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
no subject
Now she's looking curiously at his Pokemon though. She's never seen either one before, having arrived here on the 8th of December so she's kind of brand new here and so many pokemon yet to see! Is that a dog -- or a canine at least with a ... scytche on his head? Petra looks very confused and surprised here, though she is pretty much used to not asking too many questions about logic of some things. There are so many unanswered question back where she's from that it makes all this randomness here easier to handle too.
Anyway, staring at others is really impolite but wow these pokemon are cute! Still weird with that scythe thing, but hey, that's not really a problem. ...Petra actually waves back to the Clefairy before she approaches the table to see what she's doing. Is this pokemon seriously doodling something here? She's more and more surprised and confused, but also really amazed by it.]
Where did you learn that?
[HOW? Animals don't doodle. These creatures are too intelligent! It's a whisper, she doesn't want to wake up the roommate. Let him sleep all he wants if he needs the rest - quite many probably do after that flight unless they slept there or are going to go without much sleep.]
no subject
Rose, meanwhile, tilts her head with a "Clef?", and then smiles a little and points at the sleeping man. Is it that surprising, really, she thinks? She taught herself by watching her dear partner, of course.
...Well, it was probably more than just watching him, honestly, because her doodles, if you look, are actually pretty decent pictures, around the level of what a first grade human would draw. Something of a forest scene - the trees are kind of stick-ish, but they're definitely trees, and there's a tent in the middle of them too.
(Meanwhile, Jehra blinks slowly and then settles his head back down on his front paws. You are not a threat to his papa, and therefore he can go back to resting his eyes.)]
no subject
Oh, of course! Petra's amber eyes widen a bit and she nods at the pink Pokemon while she looks at the direction she's pointing at. Where else could she have learned even? Still, that's so much more intelligent than the normal animals back home and she's still got so much to learn about Pokemon.
But then she's back to looking at those doodles and even taking a closer look since this cute pokemon doesn't seem to mind? ... Aha...ha..haaaaaaa, forests. Is that a sad smile on her face for a bit? Might be because canon point has a lot to do with tragedies in a forest. And it's not even possible to put up a tent in a forest where she comes from, thanks to giant monsters, who live anywhere outside city walls. But that really is very pretty.]
That's really amazing, you know, and also very pretty. Is it a memory or something you'd like to do in summer? Maybe a good memory, that you'd like to do again. That's always an option too.
[Yeah, she's not dangerous unless someone does something stupid first. No worries about her.]
no subject
So she grabs one of the pieces of scrap paper on the side and turns it over to the side she didn't already use and decide to start over, and she begins to write. ...Because yes, she taught herself to write, too.]
When it's done it'll be of when we met Raikou!
no subject
. . .
That pokemon is... writing. Doodling's a little weird, but definitely very adorable but actually being able to write a real message? No one warned her about this!!
Petra looks surprised, shocked even perhaps. That's just -- way too intelligent for a creature, and honestly, she's not so good at dealing with highly intelligent types of anything thanks to attacks by too intelligent giant monster back home. This one isn't even a giant, but this sure is the most surprising thing she's learned about Pokemon here.
Sorry, pink adorable fluffball, were you trying to make this less one-sided? She might need a moment right now because what is this?! Animals shouldn't be able to write, or even doodle, or read minds either like Levi's psychic cat could do.]
no subject
"Clef?" But she tilts her head at that bluescreening, because is it really that shocking? Maybe it's just because she's so used to being able to write that she doesn't think it's surprising.
The conversation, as it is, is interrupted at this point, though, by some stirring over in the bed. Looks like your roommate is waking up.]
no subject
Petra looks at the bed as soon as she hears the sound from there.]
... You taught your Pokemon to write? Real, long sentences? [GOOD MORNING! She's still confused and sure sounds like that too.]
no subject
[The response is a little slurred from still being half-asleep as he slowly pushes himself up to sitting. But the response is reasonably coherent, so maybe he's been conscious longer than he appeared? Or maybe he's just that used to immediately paying attention to his surroundings when he wakes up.
...Probably the latter, because while he processed the words, it takes him a moment to realize that he doesn't actually recognize the voice speaking them...
He kind of freezes for a moment as exactly who this must be - his roommate for this trip, but nobody said he'd be rooming with a girl, Sion's never gonna let him live this down, Ferris would kill him if this girl isn't terrifying in her own right - before pulling the blanket over his head again and letting out a quiet groan.]
no subject
Yes, hello roommate. Petra is just ... ignoring the whole issue of rooming with a man right now, because her attention is, well, somewhere else. And she really is used to being around men more anyway, what with joining the army and being part of a squad, where all other members are men. So really, she can live with these rooming arrangements and not pay too much attention to it right now! Let's see about that later. Now she's keeping her attention on Rose to avoid weirdness here.]
Is that ... a common thing? Do Pokemon teach themselves to write often? Or drawing, I guess I didn't expect them to do that either?
no subject
[He's not coming out from under the blankets now, no sir. He's been out of the military way too long for this (and there were enough girls to have separate rooms anyway, they didn't discriminate based on gender among the orphans as long as you were useful), and a girl he doesn't even know? The only good news is that Ferris isn't here, and therefore never needs to know... He's already dreading Sion's teasing, though.
"Fairy~" Rose, however, just gives a cheerful smile. She knows her dear partner only means 'stubborn' as a compliment, naturally~]
no subject
[Not that he said there's anything wrong with it, but she really appreciates stubborness. At least whenever people are not being stupid just because they're too stubborn. She's getting more and more impressed here, so the shock and surprise is going away and she smiles at Rose.
Ehhh, stay under the blankets all you want, mister. That doesn't really bother her either, this is turning out to be more fun than she first thought it'd be anyway. She might try to steal your adorable Clefairy though -- no, just kidding, she's a good girl.
But speaking of the Fairy... Petra takes a pen and starts writing to that paper. She could just speak, sure, but they can both do it this way too. And looking at that earlier message from Rose now -- awww, so that's what she's drawing.]
Hello, Rose! My name is Petra and it's really nice to meet you.
no subject
[Just be warned that if you do try to steal Rose, she knows Thunderbolt and isn't afraid to use it. ...Among other TMs. (Her dear partner may live a little bit vicariously through her sometimes, not that she minds.)
Rose is thrilled that you're writing with her though. Not that she dislikes writing and then being spoken to in return, far from it, but she's never gotten to do it this way before! It's exciting! :D]
Hi Petra! Don't mind my dear partner, he's always sleepy.
no subject
[ Noooooooo, she'd never really steal anything. Especially none of these creatures considering what crazy attacks they seem to have... But she's so going to teach TMs to her team members, later, once she's better adapted and leveled them to some good levels at first.
Well, Rose, you're in the company of a girl, who loves writing letters & (silly) notes to people, so Petra is getting quite excited of this too!]
It's okay! Sleeping is important and maybe he's sleeping a bit for the less sleepy people too. :D
no subject
[Ryner could give lots of recommendations about TMs, if he was asked. He's. Tried a lot of them.]
So you think he might be sleeping more so Mr. Sion doesn't have to? [This is a possibility Rose hasn't thought of yet.]
