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! )

"I dunno how you came across yours, but mine's as much a part of me as my tail. NOT using it would be weird and probably impossible anyway."

In any case, with them back among the tents and trailers, Lambert didn't seem to have any intention of stopping, cold or no cold. He wiggled his fingers at her lazily, clucking at his Mudbray. "Guess this is where we say goodbye. C'mon, Pig."

"Just gonna make sure the plant the Ringmaster gave us hasn't died thanks to all of this, then I'm getting out of here." Someone else's problem to deal with, since there isn't any immediate dying or blood involved.

"All right," he says, with a shrug. "If you want to, I'm not going to turn down the help." Although, more practically-- "Might as well swing by your trailer if you need something else to wear, if it's on the way."

"After you." He waved ahead, indicating she should take the lead. After all, he had no clue which trailer she was in.

"Booyah," she said with a nod.

"About time," Lambert answered once Ash popped back up, but mostly as a joke -- that was impressively fast for a wardrobe change, no matter how you looked at it. Still, everything could seem like a small eternity when you were out in the cold. Pig's not in sight, having been summoned back into the Pokeball, but with Ash's return Lambert starts heading them off back to the lakeshore.
It didn't take long to find what they were looking for, though it's not thanks to Lambert's great navigational skills or anything. There was no sign of a garden, buried under snow as the lakeshore was ... but there was, however, a neat circle in the snow, as though something had melted through it. Heading over, Lambert found himself squinting at the miniature tree, still innocuously planted in the mound he'd left it in... but with the ground completely clear of snow within a foot around it.
"Huh," Lambert said, out loud. "That's new."
no subject
As soon as she saw the tree and its sphere of influence, though, Ash dropped the beat -- mid-note, in fact, because she'd immediately made a guess as to what precisely was happening, a guess that made keeping her own music away imperative.
"Is that tree anti-magical?"
no subject
"Looks like it just ... melted the snow before it could build up around it." Weird. But hey, on the bright side, it also means he doesn't have anything to worry about, it looks like.
no subject
Curiosity killed &tc., but Ash knew better than to expect an answer. No harm in asking if you were okay with being told 'no'. Sometimes you weren't!
no subject
Lambert glances over at Ash, brows raised. "Thought everyone who risked their neck traveling down to Hell got one of these."
no subject
Then she let out a little laugh. "You know, I don't know why I thought that except just looking at it..."
