Is Anyone Out There? (Akechi + Ren)

[friendlyflower]

[[Results.]]

[Flowey has spent much less time underground than he used to.

Which, well. Of course, since the amount of time he spent underground before coming here was all of it, with one unpleasant exception. But he used to use tunnelling as his primary form of movement! Now he just has to hop.

For some reason, the idea of jumping back down the tunnels of the Southern Forest feels both soothing and nerve-wracking. There's the familiarity of being surrounded by earth, but also, these aren't his tunnels. He appeared in them, lost, forcibly transformed again, with memory-sapping fog and irate ground-types to deal with.

He takes a breath, then exhales. It's different now. He's much stronger, and he has Ren and Akechi with him. He turns to them before they walk down the winding rabbit hole that marks the entrance to the tunnel network.]

Remember, we stick together. Getting lost can be deadly. Keep your Grumpearls on you. I think I remember the way back to where I appeared, but I'm not familiar with the rest of it.

[They've already gone over the plan once, but Flowey loves to backseat game remind them just to be sure. He's not eager to wind up in the clinic again.]

Woolly Activity (Fireheart)

[friendlyflower]

[Flowey spends many days moping after being discharged from the clinic and arguing with Kris.

He's not about to run away again. His best chance of survival, whether he likes it or not, is to stay here. Once he's had time to cool down, he wonders how Fireheart is feeling. All the Pokémon with fur are struggling growing in their Winter coats, so that must be an irritant.

He shows up at his dorm with the same brush he stole from somewhere.]

I'm here for the quest. [Well, that's not right. He is still chasing guild points to an extent- what else is he supposed to do?- but he didn't just come here for the sake of the quest.] Or to talk to you or whatever.

Woolly Activity (Siffrinx)

[friendlyflower]

[Now that it's so cold out, Flowey hasn't wanted to go out at all. But he still has to work-- otherwise, his mind wanders. So he settles by deciding to brush yet another resident cat, Siffrin. The first one to arrive, who he isn't sure if he likes more or less than the surprisingly agreeable 'Stardust'.

Neither of them seem to have killed each other, so maybe it worked out? Flowey has been too busy with his own crashouts to check on them for a while. He lets himself into their dorm with the brush in a vine.]

You're shedding all over the common areas. Sit down and get brushed, moron.

Stronger Monsters (Open to all)

[friendlyflower]

Flowey doesn't have much in the way of hobbies.

He's occupied his time these past few months by forcing himself to stay busy. He wanted to reach the top of the ranks and force Ribombee to acknowledge him. He wanted to dive into this strange new world and peel apart its mysteries layer by layer.

But the world wouldn't yield to him so easily. Winter has come early, blanketing the Canopy with snow. As a weak Grass-type, he's been forced to slow down. And now he doesn't know what to do.

He likes to read, but he has to find a way into the Archives somehow, and finding anything specific there is impossible. His other hobby is watching people, but it's harder when most of them are bundled up indoors like he is.

So when he hasn't been questing, he's been filling his time with training. Most Sunkerns sit in one place and wait for evolution. Meanwhile, he's been training like he has something to prove. Nearly every day he's firing Bullet Seeds at training dummies, trying to overcome his weakness. Even that has been limited by the snow.

A. Whether you have beef with him, he's dragged you into participating, or some other means, you've wound up agreeing to spar with Flowey. He has little chance of winning if he's not fighting dirty; he's no idiot, he knows that.

That's why he's set up the training grounds with tunnels (he'll fill them in later, probably), little snow forts to hide in/behind, and more. He hopes to train his agility and try to avoid getting hit at all costs.

"We're NOT fighting to the death... this time," he says.

B. Instead of training with him, you've decided to show him a new hobby. Flowey likely seems apprehensive about it. "So long as it doesn't drag me out in the snow," he grumbles.

C. Something else? Feel free to work out a wildcard with me!
