Christmas Event;; The Mysterious Gift

[Deleted]

Nix looked at the box in both fear and shocked and she sighed, what was she supposed to do to please this thing! She lowered her head into her hands as she sat on her knees before she felt a peck at her knee, wait, peck? She opened her eyes and lifted her head to see a pokemon beside her. What the hell? Shadow let lose a hiss but the little bird thing only hoped over to her and rubbed its face against shadows ear, cheeping softly the whole time. Hang on. Nix turned her head to one side as her mind seemed to work out the whole issue here, she did know this pokemon. It was a common sight on the building around squares but never in this color, and she was sure as blazes that this was not the shiny form of the thing. Well, it seemed nice enough and it seemed to be freindly towards shadow who didnt like most pokemon so that was a good thing. It was only now that nix noticed the bird was holding something, she reached out and took the bit of paper only to find it was a letter. May as well open it. She opened it and read down before the little bird seemed to suddenly remember why it was here and start pulling her towards the door, shadow of course began hissing again but the playful chirps from the bird made her relax a bit. It wasnt doing this to be mean or things like that, it just had something it needed to show nix.

Being dragged down a street by a small purple bird was not normal, and nix was sure she didnt know the shop it brought her to. And she knew all the shops in town! Well, it seemed things were preset for her here. She felt the stone around her neck grow cold as she noted the shopkeeper but he was already up and getting something and now asking for something from her, what did she give? She looked back at the letter only to find a huge amount of cash in it, well that would work. She handed it to the man before taking the bundle and leaving the shop as quickly as she could, she did not want to be in here. She felt so on edge, the stone chilling, she was sure it meant the things she was in danger from were close. And that man had really pale skin, like really dangerously. She shook her head and hurried home, though the cold stone seemed to almost burn in to her skin as she rush back but she needed to focus. She got in the house and quickly pulled in the bird who was fluttering about outside as shadow jumped through the door, this was so nerveracking! She dropped the bundle to the floor and then pulled it apart only to find a dress inside, and nix didnt like dresses. but there was something about this one. It was dark purple in color and the top was wrapped around with glitter and thing like that in the little wraps before it was pinned to one side by a diamond broach and then it fell around the front. Now nix really didnt like dresses, but this she thought was wonderful

[Stryker]

Looking in the box, Stryker found a intriguing stone. I wonder what this is? I suppose I'll keep it on me, like that queer necklace the box gave me. he thought looking down on the blue stone tucked under his carapace. He placed the stone underneath his foot skeleton where a small space was, convenient place to hide something on him. After flying to Victini and back for a human writing translation, he went to a town grudgingly. Why would I come to this weird place. Never, unless my life was depending on it. Which very may be happening. he thought sighing as he entered an out of place store. Something about it felt weird, probably because he has never been inside a human building. Seeing the man tending to the counter, Stryker strolled near. Confused as to how the human could know what he wanted, he handed him the money and left, feeling his necklace grow warm. Noticing how white the man was, Stryker quickly left, thinking that he might have scared him. Flying off, he felt his thing grow hotter, fading as he left the human town. How odd, this stone is. Is it maybe warning me about something? Ghosts? he thought as he returned home. Opening his package, he smiled. It was shining, silver armor, complementing his own color. The helmet fitted greatly on his head, the elegant curves comfortably sat. He looked at it closely, examining the horns jutting out on the top. It had elegant curves, like a  winter sawsbuck's antlers. The chest plate was a light shade of gold and silver, the shoulder plates also had smaller, and similar spikes. The arm armor was simple, needed to be on top of his scythes. Similar color to the rest of the armor. The leg armor looked very comfortable, light and decorative spikes. 
I'm going to rock this 'party' he thought.

The Shadow's Presence; Day Five

What a beautiful Mask. You have never seen accessory so beautiful. You place it gently into a safe place and then quickly go to bed. During your sleep you find yourself in a dream. A very dark dream. Night and shadows everywhere. Shadows that shifted every few seconds. You felt nervous and anxious about the area around you. Something was very different about this dream. Something was very… dark.

As the area around you becomes colder and things begin to shift more quickly, you make the decision its not safe in the place that you are standing and you begin to run. You run so fast that you can hardly understand how fast your running. But you also trip over plenty of things that finds your feet. You run so far that when you see a light you can hardly believe it is so close. You finally reach where the light is brightest and you see that it comes off a large Gem. This one is pure white. It is a light within the darkness and the shadows tend to stay away from it. You walk up to it curious and touch it briefly before waking up suddenly.

You glance at the box which is now black with silver stars on it. Almost as if it actually looks like the night sky above. It makes you feel very nervous about it.

What was the feeling you felt when you walked in the darkness and when you touched the stone, right before you woke up? This will effect your gift.

[Justice]

Justice looks down at the box again as he grabs his item yet again. This time, the item doesn't seem at all what he was expecting. This time, the item is merely a mask that goes along with his outfit. He looks at the color scheme, along with the musical score that is placed on the sides and he wonders if this "Allysandra" knows just how fitting the mask itself is.. He puts both the outfit and the mask away as he decides to go to sleep.

After finally lulling off, Justice begins to have nightmares like before, this time, the dreams are much more intense. Darkness... all of this darkness surrounds Justice like a wave. He begins to run, as the dark has always made the purple-haired boy uneasy. He begins bursting into a sprint, one Justice doesnt even know he is capable of. He moves faster and faster until he can barely tell if the shadows around him are moving on their own, or as a result of his own speed.

At the sight of light, Justice slows down. Now before him stands a beautiful gem. Walking through the darkness, running through it, it gave Justice a sense of hopelessness, but this.. this gem, even before Justice touches it, he can feels the hope regenerate within him. He looks at his own hand as he touches the rock before quickly awaking.

Before getting much chance to think of his dream, Justice looks to his side where the cursed box sits, changed in color again to a pitch black with stars. Budew wakes up too, and as Justice lifts the top of thebox and peers in, so does Budew.

[Sir Geoffrey]

Geoffrey looks at the mask in his hand. Could it be? Geoffrey thinks as he looks to his outfit. Finally! Geoffrey exclaims as he realizes that the object doesn't truly have anything attached to it. Geoffrey tries on the mask for several minutes before deciding to sleep, not wishing to disturb the seemingly happy turn out of today's encounter with the box.

Geoffrey awakens to look upon.. nothing. Geoffrey looks around and all he can see is darkness swirling about. At first, Geoffrey feels very little but surprise, however, after realizing his situationally ruining nightmare is actually a dream in which he is completely conscious. He begins to walk, trying tk get away from the darkness that makes Geoffrey feel as if he stands out, something the humble man wishes not to do.

Soon, Geoffrey cannot stand the darkness anymore, which doesn't occur too long after he enters. He begins walking, but for some reason, it appears that walking makes littly difference, because the entire neighborhood looks like a dark, saddening part of town.

Finally, Geoffrey begins to run as fast as he can to escape the "spotlight" 5that Geoffrey thinks of as the devil. Geoffrey continues moving faster until he can barely tell the difference between people and objects. Finally, Geoffrey reaches a large gem. Geoffrey, for whatever reason feels compelled touch the stone, and, when he does, he feels as if his own existence is being blocked out by the light of the gem, however, before these thoughts can settle, Geoffrey is flung back into the real world.

With a gasp, Geoffrey notices the box has changed yet again, and now, has he goes with the sake process if being afraid before opening, however, Meditite seems to be quietly hoping for Geoffrey to make his action quickly as the purple boy tries in delve quickly into the box, to get it overwith.

Now, Geoffrey looks into the box with hopes even higher than they were days ago.

*going to faintly cover the day before, only a little*

Kari felt her ever snap open and she shot up to a sitting position, her hands were shaking and sweat was running down her face. SHE HATED THIS. Missa and yesterdays ugly pokemon were sitting beside her and she rolled her eyes, now these dreams were getting worse. Of course her eyes were snapped up to the rafters over her head and she spotted the mask from the day before, she had of course gotten this from the box too but this was different. It came with no note or warning or anything dangerous, it came simply she hoped to match her dress from the day. And for once, she found herself actually happy and excited to have a dress, normally they were restricting and annoying but this wasnt. She sighed and dropped back in to her bed behind her, she noted the box had changed once again and she hissed softly. She hated that thing. She awoke to a feeling of not needing to be there and now it was changing which only meant going somewhere new of something else she didnt want, like or need happening!

[Deleted]

Nix was awoken by Zura, her new pokemon, pecking her fingers. The girl turned slowly and looked at the two small pokemon beside her bed and sighed, both looked worried for her sake and nix felt worried too. These dreams were getting worse. Not that she knew why, yesterday had been good. After her wonderful dress came a mask from the box, purple in color and with a wonderful feather that she knew shadow could have played with all day if nix hadnt told her not to. The dreams however scared her, she was already moving to or away from things. Urg, trying to think about it hurt her head. She always forgot her dreams once they were over. She sighed and pushed herself to sit up, she knew the end. She had come to a stone and reached out to touch it and felt safe, the shadows couldnt come near it and being beside it made her safe from them and their touch and the fear they brought with being around her. She turned and found herself wishing for a moment that she felt that safe again, now she felt out in the open and vulnerable. Her pokemon of course were beside her, in both meanings, but she didnt want them to be hurt for something she had had happen to her

[Violet Grimshaw]

Violette looks at the mask in awe, wondering if the accessory was somehow chosen for her dress. Realizing there is little more tondo but rest, Violette takes off her dress and prepares for bed, all the while glancing over her newest item that seems to be made of gold.

When Violette finally goes to sleep, she is greeted by another round of intense nightmares, however, the theme of these dreams have more to do with sheer darkness than the ghosts she is supposed to be hiding from. The darkness that surrounds her.. for some reason, it seems almost familiar.. As if she herself, as a person, is accustomed to the dark..

Nonetheless, the wispy darkness still scares Violette, so she begins to run, faster than she ever had before in this forme.. she moves so quickly, that when the "gem" appears before her , she has to struggle to slow down. Feeling an urge to move forward and touch the gem, she gets closer and, as she approaches, the memory of Geoffrey enters her mind for some reason..

When her hand touches the gem, it feels like something foreign.. yet something soothing, something different.. something that is a change from, well, everything. Before she has a chance to enjoy this strange feeling, she is pulled from the world of dreams back into the world or reality.

Noticing the box which has changed yet again, Violette tries to forget her dream as she reaches for it and opens it, it's dark sky-like colors entrancing her. Growlithe still lies on the floor sleeping, yet it seems he is still somehow watching over her as she once again enters the unknown territory of the box.

[Claire De'Lune]

Claire looks at the mask, and her eyes widen. "Miss Allysandra, you have gorgeous taste!" she exclaims as she hops around the room in her dress and mask. Eventually, Claire grows tired of all this and she prepares for bed, by plopping down on her bed with her dress on.

She falls asleep rather quickly, and she is rather quickly bothered by the bad dream that now inhabits her mind. The darkness bothers her to a point of almost wishing to scream. All of this darkness goes completely against the poor girl's nature and she knows not how to deal with it. So, rather than thinking of something to get rid of the darkness, which she could do if she so needed, she runs, faster than ever before, and when sh does, she feels oh so relieved to come to a gem which disrupts the dark's power.

She quickly rins up to the gem, and she quickly hugs it? Okay, so now that Claire is embracing a dream-world inatimate object, she feels the full effects of it. It's light seems to feel like a part of her own body, and she feels like she is absorbing the goodness that is the light. Before Claire can release her embrace, she awakens, almost strangling her Vanillite.

"Oh, I'm sorry sweety, I was having a bad.. dream.." She says before excmaiming over the new color of the box. She quickly grabs the box and holds it within her small hands and she admires the beauty before once again opening it, as Vanilite struggles to catch her breath..

[Stryker]

As Stryker slept, he dreamed of dark things. Shadows that stalked him like prey, made him see things. As the area began to get colder, he bolted away, sprinting off in the opposite direction of where the cold was coming from. He kept tripping over things, cursing under his breath as he got up and continued to run. The cold to him was a terrible, freezing cold. Until he saw light, a bright, warm light that turned out to be a gem. How beautiful. he thought, forgetting his predicament quickly. He walked up to it and touched it, Feeling a burst of hope, and fearlessness, like he could take on the world. It felt as though the gem gave him great positive energy boosting his moral, before breaking out of his dream. What was that gem? I want to feel it again. And what's with the box? he thought looking at the starry box, hopeful that there would be something great inside.

[fenrirOnHisPhone]

Thi is posted in place oof hilarious because my internet is down due to ice and i can't log in propperly on my phone. Woe light is right this sucks.



Hikari looked around, and saw she was not in the mortal world. WWhere was she? The darkness crowded around her like it was alive. Not willing to ttake her chances being trapped within darkneas, where her powrrs were weakest, she ran. She had found her way out of the avoided outside time, she would make it out of here.



She ran for hours, for days, for weeks, until she felt she could run no farther. That's when she realized there was a light in front of her. Light was her strength and her power, and in a motion that revealed both exaustian and the exultation of someone taking a leap of faith on their final hope, embracing the large ball of light in a last ditch attemptt at survival...



And woke up with a jolt. Emma startled from her pertch oon Hikari's lap, landing on the box, which had once again changed appearance, this time looking llike the night sky. Nervously, hikari slipped out of bed and turned the key, opening the box to find-

Sorry for any misspellings, but my phone is very resistant to error correction. I don't know how light does this every day...

[Odette Nevermore]

Such a lovely mask... Odile thought to herself as she placed it in a safe place. She found she was in a horrible horrible dark dream, what was this place? How could this have happened? She found a light at the very end and found it was a gem.. She felt drawn to the gem... She knew she shouldn't touch it.. That something would happen to her if she did... But she was like a moth to flame... and her hand gracefully felt it... A huge wave of electricity current went through her whole body... What.. what. was this? She fell to her knees not understanding.... Not understanding why this giant gem.. shocked her.. Like she was not accepted.. Like she was not good enough.. She could not help but wonder, was it meant for Odette? The real Odette? Was I rejected because of this?

The she woke up... Turned to see the box in the truest of darken sky colors... how? What why? She found herself getting up and walking toward the box... not understanding how this all came to play out...

[Natu]

Natu practically screamed in happiness at the mask. She even hyperventilated a bit...She went to bed all excited for the next day... Only to have horrible dark dreams.. That ended with her touching a pure white gem... that ended up causing her to see a face.. a face of a cruel character on the site {that the narrator will not be naming} and basically telling her to complete her true journey... Then only have her wake up out of breath.. and well looking at a dark night sky box... She was hesitant to open the box this time.. She partially wanted it to go away...

[Erra]

Erra still did not believe any of this... Though she could not help but smile at the mask, so you want me to wear a fake mask as well.. You evil Goddess.. She went to sleep that night thinking, maybe this time cresselia will leave her alone.. But nope.. Cresselia manipulated her dreams once more.. This time to have a large light gem thing... One that she wanted to touch.. So badly... But she shouted outloud wishing even in her dreams she will not be forced to lie... Lucky for her.. The truth came out.. "I will not touch this! I will not play this game anymore!" But the gem.. there... just sitting... there... in a glory light... She crossed her arms and turned away. "I am not doing this! I am not doing this at ALL!" She began to walk a different direction... But Walls trapped her... She had to.. There was no escape.. She began to cry.. "Why are you so cruel? Don't you have others to pick on? Is it because I know the truth? Is that why? Is it because you cannot erase my true memories? I hate you! I hate you so much!" She began to stomp her feet in frustration, she just wanted this to end. That was her willpower broke.. and she touched the gem....

She woke suddenly to see the box with a starry design... "I love you cresselia.. how not thoughtful you are...." It was back.. The lying... She went to the box..
