Harvesting Bonds Festival 2023

[ulternnpc]

🎃Ulsai!🎃

EVENT DURATION: OCTOBER 25 ~ OCTOBER 31
 

The Harvesting Bonds Festival and Calyrex are back again but there's a twist lurking around the corner! What is the twist? Tune in during the day of the event to find out for more details! Of course like last time Ulternians and drifters alike are coming together to decorate, dress up and share food with one another! It's a big party all over the Ultern!

In fact there's a lot more ghost and dark type Pokemon out to play too. It's not a surprising sight to see Pokemon both tamed and wild dressed up for the occasion! What a good time everyone will be having!

Note, that the date for this event has been shortened to a week now! It will kick off starting on the 25th of this Month!

Feel free to use this post for any questions, comments or concerns! Also feel free to make plans with your fellow players!

Hey everybody early event spoiler but the plot twist is Professor Banyan is Lil Yago. I'm sorry for the insider leaks.

[goingallout]

wow tag your spoilers

[ulternprofessor]

I swear it was just a momentary weakness on my part!!! Uuhhh Majimun made me do it!!! Yasa!!!

[serperiority]

Can't sleep. 'Lil Yago will eat me.

[ulternprofessor]

What do you mean? I'm only here to dance and sing!

Alice first came in right after Harvesting Bonds last year, so she'll be a little sad but a lot excited to see more of what Ultern has left to offer! She'll try and help her Pokémon dress up (their costumes might not be too great) and is more than happy to see what the holiday has going on.

October 23rd is also a TPP holiday dedicated to OLDEN, the god of glitches and illusions, though the relative newness of the holiday in-universe likely means it's one of those holidays that don't have a lot of traditions, you just get the day off work. She might be inspired to dress up as Missingno. or something, if that.

X(closedbond) will absolutely be participating in the Harvesting Bonds this year! It'll be his first one so he'll just be wandering around to find out what it's all about.

I have no other plans with any other characters but I might throw in a few others for fun! Since hey, there'd be free food. No reason not to join up!

NPC-wise
Professor Banyan will dress up again as Lil Yago!!!

Manzana will be around too as the main event takes place in the town he lives in (Gilterrace). He'll definitely be inviting Buson (& Bashou) for the party too so there is that! Hopefully he didn't make any food

[buson]

Buson loves parties!!! He absolutely would be down to visit Manzana and Anemone too. ^^

Bashou generally avoids those like the plague, he doesn't like crowds or intoxicated people, but I guess we'll wait for Simone to weigh in. :D;;;

this is my only other Pokemon icon on here askfjasf

[spagonia]

I did get an OK for Bashou so yeah!!!! Party time with the fam!!! Manzana will definitely be texting Buson whenever he's heading over to the party like

"hey I'm on my way!! I'll see you two soon! :)" smiley absolutely included lol

do not apologize, Rowlet is on-brand and this icon is hilarious and joyful, SuMo was funny

[buson]

Awesome!!! ^_^

[bashou]

Bashou might be persuaded to come along and hover on the fringes (no costume, of course...) if Buson is there!

On a side note - are there any Shuppet in Ultern? Bashou tends to attract them, being the shining beacon of negative emotions that he is...

(If so, apologies to Manzana and Anemone, your house might temporarily be surrounded by Shuppet...)

[buson]

Buson wouldn't miss it for the world, so, yes, he'll be there! ^_^ ... Buson has a sense of humour and fun enjoys costumes, so he'll wear one!

They would not be native, as I don't believe I ever saw any in either Ulternian PokeDex, but we can always write it as one that had drifted in... Pokemon from other regions can drift in alone too, drifting is not a human-only phenomenom after all! ^^ I had a drifted Banette for a little plot with Trip and Ash too. ;3;

[closedbond]

Just chiming in that more ghosts and dark types should be showing up in general during that event so it should be fine! ☺️☺️

Knowing Anemone she would be endeared to the Shuppets ahaha!

[squaredup]

Calla will absolutely be there for all the assorted chaos of the season, and feel free to give her a good scare! 'Tis the season for it, after all.
