thievery,

a vcwaterfest starter for @vcjiseok

the first day of the water festival is not something that interests him. he can get food from gotta eat ‘em all easily, and for free mind you, and he’s never quite enjoyed being in wet clothes. it had been more cumbersome than anything really, considering that it was held in the main courtyard and jiho had found himself needing to walk around the grounds, rather than through them, to avoid getting soaked. 

but the second day has the barbecue, and that excites him. usually, he would bring his pokemon along but lycanroc didn’t like getting his fur wet involuntarily -- the pokemon loved to swim and run in the water near the beach but didn’t like getting shot at by water guns -- so he was braving the festival on his own. he had mostly only planned to sneak in and nab a ton of pokepuffs, maybe get some barbecue for himself, and then be on his way. the pokepuffs were for his tropius mostly, but also for everyone else on his team. he sneaks a tupperware container in, his expression blank as usual so as not to rouse suspicion. unlimited free food meant that he could take whatever he wanted right? right. 

so once he’s eaten some wings and half of a hot dog, jiho has scooped as many pokepuffs as he could fit into the tupperware, the lid balancing precariously on top. he turns to leave, and almost smacks directly into a very, uh, wet chest. after making sure he hadn’t dropped a pokepuff, he glances up to apologize to whoever he had bumped into. “ah ... hyung,” he greets, pushing his glasses up slightly so they sat higher on his nose bridge. “fancy seeing you here ...?”

+ buttery demise

vcwaterfest starter for @vcsunjin.

     jiseok has to say that he genuinely loves the water festival that takes place every year. it’s his second year participating in it as a faculty member, and he remembers his first time ever as a student. it’s only gotten more exciting since then, and he thinks that experiencing it as a faculty member who’d participated in setting it up makes it even more rewarding when he gets to go around and see what they’ve done. 

     he’s been craving the popcorn ever since he spotted the stand, and he finally has a bucket in his hands, popping a few of the buttery kernels into his mouth. to be totally honest, he’s not paying full attention to his surroundings or his popcorn, eating it absent-mindedly as he cranes his neck to see what else is going on at the festival. he’s already plotting the next place in his mind, his grip on his popcorn loosening slightly as he stops paying as much attention to his buttery treat, just eating without thinking.

     leaning back from the sink as he washes the dishes, he arches an eyebrow at his friend, having just finished lunch. “hey, do you wanna go to the water festival?” he calls out. a screech interrupts the end of his question as he splashes himself with water, and he curses to himself under his breath. “nope, nope, no more turning my head when i’m washing the dishes...” he grumbles as he dries his hands, and he exits the communal kitchen to re-enter the dining area while dabbing at splashes of water on his shirt, a huff dying on his lips. 

     “i heard there’s going to be a lot of good food -- i mean, i can’t really bring any of my pokemon since they’re all fire and they’d probably die at the festival, but we can snag some water guns and splash random people?” he rambles as he looks up from dabbing at his shirt to blink at the older boy.

As summer is drawing to a close, Victoria College is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the 2019 Water Festival! Come out in the sunny weather with plenty of waterproof sunblock and get to know your fellow students and faculty members with free food, games galore, and a massive water fight! All Pokémon, whether Water-type or not, are welcome as well.

Details of the event can be found under the cut.

We’re pleased to introduce Victoria College’s first event! This event will take place in character on the weekend of August 17-18, 2019. Out of character, the event will run from August 11 to 24! We request that you start all interactions between this period, though of course, you may continue interactions even after the event is over. 

The main attraction of the event is the large water park that’s been installed in the main courtyard. There are slip-and-slides, fountains, and even small tide pools for Pokémon and trainers alike to wade in. However, it is recommended that you only bring Pokémon who can withstand water. We wouldn’t want to give the nurses extra work! Please also be careful when bringing extra-large Pokémon, as they may cause damage to the site and other Pokemon. There will be food trucks and stalls from some of the restaurants in Tajiri Town on location. 

On Saturday afternoon (August 17), there will be an epic water fight! You can even borrow water guns onsite if you don’t have any guns or Water Pokémon on hand. On Sunday night (August 18), there will be a free barbecue meal for all who attend! Everyone is welcome, and encouraged, to have seconds and even thirds. Of course, Pokémon friendly food will be available as well along with Poképuffs and Pokéblocks. 

And of course, an event wouldn’t be an event without a way to gain points! For every STARTER you write, you may claim ONE EVP. Also, for every starter you REPLY TO, you can also gain ONE EVP, but only for the first reply on the post. Make sure you link the starter/reply on your tracker so we can all refer to it! Please tag all posts with #vcwaterfest.

& by any other name ;

a starter for @vcjiho !

daehyun whines to himself, hardly daring believe that the instant he wandered out into the water festival, chaos had struck him. he’d planned to spend the day with tide, since the piplup is the only one of his pokemon who actually enjoys water, but tide, troublemaker that he is, had scampered off almost immediately after they’d stepped out into the open. he supposes the little penguin had been enticed by all the water around, but still. couldn’t he have stayed or waited... 

“tide...!” he calls out with a pout, his eyebrows furrowing together in worry as he searches the area for his lost piplup. the problem is that there’s too much blue around in honor of the water festival, and his piplup is certainly not the only one. he searches desperately, calling out tide’s name all the time, and as time passes, he grows more and more frantic, tears of fright starting to well up in his eyes. 

“tide -- tide! where are you?!” he calls, his whole face a mask of fright. he spots a piplup in a stranger’s arms, but he isn’t sure if it’s his. “tide??” he calls as he hurries up to the male, hoping desperately.
