Rating: PG! PG-13 at the most, please!
Summary: The Easter Festival Pokémon Egg Hunt! THERE ARE STILL LOTS OF EGGS LEFT. Feel free to claim more eggs, the limit to three eggs has now been lifted, so you can now get as many as you want.

※ AN UPDATE ON THE EGGS ※

Even if you are not currently located in Goldenrod and cannot make it to said city or the National Park over this weekend, Cassie (Sebastian, Quistis, Niou, Marco, Rarity mun) has offered to accept delivery requests of eggs to other parts of Johto. That means - YES - even if you cannot personally make it to the event, her characters, who are currently in Goldenrod ( Marco and Niou, maybe? ) will catch something at request and deliver it for you! 

 

So even if you are ALL THE WAY IN CHERRYSTUCK, you can get an egg, so feel free to go claim one at the above link and enter the following information:

 

Your name

Egg Type [ Trainer who donated the egg ]

The city you are currently in

 

And that is all! Now onto the actual log!

It's the morning of Easter Friday, and the officers of Goldenrod are up and working on this fine, fine holiday morning, making sure their vans were properly running for a long weekend of driving trainers back and forth between the city and the National Park. Oh boy. When the first trainers arrive, they'll start driving them in groups of four or five to the Park. It's a three hour ride and the radio plays some upbeat tune during it.

Once there, trainers would find that booths are set up at the front of the park: one handing out baskets for eggs to be gathered in; some selling food such as hot dogs, corndogs, and other easy-to-eat foods and drinks; others selling hats, visors, bandannas, sunglasses, and toy fans. The NPC vendors are cheerful and energetic, and they'll greet trainers enthusiastically all day, all weekend! There's even a nice shady area of tables with hard-boiled and fake eggs, tempera paint provided as well, for those who wish to decorate their own eggs.

The park itself looks no different, perhaps because the long grass hides the eggs that are scattered around there. The fountain in the middle, it seems, has some plastic goodie bags floating in it - is it litter? No! The bags have plastic Easter eggs nestled inside, and while searching for Pokémon eggs, trainers might come across more plastic eggs containing candies and goodies.

Let the fun begin!

[passing through the park on the way to Goldenrod, Beat is handed a pink and yellow basket. He hesitantly takes it, then stands there holding it in confusion. I am Japanese and what is this]

... yo, do I actually need this?

[cheersup.livejournal.com]

Mhm! It's for carrying the eggs that you find!

[sup Beat. British loli will help you.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Uhh.... What? Did I miss somethin'?

[although, now that you mention it, he did notice there were eggs sitting around. He just thought maybe it was pokemon mating season 8|]

[cheersup.livejournal.com]

.....! You never had a Easter egg hunt before?!

[Judging from your mannerisms, she is just taking a guess.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

No. Is that a western thing?

[he is also taking a guess, judging by her blond princess curls...]

[cheersup.livejournal.com]

Oh! You must be from the east, I suppose! [Like Mister Lau and Ran-Mao!]

Easter is mostly a religious type of holiday, but it also includes feasts and fun games! Egg hunts is one of those games where you find eggs with candy and treats inside!

[More of a nobleman's daughter than a princess, but very close.]

[used-beatup.livejournal.com]

Really? Well.... hey, if it's chill for me to get in on that action, then maybe I can jus' keep an eye out. I like eggs and candy, yo!

[cheersup.livejournal.com]

[She laughs.] I think you will have fun then! It's the same as a scavenger hunt, so you just got to look everywhere! Don't miss a single spot!

[ there's a loli standing there with her basket, already looking somewhat overwhelmed. No seriously, there are a TON of people, and she's really only there to make sure there aren't any eggs that get abandoned.

... She just... has to move first. ]

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[Aoko was really looking forward to the egg hunt. A big crowd of people made it seem really festive to her, and she liked that.

She notices Kisa soon, standing there by herself. She goes over to make sure she's okay.]

Hey, you okay?

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Y-yes...! [ except that came out as kind of a squeak. ]

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[A-aw, a shy little girl. Aoko wants to help her now! Man she's creepy.]

If you're sure.

Would you like to look for eggs together?

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... You want to... with me?

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[Uh oh. Should she not have asked that?]

W-well, it's up to you, really! If you don't want to, I understand.

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... N-no, it's... okay...!

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

Really? Okay then! [Aoko's Cleffa and Bulbasaur waddle due to curiosity of this new girl. They both smile up at her.]

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... Hello... [ crouching down to greet them better. ]

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[Aw, they get closer to you. The Bulbasaur blushes a little, and looks down. We have two adorable shy kids here.]

They like you!

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... [ awwwwwwwww. ] I like them too...

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

[Bulbasaur makes an act of bravery, and tries to cuddle a little closer to Kisa. Hoppip just kind of.....bounces around. Cleffa sits next to her and smiles. Photo time~]

They're pretty friendly, and get along with pretty much anyone.

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

... They're really sweet. [ rubbing Bulbasaur's head. ]

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

They are, aren't they? [Moonlight climbs up Kisa, and sits on her head.]

.....I just need to teach them manners.

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Mm... I don't mind.

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

If you're sure then.

[She looks out to the park, and sees all the people.]

Do you want to start looking for eggs now?

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

Y-yes... [ reaching to steady her head passenger off. ]

[ahokonakamori.livejournal.com]

Ah, let me get her for you. [She carefully picks up Moonlight, and places her on her own head.]

She's got a thing for sleeping on heads.

[cynicizing.livejournal.com]

[Frankly, Santa's only here because June dragged him here—but hey, there's a familiar face.]

You know, if you're just gonna stand there like that, people are gonna start thinkin' you're a statue.

[biteisbigger.livejournal.com]

--!

[ ever see a little kid jump like three feet into the air? ]

[cynicizing.livejournal.com]

... Geez, calm down, calm down. It ain't like I'm gonna attack you.

[greatbigrock]

_{[So Tulio didn't want to be here at all, initially, but after some convincing he's really not opposed anymore. Scanning the area now though, hands on his hips, he looks a little pensive. It's very big, this area.]}

So what does finding eggs have to do with Easter anyway?

[thattrail.livejournal.com]

_{[Miguel on the other hand is excite. Hell he's pretty much always excite but this is special cause they get to search for things and we all know that that's Miguel's speciality.]}

Beats me, but come on, it'll be fun! Now and then we need a bit of fun that doesn't threaten our lives and you know it.

[exeggutorhead]

[Envy isn't opposed to being here, considering that maybe there are valuable things lying around. And hey, sometimes it was nice to do things other than lurk around the city and train pokemon. He doesn't want to agree with Miguel but...fun is fun, damn it, even if he's not sure how much fun finding eggs actually would be.]

Hell of a lot more interesting than I remember Easter being. And free stuff is one thing these festivals and holidays are always good for.

[He smirks.] Bet people have been dropping things while they're digging around in the grass too.

[greatbigrock]

_{[Agree with Miguel, Envy! You know you want to.]}

Yep. People are idiots, but hey - _[smirk] that makes our jobs easier.

_{[So not going to bother with a basket and stuff, he gestures vaguely at the ... enormous park.]}

I think we better split up for this.

[thattrail.livejournal.com]

We aren't even sure what eggs we are looking for, I've seen plastic ones all over. But I assume we are taking all the eggs plus everything valuable we can find and emptying pockets as we go, the usual.

_{[He smiles. Miguel loves the outdoors, okay. Even moreso now that it's WARM and not horribly cold snow everywhere]}

[exeggutorhead]

I'm not getting any of those actual eggs, I'm sick of hatching them. [Yep. No more eggs for him. So he thinks.]

But if we're going to split up, then... [He surveys the park consideringly, before pointing at the area near the fountain.] I'll start over there.

[He does briefly glance back at Tulio for approve/deny, though.]

[greatbigrock]

_{[Oh, them eggs. Tulio looks over at where Envy points before nodding his consent.]}

Yeah. Okay. Just make sure you don't drown. _{[Because you two are masters of getting into trouble - nevermind the whole poisoning episode, that wasn't Tulio's fault, it was a deranged Spinarak. He is feeling much better from that though, but still just a little weak. That entire ordeal was exhausting.]}

I'll go this way _{[indicates near where they're standing]} - Miguel ... that tall grass. _{[The northern end of the park, in other words, as he points out. Miguel you are better at eventual pokemon that might attack in that grass and also more likely to stumble on anything in it than us other two, you lucky bastard.]}

[thattrail.livejournal.com]

Alright, let's go! <sub>[And with that he makes a kind of mock-salute gesture, and is off to search the grass and the pockets of passerbys]

[He releases the smallest of his Pokémon (a 4.7 ft tall Gabite) because Tall Grass = wild Pokémon, and also because Search Help and Company is always nice]</sub>

[exeggutorhead]

Of course I won't drown. [He makes a mock-indignant face.]

[But time to get on with the valuables hunting! Envy heads on over to that fountain. He saw those bags floating in the water, and he's interested to find out what's in them. So he starts reaching into the fountain to grab them and see what's inside...hey, candy! Not terribly valuable, but a good find for him.]

[imthe-shit.livejournal.com]

[Is looking at the bandannas for sale. While he has his own and he's not willing to part with it (it has unlimited ammo after all), Snake can't help but look over the pokemon-themed bandannas and imagine himself wearing them. He lets out a sound of amusement. Tucked under his right arm is a blue and orange egg... Looks like he found a good one. It's a large size, so it's more than likely a Pokemon egg.

Snake wasn't usually one for festivals, but he didn't have anything else to do anyway. Might as well waste some time with the people than sit around being bored out of his mind.

He thought briefly of which Pokemon to let wander around for the festival-- Solid was with Heather traveling to Violet, and Snubbull was in one of the PC boxes. That left him with Sunny, MkIII, Chicken, Surskit and Marlboro. Considering they weren't too big, he knelt down, taking out all five balls and tossing them in the air, allowing each Pokemon to emerge. They cried out with enthusiasm, enjoying the bright sun on their backs.]

Go play. Just... don't cause a scene.
