Bill and the Blind Date

“Oh man...” Shoulders sank as Bill looked at his letter. One of his sisters had signed him up for the blind date event, without him knowing, of course. So you can imagine the worried, near horrified look on the researchers face as he reads his letter only to find there is no name printed, just a number. “9″. 

“Oh man, oh jeez, oh man oh jeez...” He mutters to himself, pacing about in circles. How was he going to find his date now? Would he have to ask. He wasn’t ready for this level of social interaction today. He was just confident enough in his ability to talk his way through a date with someone. But having to approach random people? Ask them if they were his date? “Oh jeez...”

Bill took a moment and stood up straight, pulling in a breath of air and closed his eyes, puffing up his chest in an attempt to channel his inner strength. ‘You can do it Bill, ‘s jus’ a little talkin’ to people. Ain’t nothin’ wrong with that.’ He stood there, as stiff as a board for a few minuets before the need to breath kicked in and the poor man deflated once more. 

“Oh man...”

In Your Eyes || Valentines Event

"It is not a stupid idea!" Quentin said to Fermata while working on his latest master plan. On the ground in front of the two was a large, old boombox. Quentin fiddled with the volume knobs on the front before connecting his pink mp3 player to it. He took a deep breath, before shouting out and hoping people would hear, and understand, what he was trying to say. "Let's start with track number two! That's a good one!"

The young scientist stood up, heaving the boombox in his arms before pressing play and holding it above his head as the music echoed out. He looked over and continued explaining himself to his Lucario.

"I saw this in a movie so it's gotta work! See, all I have to do is some big romantic gesture and the person I'm supposed to go on the date with will find me and then..." Quentin fell silent, his rant ending as quickly as it began. He raised an eyebrow as he thought things through. "Uhh...I dunno...I never saw the whole thing. I'm sure it'll work out though!"

Now all Quentin could do was wait, and hope he would find the person he was paired with.

Frostbite - open starter [Event]

The strings of colorful lights that hung on the palm trees of the cities and the limited edition flavors in the Malasada shops could only mean one thing: It was finally December in Alola. 

Even if the islands lacked the crisp mountain air, the residents took their holiday festivities just as seriously. Older folks dressed as Santa in custom outfits to suit the warm temperatures and none of the major cities skimped on their tree lighting ceremonies. Many of them had to make due with man-made structures rather than a genuine pine tree, but the holiday spirit shined in the residents and snowbird tourists nonetheless. Artisans sold handmade wreaths that were decorated with seashells and bakeries were accepting orders in advance for their famous holiday treats. 

There was just one thing missing to make the mood just right.

For many younger residents of Alola, the sight of freshly fallen snow was nothing more but a fleeting desire. Traveling to Mount Lanakila was quite a hassle without strong Pokémon and many have never made a point to go there before the Pokémon League was established. 

“I wish it would snow in Alola.” was a common phrase around this time of year. Despite the rebukes from tourists who were escaping blizzards and freezing temperatures in their home regions, many children still yearned for a chance to have snowball fights with their peers and build snow people. 

Mina was no exception either. Nothing could be more exciting for her than to build a snow sculpture. 

Snow in Alola was just as rare as finding a Celebi in the wild.

“I wish it would snow here.” She mentioned offhandedly as the topic came up in a conversation the other day. “I bet it would be fun.”

And so it did. Weather forecasts couldn’t have predicted this phenomenon in advance. It just happened overnight. Everyone in Seafolk Village couldn’t believe their eyes then they woke up and the docks were covered in ice. The ocean was slow to freeze over but the sandy beaches were completely covered in pure white powder.

No one knew how it happened and some people worried about the safety of older folks and the vegetation that was sure to die off from this phenomenon. But the only thing that concerned Mina right now was building her first snow sculpture. Oberon waited patiently for her to bundle up with a pink fleece jacket, a knit hat and gloves and an ordinary pair of jeans and shoes. Believing this would be enough for their outing, the two of them set out towards the Poni Wilds to have the time of their lives. 

Or so they would think.

Lucky Number [event]

“Four... four... four...” He repeated the word under his breath, holding the slip of paper with the number written on it to his forehead. It was a little difficult to concentrate with the idle chatter among the crowd that gathered here. Eventually a vision began to form, showing the silhouette of another human. 

He couldn’t make out any of the features of his supposed date, just a general shape, which wasn’t very helpful for him. A single number just wasn’t enough to get an answer. It was too vague. It seems like Morty will just have to resort to doing this the old fashioned (and least preferred) way: interacting with people.

A tap on his shoulder from behind broke his train of thought. Perhaps his voice was just loud enough for the other person assigned his number to hear. 

“Oh, hello.” He smiled awkwardly at the other. “You wouldn’t happen to be number 4, would you?”

Event question, mods! Can we ask for further details about the crime scene or do we only have what's given in the announcement to go off? Specifically wondering how warm the body is/isn't.

This is a great question!  Ideally all the information you need about the crime scene is through DJ Mary’s news report.  More effort will be placed into the exact details of these ‘murders,’ which should give everyone enough to work with in order to create their character’s alibi.

A new rule we’re adding to the event is suggested alibis.  While these aren’t mandatory, creating an alibi for your character adds a little more depth to the game.  The more convincing your alibi, the more likely your character won’t be thrown to the wolves.  (Although little helps if your character isn’t very well liked, or is a known criminal!)

Alibis are suggested for both Civilians and members of the Mafia.  If you’re part of the Mafia, your alibi MUST contain a red herring, or a clue that could possibly lead to your character’s being outed as Mafia.  Try to be convincing, because the Civilians are ruthless.

Another thing we’ve added is the Straw Poll.  On the days where the Mafia murders an unsuspecting victim, we will post the anonymous poll towards the end of the day, and allow members to vote as to who they believe the murderer is.  Whoever gets the most votes in this poll will become the Civilian’s sacrifice.

Hope this helps!  Let us know if you need anything else clarified!
