farawayplace | [MINI EVENT] ☆T A N A B A T A☆

Those from the four regions of Kanto, Johto, Hoenn and Sinnoh will be very familiar with the sight of bamboo stalks that are left outside decorated with colorful and sparkly paper decorations. There are people gathering around, helping one another put up paper amulet of varying colors to tie around the bamboo branches. On each amulet is a single wish that’s been handwritten by someone.

One can only hope that their wish will be heard…

At night, there’s a surprise to be found: an alternate colored Jirachi is out dressed in what’s clearly a handmade costume. Around its neck, is a colorful paper chain made of sparkly origami paper.

Not only has Jirachi come to grant wishes, Miniors are out and about bright and colorful. They’ll be dancing around seemingly trying to invite people to come join them in the festivities.

((OOC: Happy Tanabata! In the morning is a general mingle post. But as the evening sets in and Jirachi appears, it will start granting the wish written on your amulet whether big or small -- wealth, a long life, or maybe a way to return home. You're free to catch Miniors too, and there's a slightly better chance of encountering a shiny one as well. Just be careful of the ones still in their shell or you might just get a rather explosive surprise...

This event can take place at any town, so feel free to specify a location!))

[Buson listened to most of Manzana’s words silently, but swore through gritted teeth at Manzana’s idea of dying there leading him back here. He couldn’t help it, he looked pained just hearing that, and even his grip on Manzana’s shoulders tightened uncomfortably for a moment.

But, as Manzana went on and Buson realized he was beginning to move on from that terrible plan, the fury born of grief dissipated, in fact, it gave way to joy and relief!

He hugged Manzana again.]

That’s good! That’s great… really happy to hear that!

[Manzana returned the hug. He didn't mean to upset Buson the way he had, but he was glad that it worked out. If he hadn't had that opportunity to open up to Buson when they were compelled to be as truthful as he had been he was sure he would have kept thinking in a drastic manner, desperate to return to Ultern.]

...thank you Attila. I'll be okay. My past won't ever change, but know that the words and love people have shown me here aren't for nothing. You and everyone else made me stronger.

So I'll be here as long as I can be, and I want you and your friend to always feel welcomed here too.

[He's never been all that good with words, so he never knew just what to say, in times such as this. All he could really do was smile; a lighter, more relieved smile.]

I'm glad... really, I am.
