Fatigued from playing rigged carnival games and stuffing yourself with enough sugar to give your doctor a heart attack-- you decide to take a nice stroll along the boardwalk. You kick off your shoes to let that damp and cool sand between your toes before you notice people lining up in front of baskets.

"We need a few more contestants before we can start!" Velvet calls out aimlessly hoping to snag any passer-by. A contest sounds like a much welcome change of pace. Hoping that it isn't rigged, you line up in front of a basket and watch as several other Volties join you. "Alrighty! I think we're ready to rumble! Lemme go over the rules while you all peruse the baskets for their fashionable content!" Velvet said while holding an arm up to shield her face from the sun as she watched everyone excitedly tear into their items.

Day 2 Lore


The last time he set foot in Voltra, the city was filled with screams of terror. Two seasons had passed since then, and to his relief, the bustling city was now alive with the sounds of merriment and joy. Despite this, Io the Oracle sat on a lone bench, doing his best to stay off anyone's radar. This of course didn't last long, and without provocation he responded to the approaching figure, "Hello, Miss Wattson."

"Oh!" Stopping in her tracks, Velvet sounded in surprise, "How did you know it was m- oh,” she laughed sheepishly, “Right, right. Psychic."

"I'm sorry, I know that can be... off-putting," Io shrugged in a faint gesture of apology, "I'm surprised you approached me..."

Velvet gave a soft, playful huff as she placed her well-manicured hands onto her hips, "Well, I mean, you nearly helped destroyed our city and steal our souls... But hey, you looked lonely. Would you like some company?"

The oracle hesitated, before shaking his mop of hair, "I wouldn't be opposed but I'm..." He seemed to struggle for words as the young woman took a seat next to him, watching as his fingers intertwined, "After everything I've done to you and your friends..." His usually calm voice wavered slightly before he caught himself, quietly adding on, "I wouldn’t blame you if you ran me out of town, honestly. I'm sorry, for all the trouble and pain I've caused..."

“Well, I can't say it was fun but... It's not like you had much of a choice right? I'm just glad to see you're alright..." Deciding to change the subject, Velvet let out a haughty huff, "But honestly, what are you wearing right now? You're at a festival and you're dressed in three layers too many for this weather!"

Io's heavy sleeves dangled as he lifted his arms, "Ah... But this is what I always wear... It never really crossed my mind to wear anything else…” He tilted his head slightly as he considered it, “It never mattered to me, since I can't see how I look. And it is comfortable. That's enough, right?"

Velvet gasped as if the comment offended her, "You don't need to sacrifice cuteness for comfort! No way, this won't do at all! You need more confidence in yourself, and the first step is looking the part! It's a festival! Everyone should be out looking their best."

The oracle swallowed silently from her words before letting out a soft laugh, "Ah. That's... a foreign concept... I'm not sure if it's possible for me to-"

Tutting her tongue, Velvet swiftly cut off his words, "I won't hear it. Come on, helping others look and feel their best is kind of my forté. Come back with me to my shop, I’ll doll you up and have you looking marvelous! That is, if you trust me…”

After a moment of hesitation, Io slowly nodded his head and offered her a warm, genuine smile, "I do trust you, Miss Wattson... You have a kind heart, one that will help you achieve great things in your future."

Hopping to her feet, Velvet tugged Io up to follow her, "I'll take care of everything then! But in exchange, I want to hear more about how incredible my future is looking!”
