ALSO, AS PROMPTS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION: Last month's mini-events!

Effect: Friday, July 8: Flower Gift - All day, despite the season, flowers drift down from the sky. They’re harmless, beautiful, and smell lovely, but if trainers aren’t careful, they might end up trudging through rosedrifts up to their knees before long.
Swarm: Tuesday, July 12: Spinda
Effect: Friday, July 15 to Sunday, July 17: Worry Seed - Affected characters won’t be able to get any sleep. Does that make your character cranky? Does it damage their brain-to-mouth filter? The effects can last as little or as long as you’d like over this weekend.
Effect/Swarm Double Duty: Friday, July 22: Surf - Large waves appear in all bodies of water, including things like bathtubs and your Sawsbucks drinks (it’s just bean water, you know). Be careful on the ocean, but also, hang ten, dudes! The waves won’t destroy anything, but trainers are going to get wet on this ride. Also, oh god, small jellyfish Pokemon (Tentacool, Frillish, Inkay) happen to be swarming randomly in these bodies of water. GANBATTE, VICTORY ROAD.
Effect: Friday, July 29: Haze - The forecast is misty inside and out on this oddly cool July day. Affected trainers will find it difficult to remember things, whether those happened long ago or just five minutes past. The memories aren’t gone, of course, it’s just…foggy.
Swarm: Sunday, July 31: Illumise and Volbeat

It's not unheard of. [is holtzmann taking notes? you bet!] But it's not their usual thing, and being so obvious like that...

[she taps her pen on her chin, thinking.]

So you're saying there wasn't any slime-like-substances?

[in4apounding]

I don't think so, no. If there was, I didn't see any. And that sounds like something the inn would've mentioned when I checked out, but they're accepting of some very strange things here so who knows.

[aintafraidofno]

I wonder if something -- or someone -- was provoking that behavior. Nothing like it since, I take it?

[in4apounding]

Maybe? It happened right after this big festival honoring the dead and ancestors, so it sort of- I don't know, fit, I guess.

[As much as seeing dead friends and family standing there silently can go with carnival games and dancing, anyway.]

And no, but it's only been a week or so.

[aintafraidofno]

Hm, yes, that definitely fits.

[but this girl seems worried? right?]

Hey, if you see anything let me know. I've got your back.

[in4apounding]

Oh, thank you! I definitely will. Though- when strange things happen here, they tend to be pretty noticeable by everyone.

[Subtlety is not Pokéworld's strongest asset.]

Like one day last month it just kind of rained flowers all over.

[aintafraidofno]

Flowers? Spontaneously?

[of course]

[in4apounding]

Pretty spontaneously, yes. There wasn't anything that might've lead up to it that I know of, anyway.

[No Cherry Blossom Festival or Flabébé swarms or two-for-one bouquet sales from Floaroma Town Deliveries.]

Just kind of- flowers and petals raining from the sky all day. It was really pretty, but they kind of got everywhere.

[aintafraidofno]

I'm definitely going to have to investigate these phenomena. There is clearly a lot of work to be done in this world.
