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.

"Yup," she said, shifting her hips slightly to agree with the point. "But recording it doesn't fly. The magic's in me, after all. Can't copy that!" She spread her hands with a little wink.

"Yer definitely an original!" he laughs in agreement. "Well, worry about that bridge when it's time ta cross it. For now, I outta make the most of my night in this little stop before somethin' happens. Want me ta drop by later and make sure ya haven't frozen yer ears off?"

"If I did, you'd warm me up, right?" Ash held her coy look for all of a second before she couldn't help but giggle into a hand. "That was corny, I know."

[pipers_son]

"Only if ya ask nicely." An over-exaggerated waggle of his eyebrows, and then he turns away, laughing. "Have a good one, Ash! Or at least a little warmer."

[amusicaladventure]

"Later!" Ash waved after him, briefly considering if she needed to just go El Kabong on him to get the message through. Oh well. Shrugging, she ducked back into her trailer, the better to scrounge up some warmer clothes.
