Hello All~!

Who am I? Well...

My name is Snow! I'm one of Santa's personal Delibirds and I'm here to host the first ever Camp Gijinka's Secret Santa!

He sent me down here because I would probably connect with you all better than a regular pokemon since I was also turned human from the virus..

But you know, that's just the details really.

Any-who~

The Secret Santa will include gift exchange between participating camp members who sign up. There will be a 2 week sign up period where you can submit to be added to the list.

Be warned though, once you sign up, you're basically promising you will finish your portion of the secret santa within the time limit

We'd hate for someone to be without a gift now wouldn't we?

So please only sign up if you firmly believe you can finish a gift. Though if life emergency's do come up, do contact us and we'll get things handled.

After sign ups close, I will personally be giving everyone a name of who they're giving to. Because this is a secret, gift are not to be submitted until December 10th. You can share your gift with the receiver if you'd like, or surprise them when you upload. Both are equally fine~

You will have until December 31st, 2015 to finish your piece. Anything after will be considered late, so try not to be!

Do note, You will get EXP from this event. Maybe I can even convince the counselors to give some bonus EXP for participating in an event. All the more reason to join eh? We'll see~

Other than that, I will be around the camp for the rest of the winter season. So feel free to say hello if you wish! This is what I look like if you're curious. 

That's about it. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you around camp!


Sign ups for the 2015 Secret Santa will be open for 2 weeks and will close on November 30, 2015 at 11:59 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time)

All participants will receive personal notes from Snow with the name of the person they will be a Secret Santa to within a few days after closing sign ups. It's encouraged to keep these names to yourself to make the event more fun. You may make the gift at any time but it won't be accepted to the group until December 10th. The final day to participate in the event is December 30th. 

Snow will also be around the camp until the end of the season so feel free to interact with them however. Information is linked under their reference Here.

Here's the form to fill out to sign up. Simply post your comment below with it filled out to enter. Your name will be added to the journal to confirm your entry.

Gijinka name:

What will be your gift type? (Writing or Drawing):
Any particular requests for your Secret Santa?(Theme, important details to remember, ect):

Tis the season!

Kelso is floating around in the water on in his row boat his hair in the water as he relaxes his feet kicked up on the rim of it

Moriko works in the garden near the lake, humming slightly as she trimmed any overgrown plants and weeded the general area. A basket nearby held some of the harvest for the day

he spots her and sits up his hair dripping with water as he rows over to her

she doesn't notice immediately and keeps up in her work, still humming all the while.

he reaches land after awhile and steps off onto land and sneaks over to her

she keeps working, her hums turning into a soft song. The vegetation seems to become a richer green when she did, but only enough to slightly notice

he walks over to her and waves "Hey Moriko."

"Hm?" she glances at him, her antenna twitching slightly. "Oh, Hello Kelso."

"Hello. Hows the garden going?"

  "Oh it's fine. Just the usual today which is kind of nice but also kind of boring, you know?"

"Need some excitement? Like any at all?"

"Depends on the type of excitement."

"Hm… Any ideas?"

"No not really. When you came up to me asking that I thought you had an idea honestly."

"Oh..Well um...nothing that you would like I'm afraid."

"Oh? What would that be?"

“Maybe take a walk in the forest? Find something dangerous to do."

  "Why would I not like that? I love the forest, though I don't know about the dangerous part."

"We will just have to see."

"When did you want to go?" she shuffled with the plant in her hands

"Now would be nice."

"Well alright, I guess we can now." she stands, stretching a bit

"Mkay." he smiles a bit

"You take the lead?" she hovers in place, seeming to be a bit taller than what she was.

"Um alright." he picks a random direction and begins walking into the forest

she follows, floating alongside him "Your hair is still wet you know."

"Yeah?"

"I just thought you would dry it for some reason." she shrugs a bit "Doesn't water make that thing heavier?"

"Nah not really. It only adds a little bit more than the golden bead already does."

“If you say so."

"So. What do you think of the other campers?"

"They're very... loud." she sighs slightly

"Guess I didn't help all that much?"

"You're not as bad. I mean, most of these people aren't even 20 yet so I guess it makes sense..."

"Yeah. And I also stick out like a sore thumb here. One because of my hair. Two because of my height."

"Maybe a bit. I'm surprised I'm not the shortest actually." she giggles a bit

"Aye." he snickers a bit and then sighs "That child better not fuck with my relaxing again though. Anyways, You seem to get along with the head counselor."

"Barely. We've yet to really talk face to face... all I've gotten so far is an angry electric rodent really.. and you now I guess."

"Heh. Guess us two are outcasts. I think I only have one warning left before I go to the detention cabin."

"There's a reason I generally keep out of the drama... or try to at least."

"Eh. But that Charizard is sure fun to mess with. So. Moriko. Been meanin' to ask ya something.." he stops and turns to her rubbing his neck a bit

"Mmm.. I'm not normally a trickster outside of my normal setting but alas, what is it?" she stops as well, leaning forward a bit while hovering

"Uhhh..not sure how to say this..uhh….I was wondering maybe if you would...If we can….If I.."

“Never mind.." he quickly turns back around

she blinks a bit and tilts her head "...eh??"

he takes a deep breath in from his mouth and out his nose as he turns back around quickly saying "Would you like to date?!"

she pauses and blinks again "What's a date?"

"Uhhh… Oh god this is gonna make it much harder.."

"Like. Be in a relationship. You know what that means right?"

"... a boat? like you normally use on the lake?"

he sighs and face palms "Love? Please tell me you know that."

"Yes I know that. What's that have to do with a boat?"

“Forget the boat. Moriko." he pauses for a moment "I think I might love ya."

"…Eh??? But you don't know me that well... aren't we supposed to like, know each other better? I thought that's how that worked.."

"Yes it is. But that's what a date is. We go somewhere and get to know each other better…What do ya say?"

“Ohhhhh... okay. Sure then~ we can bring lots of people on the date and get to know them too." she giggles a bit, the thought of everyone in the camp having a get-to-know each other session amusing to think about

"Uh. I was thinking just me and you to be honest... Unless that sounds too selfish..."

"oh okay, that's fine too." she sways a bit in place, smiling "So when should we do this 'date'? and where?"

"Well I guess you could say this is our date? Know anywhere nice? I see you come in this forest a lot." he smirks a bit glad he succeeded

"I know many places." she looks around, observing her surroundings and the antenna on her forehead twitching a bit "I have a garden near here actually that I haven't been to in awhile. Maybe there?"

"Sure. Lead the way."

she twirls slightly and heads down the trail ahead of them, taking twists and turns until she gets to a wall with vines on it. Pulling on the vines a bit she exposes an opening "This is ittt~"

he tries to keep up with her but as they reach the gate and he screams out a bit and clutches the right side of his face

"Eh? What's wrong?"

 he takes his hand off and there is a big gash on his eye lid and he keeps it closed

"W-what happened?..."

"I don't know. I think something hit me. I heard a scream and then I got hit in the face. I swear to god whatever that was I’m going to kill it.." his eyes are glowing very bright as he starts walking back into the forest

"W-wait!" she follows closely, trying to look at his eye closer

"What?!" he turn back around his right eye still closed, his left still glowing

"It's dangerous... you shouldn't go out there wounded..."

"...hmmm..." his eye turn back to its normal dim glow as he sighs and walks back to the gate

she holds it open for him to get inside. it's a bit of a tight squeeze for him but he can get through

 he looks around once he's inside with his good eye

 The garden is a bit untended but still nice. It's a small cave-like area with an open top to allow sunlight in. Bushes and trees with berries on them filled the area with a small fresh water pond on the side, a small waterfall running down from the rock.

"Nice place..and no kidding you haven't been here in while.."

 "Been a bit busy.. but hey, sit down and let's clean you up yeah?"

"Yeah um. Where do I sit?"

"Just on the ground... I hope that's okay. And sit near the water."

his wounded eye lid twitched as a small trail of blood trickled down his face from it, as he walked over to the pond and sat down looking into the water

she looks around and takes a small leaf from a plant and uses it and the water to clean up the wound a bit "This is odd... I didn't hear any screaming either."

“Really? It was loud. I saw a red scarf and white hair."

"Yeah, I didn't hear anything." she cleans the opening as carefully as possible, trying not to inflict any more pain

"Ah shit...that stings.." his ear twitches every so often

"S-sorry.. but that's better. You've stopped bleeding now."

"Aye.." he covers his eye with his hand "Have anything to cover this?"

"Uh... I could make something for the moment..." she fumbles with a few leaves and vines, using them to cover it "Is that okay?.."

"Yeah.." he looks at his reflection in the water "Heh..I remember some of y family having eye patches. The humans had 'em. Even gave them to some of the other Poke'mon that got injured."

"Oh? That's interesting. I wish you didn't need one though.."

"Eh. Why's that?"

"I don't like any pokemon being injured... plus you have nice eyes, you know?" she smiles at him

"I do?" he looks at her and smiles back

"I think so. Maybe we can get your eye fixed eh?"

"How?"

"I'm sure we can with some medicine or something.. There still might be a scar though."

 "I don't know..I kinda like it." he stood up and moved the hair from his other eye doing a bit of a pose like he was about to dock another ship

she blinks at him, not getting the reference

"Hm. Anyways. You have a full name or is I just Moriko?" he held out a hand to help her up

"Just Moriko. I remember someone calling me that when they saw me long ago, and it always just stuck with me." she takes his hand, standing up only to fly once more with her wings

"Well I do have a full name..quite a long one. Kelso Varridian Balker the second."

"Second? was there a first?"

"Yeah my grand father. He was one of the most powerful Zoroark I've ever seen. He once took down a swarm of Dustox on his own..."

"I always wanted to be like him..you know. Live up to the name."

"I never really had that sort of thing since I don't have parents." she sways a bit, crossing her legs mid-air

"Huh?"

"Yep. The earliest I can remember wassss.... oh I don't remember now actually. Too much has happened..."

 "Um. Okay?" he just thinks she has a bit of memory loss "Um anyways. Got anything to ask me?"

"Hm? About what?"

"I don't know. Where I come from? My age? Anything really."

"Ummm you could just tell me now couldn't you? I'm not good at this 'date' thing."

"Well..do you just want a rundown of all information you need to know or?"

"Sure."

"Alright. Well, I'm twenty five years of age. I'm six foot eight. No I don't know how I became human and I don't really care. I am a pirate and.."  he stops and blushes a bit "I can't...swim.."

she tilts her head at him "Swim? Even though you're in a boat all day?"

"Yeah I know..anyways. I like adventure, fishing, sailing, treasure hunting, thievery..uh I mean borrowing. And my dick size is nine and a half inches...oh fuck.." he face palms hard

"What's a dick?"

"Uh nothing. I'll tell ya some other time." he sigh a bit glad he averted that

she blinks again "eh?"

"Nothing. Anyways. You wanna give me a quick rundown?"

"Oh okay~ ummm..." she thinks on it a bit before answering "I'm 22 in human years, or around there, I became human around that time so I've been human like this for 22 years, I'm five foot, I have no gender but consider myself female and I like all things gardening basically."

"No gender? How does that even work?"

"No gender. I can't reproduce or make baby celebi's... though that'd be kind of cute actually." she gets a bit side tracked "I saw this human picture of a female and she had these weird things on her chest that I don't have. Look!" she struggles to lift up her shirt, showing a bare torso

"Right...they are breasts..women have them and they are used for feeding children as thy hold milk..it's also something men like myself find attractive."

"But they're weirdddd. I only felt like an actual female when I turned human. When I was a pokemon still I wasn't so concerned with such things."

"Yeah.." he snickers a bit "Maybe the head counselor could grant wishes for ya if you want things like that."

"Why would I want breasts? I feel like I wouldn't be able to fly anymore..."

"Well..one they can vary in size..so I don't think you should worry about that.."

"I don't want breastses.." she pouts a bit at the thought

"I was just kidding anyways. Heh.."

"Mmm..." she still pouts a bit before suddenly switching subjects "I miss my powers... I can still use telekenisis though so that's fun."

"Well yeah I can see you using it quite a bit."

"It's funnn~" she picks a few berries from the bushes near them, using her powers to toss them around for the heck of it

"Heh." he just looks at her with a smile on his face

"But I feel more disconnected to the forest than I normally did... it's kind of upsetting." she keeps messing with them, watching the actions before her

"Eh. There are benefits to being human you know that right?"

"Mmm... I haven't really found any. my purpose was clear as a pokemon.. and now..." she trails off a bit, sighing

"Hey." he puts a hand on her shoulder "Everything always works out. That's what my grandfather told me. No matter how dark things get, there will always be good in the end."

"There is no end for pokemon like me.. but that's a different issue. I became a part of this camp for a reason... we'll just have to see how dark things get from here." she chews on her cheek a bit, thinking of things

"Um..okay? Anyways.."

"Hm??"

“What do you wanna do now?"

“I dunno, I still don’t know what to do on this ‘date’ thing.”

"Well most of the time people end up falling in love by the end of it..most of the time anyways."

"What about the rest of the time?

"Uhhh... I think we just do what one of us wants to do..."

"Hm?"

"What?"

"...What are we talking about again???"

"The date."

"..OH. So we're supposed to fall in love?"

"Uh I guess if you feel the same."

"Do I?" she tilts her head

"Only if you want to."

"Uhhhh okay~"

"What?"

"If I want to right? and I want to. You're nice to me so why not?"

"Wait..really?"

"I don't see why not. Do you?"

"Well...I said I did before so of course."

"OKayyy~" she smiles

"Well..umm.."

"Yes?"

he sighs and pulls her into a kiss

she blushes, stiffing up a bit

he smiles at her "How was that?"

"I..." she keeps blushing, blinking in confusion "...eh?"

"What?"

"That was... love???"

"No..that was a kiss..it's part of love. Did you like it?"

"Was too fast.." she kisses him this time, her wings fluttering faster in excitement

he smiles and kisses back

she hums slightly into it, obviously enjoying it

He puts his hands on hers, holding them during the kiss

she pulls back and squees a bit, excited by the new interaction

"So...guess you liked that?"

'"Yess~ You taste like the berries from this morning."

"Heh..thanks.."

she twirls around, smiling brightly "So how often do we have to kiss?"

"Anytime you want."

"Whaaaat? Amazing!"

"I know.."

"I like this relation-boat thing so far~"

"Heh. I'm glad."

"So is that it? We talk and kiss on a date?"

"Well..with me you do..see dates are only for people you love..like me and you."

"But I thought dates were for getting to know each other."

"With someone you want to have that relationship with."

"I want to love a lot of people. Kissing is fun too~"

"No that's something you with me."

she tilts her head, confused "Why?"

"Because...it's something you do with people you love."

"But I want to love multiple people."

"But..." he sighs

she blinks, still confused.

"Your supposed to have one.."

"Eh? Only one? Why?"

"Because...it's a special thing."

"Oh... Okay then."

"Well..I love you Moriko."

she smiles "I love you too."

"So...now what?"

"We could head back to camp. They'd probably do a better job at fixing your eye than me."

"But. I don't mind it."

"Hmm..."

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"What?"

251 Celebi by CharmandrigoEmojis"I don't like anyone wounded is all." she touches next to the area, a bit sad from looking at it

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"It's okay Moriko."

251 Celebi by CharmandrigoEmojis"I guess... still upsetting though."

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"Why?"

251 Celebi by CharmandrigoEmojis"I  just don't like it.. hard to explain..."

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"Um alright?"

251 Celebi by CharmandrigoEmojis"You sure you don't want to go get it fixed?"

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"Yep."

251 Celebi by CharmandrigoEmojis"We should be getting back anyways, it's getting late.*

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"Oh alright..."

251 Celebi by CharmandrigoEmojis"We can do a date again, yeah?" she smiles at him

570 Zorua by CharmandrigoEmojis"Alright."
