[ Alaric ] Oh she was fun~ He couldn't help but wonder who would actually win in a true drawn-out battle of wits between them. He honestly had no predictions, save that it might vary on subject, and that just made him even more interested in trying eventually, and by extension getting her to hang around long enough to try. "N-" He was cut off as she lunged, and he couldn't help but laugh slightly even into the kiss. He tightened his embrace as if he thought she could actually get any closer and returned the kiss in full, pouring out all the passion he could muster. After several minutes, he finally seemed to remember he'd been doing something. A hand ran up the back of her shirt and grabbed at the hem just a bit, but rather than try to start a collection with her clothes (not that that didn't sound mildly amusing), he actually broke the kiss and pulled the shirt down. "Now Highness, I'm not sure that would be appropriate," he teased her horribly, tone entirely too serious and dramatic despite the smirk on his face. "The pirate queen with a new recruit? What would the crew think!"[/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table]

[ Alaric ] ... OH SWEET GOD YES<3 With that remark- both the actual content and the smartass nature- his level of adoration at least tripled. For all he tried to hold back, he couldn't help but laugh a little. This really wasn't too bad, though, considering how much he'd be dying if he wasn't resisting. "Hey, I wouldn't be complaining~!" he chimed, still trying to fight off the laugh a bit. Grinning wickedly, he shrugged and added, "Hell, I would if other people didn't mind."And... Okay yeah he could not just let that pass by. He thought about being nice, but that sounded terribly boring by comparison. Thus, the grin turned to a rather dark smirk as he sat upright a bit, causing her to do the same. "But of course, to be fair.." Letting his hands and eyes both run down and back up her slowly, he went on, "You clearly are, but I don't exactly know just how beautiful the rest of you is-" his eyes locked back on hers; his words were growing deeper and more purring by the word, it seemed- "now do I?"[/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table]

[ Alaric ] Annnnd gold~ She didn't react quite as much as he honestly might have liked, but it was still extremely amusing and earned a deep chuckle from the overgrown child that was Alaric. However, for all that it certainly didn't kill his high, he didn't like that word need. "Oh come now, Majesty," he started in a rather odd tone, somewhat teasing, but otherwise almost cryptic despite the fact he was being quite straight-forward. The hand not holding her bandanna hostage moved to stroke lightly from her hair line down a cheek and finally stopping to cup her chin; during this motion, he asked, deeply and softly, "Why would you want to hide such beauty, even a little?" He tilted her head down then and leaned up to kiss her forehead lightly before just going back to his staring. All the while, the amused grin never left his face. [/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table]

[ Alaric ] Alaric wasn't sure whether to laugh or be a bit embarrassed at her calling him out; in the end, he settled for a somewhat sheepish smirk and a slightly cocked eyebrow. "Eh.." He really didn't think she'd have cared, and went to tease, "But I m--ah!" His 'might', however, was cut short by a gasp at her kiss. For the moment, he seemed temporarily disabled, powerless to fight her with anything more than caressing hands. However, soon enough managed to utter a slightly strained, as if having a little trouble breathing properly, "That's not right..." He pulled her away a bit then, smirking again at her. "I distinctly remember now. We were more here~" And he drew her back in to continue their earlier makeout session. In the meantime, his hands went back to their previous positions, the one in her hair just as sneaky as before. If he could just... slowly.... He should.... Ah-hah! Breaking off the kiss, he breathed out a bit hungrily, "Bianca..." Seconds later, however, that longing look had morphed to pure mischief and mirth as her bandanna, now untied, was quickly snatched off her head and tucked behind his back. Grinning wickedly despite (hell, because of) being fully prepared for a very unpleasant reaction, he teased, "I'm keeping this~" All the same, his eyes rushed to take in the full unobstructed view of her face in the event she didn't allow him to see for long. [/blockquote][/td][/tr][/table]

Our apologies, ma'am. Our Secret Training Methods seem to have been unsuccessful this time. Your Gyarados will be returned. (No refunds.)
Name:Balthazar Species:Gyrados Gender:Male Ability:Intimidate Personality: A very aggressive Pokemon who loves to fight and especially bite. He seems to have a natural distaste for humans, and may lightly attack any aside from his trainer. After realizing what the training she put him into would have done, however, whether she knew so or not, he has even become fairly distrustful of her and is starting to question orders or lash out if talked to during a bad mood. He still likes other Pokemon well enough, however, and loves to swim just for fun.

So guys. If you all recall, Era is bordered by the sea on its west and north sides. To the south is the Orre. To the east-.....?
We haven't a clue! SO~ Ether and I decided a while back a contest sounded good (and saved us effort |D), so I was waiting until there was slightly less going on to start one.
Now, so far all we know is that it borders Era to the east, it does not reach as far north as the northernmost reaches of Era, and it was at least at some point in the past hostile toward Era. The rest is where you come in. |D
There will be three categories, each of which can be won by the same or different people, and each of which has its own prizes.
NAME: Piece of cake. Give potential names for the region/country. Winner will receive $1000.
GEOGRAPHY:
What does the country look like? Must include capital, but other cities are optional. Can be written or drawn; latter will probably draw more attention if done well. Winner will receive $1500 and a random mysterious unevolved Pokemon. KERO BE A GEWD DRAW-ER-ER! 8"D That basic map is still open to minor tweaking and collaborating for details like city placement/names and other points of interest and such, though. :3
HISTORY/STATUS: What is and was the country like? Doesn't have to be too extensive. Too short won't cut it, but too long (like pages on end) would be almost as bad. Mostly we need to know: is/was it a monarcy, known for technology, thriving, struggling, what? Winner will receive $2500 and EITHER a random evolved Pokemon, OR a random unevolved Pokemon and a Rare Candy (nontradeable). |3
You may enter any or all categories as many times as you like. Also, please FEEL FREE to build on other people's ideas; collaboration is awesome. Prizes for collabs will be split, usually with Pokemon going to everyone (less desirable species possible the more people involved though) and prize money being divided, though players may agree on different ways to split. This does NOT mean copy someone's good idea with a minor insiginificant change and expect to be rewarded though. x3; Significant contributers to collabs with be decided at staff discretion. You'll win something if we use your ideas, but if it's half a sentence in the middle of a long history, don't be surprised to get $100. x3
Get to brainstorming for us idea slaves thinking so you can win your prizes beloved members<3

x'3; Doesn't matter where we put it, the contradiction would stay.
We COULD put it out East, but that'd mean minimum of 16 areas everywhere and that's not good for OCD so it'd eventually get up to 20 and---...... .___. Even hundred even hundred even hundred *drones mechanically* even hundred even hundred even hundred<3

Simple game. |3 Post naming one of your characters. Do not double post. Do not name more than one character per post. Do not name other people's characters. Just take turns naming one of yours. You get one free mention for each character. You may purchase more for an individual character for $500, incrementing each time.
This means say a character: 1 Time: Free 2 Times: $500 3 Times: $1000 ($1500 total with previous) 4 Times: $1500 ($3000 total with previous) 5 Times: $2000 ($5000 total with previous)
x3 Not that I see anyone going that high, but 5 is the hard cap.
In the event 12 hours or more passes since your last post, you may double-post once (with a new char or paying for the repeat) to both get in another turn and bump the game.
Some time on the evening of July 15 (possibly into July 16), prizes will be decided by dice at random in the order in which they were said. Tokens and Pokemon will be the most prominent prizes, but a few other things may be thrown about as well.===== GAME ENDED. Prizes on Page 6

So this will be pretty simple. Just post all the characters you have who will compete in the tournament and full info on three Pokemon for each. In three weeks, or once we have at least four different players and at least eight characters, whichever comes first, the tournament will begin. The sign-up will be left up longer, but we'll go ahead and get some of the battles started then.
NOTE: Due to the uncertain total number of competitors, a few characters may have slightly less battles than others. We apologize if this happens, but rest assured we'll do our best to make it as fair as possible.
Once the battles do begin, all six Pokemon in each set will be mixed and redistributed at random between the characters. Alone this doesn't seem too bad, eh? You've got good odds of getting at least some of your own. ... |D However~ >3 You will advance with the team you have upon winning. This means every round brings higher and higher odds of ending up with completely strange Pokemon. In addition, style of battle will be determined at random and may be any of two one-on-one matches with the third Pokemon being used only if a tie-breaker is needed, a double battle using all three eventually, or a triple battle.
Please note that while the player battling with each Pokemon will be allowed to control it fully while it is under their command, all personalities should be kept consistent with the original Pokemon. Failure to comply will result in a few warnings, whether more or less just depending on severity of offense, and may eventually result in the default win of an opponent if warnings are not adhered to.
No, you cannot steal Pokemon like this. Security is extremely tight and the process closely monitored during the tournament. Also, while this may well go on all season, assume that the actual events in-game take place over the course of a single day, so no one has any reason to have your Pokemon outside of the battling here. :3
Participant order will be decided at random in sets at a time. Mods will monitor every battle and damage calculation will be applied to ensure things are fair, so try not to get too elaborate.
===================
All participants who do not place will receive one Token for entering (upon first battle, not just if you sign up and don't show), and another for each win, up to three Tokens if we get enough participants that that still isn't placing.
Quarterfinalists will receive 5 Tokens and choice of a Magby, Sandshrew, Bonsly, Numel, or Rhyhorn.
Semifinalists will receive 7 Tokens and choice of an unevolved Fire starter of any generation, a Trapinch, an Aron, or an Axew.
Second place will receive 9 Tokens and choice of a middle-stage Fire starter of any generation, a Vibrava, a Lairon, or a Fraxure.
The Winner will receive 14 Tokens; choice of a fully evolved Fire starter of any generation, a Flygon, an Aggron, or a Haxorus; AND choice of any unevolved non-legendary (fossils are fair game) Pokemon of either a Summer-themed or Normal type with an alternate color of your choice.
==========================================
|3; If I've missed anything or there are any questions feel free to speak up~

But the South does already have some kind of ruins too... x3; Like I said all of them have pros and cons.. West WOULD really be the best balance but then to have a fire place in the Western WATERS is pretty terrible too. 'x3;;

Exchange the tokens you've won at the festival for fabulous prizes here! (Excluding Special Pokemon, all in the shop have normal odds of being alternate colored, but you won't know until you buy. You may request a non-Special's gender and ability, though mods still choose personality.) Some prizes are changed out periodically, so if you don't see something you like right away, keep checking back! Also, all festivals use the same Tokens, so you can both use any you saved from Spring and save any you don't use now for later seasons. ^__^ [atrb=style,width:400px;text-align:center;,bTable][atrb=border,0,bTable][th][atrb=style,padding:5px;]UNLIMITED POKEMON

Welcome, welcome, one and all, to Era's annual Summer Festival! In place of his cousin, the Duke Akira Naozumi, acting stand-in Duke Nikolai von Einzbern welcomes you to Yukishiro Castle, which will be open to the public all season long for a myriad of exciting games and events! Take a break from the heat and enjoy the comfort of northern summers~ Celebrating the glory of Summer-like Pokemon (Fire, Ground, Rock, and Dragon) this year's primary mascot will be Groudon, while secondary mascots shall be Magmortar, Sandslash, Sudowoodo, and Druddigon. Their likenesses can be seen throughout the festival, and- excluding the primary for obvious reasons- their basic forms will be in the prize exchange all season long~ During these next few months, the courtyard will be transformed into a vast fairground hosting such things as the following: - A Roulette Tournament
Trainers will choose three Pokemon each to be mixed and distributed between them at random for the duration of the battle.
- Summer Appeals Contest.
An appeals-round-only Pokemon Contest exclusive to Summer's types and Normal Pokemon. Prizes will be offered to the best.
- Possibly More?
Last season we didn't have time for all three events scheduled, but it was also the first festival the site actually did. x3 If we get enough interest and admins stay alert, we might find another big thing.
- Token Exchange Store.
Even if you don't win a big contest, the festival has plenty of opportunities to win either tokens or money~ Link Here
- Rides, Games, Food, and More!
Ferris wheels, tea cups, darts games, guessing games, hot dogs, cotton candy, and just about anything else you can imagine~ (Except roller coasters.. Those are just really hard to transport.. We've got the kiddie ones though? :'3)
For the most part, the last bit and general carnival atmosphere is free-play, and you can play your characters winning inconsequential prizes like stuffed animals or anything that isn't a Usable Item (potions, evo items, etc), money, or tokens. :3 However, a few times through the month Staff will post an announced topic with a special game/event/contest which will give out tokens and other prizes. Think of it as a sort of promo, though depending on the details of each topic, there's no solid guarantee of getting free stuff, just a chance. ;P SOMEONE will win something, but it may or may not be everyone. For those who haven't been around for past festivals, Tokens are just another form of currency given for various prizes. This is tracked on a per-character basis, not per-player, and all tokens are non-exchangeable. ^^ You can certainly trade the things you've bought with tokens, but in order to win big prizes they must be accumulated on a single character. ;3 This just puts that little extra challenge in, and prevents people with masses of characters (*coughI'mLookingAtYouMahBirdehcough* x3) from having an advantage over those with less~ Feel free to reply with any questions about the festival. Please let us know here if you're interested in the contest or if you have ideas for a third event as well. The apparent amount of interest will help determine exactly when these events will be held. We hope you enjoy the festival~ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Note: If you had any prizes you still needed to claim from games in past festivals, you may do so here~ Naturally, any older festival threads may still be played out. You simply cannot make new ones for any festival but the current. :3)

Name: Species: Heracross Gender: Male - Straight Ability: Moxie Personality: This Heracross isn't exactly the brightest bug on the tree. He rarely thinks things through thoroughly whether they be actions or words, resulting in him being rather careless and quite insensitive to others. He is slightly hard of hearing, being a bit old, and tends to shout instead of speaking. He is also very paranoid and often has difficulty following logical explanations that require too much of an attention span. As such, he tends to be highly spiritual in both good and bad ways, and he will often be found scared and praying for safety, though who or what he's praying to tends to vary by circumstance. On the bright side, fear of 'demons' and 'monsters' and the like (which includes such things as televisions and cars) are the only things that can get him to stop and think before acting. In battle, he will either rely on time-stalls and distractions to look for a chance to run away if afraid or fight recklessly and without direction if convinced either by his own judgement or his trainer that he is the stronger of the two Pokemon present.

X3 Nitelheim is most likely to be mispronounced but also the one that would be pronounced right if pronounced correctly. xD Because Neet is Neat but in that it would probably become more like Nate (Nathan: << Say what?) for someone trying to read it right. XP
xD And... well... technically the fact half the viewers are gonna try to say "Nite" like night isn't THAT bad I guess.. X3 Since like... it's dark and stuff? x'3
._. Also
I was thinking.. North or South or West? Like... 'x3; All have their pros and cons.

XP Exactly. Random is more realistic than exacts! .3. Though I realized. Nolan is kind of Ether's brainchildthing, so maybe we should just make it the ambiguous birthplace of "many royals" and leave it open as to whether or not Nolan may be included. .3. *nodnod* X3 Also.. This can explain a number of the nobles with ambiguous family deaths. XP Where it's not explained further than "killed by rebels", HUZZAH! X3 RUINS OF NEETLHEIM(*) Neetlheim was once a wealthy and thriving city: the birthplace of many of the royal line and a sort of gathering place for nobles. When not in noble homes or Era Castle, many of their social events were held here. However, it is for this very reason the area now lies in ruins. Some four and a half months after the coup, Rebel forces unleashed masses of Fire Pokemon on the city. However, the fires grew out of control far faster than anticipated, and most of the attackers perished with the residents. As a result, most of the Pokemon became wild, and now wander the ruins along with their descendants and others their presence has attracted. Some earthen Pokemon have taken refuge from the cold here as well, and occasionally ghosts wander, allegedly drawn by the spirits of the deceased.
(* = Neetlheim or Neetelheim? Maybe Neetbelheim? Nitelheim? XP Since I'm sure no one got it in full the reason I told Willow to use this name was combining Nibelheim and Neet, the home towns of Cloud Strife from FF7 and Dart from Legend of Dragoon, both of which were epic games of similar style for the PS1 and both towns being burned to the ground prior to the start of the game. XP)

Hey gaiz, here's a thought:
REBELS. x3
It's more believable to still be in ruins with no rebuilding and Fire Pokemon still around if it was only two years ago, and more believable to have been burned down if clearly very intentional. We could make it the birthplace of Nolan and a once-wealthy town or something to explain why it would've been a target. x3 Thoughts and feedback?
