[attr="class","omgentop"]PROMENADE OF ROSES



[attr="class","omgenmid"]

MINI-EVENT
PROMPT-BASED
ENDS JULY 31st, 11:59PM PST



A ROSE BY[break]ANY OTHER NAME



AS SPRING DRAWS TO A CLOSE, an abundance of roses have blossomed at Fiorelli Floristry of every conceivable colour. To sell the unprecedented bounty of the colourful flowers, a promotion has been put in place by to ensure the roses find recipients throughout the off-season months of summer.[break][break]

Using the ancient language of flowers, you may gift roses of appropriate meaning to others, imbuing each interaction with a specific meaning and significance.

GUIDELINES



INSTRUCTIONS


PLEASE READ the following guidelines carefully to participate![break][break]

  • You may participate with any character but only redeem a reward prompt once.
  • Meet the prompts outlined below for each rose with an appropriate IC post.
  • Only posts written from JUNE 5TH to JULY 31ST 11:59PM PST will count for each prompt.
  • You cannot use the same thread for multiple prompts for a single character.
  • You must tag a RECIPIENT for each flower: the person that your character interacted with to achieve the prompt.
  • Every prompt MUST be completed with a DIFFERENT recipient. No doubling up! (Ie, the person you completed the Red Rose prompt with cannot be your recipient for the Pink Rose prompt, and vice versa.)
  • Recipients for prompts are chosen solely at the poster's discretion. They do not affect choices that recipients make in terms of who they will choose for their prompts. (Ie, if you tag for Red Rose, but tags someone else for Red Rose, that is completely okay!)
  • You do not need to actually write giving a flower! It's just event flavor. You can do so if you like, however!
  • Reply to this thread using the template outline below to redeem the associated reward for a prompt.
  • Be sure to fill out the field summarizing the post and how it meets the prompt.
  • A special reward will be given to those who complete all prompts!
  • Have fun!


FLOWER PROMPTS





[break]







RED ROSE PROMPT: The red rose is a timeless symbol of love. Express your affection towards another character in a post, either in words or action; alternatively, receive an expression of such affection from another character. Note that this love does not need to be romantic in nature, though it can be.
REWARD: 3X POKEBALLS


WHITE ROSE PROMPT: The white rose is a symbol of hope and innocence. Share your hopes for another character, or alternatively, either protect or shatter another character's innocence--whether it be their ideals or their naivety.
REWARD: 1X TYPE 2 EVO


PEACH ROSE PROMPT: The peach rose is a symbol of enthusiasm. Express a mutual passion with another character, whether it be a shared interest or hobby, and share in one another's excitement.
REWARD: 1X LEVEL TUTOR


YELLOW ROSE PROMPT: The yellow rose is a symbol of friendship, joy, and new beginnings. Form a new friendship, or strengthen your bonds of friendship with another character, through whatever means that best manifests.
REWARD: 1X TM/TR


PINK ROSE PROMPT: The pink rose is a symbol of grace, sweetness, and appreciation. Celebrate another character's achievements or show appreciation for their good qualities.
REWARD: 1X ABILITY CAPSULE


BLUE ROSE PROMPT: The blue rose is a symbol of mystery. Share a secret with another character, or choose to explore something unknown with them, even if it's something as simple as trying something new.
REWARD: 1X MOVE TUTOR


PURPLE ROSE PROMPT: The purple rose is a symbol of regality and splendor. Enjoy some of the finer things in life with another character, such as music, art, food and drink -- or whatever your character personally believes that to be.
REWARD: 1X FORM CHANGE


BLACK ROSE PROMPT: The black rose is considered a symbol of death and mourning. Grieve a loss, express sympathy for another character, or witness death in some fashion.
REWARD: 1X TYPE 3 EVO



COMPLETION OF ALL PROMPTS: Due to the influx of Infinity Energy before the events of the Dawn of the Darkest Day, there have been rare reports of Pokemon learning a newfound move, LIGHT OF RUIN. This rare circumstance has been impossible to repeat in controlled environments.
REWARD: 1X SALAC BERRY, 1X LIGHT OF RUIN MOVE TO TEACH TO ONE POKEMON.

WICKED EYES & WICKED HEARTS

BLUE ROSE - SYMBOL OF MYSTERY


Recipient: [break]
Post Summary: In which Mars (under his alias of “Tuesday”) gives Yui (under her alias of “Athena”) confidential information regarding the Tree of Life in exchange for her knowledge about the Unown Report and the Dark Triad. The whole thread revolves around exchanging secrets, while on the other hand both characters keep their identities hidden from each other during the encounter – going as far as wearing disguises and never revealing their actual names throughout their multiple interactions.

This thread has been really fun to write, Yui is an amazing character, and I’m super thankful to Pilo for allowing me to explore aspects of Mars I haven’t gotten many chances to write in Hoenn. I really look forward to seeing it develop further, and to Tuesday and Athena’s future interactions! ♡

JAGGED PETALS


PEACH ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: One of the aspects of Elisa I haven't gotten to explore until recently is her science-oriented side: underneath her prim and proper demeanor is just a nerdy little botanist who never got to live out her Poison Ivy dreams. Imagine how excited I was when I saw the crystabloom events going -- FLOWERS and INFINITY ENERGY! A perfect reason to have a science thread with . I have been a huge fan of how mad writes Lulu for ages, and it has been such a pleasure introducing the two characters in this thread and seeing them approach the mystery of the crystablooms from their opposite scientific disciplines. I also really enjoy the little parallels we get to hint at where neither is classically trained, having taught themselves all their hard-won knowledge and using it for the glory of Rocket. Super excited to see how it all shakes out! #HoennGirlsInSTEM [break]

PLACING A BET


PURPLE ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: Elisabeth goes to a casino to get some rigged Rocket money, while attends to make a showing amidst the public to prove he's back and better than ever after his recovery. Between gambling and drinking, there's plenty of decadence in this thread, including gratuitous excuses for our characters to be dressed to the nines. This is my first thread with Gabe, and I really enjoy the presence that comes with Greyson's RPing such a public figure. The indulgences might be the gambling and the drinking, but for me it's definitely the witty banter back and forth that makes this thread fun![break]

A DAY'S WORK


PINK ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: Elisabeth and Summer bond over being heartbreakers in a night club. In this post specifically, Elisabeth shows appreciation for Summer as a person beyond her Prescott name: she's funny, smart, and attractive, regardless of the prestige that comes with her birthright as an heiress. This thread has been so fun for me in general because it lets me stick Elisabeth in a place I wouldn't normally get to write her, with someone who has a lot more in common with her than you'd think at first blush. I also can really see the layers that Red is putting into Summer here, and it's been great to tease them out in dialogue. <3 [break]

SNOWFALL IN SUMMER


YELLOW ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: This thread comes on the heels of Apologies, where Elisabeth and Felix establish an awkward trauma-bonded friendship. Where normally they'd have just done a mission together and never spoken again, they are instead intimately tied to one another's past: Elisabeth wants to help Felix kill the person who haunts him, and Felix wants to atone for almost murdering Elisabeth on accident in the Petalburg Woods. After so much heavy storytelling, Snowfall gives Cap and I the opportunity for something with more levity where the two stoic Rockets engage instead in banter and ice skating. It's been fun to let Elisabeth's competitive nature shine here, and for Felix to drop his own serious demeanor to enjoy being around Elisabeth without the specter of guilt looming over them both. It's a joy to update this with Cap and to explore the ways in which this shared activity gives them a safe space to see one another as friends, rather than colleagues. [break]

TRANSPARENT


RED ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: Spiral and I have been dancing around this flirtation between our characters since the Palentine's Day event in February. Since then, the two of them have had late night phone calls and unexpected social calls alike. Slow-burn arcs are some of my favorite to write, and I've enjoyed the time that Spiral and I have been able to take in building this fragile foundation for our characters to slowly bond with one another; both are, objectively, terrible people, but both are entirely unaware of the sheer depravity of the other person, which is delightful. In this thread, Elisabeth's walls lower somewhat, the presence of the man that she normally speaks to late at night by phone standing before her as flesh and blood. And despite secretly knowing it's best to do otherwise, she ultimately lets herself be a moth drawn to flame. Thanks for the pre-eye-gouging fluff, Spiral! [break]
character redeeming reward?:


ACCISMUS


BLUE ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: After the Dawn of the Darkest Day, Elisabeth confronts the truth about Fernando Silph with and not only learns that things are significantly worse than she expected, but she unexpectedly finds herself so overwhelmed she confesses her deepest fears to Gavin: that she herself was compromised by the power of Tapu Fini. This is a pretty dark and heavy thread, so don't read unless you're prepared for uncomfortable subject matter, but I have appreciated Thorn's willingness to do this kind of storytelling with me (I'm a sucker for good old fashioned psychological horror and romance gone wrong). Equally important, if not moreso, is that this thread marks just how close Elisa and Gavin have become not only as Rocket colleagues, but as friends. Writing a character who is slow to open up about herself and trust others makes relationships like this so valuable to me as a writer, and I'm forever grateful Thorn is willing to run with what I throw at her. [break]

STARRY NIGHT


BLACK ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: Elisabeth is a character who struggles to reassure people with words, preferring to do so with actions. In this thread, she's comforting her close friend , who is grieving the loss of a Glastrier during the events of Father Winter. With simple expressions of tenderness and comfort, Elisabeth tries to help her friend in her moment of turmoil and not let her be alone. It's a nice reversal from a previous thread that Laika and I wrote together, Peace Lilies, and exploring grief in this thread between Gigi and Elisa has been really enjoyable for me as a writer -- and another wonderful exploration into the dynamic between these two unlikely friends.[break]
character redeeming reward?:


SEWING CIRCLE


WHITE ROSE PROMPT


recipient: [break]
post summary: I chose this thread for the white rose, despite the fact it could apply to a lot of prompts here, because one of the most lovely things in the way it's concluding is the way that and value the same thing: freedom and independence. This is, in some ways, in complete disregard of what the Rocket organization would prefer -- blind obedience -- but in this post, Elisabeth expresses her hope to Rowan that he will continue to doubt and test his ties to Rocket, because it ensures he is there because he wants to be. This entire thread has been such a blast to write, and Banished has kindly allowed for my character to get additional insights into stories that she otherwise wouldn't have through the way the narrative unfolds here. But what I really take away from it is the way in which these two very different people, at their core, are so much the same, and their hopes echo one another's.[break]

GASLIGHT!


WHITE ROSE


recipient: [break]
post summary:
I just wanted to preface this by saying what a wonderful writer Nikki is! Illeana is a great character and I love how far she's come and all the things she's gone through. It's really shaped her into this powerhouse of a scientist and an incredible asset to the league, and I'm so excited to see what Nikki does from here! Especially after her brief capture by Rocket...what will happen, I wonder? Haha.[break][break]

This thread features a continuation of Illeana and Matias and their complicated dynamic. Through their threads, we've come to learn that they vibe with each other really well. Friends with tension, I'd say! But at the same time, they share very conflicting views of the league and of what's expected of them, as we explore in the thread.[break][break]

How Matias sees it is that Illeana, despite all that's happened to her, still remains relatively sheltered? Ignorant to a degree? Maybe privileged as well. To get to write Matias' view of that, no matter how right or wrong he may be, was a great experience.[break][break]

It was amazingly fun to get to write out this tension and this conflict. Thank you, Nikki!
