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.

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!
ember_celica: (Grin)

Wicked, huh?

[Yang grins at that, but she nods. She lets herself be dragged -- it's kinda weird that Feliks is this worked up, but hey, must be good reason -- and then she sits down at the patch, before she looks him over. His evolution didn't work like hers; maybe because she's a Normal type, too. It shows.]

[She's not sure how she feels about that.]

Red or white, sure, but gold's my color. You gotta work some gold in, man!

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-13 01:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Um, news flash? Your hair's totally gold already! But since I like you, I'll totally see what I can do.

[Got to gather some good flowers, first of all...]

Help me look for ones you like!
ember_celica: (You Bet)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-13 06:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, sure, yeah! Let's see here...

[She ambles forward until she finds some red flowers. She pokes at them, before she looks up at Feliks, and flashes a grin at him.]

Hey! How about these? They got some, like, white in the petals.
niepokonany: (I'm flying high defying gravity)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-17 01:55 am (UTC)(link)
[He sort of bounces his way over, sparkling, and picks a couple of the flowers.]

I love them! They're perfect. Here!

[And he moves to put one behind her ear.]
ember_celica: (Happy)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-19 03:19 am (UTC)(link)
Perfect!

[Yang pauses, noticing a couple of the sparkles. She blinks, then she smiles, looking over her shoulder.]

Hey Feliks, you're sparkling.
niepokonany: (I think I'll try defying gravity)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-04-20 03:03 am (UTC)(link)
Oh--I totally know, right? That's kinda been a thing since the whole evolving thing went down.

It's been happening a ton today, though! Maybe because I'm so pumped about spring? I don't know.
ember_celica: (Just Playing)

[personal profile] ember_celica 2014-04-20 10:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, it makes sense. I'm kinda jealous, you know? I evolved and all I got was faster and stronger. No sparkles.

[She sighs, but it's totally a fake sort of being down.]

It's tough being me, man.
niepokonany: (And tell the world about it)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-05-01 02:51 pm (UTC)(link)
Gods, that's way harsh.

[He laughs, and pats her hair a little bit before turning to pick some more flowers for it.]

Lucky for you, I'm way generous, so I can totally help you out on the sparkling front!
