GRACIDEA QUEST

GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS

BEFORE YOU, THE STONE LAYS BARE. However, if you were to look closely, you would begin to see the words beginning to etch themselves on the top of the stone. As morsels of stone fall from its pristine face to reveal a simple command:[break]

TO WHOM ARE YOU THANKFUL?

Flowers begin to visibly grow around the rock, curling gently like affectionate bracelets. They curve toward the rock face like arrows.

OBJECTIVE:

STONE WRITING

write a post that has your trainer inscribing the NAME of a character they are thankful to. You may tag another player character, or a significant NPC. Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

shiv will respond with another MOD POST detailing what happens next alongside your next step.

“HM,” is the only suitable answer for her detraction about today’s forecast. at her prompt, fernando forgets the odd blight and steps forward.

“to whom are you thankful,” he repeats aloud.

the answer is simple. there’s only one person she’ll learn about. and, in typical fashion, it’s not someone new. fernando keeps that secret much more well guarded. its the same person that drove him to make elisabeth’s night.

which is why he writes her name on the stone.

ELISABETH FIORELLI.

GRACIDEA QUEST

GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS

THE STONE ACCEPTS YOUR NAME(S). Suddenly, the wind billows around you, carrying with it, the softest spring scent. Petals are cradled in these gossamer gales. Colors swirl around, the displaced flowers like gentle jewels painted by nature's own brush.[break]

The GRACIDEA FLOWER is uprooted. Gently. It beckons for you to take it carefully within your hands. As soon as you do, a path of flowers erupts from the stone's northern face. It extends far and into the air. A magical bridge connects Hoenn to a fantastical place hidden by the power of canonized gratitude.

Follow the bridge. Quickly, before it disappears underneath your feet.

OBJECTIVE:

THE FLOWER PATH

write a post that has your trainer's pokemon using A SPEED STAT BOOSTING MOVE to help their trainer keep on the flowering path. after, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

“ONLY IF YOU FIND THE TRUTH IMPRESSIVE,” comes a quick and nonchalant quip. as the wind starts to pick up around them, fernando’s disposition relaxes into a stone face exterior the league has come to accept.

it’s how he faces any and all challenges.

“it seems to find you suitable,” he observes aloud.

his first steps up the bridge carry and urgency that understands their time table. a sharp whistle causes his shaymin to appear from behind him, flying past them with a howling TAILWIND left behind.

“hm.”

GRACIDEA QUEST

GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS

YOU FOLLOW THE FLORAL BRIDGE. With every step, the flowers spring out beneath you taking root in nothing but air. However, the garden trail behind you disappears. Flowers fade into green bokeh— perhaps, the residue of some fantastical grass-type energy. By the end of this seemingly endless trail, you find yourself seemingly high above the clouds. And in a secluded airborne island.

In its center, the island's field is filled with GRACIDEA FLOWERS, but there are stretches of dirt that are devoid of any plant. Any root. However, something stirs in the flowery abode.

Whatever it is, you are compelled to find it with your own GRACIDEA FLOWER in hand.

OBJECTIVE:

STONE WRITING

write a post that has your trainer's pokemon using ODOUR SLEUTH or SWEET SCENT to find the hidden Shaymin. You must also find the Shaymin in the image above. Once you have found it, please DM or PM shiv on Discord or the Site with the location of the Shaymin.

Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

RUSHED STEPS FERRY THEM to an unexplainable apex. hoenn’s hosted odder occurrences in the past. but none have seemed so harmless.

“then we see what our gratitude reveals,” he parries, caution in his approach.

without so much as prompting, his shaymin releases a sickeningly SWEET SCENT. it feels at home. as if long returned to a place it can seldom remember.

GRACIDEA QUEST

GRATITUDE AMONG FLOWERS

A SMALL HEDGEHOG EMERGES FROM THE FLOWERS. Lured or identified by you and your Pokémon's efforts, a Shaymin graces you with its gentle presence. In fact, several Shaymin appear from the kaleidoscope of petals and stem; however, one seems to take the reins by trotting right up to your feet.

The Shaymin raises its snout to the UPROOTED GRACIDEA FLOWER in your hands. With a swift pivot, the Gratitude Pokémon leads you to a stretch of loamy soil. It appears as if the Shaymin wants you to re-plant your flower there...

OBJECTIVE:

TILL THE SOIL

write a post that has your trainer's Pokémon using ROTOTILLER to plant the Gracidea Flower.

Afterward, post in MODERATION REQUESTS.

“VIGILANCE REQUIRES CONSISTENCY,” fernando insists. his voice may warm up to her but his body remains rigid. “otherwise, by the time you need it, it’s already too late.”

when they manage to find the other shaymin, fernando presents the GRACIDEA FLOWER. it boops it with its snout before turning tail to lead them in further.

careful fingers start to dig into the soil but they lack the depth and delicacy needed to replant the uprooted flower.
