Event end - Mega Evolution

[bravenewmods]

As people face their fears and insecurities, the images slowly fade away as they are funneled into a singular cavern room. The walls are lined with floating images - records of the trials faced playing across the walls. Hovering above the floor in the center of the room is a strange Pokémon, its eyes closed in meditation. As more people enter the room, the swirling memories begin to form around the Pokémon, coalescing into a symbol. As the images merge with the Pokémon, it appears changed.

Greetings, Humans of the New World.

The voice is soft, warm, and nurturing.

I am Diancie. I guard the gate to the final evolution. I have heard much of you. I am pleased to say that others have spoken quite highly of you. I am here to give you a gift, one never before granted to humanity. But then, many among you are not entirely human anymore, are you?

Be warned, the power I give today is not to be taken lightly. We have observed your progress and we are pleased with your triumphs. Sparing your kind was not a mistake! It is our hope that you will use this for good use.

[OOC: With that, the event has officially ended and things will return to normal. Characters may use this post to ask questions of Diancie.]

Smiting?

[She knows, intellectually, what that word means, though she's never really considered its practical applications.]

Er. No, not as such. ...Why do you ask?

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

[ A little too quickly ] No reason!

Forget I said anything. [ So, here he was. Little ol' Rincewind practically cornered by some god pokemon...thing. One that could fling gems around all willynilly. He picks one of the discarded gems out from a fold in his robes and casts a scrutinizing gaze over the tiny, shiny thing. ]

I suppose, now that I've unwittingly got your attention, I should ask you something? Can't think of what else I'd have to do, unless ... I dunno ... I have to grovel? I don't know if gods like a good grovel before lunch. I haven't met many gods.

In fact, you probably hear this a lot, but you're my first.

[bravenewmods]

Oh, dear.

[Thankfully, gods are agender and are Pokemon besides, so that particular remark goes over her head.]

You can grovel if you'd like!

[She allows kindly.]

I can't say I've ever been groveled at, though.

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

Oh ... er, if it's all the same to you, I'd rather not have to?

[ a beat ]

Have you been here long? Er, in this cave?

[bravenewmods]

I couldn't say.

[She pauses thoughtfully.]

It's difficult to keep track of time here... Primarily, I slumber and await those who would seek this power...

[morituri_nolumus_mori]

What a life. Lying around 'til someone finds you. I'm almost jealous.

[ He gives the room another scrutinizing look-over. Rincewind runs a weathered hand through his scraggly beard. ]

When I wake up, I usually wake up hungry. Aren't you?
