[Catchall] Metropolis of Eden

Who: Umemiya and You
What: Things that happen in October
When: All month, possibly into next
Where: Skull Town, The Spire, Out in the Forest
Warnings: None yet


1. A city in bloom [Open, Skull Town]
With permission of the guild leaders, Umemiya's beginning his winter garden project out in Skull Town. While he isn't spending all his time at the garden, he does make regular trips out to see progress in tilling and planting and offer advice to those working in the garden. While he wishes Noelle were here to use Grassy Terrain and boost the growth of the plants, the old fashioned way will work fine, since the weather seems clement enough.

Perhaps you were planning on volunteering and come to meet the Lucario for marching orders. Or perhaps you're just wondering what's going on in this corner of the outpost. Either way, Umemiya greets any who approach him with a broad grin.

"Good weather for this work, don't you think?"


2. A city with that adapts to survive [Open, The Spire]
Umemiya makes himself busy around the guild's space when he isn't out at Skull Town or off on a quest. He's glad to help with cooking meals for the dining hall, and when he partakes of food he's likely to approach someone and ask to sit by them. After all, he's always been a warm extroverted soul, interested in building community.

And of course, he can also be found in the training rooms, working to try to learn some new moves, because he's realized there's types he doesn't have a particularly good answer to. Up for sparring?


3. A little morе room [Closed to Need, Woodn't You Like]
The idea of going out for a walk in the forest and gathering wood is almost a break from everything else Umemiya has on his plate. He meets Need out at the edge of the woods, ears perked and tail already doing a slow wag.

"So, we just get a bunch of deadwood and dry branches and bring them back to town? Seems about as simple as it gets."


4. For underdogs and misfits to thrive [Wildcard]
Find me wherever Solstices are sold at darkersolstice to plot, or just come at me with something random. I have faith in you! You're amazing and your hair looks really nice today!!

Flip me to brackets if you please, I'm easy.

"Just call me Flowey! Flowey the Sunkern!" He still will not be changing his name to 'Sunny'. "Say, what's your story, pal? Let me guess... you fought for justice and ideals where you came from, didn't you? And you want to believe the best in people, but know that sometimes, there's no choice but to fight?"
friendlyflower: (wink2)

"Yeah, right. And I'm just a friendly little seed. Hee hee."

Admittedly, he's too used to sorting people into flat archetypes. He doesn't even know Umemiya at all. That doesn't mean he's about to apologize, though. "Nobody who says something like that is actually that one dimensional. So what's your story, really?"

"Sheesh, let me add 'sensitive' to the list." If he could cross his arms, he would. He's too stubborn to apologize. "You know what? Forget it. You just reminded me of someone."

"Oh, whatever," he groans. "I'm so sorry for assuming a Fighting-type has fought before. Is that what you were expecting?"
friendlyflower: (hop away)

Humbled. Flowey bites his tongue and somehow manages to avoid throwing a Blast Seed after him. It would only make things worse.

Oh, well. He's mostly here for the guild points. Flowey hops away, hoping he can deal with Cedric better than that.
