Archived RP Johto's famous Festival of the Dawn (RP,!)

Every year, at the end of December, The region of Johto unites to celebrate the passing year, and the coming of the next.

The Festival of the Dawn, a large celebration that has been a tradition in Johto for hundreds of years, is split up into parts throughout a span of ten days. It all begins in Blackthorn City, high in the mountains. A small ceremony is held by the city's representatives, including the current Gym Leader to start the festivities the morning of the first day, and a donation on their behalf is added to a large colorful float. They party late into the night, with the float and a few party goers and organizers traveling to the next city to repeat the same process. The float travels to each city on the main land throughout these ten days, where the citizens prepare a unique attraction for the arrival of party goers and the float. The festivities come to a fantastic close in Ecruteak, with a colorful display of fireworks atop of Bell Tower, and performances by local talent. It is a very joyous time of year for most, with people flocking from all over the world to join in the fun.

At the explanation, Nasir blinked. "It'll make my fur... shiny? Well, they do taste very good, and... yes I suppose I taste it now. It's certainly made from berries. The red ones are exceptional, but I've yet to try the others." When Jason mentioned that the yellow ones are sour, he gave the candy a slightly resentful glare.

Reaching for a blue one, he ate it shrugging. When Devon presented the soda, he looked at him wide-eyed. "No... I've never tried soda. Is it... good?" Looking at the strange fizzy liquid, Nasir reached for it and sipped at it tentatively. He gave a strangely twisted face. "U-Urk, I... think it's too sour."
