OCtober Day 1: Seasons

It was only late spring, but already Cortica was regretting not investing in some cooler clothes for the journey.

All right, so it was partially that she'd been neglecting clothes shopping entirely since she arrived, save for a hat that had caught her eye. But she had been busy with schoolwork! That was what she had come here for, after all. No, the problem was more that she'd neglected to read up on the climate before she left and prepare accordingly.

This was Cortica's first real encounter with warm weather; back on Algane, they only had two seasons: the milder season, when the sechals spread their leaves into the sky and people generally got by with lighter clothing, and the cold season, when the heavier clothes came out and everyone spent a week or so adjusting the cable carts so they'd stop seizing up from the cold. It had been the mild season when Cortica left, but even mild weather on a mountain is cooler than off, as she was quickly learning. Even forgoing socks, the sturdy material of her traveling clothes was proving much too warm for the local weather- especially during swordsmanship training.

Perhaps she'd have to go shopping this weekend after all.

OCtober Day 20: Formal

Instead of writing, I decided to try designing some formal gowns for/based on some of my characters! 1. Asa This dress is completely lace, mostly a cream colour but fading to a deep green- almost black- at the bottom edge, like many layers of seaweed. It’s kind of hard to see but there are some gold bead accents in the green and on the front. Asa would wear this with a golden leafy bracelet and a twist of kelp in her hair. Inspirations: Wedding dress alterations by Taylor Ann (specifically the bottom rightmost one.) 2. Cortica Cortica’s ordinary clothes are already pretty formal by today’s standards, so I imagine her formalwear would be quite fancy. The pale blue parts of this dress are chiffon, and the rest is satin. The colours on this one didn’t scan through very well; the pale blue is right, but the darker blue should be a few shades darker, and the parts that look brown are actually meant to be a shiny, coppery colour. (London blue and copper are Her Colours and she wanted them incorporated somehow.) Cortica would wear this with her hair up and a dark blue ribbon around it, pale blue gloves, and coppery-looking shoes. Inspirations: European ballgowns, Cinderella 3. Trie This dress isn’t extremely formal, but Trie’s pretty young, and her idea of a formal event is a party or a nice dinner. This dress comes down to her knees and the belt has a shiny golden buckle on it. Trie would wear this with knee socks, black shoes, and a pearl necklace. Inspirations: 50′s fashion, specifically high-waisted dresses and poodle skirts. 4. Mina Mina favours colourful, elegant fashion; her style takes cues from a number of different nations’ clothing trends. This dress is mostly chiffon, with satin ribbon, and again the colours didn’t come out very clear; they should pretty much all be a little darker. Mina would wear this with dark brown sandals, gold bangle bracelets, and blue drop earrings. Inspirations: Indian prom dresses, Eventide Neopets

OCtober Day 17: Beach

As Cortica slowly approached the beach, she noticed the two other people already there. A short girl with black hair and sunglasses was building a sandcastle, and an even shorter man with brightly-coloured hair and a beard, lounging on a chair. She smoothed out her knee-length, old-time swimsuit and headed out onto the sand.

"You're here!" Cortica jumped. The source of the voice was a head sticking out of the water, belonging to a woman Cortica hadn't noticed before. "I think that's everyone!" And she launched herself out of the water.

"Oh, hi! Cortica, is it? I'm Trie." The teenager making the sandcastle waved. "I like your suit!"

"Thanks." Cortica waved back. "What are we all doing here again?"

"Vacation," answered the woman who'd been in the water, drawing water droplets out of her hair without touching it. "Azzie thought we all could use a break. Name's Asa, by the way."

"Ah, is everyone here?" The dozing man yawned, sitting up. "Kindrin Mossfeld, at your service.

"Nice to meet you all," Cortica nodded before motioning to the basket she held. "I brought sandwiches."

"Awesome!" Trie took off her sunglasses. "And I mean, she's not wrong."

OCTober/Poketober Day 3: Duel/Partner

Lena stared at the tall woman she’d just bumped into.

“Um! Hi!” she said. “Aww, cute bird!”

Cortica peered down at her. “Hello? Can I help you?”

“No, sorry! Well, actually, maybe! Sorry for bumping you. But I am lost. D’you know where the Pokemon Center is? I wanted to get some poffins for my li’l Elarie, but I can’t find it and no one else seems to know.”

“…I haven’t heard of it, I’m sorry,” Cortica said. “But I’m not local. I may as well ask you if you have directions to the Sports Centre? I saw this pamphlet about a fencing exhibition, and I wanted to see it.”

Lena blinked. “Me? No, no idea what that is. But I’ll keep an eye open! Closest thing I’ve seen is the Recreation Center in GDC. But I don’t think that’s even in this region, so… anyway!” She frowned. “Okay, guess I’ll keep looking. Thanks! By the way, your dress is gorgeous!”

“…Thank you?”

“No probbyloo! Okay, byeeee!”

Cortica stared as the girl skipped cheerfully away. She hadn’t been on this planet for long, but if all its people were like that, she thought it would be a very strange stop indeed.
