bravenewworld | Not a creature was stirring, not even a Pikachu....

All across Union, its citizens prepared to ring in the Salvation holiday with cheer. Dedicated to their beloved Savior, many of the houses were decorated with garlands, ornaments and other fineries in preparation for this truly special holiday, and while it had been uncharacteristically cold the last few days, not a single flake of snow had fallen. Children eager to start the festivities the following day did their best to stay up in the hopes of possibly catching a glimpse of one of the Delibirds they saw the previous night. However, try as they might, the late night would get the better of them, and soon the city was asleep, nestled warm in their beds, dreaming of parties and presents, candies and cakes.

As they slept, the first snow began to fall, snowflakes silently dancing through the night sky, dusting rooftops and covering sidewalks in pearly white. It would seem that a Salvation miracle was at work in Union that night. The streets were empty, save for a young woman and Pokémon, scarcely visible even in the lamplights. Her steps made no sound, even in the accumulating snow, and she left no footprints, the strange Pokémon by her side taking the time to peer into every window.

Should anyone wake during this peaceful snowfall, they might find the young woman and her companion in their room, transparent as a fog, a placid smile on her face. She did not speak, but simply smiled warmly, almost maternally, before disappearing from view.

When dawn finally broke, the people of Union would find a simple gift within their home, rested alongside a familiar note. The snow from last night coated buildings, streets, and sidewalks, blanketing the city in white and shimmering in the gentle, early morning light.

((OoC: This is a Salvation Mingle Log for all characters. There are decorations and the like in various squares for celebration around Union, so feel free to tag around!))

Why would you think that it's a joke? A present is a present, after all.

And of course ghosts exists. Why else do we have Ghost Pokemon?

Well, Ghost Pokemon are a little different from Ghost stories. You can't really compare the two of them-- not when Ghost Pokemon still can leave eggs if you leave them in the Breeding Center.

And I'm just not sure how I feel about some ghost I don't even know being so concerned about my social life!

Well, yeah...but how else would they start existing if someone didn't become some kind of ghost in the first place?

And what's wrong with that? Maybe they just wanna be friends, but they're too shy.

[Waver made a frustrated, non-commital sound. There was no arguing Right's point, but that didn't detract from the fact that he was uncomfortable with things he couldn't explain. Details he could confirm scientifically were what he valued, not folk tales.

But, with no evidence, what else could he rely on?]

Okay, then. Supposing you're right about all this-- how am I supposed to befriend a ghost that doesn't stick around?

[Right just shrugs. Such details don't bother him as much as they may bother Waver, apparently.]

I dunno. Wait until she comes back around?

And be nice to her when she does, of course.
