Soulfasting Mingle
Who: EVERYONE
What: Soul Fast
When: During Soul Fast
Where: All over Ninetails Vale and in people's houses, etc.
Summary: The Celebrations of Soul Fast Begin!
It's that time of year again, and all throughout Union and in particular the Ninetales Vale, celebrations are beginning. A festival celebrating the passage of another year, of remembering and honoring the dead, and of placating particularly violent spirits has begun. Soulfasting, an old Union tradition, is one of the most popular holidays celebrated, with the Ninetales Vale being overrun with people of all ages.
Children scamper through the streets of the Vale in masks and costumes, begging for candy, while surly teenagers do the same and occasionally play pranks, and adults celebrate in a variety of fashions. Elaborate, highly fashionable costumes are all the rage, and even the nobility slips out into the Vale for a bit of fun. It's not exactly a popular destination most of the year, given the high concentrations of Dark and Ghost-types but during the festival it's most definitely in vogue and teeming with people all happy to help revitalize the area for a week.
The sounds of music drift through the air, celebratory tunes, dirges, jigs, and tunes for all ages. From the Kurain school on it's hill overlooking most of the Vale, a pipe organ solemnly plays out traditional tunes, and is surprisingly cheery for a ghost school. Across the neighborhood on another hill, Hikawa Shrine has it's doors wide open to welcome visitors, with decorations of all sorts set out.
Games are set up at both locations, including Apple Bobbing, Ducklett Pond raffles, and Pin the Scroll on the Spiritomb, though there are others set up all over the Vale's plazas. Skeeball, Target Shooting, Bell-and-Hammer games, and perhaps most strangely a “Whack-the-Diglett” that's been possessed by one of the local ghosts to give the little wooden Digletts faces all hideously angry ones. Eating contests, Pokemon Battle Circles, a Haunted House (with real ghosts!) and dozens and dozens of fortune telling stands all further add to a carnival atmosphere that even the dead can enjoy!
Lanterns and faux Spinarak webs hang from every lamppost and awning, and food stalls line the streets as vendors ply their wares. Food from all over is available, and it all seems to come together around a central square between the two hills. A stage has been set up, with musicians from all over the known world called in to show their stuff. There are dance tunes from Caldera, Union Pop and Jazz songs at work, setting crowds on fire. Sanctuary has sent a full orchestra to play various classical pieces, while Citadel's famous woodwinds and tribal drums surprise and delight. And towards the end of the day, a band from Glacier comes on stage. Their music starts out slow and ambient, but after a few sets they set up electric guitars and the gloves come off. A folk metal concert, complete with an armored warrior-woman doing the vocals and several of the soldiers from the battle weeks prior (some still bandaged) backing her up. It might be a bit shocking, but some of the youth are definitely getting into it...
And then night falls, and the party atmosphere becomes a little quieter. Plays, family meals, Ghost-story tellings, and more subdued activities become the norm though there's still a contingent of rowdies at the heart of the celebration. It's then that the ghosts really come out to play, slipping through walls to greet relatives or tease revelers. For the most part they seem friendly but not always. As usual, some specters of ill-repute have slipped in among the friendly ones, and they're making trouble. Good thing you have a Warp Band to call an exorcist, right?
((OOC: This is a general mingle log, feel free to put up your own top levels and tag around! Welcome to Soulfasting, everyone! We hope you enjoy =D ))

I do apologize, but I'm just trying to make it fun for the little ones.
no subject
Well just you remember who's the little one here, huh?
[Baneko oinks in agreement, puffing up her little Spoink-y chest.]
Had a lot of kids today?
no subject
[She put her lyre down.]
Aurora is mad I didn't dress as her this year.
no subject
[Seriously.]
I...didn't have much time to shop with the expedition last week, so all I managed was a Spoink. But Baneko loved it, and seeing as how Merrill and I have a couple bouncing around the house...it seemed appropriate.
[And, well, they had discovered the little things. But the less said about their initial encounter the better. She still wondered what possessed her to try those berries...]
no subject
Though, this costume might be a bit much for me. [She gave a small twirl, but grinned, quite liking the elegance of it all.]
I like the way it looks when it spins, however. [The fabric twisted around her legs before resting back into its proper place.]
This is an older kimono mom had and she's letting me have it. I touched it up from there.
no subject
[Grinning, Yuuna reached out and ran a hand along the fabric, squeezing it in places to get a feel for it.]
A real spooktacular costume.
[Reaching up to play with the pink bauble in her hair a little self-consciously, Yuuna added:]
Honestly, it looks natural on you. You've really grown into quite the vision, you know.
no subject
It helps me play the part, certainly. Who knows, after this perhaps I'll have Rei help me bond with a misdreavius and I'll go about it dressed like this. She certainly likes it.
no subject
[Have you ever seen a Sharpedo smile? Because that's the look Yuuna has at the moment.]
How much does she like it, huh? Because if I like it...then it must drive her wild.
no subject
The things that go on in our bedroom stays there, thank you very much.
1/2
[Wait. Wait...
A look of confusion came over Yuuna's face.
Bedroom? Ami?
Ho-ly crap!]
2/2
So you...and her. Hah. You went the whole nine yards then?
[The sharpness shifted out of her tone, away from her lips. Pride trickled into her every word now, genuine pride.]
Congratulations, sweetie.
no subject
But she presses a hand to her cheek.]
Actually... it... I do wish to take it even further than that. [She pulled the ring she palmed off of Rei from her pocket.]
I just need to get the ring fitted, and now that I know her ring size.. well...
no subject
But the ring? Holy...Yuuna's eyes popped when she heard that. Her mouth opened into a wide grin and both she and Baneko let out a squeal of delight!]
Wait. Wait. You...are going to propose?!
no subject
Sorry, I just... yes. But I want it to be a surprise. It... I realized how much... when we fought against Reshiram, the idea of losing her terrified me. More than that, I just... we've been through so much together and I know that with her beside me, I've nothing to fear.
no subject
You wanna go down the hill and talk then, hon? I mean away from her Pokemon? Since I assume you were looking for them.
no subject
[She held out her hand to Yuuna.]
no subject
Sure. Actually...here.
[She took the candy bucket from Ami and warps in Gouken. The Hitmonchan blinked.]
Give treats to children, Gouken. And...look after the Spoink for me, would you? I'll be back in a few.
[Nodding, the Fighting type sets to work.]
That way no kids are going to go without.
no subject
[She took Yuuna a bit away, Minerva spotting her but instead, she merely gave soft cries and brought children to Hitmonchan instead.
Once away from the shrine, she removed her hat and let out a sigh.]
no subject
Soooo, spill, sweetie. You're gonna propose, huh?
no subject
no subject
Where're you going? And what's the plan? How are you gonna?
no subject
no subject
[Yuuna blinked in confusion, stepping in to grab Ami by the shoulder.]
Calm down. That's definitely the most romantic thing I can think of too. That's what you're supposed to do, I think.
But...I've never proposed, or thought about it much.
[But lord knows Merrill won't...so she should get on that.]
no subject
She does love White Casablancas, I could get her a bouquet of them, or maybe just one with the ring on the stem... ah...[She blushed, she'd have to think about it more.]
Ah but, I'm going to ask her next month, make sure both our schedules are clear. With Soulfasting, the shrine is so busy, I want her to have nothing to worry about.
no subject
[Yuuna wiggled her eyebrows a bit, leaning closer. That was incredibly cute. It was...beyond cute, really.]
And I don't think you have anything to worry about, you know. She's a lucky girl, having caught your eye.
