Voice; Fiddlesticks 24, early-ish morning. (slightly backdated)
Colour me curious, but what are winter festivals or holidays like on your world? Back home, today would be Shiwasu 10, or Tōji -longest night and the start of winter. It's also my birthday, but that's not the important thing; it's not a big number anyway. I don't know what Alola does for Tōji, so I'll tell you what my hometown did.
[The longer she talks, the more homesick she sounds. It likely doesn't help that today's her birthday, but well. Small detail's Eva's willing to overlook.] Masara had the rural traditions of feasting, food making, drinking, games dancing, battles. You know, the normal for a coastal town.
No snowball fights though; we'd have to go to the mountains for that and we never went in the lead up to Tōji because that was bad luck. But, we did have something better: Fire jumping under the stars to bring good luck. You'd start at dusk with it low, little more than a small coal pit so even kids could jump it with supervision, and work up to a boosted jump over a half-drum of flames, though they'd only let the adults do that one.
The day I turned twenty I did so many times mum had to drag me away from it by the ear, but - worth it. So worth it...

to action and forfive the lack of proper images. no-one's done a good realistic mega-blastoise :(
Garden car.
[By the time he gets there, Eva'll be curled up beside Lele, the porygon2 projecting an image beside her. It's of a big tortoise-like creature with a single 'cannon' half poking out of its shell, it's head on Eva's lap.]
how rude of them not to provide us with proper visual aids, unbelievable
Planning to get another one here?
[Fëanor points to the projected image. There seems to be no shortage of weirdness in those creatures. He hesitates to call them animals. For some, the definition seems to be fitting, while for others... less so. He still has difficulty in defining what Lele actually is.]
late, and IKR?
[The mega-blastoise really is, and that hurts more than anything. All she can do is this and gods if her heart doesn't ache for her Starter.]
