Why Don't You Go Where Fashion Sits?
Who: Participants of the Kalosmas New Year's Event!
Where: The Hotel Richissime, in scenic Lumiose City, Kalos!
When: Wednesday, December 31 - Thursday, January 1!
Summary: After all the shenanigans of Hoennween, it's about time everybody had a chance to relax and unwind, courtesy of some actually benign NPCs. With all the luxuries of the Hotel Richissime waiting at their disposal, that shouldn't be too difficult a prospect!
Rating: PG in general; please mark threads that go higher accordingly!

A FEW OTHER SETTING NOTES:
• At the moment, this log spans the entirety of the New Year's Eve plot, so starters may be posted for any time on either day of the event. If things start getting massive and it looks like an overflow log will be necessary, we'll definitely see about putting one up, and will link it to this one if need be.
• The Event Itinerary can be found here! Remember that participating in this course of events is not mandatory, but it's what will be going on in the grand scheme of things over the course of the event.
• All event participants are being housed on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel. Your bedrooms are laid out like this; if you participated in our IC Rooming Roulette, you can find your buddy on this table here!
• Most activities here will be free! ICly, your characters will use their room cards to "pay" for most things, and the charges will be applied to their room (which of course, they are not paying for personally). Gift shops, parts of the casino, and food not provided as part of the event are not chargeable to your rooms and characters will have to use their own money in those locations.
• Underage characters may use the casino; however, they may be subject to some social scrutiny and side-eyeing in the event that they attempt to get in on one of the high-roller tables.
A NOTE ABOUT USING THREADS ON THIS LOG FOR AC:
Because of how our AC period works (the grace week into January still counting toward December), all threads on this log are valid toward December's AC, regardless of timestamp! However, because the log technically spans two different months and we want to encourage tagging out on it, we have also made this decision:
On this log and this log alone, comment threads timestamped in January (OOCly) that reach AC-length may be used towards January's AC, as well. Therefore, if a thread on this log reaches AC length with 10+ comments timestamped in January, you can use it toward January's AC (assuming the same thread has not already been used to satisfy December's AC).

MAIN EVENT INFOPOST | QUESTIONS FOR MODS

Nevermind. It doesn't matter, she decides, steeling herself. All that matters right now is proving to herself and to her trainer that she can do this! All she's gotta do is jump. That's all she has to do.
A long, tense moment passes. Isami stares, wide-eyed, at Alicanto, trying to force her quaking nerves (and limbs) to steady. Unbeknownst to himself, Yusuke has moved to sit at the edge of his seat. He leans forward, elbows braced on his knees and eyes watching Isami intently. He doesn't know if she's gonna go through with it or not, but he's holding his breath for it anyway. C'mon, girl. Go for it!
Isami takes a breath. Counts to ten. Then, finally, she jumps, landing somewhat unsteadily on Alicanto's shoulders. Yusuke is on his feet the instant he sees her wobble. He snarls.]
H-hey, be careful! You better not let her drown, y'big feathery bastard!
[Well look who's decided to give a damn all of the sudden. Meanwhile, Yusuke's Hitmonlee finally looks up from his book and shoots his trainer a dirty look, making an annoyed noise. What are you yelling about now, Yusuke? Did something just happen?]
no subject
[For all her apparent calm, though, Kirigiri herself is hiding a note of secret approval for the courage the little Eevee had displayed at getting herself off of solid ground and in toward the pool. Don't mess this up, Alicanto.
(Alicanto, for his part, seems basically as rock-solid as ever, and even a little amused at the prospect of having a buddy hanging out on his shoulders.)]
Isami-san, squeak if you're all right, please.
no subject
Isami isn't the only one whose heart is racing - Yusuke's is, too, when he comes jogging over, slipping a little on the wet floor as he slows to a decidedly inelegant stop at Kirigiri's side. His Hitmonlee stays behind, watching them from his seat with an inscrutable expression. Ah, so that's what's happening. Well then. Good for Isami! Hopefully Yusuke won't do anything stupid to muck this up.]
Damn. She really went for it, didn't she?
[Is that a note of pride in Yusuke's voice? It sure is. Doesn't stop him from shooting Kirigiri a dubious look out of the corner of his eye a second later, though.]
You sure she's gonna be all right?
no subject
Meanwhile, up on the shore, Kirigiri turns her attention from the Pokemon to Yusuke proper.]
There is a middle ground between coddling and abandoning someone to learn on their own. It's clear she's brave enough, so long as she knows there's someone there supporting her in case she needs it.
[She shrugs slightly.]
Alicanto will keep her safe. There's no need to be concerned about that.
no subject
[He retorts, affronted. Then he pauses, watching as Alicanto moves through the water with Isami on his shoulders. Slowly but surely, the anxiety in her expression is melting away. She hasn't yet moved from where she's tucked herself against the back of Alicanto's head, but given another minute or two to just kind of... sit there and chill, Yusuke feels like she might be ready to give jumping into water a try.
... or at least, he hopes she will be, anyway. It would suck if she went through all that trouble getting into the pool and never actually got around to swimming in it - especially since they don't have a lot of time left in the hotel. It'll be a long time before she gets another chance to go swimming.]
... so, uh. [He coughs.] I guess I oughta thank you for helpin' out.
no subject
Well, she figures that with what's coming next, it's probably better policy to not be looking (staring?) directly at him when she says it.]
You put on a tough act...but in truth, you really care about her.
[That's interesting. Moreover, it's something she can understand, the walls and facades that others see.]
I hope she does learn to like the water. For that reason, thanks aren't necessary.
