Flora Pie

As Flora Pie sun bathes, the plants around them seem to bend closer. They stand and stretch, and the flowers seem to bend closer to them. They happily tap the flower with their nose, and it stretches until it wraps around them. They trot away, content with the new accessory.

As Flora Pie travels, their goal is to get one plant from each pack. If you give them any, please catalog it here. A max of one plant per pack. Check here for their forum.

Trip 1
Tiofal of A Seldom Seen Pack
385 to 389
Time Spent at Seldom Seen
It was the first chill of the autumn that spurred Flora Pie to begin their inexplicable journey South. Was it that Flora Pie secretly wished to escape the bitterness of a Taiga winter that would soon send their beloved plants into slumber, or was it how the plants whispered in Flora Pie's ears that simple command to find warmth? The trees themselves seemed to bend and creak their branches, leading Flora Pie deeper into the world. Trees turned to bushes, and bushes turned to cacti. Flora Pie found themselves in a strange, sandy land, and before them was a wolf carrying bundles of strange herbs in her mouth. Her name was Monstera. Monstera of A Seldom Seen Pack . The herbalist wagged her tail at the stranger, and sensing a kindred soul, invited Flora Pie into A Seldom Seen Pack.

Flora Pie quickly learned that the wolves of Seldom Seen were nomadic, meaning that they scarcely cared to create proper dens for anything but weathering terrible winters or nursing pups. So, they were delighted when no one shot them a judgmental look when they slept beneath the open sky. And though Flora Pie enjoyed the company of Monstera and conversations with Tiofal and Bozba, who each took interest in their strange affinity, Flora Pie never felt as if they were home. The world was so vast. They wanted to see it all. Perhaps, if they spent their whole life with Seldom Seen, they would eventually see it all. But not fast enough. A lone wolf could travel faster than a pack. It was a simple truth. And so, smiling fondly, Flora Pie howled their goodbyes to the pack. Perhaps they would cross paths another time.

Finding the Arnica Flower
One morning, Flora Pie was contently basking in the desert sun, gently nudging the vines that she tended to when Monstera introduced them to Tiofal, the current alpha of the pack, and Bozba, the former's mother and previous alpha of Seldom Seen. Former alpha? How odd. Did this pack pass leadership before the death of the incumbent? But when Flora Pie looked closer at Bozba, they noticed that something was off with the older wolf. It was as if she was permanently blurry. Flora Pie pushed the thought from their head. It must be the heat getting to them. The two matriarchs invited Flora Pie on a walk, where they asked, as politely as they could, about their affinity with plants. The group stopped at the edge of an oasis, and Bozba began to dig.

"I know that you sense it, young one. You sense that I am like and unlike you. That is because I am," Bozba shook what was like sand from her pelt. Beneath was a wolf whose heart had stopped beating yet held the spirit of the kind wolf she had been in life. But her eyes, those startling eyes, leaked darkness. A pair of branching antlers erupted from her skull. And yet, under all that horror, tiny pink flowers hung onto her pelt. "Please, if you are not afraid, take these," Bozba scratched at the ground, unearthing a patch of yellow flowers, "They used to be mine, in life. Until these pink ones bloomed in their place. After all these years, I expected them to die. But here they are. I wonder what they will say to you," Bozba cocked her head and the dust settled back onto her coat, making her look normal. As normal as something so startling and strange could be.
