⋆✩ PRESENT TIME! ✩⋆

The Holiday Season is here, and we all know what that means - Presents!

While Pokemon in Bottlecap Bay may be limited in their resources, that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to go around for the purposes of gift creation (or even gift purchase)! Through December, everyone will soon become aware of the fact that even without human traditions to follow, there does seem to be a trend in exchanging presents at this time of year...

So with that in mind, this post is so that players might have a place to more easily have their characters do just that! Simply post a comment for each character, and this will act as a place gifts can be delivered. In turn, simply comment to character headers with gifts your own will be delivering.

If you're unsure about if a gift is possible, leave a comment under Questions, below. Beyond that, please have fun, and look forward to the event post in a few days!

WHAT: Viewing a meteor shower during a clear evening
WHEN: Early December
WHERE: A big hilltop picnic
WARNINGS: None (will change if any come up)

are you a star?

a. gathering

[Togetic- something of a figurehead for the hobby clubs and an overall advocate for relaxation- has been spreading the word! A meteor shower will be visible tonight! Everyone who's interested should gather up on Lookout Hill for the clearest viewing experience!

It is terribly cold lately, of course, especially at night. When Pokemon begin to arrive on the hilltop, they'll find chairs, blankets, and a kettle for serving hot drinks. Some Pokemon are huddling together to stay warm or just to be comfortable before the meteor shower begins!

Any Pokemon who were already here on this nice, quiet spot overlooking the city will soon find it's beginning to get just a bit quiet. At least there are other spots a bit further away that might offer more privacy...?

It's also a bit of a climb up the hill. Togetic and a few other winged Pokemon are escorting smaller ones up the hill-- though Flowey, stubborn as ever, notably refuses.]

b. star light, star bright

[The sky is clear and unclouded. A tapestry of stars is visible overhead. Some Pokemon are pointing out visible constellations. Though, sometimes if you look away, the stars might be just a little different than you remember. How odd...

A few others are setting up telescopes. If you want to use one, maybe you can even see other celestial bodies-- though you might be interrupted by Minior playing in the atmosphere.

All of a sudden, some Pokemon cry out in surprise. Is that a Minior, too...? No, it's the first shooting star of the night! Make a wish!]

c. shining with hope

[The meteor shower has begun in full. Streaks of light cascade across the heavens. Pokemon of all shapes and sizes gaze enraptured towards the sky.

Although... that one is awfully large, isn't it? And it's getting closer! A few Pokemon run in panic!

Fortunately, the falling star is actually too small to hurt anyone. It simply 'thunks' down in a snow bank. Togetic extracts a rather large Moon Stone. They and other Pokemon decide to take it to the Lum Guild for study.

However, other resourceful Pokemon might be able to gather Stardust, entire Star Pieces, or even fragments of Moon Stone! While the former don't have a use and the latter are much too small to be used for evolution, at least they're pretty. Some Pokemon begin talking about making accessories or decorations from them.]

d. farewell

[Soon, the meteor shower comes to an end. Some Pokemon decide to stick around longer, but many begin to make their way towards their homes-- and their warm beds.

Flowey remains behind, still staring up at the sky. He's been... unusually cooperative and quiet tonight.

If you draw near, he doesn't quite look at you.] ... what a show.

[Or, maybe you're also lingering in silence. Finally, he might approach you.] Not heading home yet? Aren't you cold?

e. wildcard approaching

[Wildcard option. Feel free to make your own prompt here or throw something at Flowey, or message me on plurk at

friendlyflower

As a note, feel free to use the Togetic NPC if you want to in these threads. Just assume they're a helpful character who wants everyone to have fun and enjoy the meteor shower.]

[Firoza is getting better at not letting errant thoughts or emotions push through the Grumpearls on accident. Really! It happens less and less, and she's proud of that.

No, this message is made consciously and with an effort not to let too much of the underlying feelings about it bleed into what she says.]

...Fuck.

I suppose - I've been so busy with things and a little distracted, I forgot my own Nameday. It was three days ago, I'm...thirty-one winters old now.

[A sigh, which coupled with the expression on her lil Nidoran face conveys more than her words. It's ponderous, a bit self-depricating, and finding the whole thing kind of funny.]

It almost feels like I ought to be older, with all I've seen before I came here. But it is what it is. Maybe I ought to do something small for myself to celebrate...? A big party would be...I don't need that, but I should mark the occasion. What would you all suggest?

guilmon posting in

bottlebay

[Guilmon greets the network in a cute little scarf outside one of the local bakeries. He's got what appears to be a gingerbread Pikachu in his claws, and he sniffs it a few times before speaking.]

...So, is gingerbread a bread or a cookie? It's got bread in the name, but it's harder and crunchier like a cookie! Sweet breads exist, and I guess some bread does get really tough, especially if you leave it out for too long.

But what makes something bread and something not bread if it's all baked?

[A tingle of anxiety dances through his thoughts. Clearly, this is a matter of grave importance!]

Who: Catrina, you, and WORMSMAS (Catrina no!)

What: An in general Catchall with a side of quests should they come up :'3c

When: Throughout all of December!

Where: Bottlecap Bay and most certainly the Spire...Catrina WHY?!?

Warnings: Peens being drawn, Catrina being Catrina, Catrina's lack of understanding of how mammals/birds work, amphibian trivia (Trust me its needed), and more to be added as the month goes on.

cedricthegreat posting in

[Cedric sits in his sleeping spot at Oran's low-tier housing. In the background, there are still some of his molted feathers from the last two months, albeit in a much smaller and less unwieldy stack. Much more organized is the sparkling collection of trinkets, at which the Murkrow gazes proudly before speaking to the Grumpearl.]

Good morning, fellow people- er, Pokémon. For those who don't know me, you may call me Cedric the Great, Cedric the Sensational, or just Cedric if you prefer.

Now when Siffrin and I located Delcatty's friend Furfrou, they thanked us in the form of this rock.

[He holds up a talon containing, you guessed it, a shiny rock.]

Despite the feline getting this somehow, they couldn't tell me what it is, and because the archives are utterly useless, nothing I could quickly dig up there proved informative either. I can only presume it pertains to the type we call Fire since, well look at it.

Therefore, if anyone else can enlighten me on this thing's properties, it'd be most appreciative. For such an apparently valuable gift, I would love to know what exactly I can do with it.

sharpjustice posting in

[Mayaka places the Grumpearl on the bare floor of her newly acquired accommodations. To anyone tuning in, they'll see that this angle has created a fisheye effect, blowing up the lower part of her white Sneasel body and shrinking her head.]

Um... hello? This is Mayaka. I got here a few days ago and I'm a new member of the Lum Berry Guild.

[She speaks tentatively, assuming that the pearl is working. This reminds her of class introductions on the first day of school.]

Does anyone here know how to deal with these? [She waves her claws at the Grumpearl, trying to show the purple tint covering them -- a naturally-occurring venom Hisuian Sneasels produce.]

I poisoned someone - accidentally of course - and I don't want that to happen again! [The strict tone she uses seems to be directed at herself.]

[As Mayaka waits for a response, she looks around her tiny bedroom. It's sparse now, but she's been itching to set up a space to draw again. She hasn't picked up a pen since she landed here.]

... And also, if anyone knows where to get paper and pens, that would be nice too.

[This is a softer request, as if she'd be okay if no one heard. It's not obvious that she's asking about art materials, right? She doesn't even know if she has enough allowance to afford it after spending on basic necessities. Maybe it's pointless to ask.]

[ eleanor's finally got a pearl, and she's figuring out how it all works. she's more than used to telepathic communication, having favoured it for communication between herself and her father back in rapture mere weeks ago. granted, she shared no pair bond with anybody here. where she is in this pearl isn't obvious, but it's quite dark, save for her face being illuminated by the grumpearl's faint light.

this pearl message, though, probably comes across much brighter and significantly louder to any poor, unsuspecting members of the network than eleanor seemingly has any intent for it to be. ]

Hello! Can you all hear me!

[ noticeably, her mouth isn't moving. she's worked out how this all works quite quickly, it seems. that being said, she does giggle out loud.

sorry to all who are subjected to this, you are being mentally flashbanged by a seventeen-year-old. brainblasted, if you will. ]

WHAT'S A LOVE MEME?

For players new and old, this is a chance to share your love for each other! Give compliments, gush about someone's playstyle, character writing, anything that sparks joy!

All you have to do is post your handle, and the characters you play - other people will then comment to your post, with whatever they like!

The only catch? You gotta share the love. Once you've left your own comment, we want you to go leave some love for the others as well - try to hit at least five other people, including people you don't have CR with yet!

Go on, go on, hop to it!

Hello, friends! It's about to be December again, and you know what that means: the fact I am posting this actually before December 1 means

karzilla reminded me about the existence of linear time again. Wait, no -- well, yes, but also -- okay, look, let me back up and start again: it's almost December, and that means it's time for our annual December holiday points bonus.

The standard explanation: For the entire month of December, all orders made in the Shop of points and paid time, either for you or as a gift for a friend, will have 10% of your completed cart total sent to you in points when you finish the transaction. For instance, if you buy an order of 12 months of paid time for $35 (350 points), you'll get 35 points when the order is complete, to use on a future purchase.

( The fine print and much more behind this cut! )

Thank you, in short, for being the best possible users any social media site could possibly ever hope for. I'm probably in danger of crossing the Sappiness Line if I haven't already, but you all make everything worth it.

On behalf of Mark, Jen, Robby, and our team of awesome volunteers, and to each and every one of you, whether you've been with us on this wild ride since the beginning or just signed up last week, I'm wishing you all a very happy set of end-of-year holidays, whichever ones you celebrate, and hoping for all of you that your 2026 is full of kindness, determination, empathy, and a hell of a lot more luck than we've all had lately. Let's go.
