mingle - raining cats and dogs (?)

[starhuemods]

It was a regular day for farming and living and whatever people wanna do - clouds had built over the last few days, but other then a slight bit of rain, things were normal.

Until now.

It began with rain. Just regular rain. Until the rain seemed to shudder and become soft ice. It looked like a mix of rain and snow - and glimmered like diamonds. It wasn't cold, it was just... beautiful. What a strange event...

That is, until a few hours passed. The diamond dust falling from the sky wasn't too weird. Even if it was nearing the end of Summer, it was quite nice. What began next, though? It was even weirder.

Diamonds and other gems had begun to fall from the sky, though they seemed to impact people just like rain. Not painful at all. They were real, at that! Whatever was causing this, it was... well, weird. It wasn't just the people and the outsiders curious about this - Pokemon from the forests and beyond seemed to be coming out into the town. Oddly, they were mostly Zubat and Bidoof... but there's a lot of other Pokemon, curious about the gems! Some of them are even eating them. Please stop.

...though, people not distracted by the Pokemon might notice small apple-like rat creatures. Some of them even seem to be falling from the sky with some squeaking. 

The next day, things will be back to normal - any items not picked up will vanish, just as they appeared.

It's Off to Work

[While he is still confused at the raining diamond, Ryder decides to shrug it off and attempts to gather some of them for his jewelry store. Well, he was until he found himself face first on the ground.

He's okay, but he somehow trying to get up to recover his footing very slowly.]

T-That's okay... Ow...

[souris_keteer]

... Oops.

[he didn't think he had that much strength! He gently puts the hat + animal aside to stand up, and offer the guy a hand.]

If I hurt you, I got a healing spell that might help!

[lycannerd]

That's okay. I can heal myself.

[He said this as he took out his moon amulet, which it starts to glow as his wounds from the fall began to close. After that, he took the mouse's hand as he slowly stands up from the ground.]

To be honest, I didn't pay attention to my surroundings. So no worries about it.

[souris_keteer]

[Well, that's a relief.]

Glad to hear you're okay! But I don't think anyone was expecting this to be part of their surroundings today...

[he holds up his hat, showing the animal-apple hybrid within.]

[lycannerd]

Me neither. I thought this strange diamond rain is part of this world's weather. Though to be honest, I feel it might be very painful comparing to normal hail.

[Ryder becomes confused as he takes a closer look at the strange creature.]

Huh, I never saw them before. Where did you find this little guy?

[souris_keteer]

[Mickey shrugs.]

He fell out of the sky! That's why I was tryin' to catch him, so he wouldn't get hurt.

[lycannerd]

[Ryder's eyes widen as takes a closer look at the creature. At least his wolf ears didn't pop out from his shock this time.]

Wait, are you telling me that it rained not only diamonds but also these creatures?!

[Sure, he saw some freaky weather back home in Anima, but raining pets?]

This is getting confusing...

[souris_keteer]

I think in these sort of places, you gotta expect the unexpected.

[He then gently lifts the creature out of his hat, and places him on the ground.]

There you go, little fella.

[And flips his hat back on his head.]

[lycannerd]

That is true...

[Regardless, he smiled as he sees the young mouse releasing the little creature from his hands.]

I'm glad you saved that young creature. Though, I feel a little guilty since I'm too occupied with the diamonds.

[souris_keteer]

Aw, don't worry about it! I was collectin' a few of 'em myself, in case my friends ever showed up here.

[lycannerd]

[Ryder smiled at the young mouse, noticing his selfless nature from his actions.]

Oh yeah, I haven't introduced myself, do I?

I'm Ryder Clayton. What's yours?

[souris_keteer]

[Mickey offers a friendly hand to shake.]

I'm Mickey Mouse! Nice ta meetcha, Ryder!

[lycannerd]

[Ryder happily accepts his handshake.]

Same here.
