WINTER MASQUERADE [Holiday Event]
POSTED ON Dec 3, 2022 5:16:05 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]WINTER MASQUERADE: ROUND ONE [attr="class","omgenmid"] HOLIDAY EVENT OPEN MEGATHREAD ENDS JANUARY 31th, 11:59PM PST [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/635514454108405760/1048464210578919464/yt5s.io_-_Vitamin_String_Quartet_-_Last_Christmas_Visualizer_128_kbps.mp3[/player] Last Christmas | Vitamin String Quartet [break]YOU'RE INVITED!
AS DECEMBER USHERS IN A HOENN THAT HAS SURVIVED METENO, the National Museum of Natural History hosts a masked ball entitled the WINTER MASQUERADE. Located in Slateport's upper district, the venue is highly accessible, with proceeds from all tickets purchased sent to recovery funds for damages caused in Littleroot, Mt. Pyre, and all affected elsewhere in the aftermath of METENO's impact.[break][break]
A recently released press release at HNN details the event's formulation at the hands of Councilwomen Elinor Anderson and PENELOPE LIVY in coordination with Museum Director Dr. GIDEON GRAVES, as well as the many benefactors attributed to its funding.[break][break]
The event's invitations emphasize FORMAL WEAR ONY and, if possible, a formal accessory for accompanying Pokemon (e.g. bowtie). Battles will be prohibited, due to the peaceful nature of the event. As this is a masquerade, MASKS ARE REQUIRED.[break][break]
Delibird Deliveries has ensured that these invitations across all of Hoenn have been delivered in a prompt and discreet manner, overseen by the capable Locke Jamison to ensure neither rain, sleet, nor wormhole can keep any attendees from receiving their ticket to arrive.[break][break] Those who have trouble finding fashions appropriate for the event would find relief in the efforts of velda glaus and The House of Glaus, whose generous donations of several fashions for the event guarantee all can attend looking their best.
A SPARKLING SNOW BALL The finest classical musicians in Hoenn and their Pokemon have been hired to perform for this occasion with familiar songs of solstice cheer and winter romance. Their performance will begin shortly after attendees have arrived.[break] [break] [break] [break] The multiple levels of the museum have been cleared and rearranged to invite room to dance, giving patrons the opportunity to enjoy the exhibits without hindrance to the festivities. Attendees may pass through the Hall of Bones & Fossils, the Hall of Human Origins, and the Hall of Pokemon Life at their leisure, all of which have been transformed into a veritable winter wonderland.[break] [break] Several exhibits have been heavily advertised as part the later festivities. The Hall of Geology, Gems, & Minerals will include several particularly stunning jewels on display, having been salvaged from the mineral vein of METENO itself and donated on a loan by League Scientist Eva Morales. TOUCHING IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED, however.[break] [break] Later in the evening, the carefully curated biome of the Insectarium will provide a respite for aching heels, allowing for refreshments, dining, and private conversation beneath the light of Illumise and Volbeat. Moonlight streams through the panels of glass, offering an enchanting ambience to the surroundings.

ROUND ONE A SNOWSWEPT EVENING
Sleek cars and limousines line up outside of the National Museum of Natural History, which has been strung up in twinkling holiday lights and wreaths in celebration of the advent of the winter season.[break][break]
The higher echelons of Hoenn and the lowliest of the daily 9-5ers all are masked for this illustrious event, all indistinguishable from one another save for the transportation that ferries them here in their sparkling finery. Mr. Mimes serve as valets that greet at the entrance, ferrying off cars as needed and checking for elegant snowflake-patterned tickets -- courtesy of one Harper Beck's Circinus & Sagitta print shop (fern delaney).[break][break]
Rotoms flash brightly as guests step out of their vehicles, paparazzi to the attendees crossing the red carpet -- their appearance courtesy of ANA STONE's RotomTV, the official source of League coverage for this event. The Pokémon hover expectantly at the front of the museum and within its interior, taking footage and offering the opportunity for soundbites from any of the chattier guests.
NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM [break] As the revolving doors of the museum open wide, the welcoming foyer hosts plenty of room for mingling as the rooms beyond are roped off, Belial Stone's Anvil Inc. security guards standing by to prevent anyone from entering prematurely.[break][break]
There is much icy splendour and beauty to behold here. Gleaming ice sculptures of Dratini and Milotic dazzle the eye, expertly designed by luciano fisk, while beautiful wintry floral arrangements waft the delicate, sweet fragrance of willow atkins and Elisabeth Fiorelli's flower shops.[break][break]
"Welcome, welcome!" a female voice rings out as the attendees gather, her masked face revealing the beaming countenance of who you can only assume is the museum event coordinator. "On behalf of the National Museum of Natural History, we are delighted to have you here for the Winter Masquerade![break][break]
"As a charity gala, all efforts will be focused on helping repair the damage caused during the events of METENO. We hope you can enjoy yourselves fully knowing what a positive impact you're making on Hoenn today."[break][break]
She presses a gloved finger to her lips, winking. "I'd like to take a few moments to remind everyone of the expected rules and etiquette of today's event. Worry not, though! The dancing will begin shortly!"
