Much like what is suggested in the Shaymin events of BDSP/DPPT, the people of the Floaro-Eterna area have set up various, mirror-like rocks throughout Hisui, which serves as sites of worship for Shaymin. Aside from offering wreaths of flowers, other covered things (such as food, medicine, etc.), and their prayers, the rocks themselves are important. They are to be inscribed upon in a script that has, in the present day, been lost to time, aside from those in Sarana’s community and perhaps one other group of people. What is meant to be written on these stone tablets are expressions of gratitude, and what or who helped the person grow throughout their journey around Hisui. They remain etched upon the surface until Shaymin visits the shrine, and returns the stone to its mirror-like state once more. The go-to phrase is usually “<name of person/place/thing>, to whom I give thanks” (which is what remains written after the BDSP/DPPT event), although longer and more eloquent ones have been written.
In Sarana’s case, over the years, she has dedicated her expressions of gratitude to:
Her mother and father
Her pokemon (Jonquil, Sophora, Erykah, Primrose, Neem, Scilla)
Shaymin
Almighty Sinnoh
Mother Life (which is just Xerneas, as they’re viewed as the ones who created the shaymin)
Nature
The stars above
Hisui
And specifically for our lore, she has likely also dedicated one to Hanako, for her friendship

♠ Dirty little secrets.
Volo acts like he just wants to be handled roughly, and while that's true, he'd be lying if he didn't want to be treated gently and fondly just once. He's used to being used and using people, and if anyone ever cared about him enough to be kind to him intimately, he'd probably have no clue how to handle it.
But he really does want to be cared about in that way.
☆ How adventurous are they?
He's pretty adventurous for the most part and is up for trying most kinks at least once, though he draws the line at bathroom things and ageplay and Pokemon (obviously). But he doesn't really balk at much, especially since his openness tends to make it easier to find beds to sleep in.
❀ One thing they’re dying to try.
Tie him up and take control away from him. He always has to be in charge of the situation regardless of the role he's in, but he'd be interested in having that control wrested away from him.
Ooc.; @hiddengriefs yes that post was triggered by u thank u hello my child u are safe now here

People in the shrine. People in the shrine! Her excitement cannot be more evident— except that she must not show it to the visitors. It’s her duty to be serene and—
— Well some Gastly decided to join the duo with the same enthusiasm the priestess feels. Quickly she appears running and carrying an onusa to gently shove them away. There is respect for the ghost types, Hanako thinks, but they have a bad reputation given by the people and prefers to keep them at bay as much as she can so they don’t bring any embarrassing situations to those who are at the shrine.
❝P-please forgive me!❞ the priestess says loudly while bonking in the head some of the pokemon. ❝We have an agreement, don’t we, guys?❞ her blushed cheeks face the guests. ❝I- I can swear this doesn’t happen very often— well it does happen, but I can manage it! Please feel free to walk around while I make sure they don’t bother you, okay? There’s a small fountain and... sights— ah, forgive me...❞
There was a sense of relief for him to see another trainer around this area, putting one worry at ease. At least that was he assumed of her as one since the few Gastly apparently belonged to her.
“Thank you, and you don’t have to apologize. We’re just happy to see someone around here.” While some of the Gastly were hovering around him and his Chandelure, they didn’t really mind though. The two looked around the shrine, it was been a long time that they had seen one before. “If I may ask, miss, where are we exactly? This place is new to us.”
An envelope is sent to him by a Staravia. It's contents are; pressed dried flowers -as a reminder that she's the sender-, a small hand painted scene of the Obsidian Fielands, and a small letter thanking him for his duties. Perhaps with a bit more flattering that the needed.
for the miles & miles it travelled, some semblance of scent from these flowers still emanates from the dried petals; if ever his senses were dulled, let it never be his sense of smell! sitting here, beneath the comfortable warmth of the cobalt sky, he’s reminded of hanako。 perhaps some chill runs down his spine; he chalks it up to the memories of the icy alabaster winds, the snow that melted in his boots & frozen his toes。
( volo, thank you for … ) the art: not a thing he’s seen in quite some time。 his attention lies on ruins, on legends, on old etchings in stone walls and tablets that speak of old history & lives passed。 admittedly, he pays less attention to the present than he should。 the watercolours hanako bring him back。
he smiles, sincerely, where no one can see him。 perhaps there is a faint blush across his cheeks。 perhaps it’s only the heat getting to him, sudden and stifling beneath the fur of his jacket。 to distract himself, he begins to dig through his belongings。 ❛ 刺? ❜ and behind him, his togetic chirrups。 ❛ will you bring me something flat to write on? ❜
@hiddengriefs ASKED:
❝I have heard of you, sir.❞ Her voice comes out like a line, although soft. Almost showing more compassion than fear or dislike. ❝Have you been alright...? Are you in need of shelter or food?❞
Those words have been the suspenseful introduction to a few conversations by now, and they have started to sound like small talk: something that people say, but which holds no meaning on its own. Though he notes her gentle tone, Volo holds his breath, waiting for whatever comes next.
“Oh, I find that I’m quite used to it by now...” he begins with a faint smile.
Then he pauses, struck silent by the contrast between his shabby clothing and her garments. When was the last time he saw white like that, other than the mountain snow? He doesn’t want to get any closer, in case his presence alone might cause a stain. He lowers his eyes to the ground. His smile vanishes and his tone changes, becoming one of shame.
“I must be honest with you, gracious lady, for I fear there is no use in trying to lie: I am always in need of shelter and food. But that is simply my lot, which I accept. I don’t wish to cause you any hardship. Especially in such a sacred place as this.”
@hiddengriefs replied to your post:
Feed, definitely!
Mai looks at the food offered to her with curiosity. It smells very good, which brings a smile to her lips. “Oh! Thank you! I don’t think I’ve ever had this before. What is it?”
