come alive, come alive - spring is here!
Who: Everybody!
Where: Ilex Forest
When: March 14th
Summary: Come one, come all to the newest contest hosted by Riegfried and Soy. Today's theme: springtime and nature!
The sun is shining brightly and the weather is surprisingly fair–perfect for an outdoor contest spectacular! Spring is finally around the corner, and with it comes budding trees and the first fresh green leaves in many months. Just a short walk away from the edge of the Ilex Forest is a clearing where the contest is being set up, and boy, have Riegfried and Soy gone all out. This is one of the few contests to take place outdoors, after all.
The contest grounds have been set up so that the ‘stage’–in this case, a wide, clear patch of ground designated for performances–is at the center of everything. Despite the thick trees of Ilex Forest, this singular patch of grass seems to have a natural spotlight cast upon it, which makes it perfect for people’s attention to be drawn to it. Foldable chairs have been placed in concentric circles around the area, so the audience can get a nice 360 degree view of your performance.
Next to the stage is a private, portable dressing room where contestants can go get ready. All manner of costumes have been provided, if you don’t mind the fact that most of them are quite ostentatious. There is also a treasure trove of decorative props that you can weave into your performance.
Further into the trees, market stalls and concessions have been set up for your enjoyment. Local craftspeople seem to be selling all manner of trinkets and baubles, many of which are Celebi themed. You can also buy all manner of specialty PokéBalls–hey, we are near Azalea Town, after all. There are workshops where you can pay local crafters to walk you through making something with your own two hands, such as your own clay bowl, or a birdhouse, or a floral arrangement, or heck, even forging a tiny, decorative metal broach! (Results may vary based on individual skill.)
The food stalls seem to be mostly street food that you might see at an outdoor market–things that you can easily carry with you and eat on the go. Yakitori skewers, takoyaki, mochi, sandwiches, meat patties, hand pies, and kebabs are among some of the selections. Yum!
If you’d like to get away from all the hubbub, you can pay a visit to the Ilex Forest Shrine for some quiet contemplation. Riegfried and Soy were careful to set up far enough away so the shrine would not be disturbed. A few townspeople have left some offerings–perhaps you’d like to, as well. They say it grants you good luck and wards off evil spirits.
Let’s get this show on the road, shall we?

Oh hey, Hunk! [ Readjusting her grip, she hefts Mordelón into her arms and pulls him away from the stall. ] That's okay. I was just about to buy some food for him anyway, he's just a little impatient. But thanks.
no subject
I heard that's kind of a thing for those guys. At least when he evolves he's not going to be able to make quick getaways?
[Or climb all that much, probably. He comes over to help her, though, unwilling to let her struggle with a wiggler on her own.]
Come on, big guy! You know she'll pick out something awesome for you.
no subject
Ha, I guess that's true. The only problem is they're much, much bigger when they evolve, so I wouldn't be able to stop him if he did something like this.
[ Definitely wouldn't be able to pick him up without her Gift.
Fortunately she does manage to keep her grip on Mordelón and hold him back, especially with Hunk's help. ]
Yeah, and it'd go a lot faster if you can just wait a little longer, yeah? Instead of having to fight with you like this.
[ Mordelón pouts a little, but with what sounds like a huff he finally settles down a bit.
With an exasperated smile and a shake of her head, she then glances at Hunk. ]
Thanks.
no subject
[He kind of laughs it off. At least he knows that Luisa comes from another tight-knit family, and honestly it's almost a relief since so many people have some really tragic backstories here. Not that there's anything bad about them, but having someone from a similar sort of household is nice.]
[You know, with less powers. But still....]
So what are you planning on doing? Besides feeding your little buddy here. I'm in town to see my friends perform but I'm thinking maybe I should do something other than food.
[He does love food, but come on. He needs other fun things to do. And there's not a lot of pokescience places to investigate or anything.]
no subject
To be honest, I'm not sure. I had actually hoped to perform too, but I couldn't come up with a routine in time, so I'm just here to cheer others on too.
no subject
[He doesn't know if that would translate over very well.]
But hey, if it's spring-themed maybe they have something flower related? [He could get her some flowers maybe. He's a little bit of a putz, so he doesn't really consider the implications of that.]
no subject
[ She's been getting a chance to really branch out with different styles of dance, but hula dancing is still something new for her. ]
I'm sure they do! I saw a couple of stalls that let people make things, too. Some with flowers, but there's a lot of things to try out.
