EVENT ENDS: FEBRUARY



NEW YEAR, NEW ME



This January, the lush greenery of Route 119 has been transformed into a winter wonderland. For the past two years, Galarian Darumaka have been coming here in droves to build snowboys, and this year is no exception. However, this time around the festivities are far more coordinated. The Pokemon Ranger’s PR rep, Miss , has recognized the snowboy event as a popular gathering place for locals, so she and her fellow rangers are capitalizing on the opportunity to ring in the new year– and have a blast doing so![break][break]

It’s a new year after all, and with it comes untold possibilities. ‘New year, new me’ as the saying goes, and what better way to exemplify this platitude than with the ranger’s amnesty program? This event has been coordinated in order to showcase the benefits of the program, and to help assuage the doubts that civilians and other league members might have about former rockets reforming themselves. [break][break]

Many of the volunteers at the event are amnesty members, though of course they haven’t been singled out. After all, the point is to make them feel welcomed into the rangers, not ostracized. Some, however, are more noticeable than others. stands out of course, and his generous donation to the cause is what makes much of the day possible. [break][break]

Of course, there are several others who have made invaluable contributions. Nothing would be possible without , of course! And other amnesty members, such as , have lent their talents to the cause. In order to protect rocket defectors, Luka has hired several League officers, including and , to provide security. Many of Remiel’s dragons also help patrol the area, though some of them seem more keen on sneaking treats from delighted children or napping next to the bonfires that help keep festival-goers warm.[break][break]

It's taken a lot of work to pull everything together, but once the stage is set, everything feels worth it. Now, all that's left is to wait for people to arrive and take in the wonderous sights before them.
[break][break][break][break]

THE FESTIVAL BEGINS


Snow-covered trees perimeter a clearing near Hoenn’s Weather Institute. They all sparkle with glittering fairy lights, encircling the festival in a warm and comfortable light. Within the clearing is an array of food stands, where festival-goers can indulge in all kinds of treats. There’s warm cider, hot chocolate, and mulled wine (for the adults!), Dipplin themed caramel apples, gooey mochi, and bowls of piping hot soba noodles, among other things! Vendor stalls sell masks, homemade crafts, and a variety of dragon-themed goodies for the new year. A small shrine has even been erected, reminiscent of the Draconid shrine that rests in the Dragon’s Den.[break][break]

At the center of the clearing is a large ice rink, formed courtesy of . Skate rentals are available for anyone who’d like to take a few laps around the ice! This isn’t the only service Isaac has graciously provided– with Luka’s aesthetic sensibilities and his talents combined, he’s created an array of gorgeous, intricately carved ice sculptures that stand guard around the festival. In keeping with the theme, they all resemble dragon type Pokemon. Amongst their number are elegant, undulating Dragonair, fierce Salamence, friendly-looking Drampa, cute Tatsugiri, and an enormous serpentine Rayquaza.[break][break]

However, the main attraction is still the snowboy building contest! A vast field of white serves as the stage, and the snow is perfectly packable to build snow sculptures, or to throw snowballs at unsuspecting friends! A group of Galarian Darumaka and Darmanitan patrol the fields, observing the snowboys being built and offering their critiques. They seem eager to play along with those that want their help, and the fields sing with a chorus of happy chatter and bubbling laughter.[break][break]

The festivities are already underway, but just barely. Before things get too out of hand, steps up to make an introductory speech. As he crosses the venue’s open air stage, some of the chatter begins to die down, and eyes turn towards him.[break][break]

“Hey everyone! Hope y’all are having fun today!”
The Head Ranger’s voice caries easily over the crowd as he stands onstage, wearing his usual charismatic smile. “Thanks for coming out! As you know, this is a celebration for everyone, but especially for those in need of a fresh start.”[break][break]

His green eyes flicker for a moment, reminded first of and . “Thanks to everyone in the amnesty program for the work you do, and especially to for pulling this event together. Let’s have a great new year together, everyone!”[break][break]

He grins, raising his fist in the air. [break][break]

“Alright, let’s have fun today!”[break][break][break][break]

ROUND ONE


Consider including the following prompts in your post to aid in snowboy rolls and earn rewards! Using a prompt from this round will also reward a regular gachapon ticket.[break][break]
  • Reference 's speech and/or the ranger amnesty program
  • Interact with a character yours has never met
  • Participate in one of the festival activities
  • Play in the snow! (throw a snowball, make a snow angel, etc)
[break][break][break][break]

SNOWBOY SHOWDOWN




An annual tradition at this point, the snowboy showdown is now beginning its third year! However, this year an entire festival has sprung up around the event, hosted by the rangers in support of their amnesty program. In this mega-thread, your character can interact with others and participate in the festival while they attempt to create the perfect snowboy![break][break]

Characters that succeed will be able to redeem a gacha pokemon, and there will be additional rewards for fulfilling weekly prompts. This year, the snowboy event will also include four rounds that will introduce new elements as well as new prompts to fulfill. Posting for each round will grant a small reward![break][break]

Rocket and League characters are all invited to participate. However, please be mindful when interacting with others! While tension and drama is totally acceptable (go wild!), please refrain from all-out faction conflicts or brawls simply due to the nature of the event.[break][break][break][break]

RULES


Include a roll at the bottom of each post to craft a part of your snowboy. You must obtain all four parts in order to make one perfectly and claim your reward!

[attr="class","ynospace"]
  • Bottom: 1-25
  • Middle: 26-50
  • Top: 51-75
  • Decoration: 76-100


Participants are welcome to post more than once per day, but can only roll once per day to build their snowman. You do not have to reference the building of a snowman in every post and may engage in other activities with your character and others.[break][break]
Including one of the weekly prompts into your post will allow you to add or subtract 10 points from your roll.[break][break]
All of your characters may participate in the event. Each character is eligible to earn all rewards, so long as the requirements are filled!

she stands off to the side with thin gloves on, clutching a steaming paper cup of tea tight. tea, not coffee. though this particular blend is not without its caffeine, it's at the very least a step in the right direction. despite the persisting headache she's had for days now. 

warmth seeps into her palm, but doesn't manage to travel very far. she loathes the cold. few people know why in its entirety, but that doesn't matter now. what matters is supporting her newest friend(?) as he welcomes folks to the festival.

she'll have to properly thank when she gets a chance too. it's not easy, putting something like this together, especially in the midst of everything else going on. 

"hey, stranger," she calls as he steps down from the stage.

[break][break] after his speech, the head ranger steps off the podium and immediately catches sight of . with all the work that they've been doing on the amnesty program lately, it's not a surprise to see the councilwoman here. still, it's nice to see a friendly face.

[break][break] ollie smiles at her, his cheeks ruddy and hurting from the cold. glancing above her shoulder, he realizes that it's a pretty good turnout. as he stares out at the mess of faces, he finds himself looking for someone.

[break][break] instead, he steps off the stairs and grabs a paper cup of hot chocolate that a passing ranger is handing out. he turns back to , smiling.

[break][break] "you try building a snowman yet, frey? or is that -" he says, eyes twinkling with mirth. "not your thing either?"

The prospect was great for those capable of change. She still wondered just how possible that was for her. [break][break]

Baki'd set herself on this path forged by the League elites, but whether that path was going in the right direction or not she still couldn't be sure. She was quite familiar being the target of these same kinds of people back home in Saffron. She'd almost condemn them for attacking children if she wasn't the kinda kid who sorely deserved it. [break][break]

"Mmh, it's cold."[break][break]

The ghost-light on her shoulder seems to agree, yipping happily in the falling snow. At the very least, he was happy. She reaches up to run her fingers through Koyo's mane, listening to the Head Ranger pay his lip service. [break][break]

"... a 'fresh start', huh..."[break][break]

Like the blanket of snow falling on the ground now, that was only an illusion. All it did was cover over everything. [break][break]

Eventually, that'd melt, too.[break][break]

For everything that Yuina had been getting used to in being a part of the ranger organization, making public appearances in representation and support of the organization was something still a little... New... to her...[break][break]
She was an Elite Ranger, only one step below the most tenured rank, so it was no wonder why she was sanctioned to be present at the event in support of the Amnesty Program by , but... She was still struggling with feeling like she was the right kind of representation, the right role model for the organization...[break]
But Yuina couldn't argue with Ollie, why would she? He thought so much of her and her work thus far... Still trying to earn wearing her blue armband everyday. If only she wasn't lying to him still...[break][break]
Crunching through the plentiful, sparkling snow, Yuina moved through the festival grounds, pretty bundled up as it was given the cold, and donning her blue ranger's badge and armband. A Scorbunny hopped along beside her, absolutely delighted at all of the snow, and Moroe the Zorua moved close at her heels, glancing around with shining yellow eyes.[break]
It seemed that Ollie was fairly busy, after having just stepped off stage, surely he had many different appearances and conversations he had to make during this whole thing, so Yuina was to move about the grounds and be a part of the festivities.[break][break]
Moroe sniffed around, padding along in the snow, until she glanced up and found on the shoulder of another woman, a Zorua just like her! Moroe yipped, trying to get the other fox's attention while Yuina glanced down at her own Pokemon.[break]
"Moroe, shizukana," Yuina spoke, a short word in their dead language, but the fox was insistent as Yuina looked up.[break][break]
"Oh, I'm sorry... We didn't mean to interrupt..."

Standing there in his Ranger uniform, Jack put a lot of effort into keeping himself from frowning at 's opening remarks. He was here to support the Ranger organization, whatever his misgivings were about allowing criminals to join their ranks under the pretense of reformation. The memory of his torture and the murder of his pokemon on the resurfaced island off Dewford distracted him from the joyful sounds of the event.[break][break]

While he was unhappy about the amnesty program, he had to admit that the event organizers had really outdone themselves. Shrugging, he took his bad mood over to the snowboy area, hoping to clear his head.[break][break]

"Let's have a great new year together, everyone!"[break][break]

Gracie Mae cheered and clapped for Ollie's short and sweet speech. She had her heart set on one thing and one thing only today - fun. Without a moment further, Gracie Mae broke from the crowds and found herself a patch of pure, untouched snow. "Whew!" She let gravity do the work for her and fell straight into the snow.[break][break]

"Ahaha! Winter simply is the best!" Gracie Mae sang as her arms and legs rhythmatically slid back and forth to form the perfect snow angel. It didn't matter to her if others saw her and judged her for being a child - wasn't that what this whole event was for? To find small moments of joy?[break][break]

Nabi skipped out on the formalities. "Who cares?" she thought to herself as others passed by with gleeful smiles. She carried a frown herself. She always felt incomplete and lonely during this time of year, during the holidays.[break][break]

Absentmindedly, Nabi scooped up a handful size of snow and patted it down in her gloved hands. With enough careful pressure, she had formed a sizeable snowball. She stared at her creation, thinking.[break][break]

Then she threw the snowball.[break][break]

Yumi arrived just a couple of minutes late, missing 's speech. Instead, she stepped up to the shrine erected to the side of the event's premises, where she lit a stick of incense. After offering up a brief prayer for a prosperous new year, she turned to her Cubchoo. [break][break]

"Are you going to help me build a snowboy, Zokkun?" she asked, giggling. The bear cub nodded vigorously, then sniffed hard in an attempt to wrangle the bubble of snot leaking out his nose. [break][break]

Not minding the poor Pokémon's sniffles, Yumi sauntered over to the snowboy building area and started packing snow together. Zokkun hopped over to assist. However, before they got very far, a snowball smacked the back of the head. [break][break]

Yumi whirled around, dark eyes immediately searching for the culprit. "Who threw that?!" [break][break]

So, that was , huh? Wow. What a hunk! Seeing his pictures in That's Hoenn! magazine really didn't do him justice. It was like someone perfectly sculpted his features out of clay! And he was so good with Pokemon, too, and so forgiving, and so well spoken, and so humble... Just seeing him was almost enough to make this whole trip worth it.

N-not that this was her whole reason for coming out here or anything, mind! First and foremost, Mitsuru was here to have a lovely day out with her beloved Pokemon! Being able to catch a glimpse of her "celebrity" "crushes" was just a happy coincidence, and nothing more. Besides, what was she supposed to do, not listen to his speech? Come on now. That would just be impolite! But now that the formalities were over and done with, she could fully dedicate herself to enjoying the festivities to the fullest with Shio and Ichi and Okiku and...

...Where did Trubby go?


"Trubbish, Trubbish, Trubbish ~ ♫"

Elsewhere, far from the watchful eye of his trainer, Trubby hummed himself a lovely tune as he aimlessly frolicked amidst the snow. What a lovely day to have fun! Things were truly beautiful in the life of this wretched little creature, who was quickly beginning to smell less like trash and more like wet trash. But that didn't bother him, no no no! Surely, nothing could ruin the fun this stinky beast was having.



TL;DR - Mitsuru listens to Ollie's speech (Prompt pog?) while her Trubbish goes on an adventure of his own.

As part of the Hoennian Pokemon Rangers, the royal ambassador brings along her Mismagius, shiny Zeraora, their two little Misdreavus sisters, her shiny Polteageist butler and his Poltachageist student to join in the fun at the Snowboy Showdown. Purple eyes light up at the sight of all of the neat decorations, 's dragons, and himself! When Ollie makes his speech, Elise listens since she is proud to be his protege in the ways of being a ranger cadet. [break][break]

Mana and Freyja watch over the two mischievous female Misdreavus since the Mismagius and shiny Zeraora were the babysitters. Chamomile the shiny Polteageist and Sencha the Poltchageist make some lighter conversation with each other while Elise makes a snowball to create her very own snowboy off from Route 119’s snowy ground.[break][break]

“Come help please.” When the Galarian princess spoke over to her team of ghosts, only her shiny Polteageist clad in a butler uniform and bowtie plus her Mismagius come to help her create it. The shiny white Zeraora watches the younger ghost type Pokemon play tag around with each other.[break][break]

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]It's not a proper winter without a decent snowman.
[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Bundled in a thick winter coat and cozy chenille scarf, Aurelie flitted merrily among the food stalls and hot drink vendors lined up within the clearing, unable to resist the hot chocolate, caramel apples, mochi, piping-hot noodles, and meat pies on offer. Not for the first time, she thought with amusement, Lucky for me my job requires so much physical exertion, or I'd be the size of a Snorlax by now!

When she had happily filled a cardboard tray with cups and cartons of drinks and food, Aurelie took the time to wander around the display of ice sculptures. Each sculpture was lit up with different-colored lights, lending a fiery gleam to a carved Salamence and a sapphire shimmer to a sinuous Dragonair. The redhead caught her breath in wonder at the beautiful sight.

She paused for a moment beside a sculpture of an Altaria, lit from beneath with soft white lights that gave it an almost angelic glow. Aurelie couldn't help recalling the airborne chase above the resurfaced island and her plummet to the earth, after the Ranger () shot at her Salamence. Gritting her teeth, she spun around abruptly and stalked off toward the central area dedicated to the snowboy contest.

Her Alolan Sandshrew slid along the ground beside her, perfectly at home in the cold with its hard, ice-covered body. Aurelie came to a stop next to a knee-high snowbank and began piling snow together in her mittened hands. She closed her mind to the memory and focused on the task of building a snowboy, ignoring snowballs and people moving past.

But this won't just be a snowboy, she thought ambitiously. Her lips curved upward in a broad grin and her single eye narrowed in fierce concentration. This'll be a snow...uhh... A snow robot! Cubical head, cylindrical arms and legs...it'll be perfect!

Of all people, who would've guessed her snowball would hit her.[break][break]

It was too late by the time the snow began its departure from her hand, its trajectory on target with precise speed. Every nerve jolted in Nabi's body, sending warning signals to her brain. In response to the woman's laced words, she stood upright as if she were under control.[break][break]

Even with sprinkles of snow in her blackened hair, Yumi was incredibly gorgeous. In fact, the snow made her look young, hip--like it had been purposefully put there for a commercial shoot, and Yumi was the unsuspecting girl about to advertise a catalog of winter-themed lingerie.[break][break]

There was but one thing for Nabi to do. Grovel.[break][break]

Her body whipped forward, the tip of her nose nearly scrapping against the ground in the process. "Ma'am! I sincerely apologize with every fiber of my worthless being! It was an accident!" Her words breathed out like an intense flame on this cool, winter day. "I didn't know you'd be here today...!"[break][break][break][break]

It’s not often he gets to participate in an event while also being a part of the security protocol. Not that he expects any madness to happen at a snow festival. Hopefully not, anyway. Once Ollie’s speech is over and done with, he decides to partake in the festivities for once[break][break]
His long-time companion, Mawile, is already having a blast playing in the snow. Watching as she begins to roll up some snow, Tai assists her.[break][break]

Bundled up in warmth for the winter festivities, after Ollie’s speech is delivered and done with, Toshiaki makes his merry way to the food stalls. Year of the Dragon is starting out strong it seems. All the decorations were a reflection of that. Acting as a makeshift scarf, Toshiaki’s Furret lazes around her beloved trainer’s shoulders, taking in the sights and the smells of all the different foods. It reminded him of Johto. The parts of it that were happy, anyway. He scratches underneath his Pokemon's chin, smiling.[break][break]
