[April 1.

April Fool's Day.

The Island has heard of this day, heard it from people past and present and hopefully in the future. You would think that, with the Island being the Island being a complete and utter whacko who springs all kinds of crazed and insane and out of the ordinary situations on the people and Pokemon that live on it, a day such as April Fool's Day would go down exceptionally well with a landmass that acts the fool. If you were thinking that, you thought wrong. The Island loves CHRISTMAS. The Island loves VALENTINE'S DAY.

Right now, at this present moment in time, maybe the Island could come to love April Fool's Day as well.

Eri has gone. Released his ownership. That is something known for certain; there was that conversation with Touko, that conversation with Soul, the ritual performed. Tina hasn't come back to reclaim what was once hers, either. The Island... is free. Free from being belonged by a Giratina. Free to do whatever it pleases, only increased tenfold. Or hundredfold. Or even millionfold because WHY NOT.

A cause for a celebration.

The first thing to happen is to transform the CMA. In a flurry of purple glitter, red and white shooting stars and pink smoke that smells faintly of raspberries, the CMA as people came to know it since the fifth of May, 2008 is no more. It's not a FIELD anymore. If anything, the CMA now closely resembles a PARK.

A park that is encircled entirely by a city.

A city that has every kind of building imaginable.

Smaller buildings, larger buildings, saner buildings, whackier buildings. All ripe for exploration, discovery and habitation.

That's not all the Island has done.

Bollards have appeared in random locations all across the terrain. They are simplistic and grey, standing roughly four feet tall and have a glowing purple swirl engraved on the top of them. Touching them will take somebody elsewhere on the Island. Azimuth Plain, Aurora Forest, Pivot Mountain, the Seven Lakes, Lake WTF... literally anywhere within the confines.

Down past the rocky landscape that surrounds Umbra Cave, a thick, unrelenting fog has appeared along the most southern edge. It can be touched, yet it cannot be removed no matter what the means.

Then there is the main thing.

With all of its shiptastic might, the Island has duplicated itself right down to the very last detail. While the original stays precisely where it was, the twin, per se, appears in a new dimension, yet still south of a Sinnoh. Perhaps this will help increase the population of humans back to how it once was. Perhaps. Perhaps. Time will tell, for sure.

With changes finished, that precise moment is sealed with a fireworks display. The sky is littered with every colour of the rainbow, scattered in all directions and forming shapes, figures such as past Islanders gone by, flowers, love hearts, you name it. The dazzling arrangement shows no signs of ceasing, either. It's going to remain for the rest of the night, to be enjoyed and cherished.

Finally, now that everything is settled and how it wants things to be for the time being, the Island speaks, a booming voice echoing over the fireworks;]

HEY GUISE! Enjoy the new changes because I love you all! Explore Monday City and the shiny looking new CMA!

[You heard the Island. Can't let it down now, can you?]

(( OOC: Et voila! After many weeks of speculation and dithering on my part, the Dreamwidth mirror of Pokedressing is open! Livejournal's community will remain open for the time being, too.

An entry from myself, Vycksta, on DW!PUD will occur within the next couple of days, listing all the changes that has happened both IC and OOC. Stay tuned! 8) ))
