Snorunt Fortunes: the returning
There exists an old superstition that Snorunts bring luck and good fortune to those that treasure them. 'Look into a rich man's past, and you will find a Snorunt there' is something you might hear from older relatives to explain why some of us enjoy more fortune than others.
Well. It turns out those old people are right. Up to a point, at least.
Whether they actually bring good or bad luck themselves or if there is some luck-giving entity that is just very concerned with Snorunt Treatment is something that can be discussed at length, but the fact remains that how you treat a Snorunt can definitely affect your luck in life. And today, characters get to experience that for themselves.
Today, wherever your character may roam, they'll find Snorunts there. Even if they just stay at home, they might find their garden teeming with Snorunts or that the little creatures have somehow managed to get into their kitchen and have turned their fridge into a nice little hang-out. It's almost like a normal swarm, and it is possible for characters to catch the Snorunts if they want, however, unlike a normal swarm, the way your character interacts with the Snorunts will affect their luck for the duration of a month (Up to February first).
Comment on this post with your character, and how they might be dealing with the Snorunts swarming everywhere. Are they ignoring them? Trying to catch them? Will they play with them, and if a Snorunt tries to get into their home, how will they react? Don't worry, we are not looking for an essay, just a line or two is enough.
Based on that, your character will receive one of five fortunes for the coming month. These range from Great Luck, Just a bit Lucky, ??? Luck, Just a bit unlucky, to Great Misfortune and can affect anything from making your character particularly vulnerable to tiny little mishaps or fortunes to actually affecting things like the likeliness of them encountering/breeding a shiny pokemon or how many levels their pokemon can gain.
Mind you though, that these Snorunt are rather unpredictable. What could lead to a great fortune from one Snorunt could be taken as a complete insult by another Snorunt. Like someone once said, life is like a completely randomly decided fortune by some website generator; you never know what you are going to get!
Oh, and as always, this event is entirely optional!

So this year, he'll be offering the Snorunts the chance to be flown around by his bird pokémon! They might enjoy seeing the world from the air, right? Obviously it's opt-in; he'd never force an unhappy Snorunt to take a flight it didn't want to go on. He's also considerate enough to make sure his fire-type birds are NOT on offer for the rides, as a consideration. He doubts the Snorunts would be comfortable with that. Any Snorunt that likes can take a little flight, roughly the duration of a carnival ride, and then be placed back safely on the ground.
(Of course, Hawks carefully warns them before they go up to make sure they don't use any ice-type abilities or moves in the air, because it's important not to ice up a flying-type pokémon's wings on these flights for safety reasons.)

As a result, Hawks will be experiencing a bit of good luck throughout January. As Hawks is traversing through the field, a glimmer in the grass will catch his eye. Looks like someone here left a Flying Gem! Well, finders keepers!
