Abbadons' Gilded Gala Event!

Hello! Eve-of-Halloween here hosting my first-ever community event in celebration of reaching 200 followers! This event will have story/plot significance for sinnohsiblings! Event Dates: 8/31/23 - 10/1/23 What Is this event? Lord Abbadon is hosting a formal ball in his grand palace on the peak of Mount Coronet, and all are invited! Formal attire is required and Legendaries are highly encouraged to join and socialize with their fellow legends of other worlds. Abbadon has extended this invitation across the multiverse. Some rumors say he's playing matchmaker, others say it's an excuse to see his wife but who knows! Who can attend? ANYONE in the Pokemon Askblog community! If your character is capable of shapeshifting they are heavily encouraged to come disguised as humans. If your character is unable to transform Lord Abbadon has commissioned special rings for any non-legendary guest in attendance to grant them the ability to transform if they so desire. You are allowed to bring a plus one but if you bring children there will be a separate area to provide them with games and entertainment as the adult attendees' refreshment table will serve adult beverages such as wines. Children will not be permitted in that area. But food and non-alcoholic drinks will also be provided for all guests. What should I wear?

Anything formal by your character's standards! So long as your character feels good in what they are wearing it will be permitted. But you should dress to impress given the guests of honor. This Gala is basically an overly formal version of a meet-and-greet to get his children to socialize with other Pokemon and legends as they've become far too reclusive for his liking. Examples of outfits can be seen here with Galadriel, Zephyr and Parisa!

How do I participate?

Feel free to interact with other guests/blogs and the cast of this blog. The purpose of this event is to get people to socialize and maybe get out of their shells! Rumor has it that the god of love is a special guest attending at Lord Abbadon's request to work her magic~! So keep an eye out for her! Lady Amore will be playing Cupid and may temporarily hit you with a 3-ask infatuation spell! (This is an optional part of the event see the tags section for how to consent to this event) For those who participate at the end of the event, I will be raffling 2 legendary designs! One of the designs is the daughter of the god of love herself! Perhaps this is her token of apology for all the chaos she is bound to cause~! But beware if you are caught causing too much of a ruckus or entering the off-limits areas the Lycan legion guards of on-duty Zacian and Zamazenta will toss you off the mountain top!

What are the tags for the event? #SINSIBGALA (this is the general event tag! all posts pertaining to the event will be reblogged to @eohblogsrp)

#cursedcrush (use this tag on your post if you want a chance to be hit by Amore's 3 ask love curse! If hit you will become infatuated with the first pokemon you see for 3 asks. it will wear off after that and you will remember that it was the effect of a curse. Blogs who do not have this tag on their event posts will not be targeted.)

When the event starts I will also make a post with a map of Abbadon's palace and several backgrounds that you are free to use for the event! Thank all of you so much for your support and I look forward to more stories to come!

*Felix had to think for a moment about what Reshi had said. Destino was one to take things a little too far sometimes. However, the sight of her made it difficult to even consider them a priority. Felix just wanted to look into her eyes all day. Those gorgeous, watercolour eyes. She truly was a delightful sight to look at. He had to respond. He couldn’t let a beautiful woman like this wait for him. He could feel his cheeks blushing harder.*

Felix: Sorry, ya beauty is truly distracting. Ya really are just so gorgeous. I really mean that. But… I can see where ya comin’ from. Perhaps I should have a word with ‘em. Maybe. But, I don’t really wanna be responsible for them all the time, ya know? Maybe I can get ya a drink or somethin’ ta help ya forget all about ‘em?

*From the corner of Felix’s eye, he noticed a figure emerging through the crowd, sauntering towards him. Those sunglasses and white hair instantly gave away who it was. It was odd but Felix felt incredibly protective all of a sudden. He shouldn’t feel like that around his friend but something was telling him to not let his guard down. Destino casually approached, resting their arm on Felix.*

Destino: Of course you do. And I’m saying that she isn’t good enough for you. Come on buddy. I know you. Known you for years at this point. I know what you like. And she isn’t on that list. She wouldn’t even be top 50. Just look at her. Disgusting.

*Felix’s feelings were strong for this beautiful woman. He used to not believe in love at first sight but he couldn’t deny what his heart was telling him. He loved this woman and wanted to protect her from Destino.*

Felix: Well, ya clearly don’t know me. She’s one of the most gorgeous woman I’ve ever seen and, for once, I don’t like the fact that ya ain’t being nice to someone I like. No, I’m gonna say love. Someone I love.

*That end part stung like a swarm of beedrill. Love? No, whatever had infected Felix was strong. He wasn’t usually like this. Then again, the Pokémon had never shown any signs of infatuation towards anyone else before. How was Destino supposed to know when he loved someone? They had to snap Felix out of this, somehow. Time to bring out the old Destino special.*

Destino: So, you mean to tell me that this woman who wears curtains for an outfit has captured your heart? This woman who has some of the most disgusting hair I have ever seen and shouldn’t even consider herself a legendary Pokémon because she seems rather basic to me. My friend, you have a shit taste in women. At least choose someone who has a semblance of a sense of style. Come on buddy. You’re lying to yourself.

*Felix's tolerance for Destino's verbal insults had dropped. He could feel an anger flare up inside of him. His face turned hotter, teeth clenched together and his hand curled up into a fist.*

*Destino stumbled back from the impact, sunglasses flying off their face. That was unexpected from Felix. How dare he touch their face like that?! Destino had to stop for a moment. They touched the spot where the hit had landed and pain flared up. Destino’s hand flinched away. That was going to leave a mark. Destino wanted to get angry at Felix. Show their friend that he had no right to touch the Prime of the Underdark's face. They did it with Snow. So what was holding them back from lunging at Felix?

Felix breathed heavily. The gorgeous woman wanted Destino to learn their lesson. Felix figured this would be the best way for it to happen. He'd never punched Destino before. He could see Destino tentatively touch their face. How would Destino react? Felix had to make things clear for his friend.*

Felix: I ain’t gonna have this from you. Ya constant insults. I find someone I like and, as my friend, ya don’t show any support for me? I don't need ya approval about who I can love and who I can't. I don't care about ya shitty opinions. Why do ya even care so much in the first place?

*That was a very good question. Why did Destino care so much? They supposed it was because they just wanted the best for their friend. But something deeper told them that it was more than that. But they still couldn't pinpoint what that was. It seemed Felix wasn't going to back down from his defensive nature. Looking away, Destino felt frustrated. They felt uncharacteristically sad. Sad. Why were they sad? Destino didn’t understand. They were so confused as to how they were supposed to be feeling. They weren't going to respond with their usual demonstration of proving they were the Prime and should be listen to.*

*Destino picked up the sunglasses that had fallen to the ground, placed them back on and brushed themselves off. Destino began to slowly walk away, hand holding their cheek. The pain of their cheek stung, but not as much as what Felix had said. They had to get away. Destino walked towards the outside area. Perhaps the cool night air could cool off these emotions.

No anger? No dominance displays? Not even a slight mention of being the Prime? That was different. Felix watched as his friend quietly walked away from the situation. He hoped what he had done did not draw to much attention to the both of them. He sighed.*

Felix: I'm sorry ya had ta see that. Things got a little heated there. I just couldn't let Destino insult ya like that. I'm hopin' they're off thinking about what I'd said. I'm sorry ya had ta get caught up in all of this. Please, let me get ya a drink or somethin’.

It’s been a long while since I went to a fancy party. I’m getting quite excited~!

[Inari has entered the gala! Details of their outfit under the cut.]

[shimmeringtidepools]

The tall mountain stood proud, a familiar sight to the pair walking from the rift made by their father. The key difference between the one they knew and this, was the clear and distinct temple that stood at the too, crafted immaculately for this world’s Arceus and the family he loved.

The man snickered. How quaint.

“I can send you home just as quickly as we came.” snapped the woman, a pointed glare towards him that only made his amusement grow.

“You promised.” He clicked his tounge at her remark. “I promised I would be on my best behavior, I never stared what my best was now did I.” His voice deep and velvety smooth held amusement in it. “Come now dear sister, we are here to attend a ball correct?”

Her eyes watched as he ascended the steps to the gala, shadows whipping about his form until he was dressed in something more suitable for a formal event. She was simply glad he was able to maintain this look rather than his true form. She soon followed suit, her own form shimmering until she worse something equally as fitting.

“Just know that I won’t hesitate to tell Father if you act out.” She hissed. “We are here to find a potential anomaly, not for pleasure.”

“Please. The Almighty Sinnoh cannot do anything worse that what he has already. You don’t know the half of it.”

A lump formed in her throat at the thought. As the approached the large doors, he offered her his arm. “Shall we?”

She found herself hesitating, before taking his arm. “Just make sure no men hit on me without my authority.”

“I wouldn’t dream of it.”

Palkia and Giratina have arrived at the Gala!

[flying-type-teacher]

Dressed and ready to impress!

Though they might be comparing themselves to royals and legendaries

[askfatesguardian]

"Thank you again for allowing me to attend, Mother. The Forest will be well protected while I'm gone." The large Ninetails huffed, many tails whispering against each other as they swayed lazily. She looked unamused, but her shoulders shrugged all the same. "In truth it is simply so that I would not need attend myself. The kits need my attention. So go and behave yourself. Others of our superior blood shall be there. Do not make a fool of yourself in my name." Kreilanna rolled her eyes - not where Mother could see of course - and smiled to herself. "I won't. I'll be back at the end of the gathering!" She wasted no time in borrowing Mother's power to whisk her away to the venue, heart in her throat as she smoothed down her gown. Normally being dressed so well was nothing new. This time, however, she was wearing the strange ring that had been offered. What an experience!

"Finally... I can enjoy myself!"

<<Kreilanna is attending the Gala!>>

You are partying at Abadon’s gala- said to be possibly the biggest event of the year, especially for Legendaries and Mythicals. You are wondering what kinds you’ll see tonight when two new Pokémon enter the ballroom.

It seems no one reacts, or even notices their entrance- except for you. Something about this duo of strangers intrigues you- you feel numerous questions and ice breakers on the tip of your tongue.

Will you approach them?

[saguaropokevariants]

(@ask-the-shiny-pokemons) Noelle @ Charcoal: "Hey! The place is indeed big." she says with a little nervous smile. "Oh, I need to introduce myself. I'm Noelle, what's yours? Also, is this your child?"

Charcoal: Ah... Am... Charcoal. And... little one is... Egg. Egg: Eee!! Charcoal: Egg is... adopted, but yes. my child. Is very good child.

Charcoal: Oh... Ah... Yes, thank you... Am... very nervous. So many... Legendary Pokémon. But... is nice. Egg is... happy, so... Will try... not to be so nervous. Egg is... Riolu. Can sense me. So gotta be... brave for Egg.

"Just makin' sure. I know you don't like people seeing them much.."

"I think I will be okay for tonight..."

TOASTY AND ARTORIAS HAVE ARRIVED TO THE GALA AND ARE OPEN FOR ASKS!

Toasty's Gala Reference (Gold Tux)

Artorias' Gala Reference (Military Blues)

It seems Venus has finally gotten around, and arrived at the Gala. Though it appears she is not alone. Accompanying her is an odly dressed... Human... Venus looks around at all the others at the event, and let's out a little squeal of joy. But remains at a whisper.

"Oh, look at this Miriam! Isn't this wonderful? Look at all these people"

"Yeah, sure.. But if your going to make me, come with you to some fancy smancy event- Can you at least give me something decent to wear? I kind of feel underdressed, for once in my life, compared to some of these peopele"

"Sorry, I never really become human.. So these were the only outfits I basically had to wear, hehe.."

"Of course... If you need me, I'll be walking around the refreshment table for some high quality champagne, while trying not to make eye contact or small talk with anyone... Chow~"

"Uhg.. She can't even at least try to talk to one person..."

Venus & Miriam have arrived at the Gala, and are now open for Asks!

*The Giratina approaches Galadriel, bowing before her.* Giratina: Hello there. It is a pleasure to meet another like myself. If I may be so forward, your beauty is something to truly behold. I'm sure you have many lined up to be your next suitor. I'm not here for that side of things however, even though nobody could compare to your gorgeous looks. I just wanted to say my thanks. I am aware you met my universe's little comedian. Destino. The way you straight up ate them. That was hilarious! 10/10 performance. I was cackling. I don't think they'll want to approach you again. Have you had many mortals you've had to deal with in such a way?

Galadriel: "I suppose I should be relieved to see you found humor in that event. My older sister was so sure it would lead to trouble. Good to see that is not the case."

Galadriel: "Also I'd be careful with the flattery you might actually fool someone with that. But thank you for the compliments."

Galadriel: "But on the topic of the line of suitors...you're joking right? Not a single suitor has approached me in over 250 years. And my father has not informed me that any men have asked him for his blessing to approach me as a suitor. And I seriously doubt he's lied about that."

Galadriel: "Such is the fate of our kind though. Our kind gets labeled the worst of the worst. For the best, I suppose...though part of me does wish someone did approach me in such a manner."

Galadriel: "Except for your little pet! If they tried I'd throw them into the nearest star."

Abbadons ask hints have updated

[sinnohsiblings]

OH NO WHATS THIS?! The soft peck of an Enamorous kiss! Not even a man of such zeal can resist this kind of appeal! Up and down, round and round, the curse takes hold of Galadriel's favorite Hound! Zephyr has been crush cursed for 3 asks!

Suddenly local goodest boi feels very lightheaded! There must be something in the air!

Zephyr is cursed for 3 asks! Who will be the lucky/unlucky guest to catch his gaze.

[sinnohsiblings]

(Life-of-kalos) Leo is walking by when he notices Galadriel. "Hm? Why does she look familiar...?" He ponders a moment before realizing who she was. "OH ITS DUKIES TWIN!" He flails his arms in the air to get her attention. "HEY LADY!" With a large grin on his face he strides over to her side. "Hey hey, I met your dad. He and Duke were chatting so I decided to get some grub. Ya know? Who would've THOUGHT I'd see you again? I mean, this place is HUGE. How do you find anything in here?" He chatters on before finally noticing that she looks unwell. "Oh man, are you okay? You look like you're burning up. Should I get you some ice or something? Maybe you should go lay down and get some rest."

Galadriel: "That's if you'd be happy to join me~"

Crush curse? OH NO Galadriel's existing infatuation toward the solgaleo has escalated the curse into a love curse! A far more powerful version of the crush curse!

(1/3)

[sinnohsiblings]

(askfatesguardian) Kreilanna @ Galadriel: "I wanted to ask... what made you all consider taking human form? I've seen other Legends outside of this event do so and wondered what the draw is..." She tilted her head as her words trailed off, looking up to the woman worriedly. Abandoning her question, she asked, "Are you alright? You seem unwell."

Galadriel has come to her senses and in complete embarrassment of her behavior has run away. She is completely overwhelmed by shame, guilt, and the fact she invaded Leo's personal bubble the way she did. How awful! This night couldn't get worse!

(3/3) Galadriel is no longer cursed

Leo belongs to @life-of-kalos

[sinnohsiblings]

( Life-of-kalos lady yveltal @ Zephyr) "Oh my, it seems you've already had too many and the party has only begun." She chuckles as she sits down next to Zephyr. "What do you say we go get something to eat? It'll help you sober up some. You don't want to get blackout drunk so soon."

Zephyr: "Don't worry about it! I am still very much sober. I do apologize if I may be conducting myself in a way that would make a lord of death concerned. An embarrassing level of unprofessionalism on my case!"

Zephyr appears to be having a hard time making/keeping direct eye contact with the Yveltal.

*On a fairly normal day in the depth of the multiverse, a Giratina observed the other Gods, paying close attention to their conversations. He was drawn, in particular, to the event known as a Gala. He knew very well that he would not be allowed to go. His father would not allow for that to happen. And so, he decided that, in order to entertain himself, he would send his favourite little pest out to go cause a little chaos. He was fond of this Pokémon. He modelled this one to have similar emotions to himself and found it hilarious to see what this little mortal could come up with.

Beaming the knowledge into this mortal’s head of the event and how to use their powers to fit in would be easy. He could easily convince that brother of his to warp reality, make the events exist outside of the current timeline and then change it back to normal before his other brother or even his father found out. Just a simple event for his entertainment for a short period of time. That’s all. It would barely effect the current events that were supposed to play out.

*Earth*

Ya ain’t leavin’ without me, pal!

*Felix the Gengar awkwardly stumbled out. He never used his legs for walking and these were just so long compared to his. Destino, looking as confident as ever, scanned Felix. After finding Felix to be satisfactory to go to this event with, they gave a nod before starting to walk off to head to this event. A dark, swirling portal appeared which Destino somehow knew would take them and their friend to the event in question.

Destino’s parents had hosted a few formal events before so they knew roughly what it would be like. Felix, on the other hand, had no idea what he was getting himself into. Stepping through the portal, they ended up fairly close by. They could see the building on the horizon. Felix did a few practice steps with his new form until he became more comfortable with moving in it.*

*Soon, they entered the building. Looking around, Destino could see the gorgeous design of the interior and was actually quite impressed. Of course, they would never admit that to the owner of the building but they were certainly feeling inspire about what changes they could make to the castle back at home when they eventually became monarch. Felix was feeling quite intimidated by it all. This wasn’t his scene at all. All these fancy decorations made him uncomfortable. He was doing this for Destino though. He was quite surprised when Destino asked him to join.

The duo made their way towards the dance hall. Destino figured this would be a good place to find easy targets for them to mess with.*

Pal, remember that conversation we had about choosin’ good targets? If ya gonna throw that out the window, could ya at least show some restrain here? I don’t wanna find out ya been kicked out and I have ta find ya.

I won’t get kicked out. Trust me. I will be on my best behaviour. You’ll barely notice I’m here. I’m just here to have a good time. It’s like you have no faith in me. What kind of a friend doesn’t trust their dear friend who they’ve known for years? You wound me with your comments!

*Felix sensed the sarcasm oozing in that comment and sighed. He supposed that he would have to trust Destino not to take it too far. He usually found Destino’s comments funny. But, their recent remarks around strong Pokémon left Felix feeling uneasy. He didn’t want his dear friend to actually get hurt by one of these Pokémon because of Destino making a silly mistake.*

Destino and Felix have arrived and are available for asks.
