Snorunt fortunes 2024
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!
Another curious thing is that many of the Snorunts seem to be carrying little notes that say things like 'My Wish for 2024 is --' or 'In this year, I hope --' or even 'My New Year's resolution is --'. And if they spot your character, they will very cheerfully offer ones of these notes to them, eagerly waiting for them to fill them out. And if your character does, the Snorunts will take the notes, behold them with great joy, before eating them?!
Well. Uh. Maybe writing down your New Year's Wish helps change your fortune a little? Possibly even influence what this year will bring to you? Or maybe it was just a tasty snack for weird hungry pokemon. But just in case, why not mention what your character would've written down. Just in case.
Oh, and as always, this event is entirely optional!

Because this probably happens around when Min-Gi has his Snorunt experience, Ryan sees the Snorunts take Min's note for the new year and eat it. It's baffling after they've given them berries, but it makes figuring out his wish pretty easy. Right now, things are really good for him. He's dating Min-Gi, their music career has taken off (probably thanks to the Snorunts!), and he's pretty happy with things as they are. So, he writes--
"In this year, I hope this note is tasty for you. :)"

And this luck will manifest in the worst way for a musician who has everything going for him – for all of January, Ryan will deal with the worst case of artblock. No song he tries to write feels good. Even the songs he normally plays feel very sour to him.
(They still sound perfectly fine to everyone else)
There is no reason why this should be happening. There is nothing wrong with his instruments or his body, it just… it just isn’t happening for him this month. Music-wise, at least.
