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.

[ Usagi's worry is almost through the roof because she can't find Pinky or Turnip... but, if there's anything she can't ignore, it's a pokemon that looks like something is wrong...

So, for now, she just jogs on over to the pink pokemon and kneels down.
]

Are you ok? Here, let me help you up. [ She's just going to reachh down and prop the pokemon righty side up instead of making out with the pavement. ] Take it from me, the sidewalk isn't a great place to sleep.
niepokonany: (No wizard that there is or was)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-10 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Feliks basically just ignores her reply entirely! He's not too attentive to start with, and the spring fever has only made it worse.]

Why are you stopping to look at so much stuff, that's totally gonna slow you--

Wait wait, I got it! It's like, a scavenger hunt! So like, what are you looking for?
niepokonany: (Another sign of tragic space dementia)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-10 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, exactly! Like, who cares if you look silly, it's fun!

...And yeah thanks, just don't do that on me and we're good.

[ Jigglypuff was in fact sleeping when Usagi picked it up from the ground and situated it the right way. Hearing her voice it stirs in its slumber before suddenly jumping awake. ]

JIGGLY!

[ It spins around in a circle before realizing that Usagi is in fact there and stares at her for a moment. ]

Puuuffff???
actsmagnificent: (derisive)

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2014-04-10 02:26 am (UTC)(link)
....Are you feeling all right?

[ That much energy just...isn't normal. And considering the way some of the Pokémon out here have been behaving - and the fact the one that went missing is a Bug-type, who normally stays close.....yeah, she's concerned. ]
niepokonany: (But the world is full)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-10 02:34 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, totally! Never better!

[He bounces for a moment, then leans over to check under a nearby leaf for whatever she's looking for.]

It's like, I went to bed last night all "ugh, I'm so done with people!" but when I woke up, it was just, like... Sunny, and awesome, and spring!
footprints_on_your_face: (see the stranger)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-04-10 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
I was kinda joking just then...
somnambulatory: (sleepwalking)

[personal profile] somnambulatory 2014-04-10 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
...I'm allergic.

[As evidenced by the loud sneeze that follows. She does manage to muffle it with her sleeve, at least.]
moemoetentacles: (Dejected)

[personal profile] moemoetentacles 2014-04-10 03:10 am (UTC)(link)
She's just being a jerk.

[He nods, eyeing the flowers. He should know that flowers can be dangerous given the various grass types out there, but it's hard to bring himself to worry about such a thing as too many flowers. It just seems silly.]

It is weird. But is there really much we can do about it? I think we should just enjoy them. Besides, more pokemon to bond with.

[Bolt sits back and smiles, his ear twitching. Ah, they're so cute when they're young. Bolt causes some sparks to shoot from his own cheeks, a way of communicating most likely. Jason watches and looks back up to Yang.]

Did you get her recently?
kaidont: (Er...)

[personal profile] kaidont 2014-04-10 03:28 am (UTC)(link)
I know but--what if it does?
inthenameofthemoon: ([usagi] --that's funny!)

[personal profile] inthenameofthemoon 2014-04-10 03:31 am (UTC)(link)
Hello!

[ Usagi gives the Jigglypuff a very friendly smile as well as a polite wave. ]

Did you enjoy your nap?

[Jason follows after Pikachu. He doesn't want to be left behind after all. He stops first though and snatches up his little spider pokemon. No sense leaving him to roll in the flowers. Peter clicks in protest but ends up perched on Jason's shoulder and seems content after that.

By the time he catches up with Bolt, the flowers around him are being hit by the hail that is starting to drop. Jason looks around with curiosity.
]

Hail? Why's it hailing?

Pika?

[Bolt looks over his shoulder at Jason. He's not sure either, at least not yet. But the flowers aren't making it easy to sniff anything out.]

[Charon flaps his wings and moves closer to the Castform. He can keep it occupied while Setsuna works with the bug. Setsuna still isn't SURE about this bug thing mind you. But, the bug is a friend of a friend and Setsuna can't just leave it there looking so pitiful.]

Shhh. It's all right. I can take you somewhere less wet.

[She hesitates but then sighs, kneeling down and scooping up the bug. She holds him gently and slightly away from her but she ACTUALLY picked him up.]
niepokonany: (The living legend needs eggs!)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-10 04:41 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, whatever. Like, at least she's sunny now, right?
celebrity_commentator: (uncertain)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2014-04-10 01:42 pm (UTC)(link)
She doesn't normally run off like this...

[She thinks about it.]

Well, not exactly like this.
celebrity_commentator: (studying)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2014-04-10 01:43 pm (UTC)(link)
[Rise briefly stops in her pursuit of her Pokémon, since it's not like Himiko's doing something dangerous - just irritating.]

Are you okay, Jinxie?
celebrity_commentator: (Default)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2014-04-10 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
[Himiko pauses when she comes across the little stage. She knows these things always get her trainer's full and undivided attention, and she's curious enough to stop her ecstatic run around the City to see what this other Pokémon is doing.]
celebrity_commentator: (what?)

[personal profile] celebrity_commentator 2014-04-10 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
[Kirlia's specialties are sensing others' intentions and emotions. It can give them super-Pokémon reactions at times...but only if they are focused. Himiko is certainly not, and is pinned by the quick actions of the Ranger. Needless to say, she protests loudly and tries to poke Asemu in the face.]

[Rise runs up a little ways behind, starting to run out of breath.]

Are you both...okay...?
actsmagnificent: (happy)

[ Sewaddle can do one better than that! Grabbing a flower that's dropped from its vine, he applies a bit of sticky silk to it and attempts to affix it to Floette so both you and your flower can have a pretty blossom. ] Waddle. Sewa wa.

[ Castform considers his work here done; accepting his own leaf, he grants the pair a bit more sunlight and then bobs off to look after more flowers. Hopefully he won't upset anyone else... ]

[personal profile] actsmagnificent 2014-04-10 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Waaaddle! [ Unfortunately, Sewaddle has a different opinion about how far he should be from Setsuna: once he feels that there's human warmth here, and someone who wants to take care of him, he runs up Setsuna's arm to cling to her shoulder in misery. You came for him! You actually came for him! He loves you!!

Castform, meanwhile, is twirling slowly towards the ground, no longer raining and increasingly drowsy. By the time it touches down, it'll be asleep. ]

It's not like you could really deal with it until it happens anyway.
moemoetentacles: (Unimpressed)

[personal profile] moemoetentacles 2014-04-10 02:54 pm (UTC)(link)
For now, anyway.
