Peyton slowly walked up to the shrine, her eyes bloodshot. She had stayed up all night. Fireworks weren't the most pleasant of things to try to sleep to, and unfortunately, she couldn't sleep all that well in the day. What was worse, she had a hang over. Damn that Snorunt. She couldn't really damn it though....it was her own fault as well. Grabbing two pieces of paper she filled it out and murmured something quietly, good luck to all those around.

Lance Carolan So all he had to do then was make a wish seeing as it was a New Year and all of the other stuff that came with it. He was directed to the Hatsumōde in order to make his wish, and not wanting to be dis-respectful he made his way up to the shrine, before bowing down to it.
It was hard trying to think of a wish to make, as there were so many things that he would want to wish for; luck for his parents back home, help for his journey with the aura, to meet new friends.....
It was a very hard choice for him to make, but he closed his eyes as he whispered his wish. ”I wish….to have guidance on my quest to train in the aura, whether it may be with a teacher or new Pok?mon.” Releasing a sigh, he put his hands into the boxes and drew out the two separate slips, wondering what would happen.
Group A: 001
Group B: 011

Haze made his way up the steps that seemed to be never ending. The mountain path was covered by giant shade trees that had of been over one hundred years old. His eyes lit up as he reached the mountain shrine. He wondered that if deep down, there was a legendary Pok?mon at rest. He made his way up to the shrine being sure to take in every site around him. “This place is huge…” After a moment, he walked up to the shrines alter not only to make a wish but to also pay his respects. A long rope hung beside him, it was tradition to pull the rope and ring the bell when making a wish. There was only one thing he wanted and that was to have a happy safe life with his Pok?mon. He then closed his eyes and slowly pulled on the rope causing a faint ringing. “This year… I just want to be safe with my Pok?mon on our journey and to have nothing ever separate us…” He released the rope and smiled softly. He had a feel that this year would be the year that his dream came true.
I choose for Group A: 39 and for Group B: 88

Vallen made his way up the steps, the rocky worn and weathered steps that led him towards the shrine. It was a tradition in Aethra, or so he was told. He wanted to learn more and more about his new home and he just found a way to do it. He was recently consigned to the cerulean pirates, a treasure hunting and myth busting group. He wasn't even a lowly sailor either, he was a ship master.
The old shrine seemed some how more majestic because of his exhaustion and the way a smooth mist clung to it. Vallen was impressed by it's beauty as he made his way up to it. Taking a knee in front of it and rattling the "prayer rattles"Thank you so much for this year, the hard times make the victories all the sweeter. I pray for more challenges and hard fought victories, and the lessons that come with them.
With a clap Vallen sent his prayers to the great beyond, hoping that they can hear him. standing up and taking a few steps back, Vallen threw a hand gull of coins into the donation box and made his way down the long path of stairs.

 THAR SHE BLOWS !
"2012, I'm not going to miss you." Susumu's turn was coming up as he waited in line for the shrine, and it was apparently one of the traditions in Aethra that was practically mandatory. It tied in well with the Winter Festival, and since he was still here, there was no harm in giving it a shot. The hot shota loli boy in front of him giggled and ran up to the well, loudly wishing for the Caeruleus pirates to 'g-t-f-o'. Lovely. Now it was his turn to make a wish, and as he stood alone in front of the shrine he clapped his hands twice. I wish I had the key to the playboy mansion. He couldn't say it out loud, but man did he want that freaking key. He silently strode out, but not before taking a few numbers for a potential prize.

youll never be alone when darkness comes ill light the night with stars hear the whispers in the dark ★ WORDS 154 ★ TAG --- ★ NOTES Group A: 093; Group B: 044 With the Christmas cheer come and gone, all that was left behind was hope for the New Year. Thinking back, it hadn’t all been so bad… she’d finally taken the first step needed to become a trainer. And hey, they say the first step is always hardest so she was practically halfway there, right? But she wasn’t about to even think about the fear of failure that constantly dwindled in the back of her mind. No, she’d come to this shrine today to put her qualms of the past behind her and look to a brighter future. One full of victory and adventure, preferably. Taking a glance at all the hopeful faces of those others surrounding the shrine, she couldn’t help but smile. Whatever this year had to throw at them, she and her Pokémon would be ready! She took hold of the two slips of paper and flipped them with an eager confidence. GROUP A: 093 /// GROUP B: 044 |

 s i e r r a c a t a l y n nSierra made her way up to the shrine, admiring the beauty of it. It actually made her a little remorseful that she hadn't dressed up a little nicer to match her surroundings, but looking around, it didn't seem like most other trainers were dressed up that fancy, either. She shrugged -- perhaps what mattered was your inside, not appearance. She closed her eyes, clasped her hands together, and spoke. "This year, I wish to never be without friends. I also wish to be the coolest and most fashionable trainer." With a nod to affirm her wishes, and stifling a giggle, she reached into the two boxes and pulled out the numbers [088] from A and [008] from B.

Aya was absolutely happy that the old year was over with and the new year had come. She had started her journey, and it seemed to be going great, thanks to the help she received from her old friend from another region. It had been a great start, and now she had moved onto the new year, and Aya had to admit she was quite ecstatic, though of course she didn't show it in front of all the people present at the shrine. Reaching the place, she glanced around at the other people, and mimicked their stance when they left their wishes for New Year. Thinking to herself, Aya thought about what her wish would be. When the thought came, she murmured under her breath her wish, "I wish that my journey continues smoothly, and that my friend is still safe back in her home." With that done, the girl glanced at the pieces of paper that would decide her luck for the year, well, Aya wasn't superstitious, but it looked fun, so why not?

[/size][/center] Katherine approached the shrine with her Joltik happily standing on her shoulder. It looks a tad confused as to why they were at such a strange place. The Joltik bounced atop her shoulder as she kneel.
”Wishes? I wish that Woofie would be able to grow up super strong and be even more AWESOME!” She smile as the Spider nuzzle her neck. She then close her eyes and continue ”I hope to make lots of new friends along this Journey… It’s a new beginning and I hope to make tons of friends… K?”
She smile again as she stood up, deciding over her numbers. She look at the Joltik. ”Woofie you pick one and I will pick one… “ She said as she couldn’t stop smiling for some odd reason. The arachnid thinking and taking the [12] and Kat in approval also taking [12]. She pat Woofie on the head. ”Happy new year!”

Touya took a deep breath as he saw the shrine before him, taking his hat off in some sort of symbol of respect. It had been a while since he had visited such a place. As a child, he went with his family to the Abundant Shrine back home for these sort of things. And now, with a new year and a new journey in front of him, it...just seemed right. With a smile he approached the various fortunes laid out before the visitors of the shrine. His hand wavered above them, as if trying to feel out the vibe, before finally selecting a slip from each group, opening them carefully, a mixture of nervousness and excitement in his eyes.

renae looked around himself for a few minutes, astounded. the simplicity of such a beautiful celebration of humanity truly struck him at the core. he adored festivities and traditions of any kind, and this one - of finding out one's luck for the new year just coming in - was no exception. he walked up to the shrine, head bowed slightly, mostly in awe of the place but also with a hearty dose of utter respect to the spirits which embodied this little shrine, the hatsumōde. his mother had brought him up to believe that there were things out there in the world more profound and more beautiful than his tiny mind could comprehend, and he was not about to lose that belief, even in his young adult years. with a smile, he took two pieces of paper, hoping for good luck written on them - he knew that even if they spelled some kind of doom, he could tie them to the branches of the nearby tree and practically will the bad tidings away. he was very good at that, anyway; ignoring things until they went away. it was one of his best talents.
renae chooses number [022] in group A and group B.

Portia wouldn't usually be one to do these things. Superstition and all sorts of irrational things were frowned upon by most of her family members. However, Portia had the feeling that she would need all her luck for this upcoming year, with what she deciding to be a Pokémaon trainer and leaving everything she knew behind her.
Hugging a rather thick book to her chest, Portia went up the last few steps to the shrine. Her eyes widened when she saw it, finding it extremely beautiful. She could understand how people would come here with their wishes and hopes and fears. There was a certain calming aura around this place that made Portia want to curl up and sleep her problems away.
"I wish to become someone I can be proud of."
She stepped forward and took two slips of paper, slipping a last look at the shrine before turning back and walking away.
Portia took: [o68] from box A; [o99] from box B |

Kellen's eyes slid upwards in thought as he pondered what he would wish for that year. He had already arrived at his destination, and he was pursuing his goal. That was all he could ask for. However upon further evaluation, he supposed he could use some new friends in the region. "I wish..I wish to be safe, and I wish to meet many worthwhile friends on my quest." He closed his eyes for a moment, as if that would help him assure himself that that's what he truly desired. Either way, it was too late now.
He sluggishly made his way up to the shrine, and withdrew a slip from each. He had pulled A [ 036 ], and B [ 001]. He pocketed the slips, and gave the shrine a slight nod before walking away. |
