Spring Fling

For those who fear the encroaching flowers herald events of a slightly more urgent nature, perhaps it isn't really paranoia so much as sensibility.

Two days after they first appear, every single flower in Union blooms overnight. The sight is incredible - the entire city is blanketed in rainbow waves of color, and the scent of the flowers themselves is quite fragrant. The strange pink blossoms are particularly attractive.

For many of the residents of Union, however, the flowers may not be the first thing on their minds as things go a bit chaotic.

1. Enlightened with a Bug, Fairy, or Grass typing will become subject to extreme emotion swings. Primarily, the emotions will be positive, like overwhelming ecstasy, a sensation of giddiness, and a desire to spread cheer amongst their friends. These Enlightened may also suffer from confusion, an excessive amount of energy, and general loopiness. When not in sunlight, they'll swing towards the negative end of the emotional spectrum.

2. Bug, Grass, and Fairy type Pokémon have taken it upon themselves to settle into this new paradise, with the Bug types descending in swarms from above, and the Grass and Fairy types wandering in through the gates whenever the guards aren't looking. Though not violent, they'll be generally insensitive to the trouble they cause for the humans and will react negatively to anyone or anything harming the flowers.

3. Other strange Pokémon have also wandered into Union and while most appreciate the gentle sunlight, a few of the more mischievous have decided that the city could use some more variety. Each individual Castform may alter the weather between sun, rain, and hail within a certain area of the city ranging about two blocks. If Castform is creating Rain or Hail, Fairy, Bug, and Grass Enlightened will respond in a negative manner.

4. Allergies will be more fun to deal with than ever.

5. Finally, the following event Pokémon will be temporarily available to be bonded with as an extra bonus for this week. Please respond in the Map and Wild Pokemon post as per the usual to claim these. The level range is 5-8.

Castform
Petilil
Cherubi
Combee
Venonat
Flabébé
Jigglypuff

This event will end on April 13th. You may use this post as an IC mingle or make your own entries as you wish. If your character is a Fairy/Bug/Grass Enlightened and you prefer not to play the effects, you may opt-out.

Doesn't seem to have hurt him any. [ Haruka managed to avoid getting a bug to the face by reaching up and snatching Sewaddle out of thin air. She places him on her shoulder, where he immediately gloms onto his Trainer and beams at Setsuna. You found Haruka! For him! ] Sewa sewaddle!

[ ....Wait. Haruka looks curiously at Setsuna. You? With the bug? ] Did he behave?

[ In other words, how freaked out are you due to your phobia right now? You really went out of your way for her. ]

Not yet. We haven't really talked about where more than we've talked about just going.

Bugs and Grass types, huh?

[ She smiles. That's actually really cool. ]

Now I have to see them!

Hmm... how about the canyon? Stella would be your strongest there... [ She puts a finger to her chin, thinking. ]

Or you could try for over the ocean. That would be more exciting. There's still a lot to explore about the island.

[Setsuna nods her head to the grateful little bug.]

You're welcome.

[She then turns her attention to Haruka who appears to be studying her. Setsuna shifts her stance slightly, knowing that Haruka is well aware of her little fear and that the other woman is probably trying to figure that out about her now. She's an analyst, she knows when she's being studied.]

He was well mannered. He was upset when I first found him...apparently the Castform in the area weren't agreeable to him.

[And then they bonded. She doesn't want to say it like that, but it's more or less what happened from there. So instead let's change the subject. Setsuna looks up.]

I hope Charon and Rushing Wind aren't still trying to find you.
actsmagnificent: (shades)

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2014-05-18 11:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Rushing Wind is out? [ That's what she took from that, patting Sewaddle idly to thank him for behaving (even if they're going to have words later about leaving the theater). Or, well, it's what sinks in first. The rest comes afterwards, with a look from Sewaddle to Setsuna. He won you over, didn't he?

Haruka grins. ]
Sounds like I've been the troublesome one, then. Sorry.

Sewa wa! [ You could never cause trouble for Sewaddle, Haruka! He shouldn't have wandered off. The world can be scary. But it has good people in it like Setsuna, so everything will always, always be okay.

Right, Setsuna? ]

Oh, no big! Like, no harm done, right?

[They seem to be getting along great, actually.]

Good plan! The sun's super gorgeous today, anyway, so your friend's probably chilling out in it, right?

[Aaaand off he goes again!]
actsmagnificent: (cede)

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2014-05-22 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
[ .....The sad thing is, you have a point. All right. The sun - and the weather Pokémon - have effects on certain typings today. That's good to know.

Haruka sticks her hands in her pockets, smirking, and strolls off in search of rainclouds. Why does she have a sinking feeling Sewaddle's luck isn't much better than that guy's? ]

Charon will keep Rushing Wind on task.

[He did. He won her over so hard, though it's only slowly dawning on Setsuna that it happened.]

It's no trouble. I just wasn't sure what to do with him after I found him and he seemed very upset. Besides, it all worked out in the end.

[You are correct Sewaddle.]
actsmagnificent: (dainty)

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2014-05-23 02:14 am (UTC)(link)
[ Haruka grins. She's not going to come out and say anything about certain weaknesses that certain women are overcoming in certain ways, but that doesn't mean she can't make meaningful facial expressions.

Just for that, Sewaddle gets a head pat. You're still in trouble, buster. But thanks for behaving for Setsuna. ]
Thanks. The weather's affecting some Pokémon. I don't think it'll be a problem for birds, but....

[ ....Sewaddle is clinging to her hand and nuzzling it. There's....yeah, there's pretty much how she was going to finish that sentence. ] Anyway, be careful.

Both places sound really cool. It'd be nice to get out of Union for a while, really. I mean, I like it here, but we kinda have to stop being afraid of going elsewhere eventually, right?

[ She laughs a bit, sheepishly. She and Aster have both had ... experiences with going into some of the areas around Union. She had better luck in Scorched Forest, at least ... ]

globetrotting: (naked molerats)

[personal profile] globetrotting 2014-05-29 01:15 am (UTC)(link)
Not if you want to explore. Sure, it can be dangerous out there... but isn't seeing so many different sights worth it?

[ Scary, but exciting. It fills her heart up with many emotions, and maybe that's why she's had thoughts and just one day picking up her things and going on and on... ]

And you won't be the same as you were the week before. Training and and putting yourself out there makes all the difference.

[personal profile] ourlegends 2014-05-29 04:28 am (UTC)(link)
It'll probably be better than my first attempt on my own, when Aster and I do figure out where we're going and just go!

It's still a little scary for both of us, but ... I think we can push through that.
globetrotting: (finger bang)

[personal profile] globetrotting 2014-05-31 05:19 am (UTC)(link)
Why not just pick a direction at random? Just don't think about it so hard.

[personal profile] ourlegends 2014-05-31 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
I guess we could do that ...

[ Still scary. Her experience with the forest had really made her confidence in traveling on her own take a nosedive. ]
globetrotting: (gross pits)

[personal profile] globetrotting 2014-05-31 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, unless you and Aster finally decide on a location, you'll never get anywhere. Grab a map and close your eyes and put your finger down at a place. And there you go!

Really, if you two keep dawdling over it, I'll make it my personal mission to take you both somewhere. [ She flashes her a grin. ]

[personal profile] darkbreak 2014-06-05 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, guess so. [He'll actually kneel down and pet her on the head, causing her to bleat peacefully.

Which he raises an eyebrow too.]
She's not normally like this though.

[personal profile] ourlegends 2014-06-07 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
Maybe you should. Then we'd have one person who knows for sure what they're doing.

[ She grins at her friend. It was meant to be a joke, but she was only really half-joking about it. ]
globetrotting: (my wire)

[personal profile] globetrotting 2014-06-07 12:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure. Just tell me how long you want to be out and having fun and I can think of the places to go.

[ You know. If you really want to consider that. ]
niepokonany: (30% chance it's already raining)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-07 03:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Like what?

[She seems pretty normal to him! He smiles, scratching behind her ear.]

Well, whatever. What's your name, girl? I'm Feliks!

We'll have to see what Aster thinks, but I wouldn't mind being out for weeks at a time if we were prepared for it!
globetrotting: (hugo)

[personal profile] globetrotting 2014-06-09 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
We'll try one week or one and a half to begin with, especially if you both haven't gone that far before.

[ Hmm. ] You know, also thinking about what you might want to see can help. Do you both want to travel just to travel? Or is there anything else you want to get out of it?
ourlegends: art from 'sayonara - refrain' by soara (ѕтαяє)

[personal profile] ourlegends 2014-06-11 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't really thought much about that ... I guess I just want to see the world. It's not like there's much I'm good at ...

[ Oh no inferiority complex. ]

... I'll ask Aster what he wants to see. I'm fine with just seeing anything, but Aster might have more of an idea of what he wants to see.
globetrotting: (shine bright)

[personal profile] globetrotting 2014-06-11 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She gives that some thought for a moment, more so Hilda's first words than her last. ]

Then I'll leave that to you. I think I've given you a few things to think about between each other.

[ They've gotten a good way into the mountain by now, but there's still a way left to go!] But it's fine not having a speciality. Just learning to travel and picking up things -- ah [ They come to an upper ledge into the way they're taking, which Blue places a hand on ] watch you're step here.

[ Conversation will have to wait! Blue lifts herself up, then makes room for Hilda. ] Do you think you can get up?
