Stargazers - Frosty Festivities part 1

Description


      The room for the ice sculpting event is large with a dome ceiling. Gillegan stops once he gets to the room and scans it for his partner. Where’d he get to? There were a couple teams here and there. Teams from all three guilds, probably all discussing what they were going to sculpt, who’d win, and who the best guild was. Finally Gillegan spots the light orange lizard right next to a block of ice.

      “Hey, Mango. What’s up? You seemed a lit-“ Again he was interrupted.

      “What do you think it should be?” Mango says, staring intently at the block of ice, seeming to carve it out in his mind. He holds his one claw up in an intelligent gesture. Maybe he was coming up with a good idea; a beautiful sculpture that would wow the judges. “Ooooh! It should be food related!” Of course.

      Gillegan lets out a sigh. “Right.”

      “How about a scone? Pecha berry? Cotton candy? Or maybe a- Oh, I got it!” Mango chirps with a snap of his fingers and a flick of his tail. “A pinap berry!”

      “A pinap berry?” Gillegan questions, folding his arms.

      “Yes!”

      “Okay then…”

     Just then the leader of the Explorer’s Guild, Luke, speaks up, “Alright everyone! The ice sculpting event is about to begin! Start to carve out your ice and then show it to the judges when finished! You’re score will be shown at the end of the day!” His voice seems to amplify, bouncing off the curved ceiling. “Okay mates, get to it! You have 20 minutes!”

     At first Gillegan and Mango stare blankly at each other, but then see as the other teams go up to their ice block and begin to chip away at them. Getting the notion that they’re starting, the Marshtomp hurries up to the ice block. It was about his height. “I’ll add ice wherever you need it. You chip away.”

     “Gotcha Gilly!” Mango goes up to the ice block and starts to shave some off of it with a swift Brick Break. He starts off good, but hits the block a little too hard and creates a crack in the ice. “Whoops.”

     “Not so hard!” Gillegan shouts, shooting an ice beam to seal it back up. Mango starts again, trying to shape the block into what he wanted. The Marshtomp looks to the left and right of them, seeing two other teams. In one team a Charmeleon chips away at their ice chunk with her long, sharp claws while her Riolu partner cheers her on and directs what to do. In the other team a lone Mismagius tries to shape the ice with her abilities. Both are managing to shape their’s faster and smoother.

    After the time was up, Mango and Gillegan had managed to make a fairly good pinap sculpture, the Mismagius made an elegant ice Swana, and the Charmeleon and Riolu crew made an icy fireball. All around them the other teams were finishing up with either smooth and well-sculpted figures or choppy and frothy carvings.

    “It’s so... so...” Mango begins, gazing at his work. “Perfect!” Mango clapped his hands together and looked at his pinap sculpture with great approval. “It looks so… so good too.” Mango’s tongue flicks out and he steps forward towards the icy fruit as if in a trance.

    “Mango! What are you doing?” His partner questions, but before he can stop him, the lizard licks the sculpture and gets stuck.

    He snaps out of his trance. “Wha?” Mango blinks a few times

    “Mango…” Gillegan sighs, placing a hand on his forehead.

    “Hey, wha? I’m stuth!” The Kecleon says, tugging on his tongue.

    “No duh.”

    To the side of them the Charmeleon gives the lizard a look and a huff of irritation. Her Riolu partner stands beside her, her eyes dancing as she covers her mouth, stifling a laugh. On the other side, the Mismagius simply watches, waiting as the judges come around.

    “Heheh… Yah well, I… dit thith on purpoth.” Mango covers up, putting a hand on the icy block and leaning on it. However he doesn’t get a good grip on the slippery surface and falls, his chin slamming on the ground. He lets out a short surprised cry. “I’m fine.” He states as he tries to get back up again. The Riolu next to them bursts out laughing as if she can’t help herself and the Charmeleon just mutters something and looks away.

    “Mango you really should be more careful…” Gillegan says as a group of three judges come around, looking at their team’s and others’ ice statues. They write something down on their notepads and then walk away, some glancing at the goofy Kecleon with his tongue stuck to his own ice sculpture. Gillegan looks to Mango again after the threesome left. “The next event starts pretty soon. You mind if I go?  You might be stuck here for awhile.” He asks, his eyes showing his anticipation for the next event.

    “Thure. I’ll juth be hanging around here for a bit.” Mango replies and then adds, “Keeping cool, ya know? Hahahaha!” He laughs a little too loud at his own joke.

    “Alright. See you soon!” With that the Marshtomp exits the room and heads outside to where the apple bobbing would be. However, as soon as he left, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask his partner about that key.
