Test Drive Meme - December - Merry Christmas and a New Year!



December has arrived! And it's a festive, very festive time for the people of Alola. You'll find that many local businesses are doing well this time of year as there's brilliant lights being strung up, in preparation of people, both tourists and people. The doors are open, the Christmas Spirit is in the air, and Delibirds have arrived to start taking letters to Santa! Mallow in particular has been a chief advocate of getting your letters into Santa, as this is the second Christmas Vacation coming up for the Fallers, and soon you'll be off school for Christmas Break which starts on the 18th.

You'll have lots to do, but soon, there'll be a aura of business as Christmas begins to loom closer and closer, as a sense of urgency starts pushing forward as the Delibirds seem more and more urgent...




A. Arrival

Another wave of Ultra Holes have opened up over the Island, alarms have appeared and the Ultra Guardians as well as Bewear has come into play. This time, the Fallers have been asked to intercept the literally Falling people who are coming out of the holes and brief them and bring them to the Pokemon Center, ie Immigration to get checked in. Wicke is there to answer questions but a few volunteers may be there as well. The experienced Fallers can get you up to speed.


B. The Alola Community Visitors Plaza

A venue usually for tourists, new Fallers are given a chance to see the main tourist area for Alola, in order to orient and familiarize themselves with the nature of Alola and Pokemon in general. A far cry from the disorganized mob that was originally there, this time, there are people set up in the stands, ready to receive tourists and Fallers alike. Pamphlets, interviews with locals and tour guides, Ride Pokemon to take you around the island, and various other places are available. Please look around, the choice is yours. This month it is decorated for the Festival of Lights, aka Christmas.


C. The Hau’oli City Markets

This is where the marketplace stands, full of fresh fruit and food. Those who are hungry can be treated to a delicious taste of Alola. Not once, not twice, but more times than they can imagine. Your coin is good here, even if it’s alien in nature. Even if you don’t have coin, you’ll be fine. Ohana. No one is left behind or forgotten. We’re not about to let people go hungry in this world. Nature’s bounty is for everyone, humans and Pokemon alike. There’s no need to steal, just ask the marketplace for some food if you are very hungry. Even if you’re shy, Miss Anela will offer you a snack. There's a lot of holiday treats.


D. Job Board

Odd Jobs have been posted here right now, thanks to the efforts of the people who have decided to help the Fallers out, and it’s also a help wanted board for those who want to earn some coin in the middle of the week before the beginning of the school year. Tasks such as bucking crates of Juice off a truck, to doing some simple paperwork in an office for a few days, and even tending Pokemon in a farm on Akala Island. The choice is yours. Get out and explore. There's a lot of decorating jobs right now.


E. Exploring the entire island chain

If you wish to explore Melemele, it is a big island, and there is plenty to see. There are Forests, Honey Fields, Hot Springs, Beaches, and many other places. Melemele boasts one of the biggest cities Hau’oli City, and is the capital of Alola. Here, up at the top of a large plateau is the challenge area where Hala offers the Grand Trial. The caves are full of Pokemon, and your Pokemon are eager to prove themselves in a Trial. There's plenty to see now, with Akala island, Ula'ula Island and Poni Islands also opened up for tourism.


F. Grand Trials

The Four Kahuna are accepting challengers once more. Those who wish to participate in the sacred trials are allowed to participate in the Grand Trials once more, to earn the right of the Z. With the goals in mind, you may undertake a Trial to earn a Z-Crystal first, and then take on a Grand Trial for a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. The choice is yours which to tackle first.


G. Festival of Lights

There's actually two Festival of Lights this time around! The Boat Festival where there will be several boats on the water displaying gorgeous lights which shine on the water, and the festival where the land shines with twinkling lights on the seventh. The first is on the 13th. There seems to be a wonderful time coming up.


H. Melemele General Hospital

Even Angela is working extra hard to make sure everyone's prepared for the winter, and that makes time for checkups, and other such things. If you've got the sniffles, this one is for you. But also, come chat with Angela, and meet some of the more colorful visitors from Overwatch Earth.


I. Aether Labs

Come review the brand new information that makes the Ultra Guardians go on the offensive. Which means, Aether Labs is open to the science community! The scientific community heads can now access the labs, and the resources within. Under the guidance of Wicke, Faba and, Burnet, you're allowed access to Aether's resources to build and invent and upgrade and repair your own equipment.


J. Alolan Steel Guitar Festival

Come listen to the native music of the people, leading into the city. You can listen, try out one of the steel guitars, dance, the choice is yours! Your world is yours to explore!


K. Lighting of the Banyan Tree

In the middle of the city there's a massive tree being erected. This is the Banyan Tree, and on the seventh during the Festival of Lights, it will be lit up! Come check it out!

"Nyyhhh....Like I said, probably not w' what you're imaginin'..." Does he know what the other is imagining?? Probably not. But hey.

H-

Wh

"....Th' heck does tha' even mean..."

"I kinda hope not.. actually." Not wanting to feel a physical attraction towards any version of Kaiba.

"The heck does what even mean?" Confusing the pair of them with his phrasing apparently. Getting back on track he says. "Maybe I'm gonna regret dis... .but.... you gotta crush on Kaiba?"

"Please tell me I'm totally off base here."
luckydragonsfoot: (ewwwww thing)

"We ain't goin' anywhere near tha' topic until y' tell me what y' mean by dog..!"

"Looks like I hit a sore spot..." Which was still super disturbing to him. "I mean.... ya know.. unattractive. Not appealing...." Some flat-chested girls could be good looking but if Kaiba still looked masculine then .. no thanks? I mean... NO THANKS IN GENERAL.

Yes, the sore spot was hit.

"Well- sure it wasn't da best choice but ... it would serve Kaiba right really." He was among one of Joey's infrequent tormentors.

Then looking at the other Jou he could see that it still really bothered him. "Look- don't get all bent out of shape over it. I didn't really mean anything by it.... it was just an expression."
luckydragonsfoot: (he ran into my fist 12 times honest offi)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2019-12-19 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
"Nyyhhh...whatever man..." At least he's not being grilled about crushes he may or may not have-

"Anyway, 'f you jus' got here, where y' stayin'? Someone's gonna have t' lend y' a couch or somethin'..."
perpetual_underdog: (Sweatdrop)

[personal profile] perpetual_underdog 2019-12-19 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
No, but he came super close to it.

"Uh.... where?" Reaching up he scratched his head, scuffing one shoe sole against the pavement. "Dat.. is a very good question. I was kinda betting on waking up....."
luckydragonsfoot: (say again-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2019-12-19 01:12 pm (UTC)(link)
"....Oh righ'." Yes he sure was going on about that at the start huh.

....

... "Well leas' that's one thing outta th' way." Katsuya no-
perpetual_underdog: (Charming)

[personal profile] perpetual_underdog 2019-12-20 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
He sure was. It was taking some doing to get over his denial but as vivid as his dreams were they didn't usually go on at length.

".. .Uh.. yeah. Guess so." Still not sure what he was gonna do about housing. "Don't suppose you've got a spare room handy?" Feeling a little embarrassed to have to ask. "Or... a free couch? I ain't picky."
luckydragonsfoot: (u done yet)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2019-12-20 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
"Nyh.... ...not really somethin' I can answer t' be honest...sorta comes down t' what Wicke says..." Welp.

"...Eh, guess y' oughta see her anyway though, if you're gonna find anyone..."

"Whose Wicke? Your landlord?" It was a reasonable assumption.

"Huh- what are ya talking about. What does your landlord have ta do wit' missing persons?" Or maybe he meant to find any other roommates Joey.

"Ah- well... ya can't blame a guy for trying."
luckydragonsfoot: (nyh-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2019-12-21 05:40 pm (UTC)(link)
"Wha'? Tha' implies I even got a place permanently, y'know! Nah, Wicke's one 'f Aether's people. She's th' one tha' offered me a spot t' stay when I got here... ...more than tha' though, Aether's th' buildin that processes everyone so they can know what th' heck they're doin'."
perpetual_underdog: (Pointing)

[personal profile] perpetual_underdog 2019-12-22 06:33 am (UTC)(link)
"Heh?! You mean you're not dat much farther away from living on da street dan me?!" At least that was how Joey interpreted it. He tended to jump to conclusions quickly. "Aether, Ultra holes, Pokemon... I'm not gonna get used to any of deeze terms!" Lamenting having to deal with quite so many new concepts at one time. The panic was a little amplified from focusing on his essential homelessness.

Being 'processed' didn't exactly sound all that appealing either. "Cheese gets processed... people shouldn't. What exactly do deeze Aether people have us do anyway? Like.. they take fingerprints? Have you fill out miles of paperwork? What?"
luckydragonsfoot: (nyh-)

[personal profile] luckydragonsfoot 2019-12-23 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
"Well where do y' think everyone else is! We all jus' fell here man, we've got th' clothes on our backs an nothin' else unless we're lucky!"

Anyway. "Awww, you'll figure it out...I did, so..."

....

did he really say that about the cheese, did he say tha-

"Nyh? Er...nothin' huge, jus' a few things...definitely not miles anyway..."
