It's time for the solstice!

[indigo_events]

Who: Everyone attending the Azalea festival!

Where: Azalea town and surrounding woods

When: June 21st

Summary: Celebi's come out, so it's time to throw a party in its honor!

Log:

It's Midsummer! Traditional festivities in Azalea are all in full swing, and this year even bigger and better than ever, thanks to the influx of curious tourists and Legendary Seekers drawn by the rumors in hopes of catching a glimpse of the elusive Celebi. Everyone in Azalea is putting out their finest, and the whole town is decked out with flowers in vases and pots, colorful streamers, and bright awnings under which vendors hawk their wares.

The fun doesn't stop there, however. Those time disturbances that have been popping up all over the place? They've become at once more localized and more benign. Flowers open quickly and stay in bloom without fading, a blissful moment seems to stretch into eternity, somehow you've managed to sample the food of a dozen different booths and it still is barely mid-morning. It's like a perfect moment somehow drawn out, suspended in time to savor as long as possible. Those who have a particularly fun few minutes may even find them repeated a few times!

Which perhaps should be no surprise, given that Celebi itself has come out to play! If you're lucky and paying close attention, you might even catch a glimpse of it flitting about from one place to another throughout the town and the nearby forest. It certainly isn't shy, though it is moving quite quickly and doing anything but staying in one place. Anybody who might attempt to catch or challenge it to a battle isn’t going to get anywhere at all—and stubborn trainers might find themselves stuck in a time loop for a few hours. There's simply so much to see and do, after all! Strangely enough, if any of the Legend Seekers are around, Celebi never seems to be anywhere to be found.

Eventually, though, the long day will come to an end, and the festivities with it. By morning, all the hubbub will be gone, and Celebi with it. But not quite without a trace: anyone who came to Azalea Town to participate in the festival will find in their belongings a single fossil as a parting gift from the Time Travel Pokémon.

[Considering she's a professional trapeze artist, it isn't surprising that Lust's wandered to investigate the Adventure Park. Sans Timothy, of course, as her gentleman has a great fear of heights.]

[But she spots a familiar face, contemplating the ziplines very cautiously.]

Going to give it a try?

[brokencode]

Me? [Angel turned, facing Lust knowingly. She knew the sound of the woman's voice, and could easily make a number of guesses as to why she was present at the park. She'd mentioned being part of the circus at one point, after all.]

I don't think I'm nearly brave enough to try something like this.

[a_sin_for_him]

Yes, you. It's perfectly safe. There's a harness.

[Lust gestures in the direction of the zip lines, watching Angel with a mild and amiable expression.]

It's quite the thrill. It feels like flying.

[brokencode]

Harnesses can break. [Accidents could happen. As pleasant as flying sounded, crashing and burning like Icarus was a far less exciting thought.]

Can multiple people go at once?

[a_sin_for_him]

It's perfectly safe. The park has never had a single harness accident in all my time of being here.

[Besides, with Pokemon on hand, it's unlikely any sort of highly improbably mishap would result in anything worth writing home over.]

I'm...not certain, actually.

[brokencode]

[That was comforting, even if Angel couldn't actually ride with anyone. Lust had been there a long time, after all. If nothing else, Angel knew the woman wouldn't lie to her, especially not when it was a matter of safety]

Maybe I'll try it then. If it is as safe as you say.

[a_sin_for_him]

I can go ahead of you, if you'd like, and you can watch me.

[Lust has found that often helps put people at ease, watching someone else do something beforehand.]

It really is fun.
