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.

[Um, um, um. Maybe if she...

She's sending a Fairy Wind in the direction of the Castform. Not strong enough to hurt, but as a "there's someone here, please stop :(" sign]

Tell me about it. Be glad you're not fairy type.

[... and then you can enjoy the slow look of horror on his face.

Let's. Let's just hope the, ahem, other effects of "spring in the air" aren't going to affet said enlightened. Or they're in for a lot of trouble]

Sheesh... I can't even imagine what that would be like.

[Chie watches Kaido's face for a moment before she gets his line of thought, and then her own face turns as red as a tomato.]

W-wait, y-you don't think...?
kaidont: (Er...)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-08 07:00 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope not. [Oh god he really needs to keep an eye on Mari]

[Spring~ Spring~ Spring!

Kirlia, have you ventured far? There seems to be a Pokemon concert. A little stage with a large puffball setting things up.]

[ Castform looks over and puffs itself up in indignation. What's the big idea here? To seem more threatening, it starts gathering clouds to itself.

Sewaddle huddles behind Floette as best he can (which is...not well, given he's larger than she is). You can do it! He will just....hide....while you do. ]
kaidont: (Grrr)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-08 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
[You're scaring the other pokemon! >:|

She's actually fairly shaken by the rain herself, but spending so much time with Kaido has an advantage: she's mastered his scary snarling face. So giving you the STERNEST LOOK, castform]

Figures. We get invaded by vines, and now bugs are taking over the city.

[Not that he's complaining exactly. It is a welcome change to see more vegetation around the steel structures, but even the pollen and presence of the flowers and bug pokemon are making Riku sniffle.

But he couldn't very well stay inside the whole day. Clara was practically clawing and charging at the door for a chance to get out. And while he was out, Riku seemed to attract a small admirer in the form of a smaller-than-normal Venonat. The purple bug clings to his leg every once and a while, and even his Skiddo is acting cuddly to Riku now. Normally, she doesn't even like him.

Though when she's not doing that, Clara's prancing around on the streets, going here and there and sometimes not even paying any attention to wherr she is going in her euphoria. So there might be a small chance that you might collide with a perky little grass goat, or just notice her from afar.]

[ That...gives Castform pause (it freezes, so to speak, halfway to freezing). And while frozen, it looks down and notices Sewaddle. Oh. ]

Form?

[ Slowly this Castform changes color, shifting to its Sunny form. Two and two haven't quite made four yet, but it wants to cheer Sewaddle up all the same. ] Form!

[ Unfortunately, this also means you get a blast of sun right to the face, Floette. Good luck with that. ]

[ Hi there little guy. Ib shows it what she's got so far, too bad the crown is already too big for a Leafeon.

She didn't mind it coming over to say hi or play with the others. She shakes her head in reply to the woman. ]


It's fine.
ember_celica: (Chatty)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-09 12:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Yang's head tracks up and down, up and down, watching him bounce. She laughs, though, and nods at him.]

Yeah! Well... y'know, it's good it's here. I didn't realize you were missing it so bad, though!
ember_celica: (Just Playing)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-09 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Can't rule it out, can you? They are Grass types...

[ Doing things with friends is better doing them alone. No offence to the Pokemon but none of them have hands. ]

Just weave the stems together. [ And she adds another flower to the crown she's making by way of demonstrating. ]

[personal profile] maright 2014-04-09 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
Hello there~ [Mari smiles and attempts to wave in spite of the huge bouquet in her arms.] They are! And so friendly too~
maright: (pic#7229159)

[personal profile] maright 2014-04-09 01:12 am (UTC)(link)
I hope so! [The Combee puffs up a little and hums proudly. Of course she'd be right at home; she was going to get so many new subjects this way. Mari giggles.] And she's just so eager to meet everyone~
niepokonany: (And move on)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-09 01:23 am (UTC)(link)
"Hey, thanks!"

He places the crown on his head and rushes over to a nearby fountain to check his reflection. "Looking good! I think your friend totally needs some more of these, though..."

And he rushes around gathering up more flowers. There are just so many places to hang garlands on a Girafarig! A clutch of Exeggcute bounce up to Ib, dancing in more-or-less unison and grinning up at her.
niepokonany: (It's possible!For a plain yellow pumpkin)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-09 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Feliks peers over a nearby hedge, laughing a little when he sees it. What, it's funny! She looks so grumpy!]

[He sort of twirls over, poking at the Castform.]


Hey, hey! Can you like, do the sunny thing? That would be super cool!
niepokonany: (+If you can't do something smart)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-09 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
I know, right! I totally didn't realize it either, until this morning, I was just like, "oh Savior, spring," and now I just don't even wanna go inside!

Hey, you have awesome hair--I wanna put flowers in it!
notthatjason: (May it never leave you)

open?

[personal profile] notthatjason 2014-04-09 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's beautiful, huh?

[He looks to the pokemon with him. Bolt sniffing curiously at one of the flowers, Piper huffing from his shoulder and eyeing the bugs with a look of hunger in her eyes, and of course Peter. Peter seems to be especially attracted to the flowers and in a particularly happy mood. His nerves around Piper forgotten for the moment as he enjoys the scenery.]

Well as long as you three are happy. Find anything interesting there Bolt?

[The Pikachu looks up from his spot and cries out.]

Pi! Pika!

[And then Bolt takes off. What is he after?]
notthatjason: (Default)

Open!

[personal profile] notthatjason 2014-04-09 02:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hey Yang!

[Jason's out and about. Yang somehow sticks out among all the flowers and a lot of people from Union seem to be curious about it. He's not alone either. Bolt the Pikachu scampers over and sniffs at the tiny Pichu. What's up cuz?]

Something bothering you about the plants? I don't think I've seen Peter in a better mood.

[He gestures over his shoulder where, a few feet away, a Spinarak is rolling around happily in the blooms. Not harming the flowers mind you...but enjoying them to an almost obscene degree. Jason shrugs.]
stahlflugel: (045)

on the way to the habitat...

[personal profile] stahlflugel 2014-04-09 02:11 am (UTC)(link)
Eren regrets that he decided not to attune Fig to his warp band until he was old enough to decide if he wanted to. Because it meant he had to go outside to bring Fig to the daycare at the habitats. Honestly, it was a beautiful day, he shouldn't be complaining.

But he was.

The reason he was even doing this was because he couldn't even stand to take care of the rambunctious baby. Not while he's in this state. What state? Well, it's harder to tell with Eren in his human form, but he looks tired and haggard, and his hair is very disheveled.

He swats at bugs grumpily as he makes his way to the habitat, baby Sigilyph in a backpack-carrier. Fig is not nearly as annoyed by the bugs and chirps happily at them.
ember_celica: (Proud as Hell)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-09 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Hey, that's the way to do it! Live life to its fullest and stuff. Right?

[She pauses, before she looks proud.]

My hair is totally awesome. You don't just get long, flowing locks like these. [Actually, you do.] I guess you can put flowers in it, but be careful!
ember_celica: (Throw the Horns)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-09 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
Jaaaaace!

[Yang flips around, to wave quickly at Jason. She nods and grins -- though the look on her face is a bit... distracted -- before she motions around for a moment.]

Seems kinda weird how they all showed up, with the new Pokémon. I mean, probably not anything to worry about, nope! But it seems a little weird.

[Aura sniffs at Bolt for a moment, tilting her head. Then she giggles, which causes a few sparks and crackles of visible static electricity to shoot off her.]
niepokonany: (Only because I was eavesdropping!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-09 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Bitchin'! Okay come on, let's go sit in the flowers!

[He all but drags her over to the nearest patch of them, pausing to take off his boots and socks so he can enjoy the experience properly when he flops down. He takes a deep breath, and wow, everything smells like flowers and sunshine and he's so happy that he just ends up giggling and sparkling as he reaches out a hand to gesture for her to join him. That's a thing that has been happening since he evolved, the sparkling.]

So like, what color flowers do you like? I think you'd look wicked with red or white!

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2014-04-09 04:37 am (UTC)(link)
Hmm? Is all of this affecting you?

[He supposed if the Pokemon were going a bit nuts, the Enlightened would too. But the guy's a Dark/Fighting type, isn't he?]
