent prostitution afterward.

Plot
In Calgaround, Elphegort lives a florist beloved for her beauty and sweet disposition, called "The Flower of the Plateau" by the townspeople. In truth, no one in the town knows her past as a prostitute. One day, a young lord falls in love with the florist and asks for her hand in marriage, to the blessings of the townspeople; shortly before the marriage, a lecherous man enters town; he recognizes the florist from her past days as a prostitute.

The song's narrator repeats a mantra, that "a flower mustn't be unsightly." Three years later, a boy appears in the town seeking the love of his long lost mother, a prostitute who had abandoned him. The narrator repeats their mantra, and asserts that the Flower of the Plateau can be happy with her new life and not think of the "leaves" now buried in the well. There is still no one in town who knows the florist's secret except for the narrator herself.

Composition

Conceptualization and Origin

 * Mikulia is a florist referred to as a "flower" with the song PV reinforcing this imagery of flora, connecting to the sin of Lust and its original form, "The Flower".
 * The song PV also shows imagery of slugs upon the prostitute Mikulia, connecting to the sin of Sloth and its lethargic connotation.

Curiosities

 * Ominously, the song was released on Friday the 13th.
 * Although symbolic, mothy decided to label the PV as an R18+ video due to its suggestive nature.
