Harvest Festival - Open to All - Prizes to Win
Who: Hythlodaeus, Emet-Selch, Ghosts & You
Where: Egglysium Lodge & Ranch (South of Goldenrod)
When: Mid-October to Mid-November
Summary: Festivities abound! There are games to play, frights to have, shiny applin to win, and ghosts to catch.
Hythlodaeus' sprawling ranch has been all done up for the spooky harvest season- including himself. He's dressed as a Grim Reaper, face paint and all. The premises consists of a large lodge, a couple barns, a stable, and a sizeable lake all positioned on the hilly fields. Bales of hay dot the land. Should you show up as the sun sets, dozens of jack-o-lanterns light the path up to the main area where lights and decorations are strung around. The main decor theme seems to be "skeleton", and the visitors may enjoy the projected interpretation of such pokemon skeletons as spinaraks, gengars, and grimers.
There is food aplenty on the tables, mostly consisting of hot stews, fresh pies, doughnuts, and ciders. For the adults, Hythlodaeus will spike the cider with some spiced rum if asked. There is a modest price tag on these items, though there is a sign stating that wearing a costume earns free food. You did remember to wear a costume, right? Or perhaps there is something in your bag or around you could cobble to convince the proprietor?
Haunted Hay Ride
Once the sun sets, you may queue up with a buddy or dare to ride alone with only the cart driver as your company. The cart driver is, of course, Hythlodaeus. His cart horses are none other than his shiny Rapidash done up quite appropriately in their own skeleton paint. As you ride, ghost pokemon will come up to spook you... And only some of them are trained for the event! There are a rather lot of wild ghosts out here in no small part by Hythlodaeus' own breeding efforts. Hythlodaeus may have befriended them, but he cannot guarantee that one might not attack!
... Not that he warns you of this specifically. Well, in any case, if they're wild, they can be caught, too, right? There are Yamask, Drifloon, Sandyghast, Shuppets, Sinistea, and Ghastly, not to mention the wild swaming Pumpkaboo! There are some Pokemon actors, of course. Will you be harangued by a roaring Zoroark? Perhaps the Gyarados in the lake might jump out to surprise you as the cart slows by the water and the sandyghast form from the sandy banks.
((ooc: Players can ride solo or with a friend. If you would like to ride solo, I can work all the various spooks, otherwise feel free to take control of the ride!))
Bobbing for Applin
((ooc: So, I have a stock of shiny applin that can actually be won here. Please reply to the post below this one letting me know that your character is trying this out so I can keep it all tidy. I will roll a die for you. Depending on how this goes, I'll allow extra tries. Great rewards may follow. Feel free to react to others' fortune or misfortune.))
By the lake, there are four enormous wooden tubs filled with water and by the looks of it, green apples. Hythlodaeus has strung a banner across two trees reading TRICK OR TREAT. Should you try to simply reach for one, they will seemingly just float away... But if you bob for one properly, try not to bite down too hard! As you take the Pokemon from your mouth, you might or might not notice the green coming away slightly.
Only some of these are the genuine article, but they will let you know in short order... in the shape of a Sucker Punch. What has he been breeding these things with?! Well... He might let you keep it for your trouble.
Hay Maze
As you approach the maze built with bales of hay, you realize that all the food tables are on the other size of it, and it looks like the quickest way might actually be to go straight through. I mean, c'mon, it was made for kids, right? It can't be that hard...
Well. That's what you thought twenty minutes ago. You were following your nose to the feast, but that seems to have led you astray. Will you take the right turns to get out, or will the different scents confuse you? As you look up and see all the cutiefly, you note that there might be some foul play at work. Should you take enough wrong turns, you will find yourself in the center, greeted by an enormous Tropius costumed like a pumpkin just eating stacks of pumpkin pies. And by its engorged belly are some pokemon eggs painted like pumpkins... Do you dare approach?
((ooc: those are some pretty special Tropius eggs there! Feel free to play with each other or engage with the Tropius. He will see if you are worthy of one of his kin. Or perhaps a half eaten pie.))
Cutiefly Races
There really is something for everyone, huh? As you approach the little race track, you note the Cutieflies dressed and ready to race. What must this all be about? There are nine cutieflies altogether, and aren't they darling?
1- Werewolf
2- Vampire
3- Mummy
4- Ghost
5- Witch
6- Skeleton
7- Devil
8- Zombie
9- Spider
Who will win, for all the marbles? The marbles being a bag of candycorn, that is. You can buy a bag of candycorn for just 50p or make your own bets amongst one another. Well, until the end.
On 11/15, everyone who has participated in the races will be entered into the final race. The winner will obtain their very own shiny cutiefly.
This is not a mod run event. If you have questions or concerns, feel free to post below, DM me or message me at horsechiffon on plurk or Horse#8008 on Discord. Zorn is also helping with it, and he's Zornsable on plurk!
Please feel free to use this as a backdrop for your own purposes as well! The pumpkaboo and gourgeist swarm should be overlapping with part of this.

Haunter pauses, doing a hand-stand in an archway. Waving at them to follow - with its feet.
"The hardest part was apologizing to Bruno afterward," he admits, with a grimace. "I... may have accidentally skipped him, at first."
no subject
"I... what?" Okay no, that definite gets a surprised laugh out of her. "Sorry, how does one skip a member of the Elite Four?"
no subject
He really wishes he could just leave it at that. But this is Allura. He owes her more of an explanation than that.
"He was poisoned, and wouldn't let me heal him. I had to chase him down... by the time I caught up with him, we went right past Bruno's door."
no subject
Oh my gosh, nope, nope, she has to cover her mouth to keep from laughing even harder, poisoned Pokémon are not funny, Allura, not in the slightest.
"I-I see... I take it Blue was all right afterwards." Wait for it... "Did--did they make you turn around and go back?"
Okay, the poisoning isn't funny, but THAT part is hilarious!
no subject
"Blue was fine. Kuro caught him, held him down until I could get him sprayed."
So, really, it was more embarrassing and annoying than outright dangerous. No thanks to his Gallade.
"Yeah. Yeah, they did. And... publicly apologize."
no subject
LOOK, she doesn't get many chances to laugh these days, Shiro, let her have this!
"O-oh no!" See, she feels for him, never mined the barely-held-back chortling. "Those are always the worst, I do not envy you at all...!"
And she means it, she doesn't envy him. ... That doesn't mean she can't be amused by him while she's at it. =)
no subject
Just in case she needs to laugh at his actual misfortune. Then again, at the time, he'd been too excited at his victory to care too much.
no subject
Okay okay, Allura tries to take a few breaths to calm herself down, even wiping the corners of one eye.
"I'll keep that in mind... after the party, of course." And after they get out of this maze. "... I assume everyone but Keith has seen it as well?"
You know, just keeping track.
no subject
And he's fine with that. She doesn't need to see it. Actually, no one else needs to be seeing it again, either.
