Spill The (Drow)Zee OOC Info + Snorunt Fortunes 2026
Spill The (Drow)Zee OOC Info
The month of January is beginning with an excess of certain Psychic Pokemon... and while initially trainers may think nothing of it, just another swarm as usual, they will quickly have reasons to reconsider this opinion. Because these Pokemon have decided to be "helpful." The holiday season is a time of connection, and just because the season is over is no reason to stop encouraging these things! Surely people would like to grow closer to each other at any time of year?
And one of the quickest ways to grow closer is to share deep, heartfelt secrets with each other! Which the Mr. Mimes and Drowzees are going to do for you, whether you like it or not.
During the first full week of January, characters will be getting delivered gossipy notes with other characters’ secrets. This gossip may be of any magnitude (actual deep dark secrets vs "took an extra candy from the candy jar"), is broadly truthful, and is usually not intended to make characters dislike each other. But:
- The Psychic Pokemon have gleaned this information from characters' thoughts and dreams, and may have gotten an inaccurate impression of what actually happened.
- Even if the original Psychic Pokemon did understand correctly, there are a smaller number who actually know how to write - so the Pokemon that wrote the gossip down may have put it down incorrectly (think a game of Telephone).
- The Pokemon may have assumed that something would make a good impression, or bring characters closer together, when it actually really wouldn’t. ("Team Rocket stole their precious Fluffy once, and you're a Rocket. Surely finding out will lead you to talk it out and become better friends, right?")
Some gossip might be hand-delivered to people, if you'd like specific CR to find out a secret (or fall prey to totally incorrect gossip). Some gossip might just be tossed out on the street for anyone to find.
The event log for this will be posted on January 5th - until then, you're welcome to use this post to offer up secrets/gossip and plot! (You are, of course, also free to hit up individual characters' inboxes with gossip delivered to them, if you'd prefer that to the event log!)
Snorunt Fortunes 2026
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. Towards the end of the month, the Snorunts will re-emerge, and based on how a character treats them, they will receive one of five fortunes for the coming month: Great Luck, a Bit of Good Luck, ??? Luck, a Bit of Bad Luck, or Great Misfortune. These fortunes 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 a shiny Pokemon!
Mind you though, these Snorunts 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!
This year the Snorunts seem particularly intrigued by characters who were affected by the gossipy Psychic Pokemon, following them around more intently - did they hear some of the gossip, perhaps...? Depending on the rumors that were spread about a character, these groups of Snorunt might be relatively positive in attitude - like an annoyingly persistent fan club - or relatively negative - like a gang of haters! But either way, it's possible to sway them to the opposite opinion... you truly never know what's going to happen with a Snorunt.
In order to receive a Snorunt Fortune, please comment to THIS MOD COMMENT by 11:59 PM EST on January 31st, and include both a summary of how your character chose to interact with the Snorunts this year and a link to a thread related to the Spill The (Drow)Zee plot, with at least 3 comments from your character. (This thread doesn't need to be on the event log - you're perfectly welcome to make your own post!)
Of course, Snorunt Fortunes are entirely optional! Your character may have somehow avoided drawing their attention.
