It's time for the solstice!

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.

Well if it isn't my little island friend. Hello. You're all dressed up for the day, aren't you?

[Lust offers a friendly smile. God, when was the last time she'd spoken with him? She can't even remember. The days blur together and time is a funny thing. Especially recently...]

What have you been up to?

Well, it's good form to dress formal for little god-like creatures. Or it's just a nice excuse to dress up~

[Gil takes a sip of the soda he's procured, which is decent but not to his spoiled tastes.]

A little of this, a little of that, mostly been on the road. Oh, we got trapped in the Alph Ruins for four or five weeks, that was something. Might be going back to challenge a couple of gyms like I initially planned. What've you been getting into?
a_sin_for_him: (sure i believe you)

I suppose.

[But really, that outfit...]

Oh, nothing terribly exciting. I took a weekend trip to Kanto with my gentleman, mostly I've simply been tending the homestead and working with my circus seals.

How did you get trapped in the ruins?
usedstockpile: (Can't be helped)

Circus seals? Are you actually opening a circus or is that more of a metaphor?

[You have no idea, Lust. This is tame for the King of Heroes. Sitting right on the border of gaudy and bearable.]

There's that room where you fill up the words with water, right? At the time I had a Krabby and a Magikarp who could do it. The Magikarp knocked out my Krabby, and splashed all the water out. It was...not pleasant.

I'm already a circus performer. I have been for years. I'm half of the trapeze act - The Flying Sin Siblings. But I have a Spheal and a Poplio. They have an act of their own.

[And a rather popular one, among youngsters.]

Oh, yes, I've heard of that. I haven't explored the ruins much myself but I've heard all manner of stories. Which is why I haven't bothered much.
