On this new moon night, the stars shine bright, and beneath them, in the shadows cast by tall birch trees, Muin picks berries from a bush with a Rowlet by his side. <'Why are we doing this again?'> Nin asks, skeptical as ever. "Fairies favour eating dairy and sweets." Muin explains, calm as ever despite the darkness that surrounds them. He plucks a ripe Custap from the bush, known to be the sweetest of berries in the Pokémon universe (he had looked it up before logging in, just to be sure). "We're going to trade them these berries for some of their food." <'Ah... How do you know all this stuff about fairies anyway?'> Nin hops closer, flying up to perch herself on his shoulder, but at that question, Muin pauses, smiling faintly as if thinking back to a fond memory. "Hmm... Well... Back when I was a child, we used to leave milk and honey in the forest by my home, for the passing fairies. I have relatives who loved telling me all sorts of stories about them." That's putting it mildly, of course, but Muin isn't about to explain his childhood to his Rowlet. Instead, he smiles faintly and scratches her head, stepping forward in the darkness. ENTERING THE TALL GRASS! When a Wild PKMN appears, reply using the ~~ATTACK~~ button to weaken it! But watch out— it might fight back! If your PKMN faints, you must go to the closest SHRINE to restore your PKMN. When the Wild PKMN's HP reaches 10% or below, up to 2 players may spend 25 BYTES to catch it here. You may also simply ~~retreat~~ to end the encounter. Retreating succeeds automatically. Muin

However, he had heard that in UNOVR such a thing is a mechanic to unlock the Charmer class, and truth be told, he's really curious about what might happen. <'But how do you know where to find fairies?'> Nin asks as he walks through the darkened Birchwild, only knowing the way to their destination because he had marked it in his map. "I don't." Muin admits, amethyst gaze searching through the paper white trunks that surround them, adjusting to the night's darkness. "...Not exactly. However... I do know of places where fairies often gather in folk tales, and that is where we'll go to test our luck. Remember the fairy ring we found a few weeks ago?" <'Oh! Yeah, where I fought that nasty Impidimp! Do you think more fairies will appear there? Ugh, I don't wanna see more Impidimp.'> "We'll see... It's a few metres ahead."

It doesn't. Instead, what Muin and his Rowlet find themselves looking down upon is a shy Petilil that glances up at them, peeking from behind a slender birch. <'Yep!'> Nin confirms, still perched on Muin's shoulder. In the most owlish of ways, she tilts her head when looking at the Petilil. <'Are you a fairy?'> "She's not." While the question was meant for the Petilil, Muin is the one who responds, taking a step closer and into the fairy ring as a result. He kneels in front of the little grass type, giving Nin no choice but to hop off his shoulder and onto the fallen leaves that coat the Birchwild's ground. "Do you know where I could find some fairies? I got these for them." In the darkness of the night, the berries are barely visible, but their sweet scent fills the air all the same...

I don't know where they are, but I have something from the fairies that I could trade you for those custap, if you want.'> The Petilil says, apparently eager to trade. Muin, however, is far more skeptical, his eyes narrowing when staring down at the Petilil. "Hm... And what would that be?" They couldn't be that lucky, could they? <'This!'> From behind her, the Petilil produces some sort of dough ball. Muin can't see it all that clearly, but sort of looks like those energy power balls that they sometimes sell at juice bars and coffee shops; those made with oats, peanut butter, chocolate chips, dried fruit, and whatever else people decide to add to them. This one, however, sparkles in the starlight, small pieces within it shinning golden and silver. <'The fairies said it's made with stardust and...uhmm... other things! I was saving it for a special occasion, but I really like custaps, so you can have it!'> Sketchy. That's what Muin thinks of this offer: it's really sketchy. How can they know this strange ball is actually otherworldly food? It doesn't look normal at all, but nothing says this Petilil isn't trying to rip them off. Then again... How would it have had the time to make this in advance? There's no way it could have known... "...I suppose that could work." Muin says, musing the matter. He doesn't trust the Petilil, but there's no harm in trying, right? He can always find more berries if this doesn't work, even if it will be weeks until the next new moon.

Muin watches her and so does the Rowlet, neither seeming too convinced by this arrangement. Yet, they go through with it all the same, sweet berries being exchanged for the Petilil's stardust treats. <'Great! Cya around!'> The Petilil is quick to rush off into the darkness as soon as she has her berries, leaving the pair of Gardener and owl utterly bewildered. <'Muin! Should I go after her?'> What is the right answer? "I—...I suppose that wouldn't hurt..." He finally responds, but his gaze is fixed on the treat he holds.

Where did she go?'> Nin jumps around in the darkness, searching for a Petilil that isn't there anymore. Odd. Muin hadn't even gotten to throw his Golden Pokéball, and yet there it is, clear as day in his HUD: the notification of a successful capture. Odder. Had that really been a Petilil? It sure looks like it in his Pokémon storage, and yet... "Nin, come here..." His gaze turns to the small stardust treat in his hands instead, and carefully, applying just the slightest of pressures, he splits it, revealing an inside that that shimmers like gems in the light of the stars. A geode, but who's to tell what it's actually made of? <'Ooooh, pretty!'> "You can have this piece." He offers half of the treat to the Rowlet when she returns to being perched on his shoulder and together they eat...

OH! It's crunchy! And sweet! And... and... it explodes in my mouth! I like this thing!'> "Hmm... Yeah... It's reminiscent of pop rocks..." Not exactly, but the sensation is similar. At first, the sweet taste is akin to that of a vanilla cake, but then the crunchier bits, those that resembled gold and silver, sizzle and pop, exploding into a burst of flavour. Honey. Strawberries. Chocolate. Mint. There are dozens of them, appearing and fading too fast for him to identify all of them. Muin has never tasted anything quite like it before, but as it turns out, the flavours and textures are not the only thing that makes this strange treat seem otherworldly... <'Muin! Look!'> Nin's wing points upwards and Muin looks up to the sky... That sky with no moon. That sky that had been so dark with only distant stars. That sky that now bursts with light. Those stars, the ones that were once mere twinkling dots, now shine brighter than ever, filling the firmament with colour. Where once there had been inky darkness there's now blues and purples and even the softest rosy hues. It's like something out of a movie, and then... Then the stars fall Not just one, not just two, but over a dozen; raining down beautifully upon this Birchwild Grove. <'Shooting stars! Muin, make a wish!'> "Oh. You're right..." What could he wish for? Game as this may be, there's a thought that fills Muin's mind at that very moment, one that overtakes over everything and yet that he does not voice as the stars falls. It's just for him and them to know. Maybe that treat of theirs had actually been otherworldly after all.
