HOLIDAY HOTPOT MINGLE LOG
WHO: Firoza Istus, Ren Amamiya, and YOU!
WHAT: The results of the Holiday Hotpot player quest - and an open invitation for everyone to gather together and enjoy a hot meal!
WHEN: Monday, December 15th
WHERE: Bottlecap Bay, down on the beach
WARNINGS: I can't think of any, unless hot soup is a warning?
It may be a bit nippy with the wind coming in off the ocean, but the beach is the best place to construct and keep up a few large bonfires, if summer's events were any indication. Three pits have been dug and filled with firewood, and set up with large pots with dividers, full of savoury broth divided into a comforting, creamy concoction and a spicy, sweet surprise - options, after all, are not just a considerate consideration, but necessary!
There's plenty of food to add to these pots - lots of wild mushrooms plucked just before the harsher frosts claimed them, sliced berries, nuts, seeds, various leafy greens still clinging to their color, wild carrots and wild potatoes, seaweed...tofu? There's tofu. Some Pokemon in the Bay must make it and sell their excess, which is very generous of them. And, unless someone decides to surprise everyone with rice, there's bread to soak up all that lovely broth!
Looks like this is something you do together with others - cooking the bounty provided by your fellow otherworlders-turned-Pokemon, that is. The sand is thankfully, somehow, not wet, so you can sit there, wrapped up in your winterwear or a bolt of pressed wool provided for the occasion, watching your delicious meal simmer as you swap stories and laugh and have a good time, perhaps even make new friends with those outside of your assigned guild!
Which is exactly what your hosts, Ren and Firoza, would love for you to do! Don't be shy - come on and join us! There's plenty to go around!
[OOC: if you feel so inclined as to bring something along for the hot pot last minute, go right ahead! The more the merrier!]

I didn't think anywhere inside would be suitable...even if it would be more ideal.
[Fresh air is better for good food anyway!
Also. Here is Firoza, happy to trundle over and see Ingo all loaf'd up. He looks comfy!]
We're very lucky the sand is dry for now. Come tomorrow, that could change.

[ The tunnels are certainly not properly ventilated! The Cheri guild is up in the trees! Ingo's less familiar with Lum Berry housing...but, even so. ]
I've found it rather difficult to control my own well enough for cooking. Heating our quarters is one thing, that does not require much finesse.

I think our best bet is to bestow flames upon the wood and control it that way - even I can do that.
[A shame Alphinaud isn't here to put his impeccable firewood collecting skills to use.]
But either way, your warmth is needed and appreciated, no matter the finesse.
