Fling Flowers
The fling flowers are creations of the village that have proliferated across Nataal. Fast growing and capable of surviving in most conditions, they were bred to be used as a means for transporting creatures and organic goods long distances. In Kernelle, the Joser clan trims and maintains a well-organized network of these plants.
Some years ago, a few enterprising villagers brought a handful of flowers to Grand Cluster to try to set up a trade network between the village and city, but eventually abandoned their efforts. The fling flower network in Grand Cluster was left to grow and spread uncontrollably.
Utility
The player is able to hop into fling flowers, which send him flying from flower to flower until he reaches a "terminal" flower. The player can bring anything organic along with him for the ride. The player can use them to quickly hop from one end of Kernelle to the other, and can use them to find little hidden areas in Grand Cluster.
Access & Availability
Fling flowers are all over Nataal. In Kernelle, the gardens of fling flowers are well tended and placed for quick travel. In Grand Cluster, the flowers grow without supervision, and wild variants have started to appear.
Complexity
There are two species of fling flower, Transvectus Flecto and Transvectus Dirigo. Transvectus Dirigo (the directed fling flower) sends the player flying in a straight line based on which direction its petals are facing, whereas Transvectus Flecto (the ballistic fling flower) is a wild variant of fling flower that will send the player flying in a ballistic arc in the direction of their choosing.
