Team Overview
Each subsection of the Team Overview section will provide a brief summary of details for the relevant area. For complete details see the linked Main Articles.
Home City
Main article: Boston
The Boston Flowers hail from Boston, Massachusetts, a city that lives in harmony with nature be it a sentient garden, rifts in space-time, or just lots and lots of plants. Some areas of the city feature overgrown ruins, places where trees and vines intertwine with modern buildings, or non-Euclidean Fens.
Boston is a forever changing ecosystem that creates mystery and adventure. One day you may see an empty field of flowers, the next a thicket of trees. Nature in Boston is benevolent and helps the people of Boston when possible.
The people of Boston are focused on their ability to grow and thrive. They wish to live and be happy and will do what it takes to protect that way of life. They are also very friendly and community focused. The history of Boston has made its people resilient, and they will always rebuild from tragedy and loss.
Stadium
Main article: Boston Garden
The Boston Flowers home games are played in a stadium known as The Garden. The Garden is an unusual Blaseball stadium, given that it is absolutely and completely overgrown with plant life. It is also a living sentient being that protects those it cares about.
History of Boston
Main article: Boston Flowers/History
Throughout history Boston has gone through a lot. Below is a brief summary of the history of Boston as it is currently understood.
The Dunkies Years & The Big Dunk
In the past the Dunkies Donuts Corporation was voted in as the mayor of Boston and used their power and influence to take over the city. During their reign they mined for the natural deposits of donuts and coffee. The Dunkies Donuts Corporation greed eventually inspired them to synthesize coffee beans from outside of the universe, an attempt which ultimately ended in failure in what was known as "The Big Dunk". The most notable side effect of the Big Dunk was large numbers of space-time rifts opening throughout the city leading to alternate dimensions and versions of Boston.
Post-Big Dunk
Eventually the citizens of Boston recovered from the events of the Big Dunk, and the city began to exist in unity with nature. Plants of all kinds strung themselves up buildings and across streets, the Boston Garden had gained sentience. The citizens of Boston became focused on their own ability to grow and thrive, and gained a culture of resilience.
The Second Dunk & End of the Expansion Era
Due to events occurring in Blaseball during Season 21 the city became threatened again, firstly was the event known as the Second Dunk where the city was plunged deep into Immateria. This event began a chain reaction where the alternate realities connected to Boston via the space-time rifts either began to directly work together or began closing the rifts in an attempt to protect themselves.
The events of Season 24 was the most dangerous period in Boston's known history. The city was at risk of incineration by the Supernova Eclipse or Nullification by the Black Hole (Black Hole). A significant number of the rifts were closed during this time-period due to the existential threats at this time.
Neither incineration nor complete Nullification would ultimately come to pass due to Boston becoming Forced into the Vault, thus avoiding being completely Nullified.
Post-Expansion Era
This is the current time period, and no major historical events have occurred.
Information on the current state of Boston and its residents can be found on the Boston page.
