[attr="class","star2tsu4"]Huffing and puffing, the snowball fight between Tsubaki and her Zorua seems to have ended in a draw, both of them gotten too cold to continue after a while with no discernible victor in sight. [break][break]

They arrive at the shrine, attracted by the warmth. [break][break]

"'Hopes and aspirations', huh...?"[break][break]

Baki stares at the statue for a long while. She knows now what Michael Navidson sees in it. Jade construction could never do it justice. The roar that accompanied it cutting through the skies, moments before the ceiling dropped in on her head... that was the moment that set her on this path, in retrospect. But a path to where, exactly? It's too early to say. [break][break]

Hard to measure whether that's good or bad just yet. Perfect for the arbiter of conflict hanging over this region's skies.[break][break]

"... Huh. Hope I can get a day off in the next year...?"[break][break]

That's all she can think of, writing it down and sticking it in an envelope, tossing it in with the rest. Her Zorua concurs, yipping happily and nuzzling her cheek. [break][break]

Yumi tilted her head as she listened to Mei Liu's and nabi park's answers. "We will go after the event is over, then," Yumi said, making the decision for all three of them. "Until then, you can think about what to pray for." [break][break]

She saw no need to mention that she'd already visited and prayed for a prosperous year. There was no harm in visiting the shrine again with her friends. [break][break]

Turning her attention to her snowboy, Yumi admired it, pleased with how it looked. Zokkun had done a good job recreating another of his species, albeit somewhat larger than normal. [break][break]

"You're so talented," the woman told the Cubchoo, patting him on the head with great fondness. The little bear smiled despite his sniffles.

Deimos hopped over to Mei, a strand of red berries in his mouth. Mei took it from him thoughtfully, wondering if she could use it for her snowboy.[break][break]
"Let's get drinks after," she added to Yumi Hasegawa's declaration. "A girl's night."[break][break]
She smiled at nabi park, curious about the other woman's background. She enjoyed spending time with Yumi, and didn't mind the idea of Nabi tagging along.[break][break]
As she turned back to her snowboy, a flashing in the distance caught her attention. One of the roaming dragons - a Salamence - had released a small jet of flame nearby to the shrine. Careful, she thought, amused. It would be unfortunate if all our hard work melted. Wasn't there an ice sculpture here, too? Foolish to allow fire anywhere near the event, she thought.[break][break]
But then again, it was the year of the dragon.[break][break]

Tsume seemed positively delighted at Aurelie Lefevre 's acknowledgment of his presence. He chirped with delight and started packing snow together, offering her a clumped handful to assist in the construction of her own snowboy. The Mawile, noticing the Sandshrew's greeting, flashed him a gleeful grin in reply. [break][break]

By this point, Eddie had arrived on the scene as well, striding over with only a small bit of sheepish embarrassment for his Pokemon, [break][break]

“Heya! Yeah, little buddy's one a' mine. Sorry if he's been givin' ya any hassle,” he chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck, “That's Tsume, and I'm Eddie. Feels like I've spent half the damn day tryin' to chase him down.” [break][break]

Tsume, for his part, didn't even have the decency to acknowledge his trainer, and continued to content himself with packing more snow. Eddie's eyes glanced over at the Alolan Sandshrew, and widened with interest, [break][break]

“Woah, cool Pokemon! Don't often see the Alolan ones runnin' around these parts.”[break][break]

"Oh, good!"[break][break]

Gloved hands are clasped in delight, and Luka's cheeks glow with happiness. Despite the smiling faces of those around her, it's still nice to hear some actual validation. There's nothing she likes more than bringing a little bit of joy to others.[break][break]

"But you should make a habit of having fun more often, Monsieur," she continues— a mild scold softened by that ever present smile. "Ehe...to be honest, I've been working until now. But that's okay! Today is about making sure everything goes perfectly for our guests, y'know?"[break][break]

But now that she has a little break, the childlike urge to play in the snow rears it's head. Vanilla agrees— the Vulpix yips softly and buries deep into a snowdrift, then pops out the other side a minute later, showering her trainer in a few frosty flurries.[break][break]

"I have a little time though," she concedes, starting to roll up a snowball properly this time. "So we can play around a bit...i-if you don't mind?"[break][break]

EVENT ENDS: FEBRUARY

SHOWTIME

As the afternoon sky bleeds into evening, another announcement draws the attention of festival guests. luka chêne, using her connections and a little bit of charm, has managed to get DESIREE BLOOMS to agree to a performance. As the time for her show draws near, guests are welcome to come gather around the stage, or enjoy the music from the snowfields around them. Either way, it's sure to be a wonderful show![break][break]

The atmosphere, which was already jovial, becomes electric as Desiree takes the stage. She's flanked by two more dragons: an Altaria each from Remiel Calcifet and luka chêne. Their soft and fluffy appearances perfectly compliment the lovely performer as she addresses the gathered crowd.[break][break]

"Hi my loves~ ♡ Keeping warm, I hope?" Desiree smiles as the two Altaria produce dragon flames that burst above her in the colors of fluctuating pink and gold. They form her name, Desiree Blooms, in whimsical text before shattering, casting dragonfire petals through a sea of pink tonic.[break][break]

"Let's kick off the new year with something special~! It's unreleased, sue me."[break][break]

[player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1194150055913988257/1196582791903723560/Magdalena_Bay_-_Dreamcatching_Official_Video.mp3[/player]

Loud cheers mingle with the music as the performance concludes. The two Alteria perform a dragon dance behind the artist, finishing the show off with another burst of colorful flames. Even after the show ends, the energy in the air remains electric and upbeat, adding another level of excitement as the festivities continue.

Covered in snow flurries, those bits of sparkling white compliment her long pink hair. That and her gentle scolding (if he could even consider it that) tug a genuine smile onto his lips. “I’m having fun already, believe it or not! After all, It’s not often that I get to see snowfall in Hoenn.”[break][break]
His little Mawile sees this interaction and nearly seethes, if not for all this snow to cool her fiery temper. She’s been scolded heavily by Tai before to control her jealousy, and this time she’ll make an attempt. Perhaps she’ll befriend the perky trainer’s Vulpix instead..[break][break]
He packs more snow against the mound he works on. It’s lumpy and misshapen, like a child made it. “You’re welcome to join us. But I'm not used to working with snow. How am I doing?"[break][break]

The festivities continued to kick off and the joy of winter time was in full swing. Yuina was absolutely delighted that her dearest and closest friend DESIREE BLOOMS was performing. She truly was an angel, both in her life and as a presence on stage, Desiree was like no one else Yuina could ever imagine in this life or otherwise. Her bestie had such a light about her, she filled the stage with all of the glowing love that she had in her heart every day, and listening to her music, her words, it was a treasure that Yuina would cherish always.[break][break]
The many stalls that adorned the festival grounds had food and drinks like hot cocoa in spades, Yuina made sure to get some hot cocoa for the cold weather, smiling at the warmth that filled her hands in holding the cup close.

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]It's not a proper winter without a decent snowman.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]When the friendly Mawile's trainer hurried over with a cheerful greeting and a sheepish chuckle, Aurelie was quick to smile back. "Hi! No need to apologize—he hasn't been a bother at all," she assured the man, waving her hand in lighthearted dismissal. "I only wish I had as much energy as he does!"

Gesturing toward herself and then to her Alolan Sandshrew, she added by way of introduction, "I'm Aurelie, and this is Verglas. It's nice to meet you both, Eddie and Tsume."

Seeing Eddie eye her Pokemon with interest, Aurelie beamed. "Thank you! Isn't he great? I found him in the Safari Zone almost a year ago exactly. Usually, Hoenn doesn't get cold enough for him to be comfortable, so I figured I should let him enjoy the snow and ice while it lasts."

As she spoke, the redhead gradually became aware of another announcement, followed by the sounds of applause and music from a stage set up in the midst of the festival. Without even realizing it, her head started nodding and bobbing along in time to the infectious, lively beat. She didn't recognize the song, but the female singer's voice sounded vaguely familiar.

"Well, I guess it wouldn't be a festival without some live music," she commented aloud, turning her head toward the performance. A faint, embarrassed flush crept along her cheeks as she asked, "Do you know the artist? I'm not much of a music person, so I usually have no idea who the popular musicians or bands are at any given time."

Eddie grinned brightly as introductions were exchanged, and he listened intently as Aurelie Lefevre explained how she had come to meet Verglas, [break][break]

“Huh, that's pretty cool. Haven't had a chance to get out to the Safari Zone yet, but I oughta check it out while I'm on this side of the region.” [break][break]

It was then that Eddie also started becoming aware of dreamy, synth-y, pop-y music drifting their way from the stage in the distance. He turned his head to try and hear the lyrics a little more clearly, but was unable to catch much over the din of the crowd. When he turned back, his grin returned in earnest when he noticed his companion thoroughly enjoying the tune, [break][break]

“Nah, didn't quite catch who they said was performin', and if I'll be honest, my own taste in music is pretty all over the place,” he chuckled, “Unless it's a band from 2007, I'm probably not gonna remember their name.” [break][break]

That was probably dating himself pretty hard, but hey, what could ya do? [break][break]

Yumi grinned. "Drinks would be perfect," she agreed, linking her arms with both Mei Liu and nabi park, intending to lead the way to the dragon shrine. [break][break]

"Do you two have any suggestions on where we should go?" [break][break]

At that moment, however, the stage lit up with all the energy of a concert. Yumi did not recognize the woman flanked by two Altaria, but she paused to listen to the music anyway. Truthfully, it wasn't bad at all. [break][break]

At the back of the crowd, Yumi scanned the sea of people for other familiar faces. She took note of a few—such as Yuina Higashi and Aurelie Lefevre, both of whom she'd only met once. [break][break]

What a small world.

Watching the ribbons of pink hair flow around the stage as Desiree sang, Yuina couldn't wait for her to finish her set so that they could enjoy the rest of the festival together. So far, she felt like it was a nice time, just getting to observe and interact, representing the Rangers.[break]
Spending more and more time around the region, Yuina thought that she was seeing more and more familiar faces, even ones that looked possibly vaguely familiar in a passing glance, like Yumi Hasegawa, she looked awfully familiar but not enough for her to recall exactly...[break][break]
And then she even saw some surprising faces like Aurelie Lefevre... Yuina still didn't know her name, but she would recognize the woman anywhere, as the one who had tried to attack her beneath the swamps out of the control that the megalopolans thrust upon them all...[break]
That wasn't a very festive memory...

Nabi thought quietly to herself about what she could pray for. A prosperous year? A good year? What made a year good? She never did come up with an answer. Already, they were moving along. The suggestion of drinks and Yumi Hasegawa's arm cuffed at hers made the young girl startle. Her cheeks glowed a rosy red to be joined like this with the two women.[break][break]

Girl's night? Nabi never had one of those before. Maybe she did when she was very young, but if she did, she couldn't even remember. Her heart skipped as she walked alongside Yumi Hasegawa and Mei Liu, unfamiliar with the sense of camraderie.[break][break]

Her eyes darted up to look towards the stage where DESIREE BLOOMS began her performance alongside the two altarias. She had come to the event on a whim since she was in the area, but she had no idea it was stacked with activities! "They must have drinks nearby," Nabi said, eyes peeling at the area for signs and advertisements. "You can't have these kinds of events without food and drinks."[break][break]

Nabi wasn't going to mention she had a low tolerance for alcohol.[break][break]

Eventually, the beautiful dragon disappeared from Gracie Mae's view, but her attention would now be invited by the lull of DESIREE BLOOMS's lively performance. Immediately, Gracie Mae made her way to where the crowd was joined so that she could stand in full view of DESIREE BLOOMS's musical event. She had never heard the song before, but it made for easy listening and lured her body into a gentle sway. Like the jovial child that she was, Gracie Mae jumped in beat with the music, hand raised in the air, and pretended to sing along with the lyrics that she didn't know.[break][break]

POSTED ON Feb 1, 2024 22:03:56 GMT

[attr="class","aurelie"]

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]It's not a proper winter without a decent snowman.

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]Aurelie visibly relaxed and grinned back at Eduardo Hisakawa as he too admitted his cheerful lack of recognition of the performer currently singing onstage. "Thank goodness, I was worried I was about to get a lecture about my ignorance about pop culture and famous music! But I guess that makes two of us, as far as non-music experts go."

She couldn't help looking back up toward the stage, especially as bursts of colorful pink and gold flames shot through the air. When Aurelie pulled her gaze away, she saw a face in the crowd that brought her up short. I...know her, she thought, her chest tightening with a feeling of anxiety and guilt.

The redhead hadn't expected to recognize anyone at the festival, but the sight of Yuina Higashi brought back memories of a murky green swamp, a shimmering cave, and a noxious purple chain stretching from her body. She swallowed, recalling something else. She remembered seeing this girl's face contorted in shock and horror—because Aurelie, infected by madness, had just attacked her out of the blue.

Aurelie gulped, her smile fading. But she'd vowed to be done running away from things. So, instead, she looked back at Eddie and bit her lip. "By the way, I just saw someone in the crowd that I should...well, that I should apologize to. So, I'm going to head over there."

A faint glimmer of humor lit up in her single eye. "I guess you can come along if you feel like it. It might be some decent drama, especially if I get slapped in the face, as I deserve. But feel free to not if you'd rather avoid all that."

With that, she took a deep breath and strode over toward Yuina, not even sure what she wanted to say to her but knowing she wanted to say something. Aurelie paused before the young woman in the Ranger's uniform and cleared her throat awkwardly. Then she held out her hand in its woolly, snow-dusted mitten in both a gesture of greeting and a show of harmlessness and peaceful intent.

"Hello," she ventured, looking at Yuina. "I, um, I don't know if you remember me from everything that happened with the Bloodmoon Beast in Route 119, but, uh, if you do remember..."

The words emerged in a rush. "I just wanted to apologize for what happened there and for coming after you the way I did! I'm really sorry it happened, and if I'd been in control of myself, it wouldn't have happened! And if there's anything I can do for you in the aftermath of all that, please let me know!"
