Wo @ Vargas:
The snail squinted a little as he went up to the Braixen.
Wo: "Forgive me for any misunderstanding, but...I think I have seen you before. I recall someone like you visiting me and Oki before our wedding. If so, do you remember doing that?"
[VARGAS] : "..."
Vargas ponders for a bit when he was approached by Wo, trying to remember what he was talking about. His face lit up just as he looked up at the curious snail.
[VARGAS]: "Oh yes, yes of course! I do remember! It seems like you were invited to this so-called gathering too ... how was the wedding? Apologies for not showing up, I might not have learned where it actually took place but I do hope it went well."
He was just glad he could see a familiar face around here. @the-feral-one
[ Vargas has slightly increased his affinity with Wo. ]
Wo: "I did want to invite you to our wedding, but I was unsure if the invite would have been able to reach you before the ceremony.. I hope that you can forgive me.."
His expression turned happier as he spoke again.
Wo: "It was wonderful..~ There was a lot of emotions being felt by everyone who wanted to celebrate with us, and we were thankful towards them when the event came to an end~ After it did end, we stayed a little longer to help put everything away before returning home~ The location was Kitakami. Do you know of the place?"
[VARGAS]: "I'm so glad it went well! Although truth be told ... the only place I've ever known is back home. This is admittedly my first time venturing into another place."
Vargas' expression was uncertain for brief moment but hoping not to ruin the mood, he kept his smile as he turned back to Wo.
[VARGAS]: "But I would love to go there when I have the chance. Surely you wouldn't mind being my guide there?"
Vargas' Event Journal
Entry #1 - Strange Lights and New Sights
Lady of the Light, guide me ...
I never would expect I'd fine the event on my own but luckily I've managed to get to it. If only Almaren was here with me ... we decided to split up after escaping that dark path. I have good faith that she will make it out.
I've decided to write about this event lest I forget about it and the people I've met here ...
For starters everything is doing well. I met Wo a second time after a brief encounter with them amidst their wedding ceremony. Even though I wasn't able to go I'm still happy for them ... love is such a treasure even more than the very light I seek in my own journey.
Right ... the journey at hand ...
The only reason I decided to go here is to find answers or at the very least ... seek any help with the lantern I have with me, perhaps they might know something about it.
Speaking of which I did meet quite the curious fellow too ... a Meowstic dressed in her best clothes. Here's hoping I can see her again after this just like with Wo. She does seem to be in good spirits.
That's all I can write about for now. I just saw a statue when I looked around, a deity perhaps? I'll give it a closer look and enjoy what's in store for this event in the meantime ...
(@ask-pokecats) Annalisé approaches Vargas as she takes her hat and waves at him.
"Salut! I really hope you'll enjzoy your time here!
Your colors are SO beautziful. Okay, let's not talk about zis, what are you gonna try first at ze rite?"
A new encounter! Would she be a friend or a foe ... ? Only one way to find out ...
[VARGAS]: "Oh? Why hello there! I must say your outfit is quite eye catching too. I suppose a lot of folks here go in their best clothes it seems ..."
Vargas would place down his own lantern on the ground for a brief moment, not feeling the need to hold it in his paws.
[VARGAS]: "Funny you should ask that because ... I may have just stumbled upon here. I might need to have a look around to see what I can do. Do you have any ideas might I ask?"

[Side Quest Unlocked: Lantern Rite Festival]
Prologue - Arrival
"Lady of the Light, guide us ..."
Vargas had been wandering the forest for what seemed like ages but despite this, the path never seemed to end. It was only trees that he can see, and it didn't help that it was dark either. If only Almaren was here ... he thought to himself.
Slowly but shakily, he would brave the forest clutching the one single lantern and invitation he had in his hands. He knows there must be an exit somewhere. That's when his eyes caught something, a stray lantern, its amber glow almost mesmerizing to the Braixen. Looking around, he saw another, and another ... up until a few were lighting up a path for him. Soon enough, he saw a clearing out into the forest. Pokemon like him gathered around with the same lanterns he saw hanging on elevated ornate structures.
"Finally ... looks like this is the place." He uttered a sigh of relief just as he took a good look around the place, ready to see what this festival had to offer.

It is often said that the Lady of Lumos suddenly emerged after The Rupture. Not much is known about her and her motives despite numerous sightings.
The Augur's Journal - 2
Light's a bit comforting now. I suppose it just needs some getting used to. After all, there was a long journey ahead of us.
Almaren meanwhile seems to faring well, keeping watch for something that might pounce at us. So far so good as they s-
...
...
A rustling? It can't be ... there is no foliage here where we are ... Almaren seemed to hear it too. She had a look of concern when she looked over at me.
We were deciding whether we should investigate for the sake of our sanity or should we just sit it out for a while.
I'll let my thoughts linger for a bit as it doesn't seem to be approaching towards us.

Be wary of spectres. Some are known to lead people astray and can only be harmed by cursed objects.
"Wow, you are huge! I almost thought you were a tree for a second." Vargas looks toward Wo-Chien, then to their would-be husband with an excited look. "Marriage is definitely a wonder in itself. How would you both describe love if it were a painting?"
Wo: "Greetings!" (he tilted his head a little after hearing what was said) "That isn't something new to me, sometimes I hear the young ones say that. 'Mr Snail' sometimes becomes 'Mr Tree', and I let them use it for a while, before I make the request for them not do that.."
He and Oki then had a thought, both doing the same 'rubbing a finger on the chin' motion.
Wo: "Perhaps...something like a painting of two lovers sitting at a picnic. They would be sitting at the picnic until sunset, being unwilling to move. They would also be sharing what they have with the birds that choose to stop by too."
Oki: "Perhaps...a painting of a steak? Or one of a big fruit pie? Wo can make really good fruit pies! I heard the academy students really like them!"
Wo's cheeks started turning pink and he slowly nuzzled Oki. The dog put his arms around the blushing snail.
Oki: "We are looking forward to our wedding too! I hope we can get invites out soon! I also hope that those waiting for them can forgive us for taking a long while to get them out.."
"It's quite fascinating if you do think of it that way! I remember quite fondly how The Oracle would say that love is but a soul lighting up 2 vessels."
Vargas would start scribbling something down his journal before turning to face the couple.
"I would love to see whatever you have planned just to see what its like. I guess I might just be a flickering spark when it comes to these things but I'm charmed you two have it all figured out!"
Asks Sendout!
While I slowly work on blog stuff I figured it's been a while since I've sent out in character asks. Sending in my light boy Vargas out to those who need it!
Reply and let me know which character of yours you want an ask for!
(Alternatively, you can also suggest some blogs that need some asks.)
The Augur's Journal - 1 ???
Who knew the darkness was so quiet? A vast unlit room and all you have is a candle ... something I just need to get used to.
I have to get Alma to hold my hand even with this lantern. It's a bit comforting as we walked into the dark.
Nothing much has been happening out here, a few fireflies were still there following us but I got tired after a while and decided to set up camp. I'll just write whatever comes after me leaving this city from here on out. It was a job my father had after all but strangely ... he never left any stories of his travels.
I might need to write something about the many people I've talked to back in the city. That's a good place to start.
I do hear something from afar ... footsteps even though I never heard a sound as we walked. I better alert Alma see if there's something afoot. I'm confident this lantern of mine will make a good campfire.
Episode 1 - Venture
Silence.
Dead silence.
The darkness from the outside is said to be a lot of things to those brave or unfortunate enough to venture towards it. Cold. Barren. Unforgiving.
It's as if the sky had fallen into a deep slumber and the stars refused to shine for it.
One thing's for certain, amidst all the nothingness that the outside offers ... the fireflies remained, undisturbed and scatter fragments of what the world once was.
...
[VARGAS]: "I think this is a good place to rest, don't you think?"
[ALMAREN]: "..."
There was no response from Almaren, only staring into the distance.
[VARGAS]: "Alma? You there?"
[ALMAREN]: "Hmmm? Oh right ... yeah, I think this is a good place for now."
[VARGAS]: "Are you feeling alright? You seemed to space out there for a bit ..."
[ALMAREN]: "I'm fine, Vargas. Let's just rest here in the meantime."
With that, Vargas planted his lantern on the ground with its ethereal white glow lighting up a small area in their vicinity. Soon enough, a few of the fireflies would circle around it, providing the two a bit of company in the darkness.
[No hostile entities detected. It is safe to rest.]
[Questions for VARGAS and ALMAREN are now accepted.]

Destino: Uhhh, this city is so confusing. Why can’t it just be straightforward? *Vargas catches their eyes* hello there~ what an interesting coat colour. Not as interesting as mine but nobody’s as amazing as I am. I’ve read books containing your kind in and I thought you were supposed to be yellow or whatever? What’s the dealio with that?
"Other ones ... like me ... ?"
Vargas had always been fascinated by other places outside of the glass city. The more he knew about them, the more he wanted to venture out into the vast unknown. To think that he was visibly excited about the prospect of another Braxen was an understatement. He had only been the only one of his kind as far as he knew.
"Please! You have to tell me where you can find my kind! I'd like to meet them!"
He was beaming with excitement that you can almost see stars in his eyes as he got a bit too close to Destino.
"Or perhaps ... introduced me to one? I might have gotten a bit too ahead of myself ... Who might you be if I may ask?"
