canyon biome bonfire event: open (+1 private starter)

[As Carmine rocks up to the Canyon Biome, one could be forgiven for easily mistaking the girl as calm as can be. The ever present neutral face that almost looks like a scowl is there, though the second someone sees her, she puts on a smile like nothing is wrong. The ways her nervousness are expressed are through the worrying at her sleeves, fidgeting and adjusting them almost constantly as she keeps trying to psyche herself up.

But at least for the party, Carmine is pretty cordial. If you call 'taking personal offense to any wallflowers' cordial, then Carmine is the very picture of it! ...Speaking of, if you happen to be wallflowering without perfectly good seeming reason, Carmine is going to go over--]

"Hey, come on. What's with this? Don't tell me you're nervous to be at a party or something?"

[Of course, Carmine is going to be out and mingling about too--checking in with people, doing anything she can to keep herself occupied, so if you happen to see her? Feel free to flag her down for conversation, she'll gladly oblige.]

for @elite-amarys

[She's so nervous. She's so damn nervous. But if she keeps worrying the entire night away, what else is she going to do?

It takes a bit for Carmine to work up her gumption, after being a social butterfly of course. She breathes deep, centering herself (just as her anger management therapist has told her, again and again--) before going over to where Amarys is and flagging her best friend down.

...Yes, she may have been waiting for the song she picked out on the playlist to come on SHUT UP--]

"Amarys! You've gone and outdone yourself tonight, look at all of this! Everyone looks like they're having an amazing time." Carmine's grin is bright, though slightly nervous--likely in a way only Amarys can tell. "Don't suppose I could spirit you away for just a little bit...?"

Canyon Biome Bonfire: Open Starter

Amarys is not an extrovert by nature. Planning the event had been an enjoyable challenge, with so many small details that go into executing a large event she found herself thriving in ensuring every small need was met. She had developed multiple checklists and processes so that she could ensure that every permit, event announcement, supply, safety precaution, wildlife consultation, and logistical concern was addressed.

Socializing at the event itself, however, is less thrilling than it is exhausting. She is still enjoying herself, but interacting with so many people in such quick succession had her drained. So it was that she was taking a brief break by one of the fires.

Thankfully, she is quite skilled at detecting exactly when she needs to step away to recharge, so it didn't take much more than a quick, quiet moment of staring into the fire and listening idly to the sounds around her for her to regain her energy. With a quick huff, she brings herself back to the present and flicks her eyes away from the fire, looking for someone she has not yet greeted.

Stand in a corner and muster up courage ig 👍

Canyon Biome Bonfire: open post

The young trainer was happily running about, interacting with as many others as possible. She thrives in these kind of socialization events. She was definitely having a great time. Nothing but big smiles and friendly interactions from her!

Though, some people would be intimidated, mostly due to her pokémon she had out. Well, she shouldn't be surprised by that. Two of her teammates were Pokémon people barely even heard about. They were most likely just nervous since they didn't know the Pokémon. They've always been sweet Pokémon to her.

Mewtwo stuck close to the trainer. While he has gotten used to being around humans, this event was something he'd rather stick to being around those he's familiar with. Badbeard, on the other hand would roll onto his back any time they were up to someone new in hopes of getting bellyrubs.

Wisteria was now happily sitting down by the fire with her whole team. She was making s'mores. Or at least she was trying. She... was burning her marshmallow. But she didn't seem to mind much.

"... Here you go, Frye! Just the way you like it!" She offers the burnt marshmallow to the Talonflame. She chirped, and happily munched on the treat. The young trainer puts another marshmallow on the stick.

Okay... She can do it this time. She definitely won't burn this one!

Canyon Biome Bonfire: Open Starter

Kieran sits on one of the stumps near the fires, having tried his best to have picked a less crowded spot. There are a lot more people here than he expected... It's almost a bit nerve wracking. He sighs, petting the Furret curled in his lap.

It carefully watches everyone, hoping that its presence won't bother any of them. It's painfully aware of how people avoid it. Of how nervous some of them act around it. It guesses that's to be expected of the champion, though. That people will be intimidated. The elite four are one thing, but is it really allowed to be here? It can't help but feel like it doesn't belong. Not as if that's anything new, though. It's never seemed to belong anywhere.

He shakes his head, trying to dismiss the thought. None of that is important right now. He doesn't have to worry about any of that tonight. Just one night. Arceus knows he needs it. He gently hands his Furret a s'more, giving a small smile as he listens to his friend's excited chattering.

@ canyon biome bonfire night: open post

[Ren smiles as the last of the party is set up, stretching out their limbs a bit. It's all perfect. Lulu's there to help anyone with mobility issues get up the mountain, and he's doing a pretty darn good job helping if they say so themself. For the most part Ren seems content to just wander around, Coriander the Ferrothorn following close behind. They're mostly here to help others if they need it, so feel free to bug them for that.

Of course, when they have time to themself, they can be seen on their phone and seemingly taking pictures meticulously, though any they plan to post on social media will definitely have faces blurred out for privacy. Their Ferrothorn and Orthworm are curled up near them, and they seem perfectly content...

But if you happen to come up to them, Ren will wave enthusiastically and perk up!]

"Hiya! You comin' to get some air from all the partyin' too?"

[of course, they'll also just be on their phone and video chatting people too, if anyone wants to bug them on that end. feel free!]

open RP starter - canyon biome bonfire

Other-Amarys walks back to her room, frustration clinging to her like water to glass, and sighs. Today was... a lot. Most pressingly, the trial-goer she had been attending to had the gall to steal the rest of her flight supplement, though he didn't know how to store it and she assumed it would spoil and be little more than bitter grey liquid by the time he realized that fact. She has the recipe and could make more, but it would be tedious and frustrating, and she'd have to redo her entire weekly schedule to make the time for it. She checks her pocketwatch, smiles, and opens her Rotom phone to initiate a trade with her double. Hopefully things were going better on the other end.

Once her Skarmory is confirmed to be in the other Terarium, she initiates the Synchro machine, and the world goes black. She opens her eyes a second later lower to the ground, her Skarmory and her now sharing a mind. Back! Back! Hello! Party! it chirps at her mentally, and she smiles. Time to introduce herself! She leaves this world's Amarys be and walks off towards the bonfire. Hopefully people wouldn't be put off by her... Skarmorishness.

[teracandymaker]

thank the dragons for the taxi service! it's just a walk from here to the bonfire.

[glimwood-strangle]

Made my choice

Now I am so so very lost..

[elite-amarys]

I am sorry to have spent so little time with you. I am glad you were able to enjoy yourself, hopefully there will be a chance for us to spend more time together in person at the next occasion.

I had to leave a bit early to catch a flight out of the academy, but I had a complete blast today!

I made up and apologized to a lot of people, but more importantly I actually enjoyed myself! It's been a long while since I've experienced that.

Thank you to everyone who I got to hang out with, and thank you to everyone who set it up and organized it! I truly enjoyed it! :D

[nelson-and-friends]

I'm gonna be bringing my flute to the Canyon Biome Bonfire! Anyone going should bring an instrument too! Music is better enjoyed with friends!

[elite-amarys]

Greetings, bonfire participants. Please behold.

<A video is attached. We see Amarys standing back from the camera, one hand stiffly at her side and the other holding up a Heavy Ball. She gives a curt nod to the camera.

“Time to alternate Amarys Syncho-Machine arrival: 5…4…3…2…1.”

Upon finishing her countdown, the Heavy Ball bursts open and out pops a Skarmory. The Skarmory looks around for a moment, then spots Amarys, looks up at her, and speaks.

“Greetings. It seems our theory was correct.”

Amarys’ eyes widen somewhat, it seems she was not certain about this outcome. She quickly reels in her reaction, however. She does a small applause to communicate her delight.

“Wonderful, welcome to this reality, Amarys. We will have to share this discovery with the Science Club as soon as possible. In the meantime, please do enjoy the bonfire.”

End video ID.>

@right-on-schedule and I were able to make a discovery. By utilizing Rotumblr’s connection with the multiverse, she was able to send her Skarmory to me in my universe. Then, with the assistance of the Synchro Machine, she was able to send her consciousness to the transferred Skarmory, thus effectively transferring her consciousness to a new reality. Truly a remarkable discovery, to be able to transfer a consciousness to a new reality via our pokemon. I am very pleased we came up with this, and I hope you will all treat her with hospitality and respect during her time at our bonfire.

[blueberry-gills]

Well! This has been really fun, but I think I'm going to return to my dorm. (Reason: I am very sleepy) Thank you so much Amarys for organizing this event! And thank you to everyone I managed to talk to tonight- you all were wonderful! <3

Now here's hoping I don't fall asleep in a hallway or something!! Good night! 👍

[wisteria-violet]

Woohoo! Made it! Let's have some fun, everyone!

[She has sent out her entire pokémon party.]

7 Games Research

Crossy Road

Crossy Road is an isometric scroller in which you play as a multitude of characters starting as a chicken. The objective of the game is to get as far as possible while avoiding obstacles such as train crossings, roads, rivers and collect as many coins as possible along the way. Characters are unlocked from a gacha like system in which you spend your coins that you've collected (usually 100) in exchange for a new character. Mostly purely cosmetic however.

Minecraft

Minecraft is an open world exploration survival game, there is a set goal to follow, however you can take as long as you like and will not be ushered, and can play after completing said goal (fighting the ender-dragon). There are three dimensions and to get into the End dimension you must first visit the nether to gain the correct resources, to access the nether you must gain necessary resources in the overworld first. You can also play the game without beating the objective at all, as this also counts as a sandbox meaning you can build to your hearts content in an almost infinite sprawling world with interesting biomes.

Teardown

Teardown is a career based - sandbox game in which you navigate fully voxel based scenes, that are entirely destructable with realistic physics. As voxel games go, this game is extremely revolutional in its destruction, everything behaves as you'd expect it to and you have a multitude of tools including for example the hammer, flamethrower and bomb. Fire physics are incredible for being voxel based, and as expected, smoke physics are aswell incredible.

Skies of the past

Skies of the past is once again voxel based, but leans more into an adventure game. It's built from the ground up to be a relaxing experience in which you navigate floating islands and their ruins from an ancient civilisation in which everybody forgot about. It's vastly open world and you can use a hot air balloon or an aircraft to move about the map, there are no set specific targets, just mainly exploration.

Fugl

Fugl is also an open world exploration adventure game built in voxel in which you play as a bird, exploring from canyon crevasses to rolling hills and plains, the sound design immerses you, adding a slight hint of reverb to most sounds to make the whole world feel larger and more empty. One thing that draws me to this game is the procedural voxel cloud design - just a small feature that I thought was rather neat.

The Touryst

The Touryst is an action-adventure game based around a 5 hour long story to keep the player busy, it features solving platforming puzzles and exploring mysterious ruins, capturing the feeling of stumbling onto an adventure when for example on holiday, I suppose this game could also class as a platformer in the sense of some of the puzzles, and of course, this game is once again a voxel game - starting to see a theme here.

Bonfire Peaks

Bonfire Peaks is also a puzzle game, specifically built around closure. You navigate hand crafted voxel based worlds telling a slight story along the way - the puzzles are built in a very sturdy fashion and can be quite challenging at times to complete, the protagonist - an unnamed man - is a mute character and the purpose of the game is to burn his belongings to reach the aforementioned closure.
