Springtime for Union

After an unusually long and cold winter, the land is finally beginning to stir in the anticipation of spring. In the forest, the first flowers are beginning to peek out of the ground, the hum of Bug Pokémon begin to be heard, and of course, the first wisps of pollen begin to incite misery amongst the more sensitive of the population. The sun sets later and later each night, and at the end of a long workday, the prospect of escaping early to enjoy a stroll out in the brisk spring air becomes more and more enticing.

The pall cast by Team Evolution has long faded into little more than a distant cloud on the horizon. Though the mystery of 'Mega Evolution' remains unsolved, it seems inconsequential in the face of the strength that Union itself is gaining. All damage from the earthquakes has finally been fully repaired, production of iron and steel has been greatly enhanced by the discovery of the mine, there were plans to build a new port and to enhance the range of the Signal Tower, Enlightened and Pokémon everywhere were evolving one after another... On the whole, morale was high.

The city takes it upon itself to reflect this.

When the people of Union begin to stir early one spring morning, they will awaken to discover a cheerful city, indeed. All of Union, overnight, has become covered with vines and shrubs and flowers - plant life, everywhere the eye could see. Though the majority haven't yet begun to flower, the rainbow assortment of buds promises a lovely sight to come in the near future. A few citizens, annoyed, set to work removing the intrusive flora from their properties, but the majority simply take the unusual sight for what it is.

And for the particularly observant, dotted here and there among the landscape, the occasional large pink blossom can be spotted already in full bloom...

[Well, true, and he's a good friend!

And speaking of Kaido. Guess who's coming your way, followed by his Shroomish, and his flower-crowned Scraggy]
realmenknitplushies: (* All okay!)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
["That's the important bit!"

It takes Kanji a bit to notice Kaido arriving, but he gives a wave as he does so. Hey, man.]
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 07:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey Kanji. What're you up to?

[His voice is still kind of hoarse and awkward but at least it's not going all over the place anymore]
realmenknitplushies: (* Glasses raise)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 07:38 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's a relief!]

Me? Just takin' a breather from trainin'... been doin' a few sketches of these flowers. 'Cause, man. You ever seen anything like this?
kaidont: (Default)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 07:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah I was kind of creeped out at first but it doesn't seem to be dangerous... it's pretty nice.

[Floette points at Kanji's drawing and chirps. Look, Kaido, it's so pretty!]
realmenknitplushies: (* Tough guy)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 07:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah... it's weird that this stuff came outta nowhere, sure, but until it does somethin' that ain't sitting around looking pretty? I ain't gonna worry.
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
Point. [Nodding towards your picture] Mind if I take a look?
realmenknitplushies: (* Red faced)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 08:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure, man. It ain't anything special, but [with a headtilt towards Floette-] Your friend seems to like it.
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 09:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[Taking a look] ... not bad. I can see why.

[Floette chirps and swoons a little. PRETTY FLOWER DRAWING]
realmenknitplushies: (* Blush)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
[And getting a spot awkward here-]

Thanks. I mean... it ain't anything big. I just do this sorta thing sometimes. Okay, it ain't useful, but ...so what? A man's gotta do his own thing sometimes!

[Defensive, Kanji?]
kaidont: (Default)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 10:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Big or not, it's good? Hell, if you want it to be useful you could always sell some. Or teach kids how to do it.
realmenknitplushies: (* What the?)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 10:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Ya think people'd actually buy it?
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 10:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Why not? Depends how much money people have, but I know a couple who wouldn't mind prettying up their place.
realmenknitplushies: (* Sheesh...)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Heh, I... I s'pose...

[His mother'd always said he could do it, but ... mothers were supposed to say that, weren't they?]
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
... tell you what. I'm a bit short on cash right now, but Mari and Atsuro might end up evolving soon... so can I order you a small one for then?
realmenknitplushies: (* Face on)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-06 11:02 pm (UTC)(link)
What? Like a 'happy evolution day' card or somethin'?
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-06 11:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Pfft--he's laughing]

I was thinking something more generic.

... I dunno what yet though.
realmenknitplushies: (* Chatter)

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-04-07 11:45 am (UTC)(link)
[Hey - come on, don't laugh! Kanji looks a bit put out about his suggestion being turned down, but nods.]

Sure thing. Just lemme know when you've got an idea, okay?
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-07 01:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[It's because he knows you can do better than a simple card, Kanji~]

Sure will.
