what's cooler than being cool? ice cold
Who: everyone!
What: hey wait a minute, why's it suddenly cold oh for fuck's sake Strange...
Where: the carnival + Alola
When: all of day 76!
Warnings: none, will edit if needed
the Carnival
Surprise, it's now winter.
Starting from the early hours of day 76, the Carnival is covered in snow, the temperature rapidly dropping from 'nice' to 'freezing.' Patterns of frost cover everything and icicles dangle from most buildings. Try to be careful as you're walking around, patches of the ground are frozen over and incredibly slick. Nobody be that dumbass who tries to stick their tongue to the ferris wheel, you're just going to regret it later. Enjoy the fact that almost anything that used to be a liquid is now frozen solid. All in all, it's like someone flipped a switch from summer to winter--there was absolutely no sign something like this would happen in the first place. Why not ask around to see what's up? Or, just enjoy the change of weather and pelt your friend in the face with a snowball, that's also an option. The Carnival re-enacting the plot of Frozen lasts all day, though things finally start to melt and/or magically vanish once dusk settles.
For all you vampires who've slept through most of this, the effects of winter still linger a bit after the faerie's vanished, though in slowly diminishing form. The temperature's a bit warmer and some of the liquids have started to melt, but it's still a bit uncomfortable. It's hard to clean up an entire magical wintery hellscape by yourself, okay?
Alola
Due to the way the Carnival drops people in Alola, it's entirely possible to miss the fact that something weird's going on at the Carnival. Still, some of the winter wonderland manages to seep it's way into the tropical paradise. For most people, the changes are noticeable but easily dealt with. The temperature drops to something more chilly but not downright freezing. Occasionally there are small flurries of snow, but they'll end up melting fairly quickly. Locals are downright confused, mentioning that really, it shouldn't be this cold, this weather is weirdly unseasonable.
Also, what's that weird little ice fox that keeps showing up? More and more ice Pokemon feel a little bit braver thanks to the cold temperatures and are willing to venture out into areas that ice Pokemon might not normally live in. Go train all your fire cats by having them beat up the sentient ice cream cones, everybody.
( ooc: here is the relevant ooc post! This is an open mingle-style log, so feel free to create your own threads, tag around & have some fun! )

"Didn't peg you for a dog person," is what he'll say by way of greeting.
no subject
"Ruff." It's a small, high-pitched bark, a tentative greeting.
"Why not?" said Sherlock, not looking up from his book. He scratched the Rockruff's head. There was a happy yip and a few errant licks from the small Pokemon. He had not, unfortunately, owned a dog--childhood trauma would do that to a person. Even despite all that, Sherlock secretly adored dogs, it was one of the few things that could melt his heart.
no subject
"Seems like you get along, though." He wiggles his fingers at the Rockruff, idly. "Pocket-sized, too. Convenient."
no subject
Toby tilted his head, and after a tentative sniff, barked once. "Ruff!" He seemed to accept Lambert's presence, and wagged his tail a little.
"Truth be told, I've always wanted a dog." A pause. "Have you picked up any Pokemon yet, yourself?"
no subject
The Rockruff was kind of a weak-looking thing, but appearances could be deceiving around here. It would just be Lambert's luck to be suplexed by a dog for making it thing he meant to insult his master.
"I've picked up a couple. They're handy for getting around."
no subject
This seemed to annoy Sherlock just as much as it made him feel better.
Toby tilted his head the other way, and let out a suspicious "Ruff?" before curling back up on top of his trainer's chest.
Getting around? The detective's brows went up. Now that was interesting.
"You have Pokémon that can transport you? How did you come by those?"
no subject
Still, since Sherlock is asking, he taps at one of the Pokeballs attached to his belt to release the Pokemon inside. The little donkey that pops out (it looks far too silly to be a real creature, but then again, maybe that's what suits Lambert) lifts its head lazily, ears flicking as it takes in the new arrivals.
"This is Pig."
no subject
He blinked at the little donkey-creature that pops out of the Pokeball.
"Huh. Neat. Transportation in a compact little space."
Toby suddenly jumped up and off of Sherlock's chest, sniffing intently and approaching Pig.
"Ruff?" he inquired.
no subject
"S'called a Pokeball. Seems like they only work on these things." Animals, creatures, even the term monster would be apt for some of the ones he's seen around here.
Pig flicks an ear back when the Rockruff approaches, but doesn't otherwise approach. It seems exceptionallly lazy, really, standing docile and apparently uncaring of its surroundings.
no subject
"Ruff?" Toby did a little play-bow, his tail wagging, head tilting in a curious way. Play?
no subject
"Tends to be more food-motivated, though." At the word 'food,' the Mudbray noticeably perked up, glancing at Lambert hopefully. The witcher shook his head, snorting and giving it a good scratch between the ears -- which seemed to finally be the trigger for it to relax it a little, glancing down at the Toby and leaning in to give it a good snuffle. Just in case it was carrying anything edible... and in greeting, more or less. It was clear the donkey-like Pokemon was never going to display as much energy as the little dog, but at least it was a little more interested.
"You planning to keep it?"
no subject
"I..." He looked down at Toby, who took the moment to look back up at him with the largest, most-impossible-to-say-no-to eyes. Blast. "Yes, of course I am."
He had no idea how that was going to fly at the Carnival, but he didn't really care about the rules as much. He'd sneak Toby in his trailer for the rest of the year if he had to.
no subject
Though the little pup looks like it could hardly beat a bug on a good day, Lambert's own experience with Pig has given him more respect for not underestimating pint-sized creatures. After all, nekkers were much the same. You let their height get in the way of realizing they could kill you, and you wouldn't survive long.
no subject
Toby jumped back on Sherlock and tried to lick his face happily. "Besides, the beaches are peaceful. Nobody bothers me."
[ CUE UP BATTLE THEME MUSIC??? ]
"Wanna find out?" He stands up, brushing sand of his clothes. Lambert is the veritable personification of bothering people, so this shouldn't really come as a surprise. "Easiest way to show you would be a fight."
At the word 'fight,' Pig perks up, more interested now. Fights usually mean food afterwards for a job well done.
[ IT'S HAPPENING ]
But his precious Toby!
"Well, it's up to you," he said, to the Rockruff who was trying to lick his face. "Want to battle?"
"Ruff!"
Guess that was a yes. Sherlock got up, brushing the sand off of himself and Toby, and set him down.
"Let's do it."
no subject
Pig, sensing the shift in mood, perked up immediately, pawing at the ground with a hoof and getting into a battle-ready stance. Lambert crossed his arms, smirked, and raised his brows at the other man.
"Hope you're ready to pay up. C'mon, Pig!" The formerly-docile little donkey started the fight off the way it always preferred -- by throwing mud at its enemy's face.
