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!))

"Ah...! A...h-hero?" Volo's smile widened so much that his face could barely seem to contain it. He let out a high-pitched, excited laugh. "Oh. That's very kind of you, Miss Lillie, though I don't think I've earned that title just yet! I'm merely glad to help. And I could never have done it without your explanations, not to mention the Poké Ball you donated to me."

Clutching the ball in both hands, Volo gave Lillie a small bow.

"Enjoy your Tanabata celebrations! I shall continue to be at your service!"

Aww, he looked so happy! Lillie couldn't help mirroring his smile, even if his wide smile surely outshone hers!

"Thank you! You too, Mr. Volo!" she waved happily.

Snowy barked her own farewells, waving her tails.
