it’s time for a cookout!

Who: Everybody!
Where: Poco Path
When: April 26th
Summary: Arven welcomes you to experience Paldean customs and food, and share the food of your own homes, in a unique take on Calçotada!


Arven and his helpers have set up Poco Path as the perfect spot for a cook-out! Tables and benches line the route, and there are also baskets holding picnic blankets around for those who prefer that experience. The weather is finally playing nice again, after all, so why not?

There are grills for anyone who may need them, as well, and Arven - along with his Toedscruel and Gargancl - will be making the rounds to assure everyone has any needed equipment... And that no one's putting the cook-out at risk of going up in flames, of course. But whether or not you're making or even brought food, the host is happy to see you here. And so is his Mabosstiff! The gentle old pokemon will be making his own rounds of begging for table scraps!

When it seems like the arrivals have slowed to a stop, Arven takes a moment to address his guests. While he starts off nervously, he keeps a hand on Mabosstiff at his side, and as he goes on his bashfulness fades more and more.

"I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who came here today! When I heard about how you lot aren't, er, from around here... Well, I knew had to do something like this. It's important! You're all far from your homes in more ways than one, after all. Food can go a long way to bring people together!"

Mabosstiff gives a gruff bark in agreement, and Arven laughs heartily.

"Thanks, bud. And thanks again to all of you! I'm seeing some dishes I just can't wait to dig into. If you aren't eating already, what are you waiting for? Bon profit!"

It's a lesson that seems to pay off quite nicely. Being addressed has the Sirfetch'd redirect her attention, making an approving nod and squawking quietly. It has Dimitri smiling as well. "We appreciate it. And before I forget myself, this is Ellylon, and my name is Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd."

One day he'll get out of the habit of saying his whole name. Just not today.

"I'm glad that you were able to take advantage of this place of plenty, then," he continues. "I understand well enough there are times when we cannot help but be limited in things... but all the more reason to enjoy ourselves." He nod down to the spaetzle. "It looks delicious. Would it be alright if we had a small plate?"
