    You get bonus points for completing reviews while the event is running, but if you can't complete them until after, that's okay, too! Do you have any idea of how many reviews you'd like to write?

    The Festival of Masks

    [[ Congratulations to FauxFox on completing his hidden objective! ]] @IFBench @ShiniGojira @System Error Carmine jerked away from Satomi's reaching hand, reflexively grabbing her mask to keep it in place. "Who the hell are you?" she demanded over Morpeko's angry chatters. Any such question...

    The Festival of Masks

    @canisaries @Flyg0n @Seren @Sinderella @UnknownUser55 The ogre hunt continued, and Fezandipiti continued to hang around the stage, accepting gifts of food and coin from awestruck festivalgoers--and answering skeptical questions from Marcel and Vienna. A minor commotion had begun down in the...

    If you could create your own evil team, what would it be?

    This is indeed a fun topic! Sounds like you have some neat ideas for it, too. I'm curious about Team BugBuzz; if they want to be on par with Magma/Aqua, do they have ecological designs, too? And I'm guessing Team Clown... would be big blacephalon fans? :P I haven't thought a great deal about...

    The Festival of Masks

    @Sinderella Hmm, prior incidents, Fezandipiti said thoughtfully. Well, nothing like murder, not that I know of. More mayhem, general rabble-rousing, that sort of thing. You must understand, the villagers were all terrified of the ogre. It's noble to want to suggest a more gentle solution to...

    The Festival of Masks

    @FauxFox Ogerpon hesitated a moment, but then reached out to take Theo's hand and let him lead the way through the crowd. It was tough, staying together when the crowd was in such an uproar, but with a bit of judicious shoving, they were able to make good progress. Once or twice someone came...

    The Festival of Masks

    [[ Congratulations to Dragonfree for being the first to fulfill her hidden objective! ]] @Dragonfree It wasn't hard to catch up to the boy in the Ogerpon mask; he was presently held up by what looked to be a group of kids around his age, who seemed to find the situation more entertaining than...

    The Festival of Masks

    @FauxFox @System Error Something Theo said seemed to have struck a chord with the poncho-wearing child, because they patted Theo's hand, as if to reassure him. Their poncho felt smooth and almost waxy, like the surface of a leaf. I will do my best not to worry. But I fear these Loyal Three are...

    The Festival of Masks

    @canisaries @Flyg0n @Seren @Sinderella @UnknownUser55 The performance was wrapping up, the actors returning to the stage to enthusiastic applause. "But remember," the narrator intoned. "That horrible ogre lives with us yet. Far, far above the village, only waiting for the day when it will...

    Intro Thread

    Welcome to the forums! You're totally right, if you can both write and draw, nothing better than getting to illustrate your own stories and connecting with people that way, too. Glad you've been able to figure out what works for you to put out your own story, and it's definitely an intriguing...

    The Festival of Masks

    @Dragonfree If it was possible, Kieran scrunched in even tighter, hugging himself with one arm while he continued to fiddle with his hair with his other hand. "W-well that's what everybody says, I guess. But I dunno... I, I've always liked the ogre better. Everybody's afraid of it, but it's...

    The Festival of Masks

    @System Error Fezandipiti regarded Satomi for a long moment, then nodded. Well met, Priestess Satomi Kurusu, he said. If there was any recognition there, it seemed he preferred not to acknowledge it. It is quite a lovely festival, isn't it? Who could ask for a greater honor than to be...

    The Festival of Masks

    "With the ogre gone, the villagers came out of hiding, rushing to the aid of their loyal protectors," the onstage narrator continued. "But alas, they were too late. Our Loyal Three had paid the ultimate price to protect the village from the ogre's wrath." A small cluster of actors hurried onto...

    The Festival of Masks

    @FauxFox The child listened to Theo's response, head tipped slightly to one side. They didn't react much to his answer, instead turning to gaze back at the festival's lights. They can be, they said softly. It isn't safe for me to be here, but I keep coming back. People come from all over for...

    Lesser known Starter Pokemon?

    Interesting… I think the options are going to differ a bit depending on whether it’s a case of the program really wanting to set the kids up for success and simply not being able to afford Charmander-tier mon, or whether they don’t really care and are just getting whatever random stuff they can...

    The Festival of Masks

    @System Error The walk back to the festival was largely uneventful. As she went along, Satomi might now and again notice the footprints she'd found at the shrine running on ahead of her--two sets of them, anyway. The long and narrow ones seemed to have vanished completely. The other two pairs...
