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.

[Wow, who is that, all running around the city like zoom? So much energy! Feliks begins to run with her, cartwheeling a little at first, then not cartwheeling anymore because it is really difficult to keep up with her at his height.]

Dude, dude! Like, how come you're running everywhere? Are you just like, super pumped it's spring? I totally am! Wanna have a race?
niepokonany: (She's a stupid bitch!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-09 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
[Feliks is sort of blindly reveling himself, and paying no more attention to his surroundings, so probably no one but the two of them are surprised when Clara just sort of bowls him over. He's in far too good of a mood to let it bother him, though, so he just laughs as he dusts himself off, retaliating with an armful of flowers and fairy-sparkles.]

Come on, did you like, seriously not see me there?
niepokonany: (But 'til I try I'll never know)

[Also complicating plans for a nice peaceful walk is the fact that a Kirlia, an Exeggcute, and a boy in a pretty dress with flowers in his hair are performing an elaborate dance routine in the street. The Exeggcute is having some trouble with the Jazz Hands, but this doesn't seem to discourage anyone present.]

[Indeed, if Hilda ventures too close, Feliks will reach for her hand, sparkling excitedly. Actually, literally sparkling, which is an awesome Enlightened ability, ok?]


Hey! Oh my gods, you have to come dance with us, the weather's so awesome!
kaidont: (Heh)

[Ouch--okay that's a bit too harsh.

On the other hand, it brings her spirits back, so she takes it better than the rain. Shielding herself with her flower.

Thanks! Um, maybe a bit less strong?.

Because... yeah]
kaidont: (Heh)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-09 06:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Good luck making him one of your subjects, Combee]

Well, maybe she can play with the others for a while. [This way you're both less likely to run off. With the way Floette reacted, he has a feeling you're not going to do too well at home...

... though that gives him an idea]

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-09 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
Not me. But Fairy types definitely. Probably the Bug and Grass ones too.

[SIGH] Sun's killing me though. I picked a right time to evolve.

[Ahh, daytime, what better time to be sleeping? That's what the Pokemon your bond to meet is doing, sleeping. They must be nocturnal.

If you listen very carefully you'll here the sound of snoring form a close by tree..]

[ It didn't take much longer until she was sneezing again, herself. She sniffles again. ]

Y-Yeah. It's nice and all, but I don't think I'll have much brains left if I keep sneezing them out. Not that I have a lot of brains to begin with ... I'm more worried about your brains, Aster.

Y-You're sneezing your brains out?!

[ Oliver seemed to definitely not like this idea. He was panicking a little. Hilda laughed a bit to reassure him. ]

It's okay, it's okay! It's just an expression, Oliver! We're not actually sneezing our brains out.

[ How lucky for her is it that she wandered that close? .... Holy cow, is this guy sparkling? That'd be kinda cool if her head wasn't a big bunch of cotton at the moment. ]

H-Huh ...? Dance?

[ Sam the Mareep had been trotting behind her a little ways, giving his sneezing friend a bit of space to sneeze in while keeping an eye on her and making sure she didn't get herself lost. again. He stops and watches this scene unfold.

Sam's not going to do anything to stop this. Hilda had been the one to want to take a walk, after all. If she gets pulled into unexpected dancing, it's her own fault.

Hilda, meanwhile, is blinking confusedly at the sparkly boy. ]


But I'unno how to dance ...

[ That much was true. Hilda was kind of clumsy when it came to things like that. ]
withcourage: (Hehe!)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 07:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Aster let out a hearty laugh at Oliver's comment.]

We'll be fine, Oliver! It's more of a nuisance than anything, really. I'm sure the world won't be deprived of my genius yet!

[He glances sidelong at the other trainer and crosses his arms.]

But, you know, Hilda, I think you're a lot smarter than you think you are!

[As Rikka ever seems to be of late, she announces her presence with a massive, mighty sneeze. She groans and after a few days of these looks almost a bit wobbly as she frowns, examining the strange plants.]

I swear, these allergies are going to be the death of me...

[Which means it totally makes sense to be approaching them head on, right? Totally.]
withcourage: (Curiosity killed the Aster)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 07:55 am (UTC)(link)
[Aster's interest is thoroughly piqued by the sound of snoring! Braea doesn't seem to care as much, though. The blonde zeros in to the tree which the noise is coming from and looks to his Purrloin.]

Hey, Braea, do you think you could go check out that noise? I'm not exactly great at climbing trees.

[The dark-type pokemon groans and mutters under its breath, but begins climbing up the tree to figure out what the source was!]
bravenewhelpers: (church1)

[personal profile] bravenewhelpers 2014-04-09 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Veno.... nat... Veno... nat.... [It seems to be snoring away up until sudden Purrloin!] Venonat..!!!

[The bug-type screeches! Hopping over the cats head and down the branch -- frantic.]
withcourage: (Hey are you okay?)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 08:10 am (UTC)(link)
[Aster notices this and blinks. He didn't mean to scare the poor thing! ...Did Braea do something to startle it? He wouldn't put it past her.]

Hey, wait a moment, little guy. I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to startle you.

[Aster looks pointedly up at the Purrloin who now was looking down from the tree.]

Braea, you should apologize, as well!

Why? It's not my fault that it's startled eas-

Braea...

[The Purrloin sighs.]

Ugh, fine. I'm sorry, too.

[Her apology doesn't sound very sincere.]

[ It looks like it's a sneeze orchestra up in here, because shortly after Rikka sneezes, there is a sneeze from Hilda nearby. She sniffles and looks up at the other girl, sheepish. ]

You too, huh?

[That human...?] 'Y-You... you can talk?'

[It finds within the ends of the tress flush limbs. Sounding terrified but also extremely tired.]

[ Hilda sniffles, bringing out her handkerchief and trying to wipe her nose. Her words are a little muffled by the handkerchief as she speaks again. ]

Nah, m'pretty dumb.

[ She has no problem saying it. Sam, who is also nearby, is sighing and headbutting Hilda's leg. ]

Stop saying that. You're really not dumb at all.

You're biased, Sam.

I've known you for how long, now?

I'unno, ten years or somethin'.
withcourage: (I'm counting on you!)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
[He shakes his head.] I definitely wouldn't say that! I haven't known you long, but you're definitely not an idiot, trust me on that! Just believe in yourself and do your best!

Besides. You probably haven't done as stupid of things as this guy here.

[personal profile] ourlegends 2014-04-09 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
Is that so, Braea? What kinds of stupid things has Aster done? Tell me, tell me!

[ There's a grin on her face now. She had no problem calling herself stupid, really, because she wasn't able to live up to the standards her Dad had set years before she was old enough to realize what standards were. It was always fun to learn of stupid things her friends had done, though. ]
withcourage: (Grinning like a dork)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 08:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Aster flashes a grin and nods.]

Well, everything can talk--it's just a matter whether we understand each other or not! Either way, yes, I can understand you! Are you doing okay? As an apology, would you maybe like for me to find a place for you to rest in peace? I really didn't mean to disturb you, after all.
withcourage: (Fears Realized)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
This one time after we bonded, he went into the Verdant Forest--not far in because he's too chicken to go dee-

Hey! I'm not "too chicken!" Just...

Whatever you say. Anyway, we went into the forest because he wanted to see if he could study some of the pokemon there. It started getting late, and we were getting hungry. By the time we were able to get his attention to feed us... Well, he didn't bring any food! None! We were gone for hours, and he didn't even think to bring necessary supplies!

[Aster's cheeks color a little bit in embarrassment.]

H-hey, that was only the one time! And besides, I got us home, at least.

Somehow. I'm amazed you managed to do that in the dark without my help, but I guess you gotta have some things you can do on your own.

[The young researcher makes a face at the Purrloin.]

[... The Venonat waddles out after letting him finish, a nervous smile if humans are able to tell when bug-types are pleased.] 'S-sorry, I get really scared.. s-sure, I can't see all that well right now.. s-so that would be nice, i-if you don't mind..' [The tree it was using was competently disturbed now after all, they'll need to find a new one.]
withcourage: (brb nerdherding)

[personal profile] withcourage 2014-04-09 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
Would you like for me to carry you? If you're tired, then at least you wouldn't have to walk or anything!

[Braea hops down from the tree and weaves in between the trainer's legs to stand on the opposite side of him from the Venonat.]

Let's think... I know a few remotes areas of town at this time of day that are nearby. Those might work. I'd even let you rest inside my home if you'd like, but I'd guess you probably wouldn't be comfortable with that. Hmm...
kaidont: (Heh)

That would definitely be really embarrassing.
