WINTER MASQUERADE [Holiday Event]
POSTED ON Jan 7, 2023 8:03:08 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]WINTER MASQUERADE: ROUND FOUR [attr="class","omgenmid"] HOLIDAY EVENT OPEN MEGATHREAD ENDS JANUARY 31th, 11:59PM PST CRYSTALLINE SPLENDOURS The ballroom significantly empties out as the exhibitions open, drawing interest from many of the attendees. While some examine the remnants of METENO and the Primal Crystals, others explore reminders of the ravaged region of Galar, and still others reminisce over the mysteries that exist in a very much present Sea!Hoenn.[break][break]
In the TERASTAL EXHIBIT, Gym Leader Josh Devlin showcases his expertise in Terastallization by claiming the first victory of the night. His crystalline TYRANTRUM defeats Elisabeth Fiorelli's FROSMOTH with a ferocious HEAD SMASH, shattering the amethystine Pokémon as the demo comes to an end.[break][break]
Meanwhile in the ballroom, a mysterious golden-eyed assistant leaves Locke Jamison's side to dance with velda glaus's Ditto at the centre of the ballroom, content to enjoy one another's company in silence. A drunk john nelson sways unsteadily near the bar, helped along by @girard just as a bell chimes to acknowledge the fortuitous start of the dining hour.[break][break]
After so much activity, a brief respite may be exactly what many attendees desire most.
DINING IN THE INSECTARIUM INSECTARIUM[break]DINING
Moonlight glimmers through the glass panels of the Insectarium's biome as it opens up for dining, the hushed starlight lending a more intimate and romantic air to its indoor environment. Elegant white dining tables have been arranged here, their sizes varying from as private as a table for two, to round tables that invite a circle of confidantes, to longer banquet tables that allow for larger gatherings.[break][break]
From this vantage point, the Insectarium's blooming flora is fully visible, particularly the butterfly gardens rife with Butterfree, Beautifly, Masquerain, and Vivillon, courtesy of John Sullivan and the (Unofficial) Bug Catcher Association. Across from here, a much smaller dance floor lit by the Volbeat and Illumise has been set up beneath an overhang of wisteria, a string quartet providing softer music than that which occupied the ballroom prior.[break][break]
Beyond this, a bridge crosses over a small stream of ornamental Magikarp, leading further into the lush environs with sprawling paths that find attendees rare solace within canopied alcoves -- whether they be seeking a rendezvous, or merely clandestine conversation.

FAQs ABOUT ROUND 4 FAQ 1) Can I join even if I wasn't in round one?[break] Yes! You're free to join this event at any point of its duration![break][break]
2) Was round two the only dancing part of the event?[break] No -- the ballroom will remain open for the rest of the event. You can ignore everything else that opens up and just stay here and dance if you like![break][break]
3) Am I required to join the dining in the Insectarium?[break] Nope! It's entirely optional. You can stay in the exhibits or the ballroom if you like.[break][break]
4) How long will the Exhibits be open (Including the Terastal Exhibit)?[break] For the rest of the event! So don't feel rushed to check everything out if you're currently having fun.[break][break]
5) I can't seem to find a dance partner![break] We recommend asking on Discord if anyone is looking to pair up, or alternatively, indicating in your TLDRs that you are open to being danced with! You can of course also simply ask IC and see what response you get.[break][break]
6) Can I recognize other masked people IC? I'm not sure how to interact.[break] The best method is always to ask the writer of the character how noticeable they want to be! However, we strongly encourage indicating in your TLDRs or in your posts themselves how recognizable you want your character to be.[break][break]
7) What happens if we don't fulfill all the prompts?[break] The event will continue as usual; it will simply affect the types of rewards you earn at the end of the round. That's literally all they're for, and to help guide things along![break][break]
