The dog days aren't quite over yet...
Who: Everyone participating in the Dog Days of Summer event!
Where: Mt Mortar, the Bell Tower, OR the Seafoam Islands
When: August 17th-31st
Summary: With the Legendary Beasts running amok, it's up to everyone to help figure out what's wrong and get everything back to normal!
Log:
Bell Tower
Volunteers helping at the Bell Tower will arrive in Ecruteak City and be welcomed into the Bell Tower-- the normally-reclusive monks are still fairly stiff, but in the interest of not driving off the very help they asked for, they will be much more accommodating than usual.
Little studies have been set up all over the archive rooms in the upper floors, allowing volunteers to group up at tables and pore over old tomes and scrolls for any information that might be related to Ho-Oh or the three Beasts-- of course, there’s also a wealth of information about legendary Pokemon from other regions… just don’t let the monks catch you getting off-topic!
Gym Leader Morty will also be present helping with the research, and is using his Indigo League funds to finance inn lodgings in town for all volunteers. As for refreshments, local restaurants have also stepped up, eager to provide free food for all volunteer researchers! Gogoat-drawn carts full of fresh, traditional cuisine will come trundling up to the Tower several times a day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner)-- often accompanied by the restaurant-owners themselves. The guy who runs ECRUTEAK HOUSE OF DUMPLINGS will be there a lot-- he and his Emboar are particularly bombastic about stuffing everybody full of delicious fried dumplings at every opportunity. Gotta stay well-fed if you want to study!
That said, anyone wishing to pull an all-nighter will either have to bring their own snacks or rely on the monks’ supplies-- which means plain rice, hot tea, and not much else.
----
Mt Mortar
The base of Mt. Mortar is a flurry of activity no matter what the hour-- the center of operations is a large camping area at the foot of the mountain, where a small army of tents have been set up. Rangers and volunteers alike are rushing around, and anyone just arriving will be asked to sign in and mark whatever tasks they’ll be helping with.
Strong trainers can sign up for field work, which can involve anything from patrolling the mountain to evacuate campers to helping corral the panicking wild Pokemon population (bright side: there’s even more rare ones running around than normal, and capturing them is a quick and easy way to get them out of harm’s way!). Trainers with flying types may even wind up helping to carry water over from the Lake of Rage in case of what the Rangers all fear: forest fire.
More inexperienced trainers will lower-leveled Pokemon will be encouraged to stick around base where it’s a little safer-- but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of work to be done! Several meal tents are set up around the base, where you can serve (or be served) quick meals from hot pans, soup kitchen style. Nothing fancy or extravagant, but nothing that won’t taste great after a long hectic day of running around the mountain. And hey, it’s free.
A first-aid tent is also set up where trainers and their Pokemon can have injuries patched up-- the Nurse Joys staffing it can always use assistance to keep up with everything.
Sleeping quarters are provided via cot-filled tents set up around the base-- those ones are first-come, first-serve, so grab one fast! Helping the Rangers out is an all-day-all-night affair, so everyone just sleeps and eats when they get the chance to. Reminders to do both on a regular basis are posted all around-- nobody wants sleep-deprived trainers doing dangerous work, even if, between the constant roars of Raikou and Entei and the constant activity within the camp, sleeping could get pretty difficult.
Fortunately, one of the first things you’ll be handed upon arriving is a pair of heavy-duty earplugs.
----
Seafoam Islands
On the shores of the Seafoam Islands, everything is… well, chaos.
The beaches are COVERED in tents of all shapes, sizes, and… raggedness. It seems many folks have shown up in lieu of Greg’s frantic video post, and they’ve more or less taken over. You can barely see the sand! Things are quite a bit less organized than they are over at Mt. Mortar, which unfortunately means that for food and first-aid, you might need to wind up heading over to the teeny tiny little dock town with the inn (booked solid, sorry!) and the shop (Blaine’s beach is less occupied, but he can be seen from time to time passive-aggressively picking up peoples’ trash around the outskirts of the tent army and scowling).
Because out on the beach, there’s no first-aid to speak of and if you go to the ‘food tent’, you’ll just be handed something like this.
Fortunately, unlike their hilariously futile efforts to find Celebi and aside from their clear lack of event-managing knowledge, it seems the Seekers actually are onto something. Every six hours or so, Articuno, Zapdos, or Moltres CAN be seen soaring high overhead and disappearing around the back of the mountain, often with stolen food or shiny things glinting in their talons.
The Seekers themselves are more concerned with getting all their equipment functioning than they are about accommodating all the tourists who just showed up to sit on the beach and stare at the horizon in hopes of seeing one of the Birds-- but if you can actually find them in the chaos, they’ll eagerly put you to work.
In this case, 'work' means 'heading straight into the caves to try and #FindLugia'. Well? WILL YOU?
(Remember to SIGN UP over here!)

C
Queenie are you alright?
[Newt appears from around the bend with Nicholas the Gastly in tow and a very large and very old looking Drampa shuffling along behind them. The young man pauses and offers an apologetic smile to Joker as he rests a hand on Queenie's head, the Audino calmer now and offering a wave to the stranger.]
Sorry about that. None of us realized anyone else was around. [Because he'd been too distracted talking to the Drampa.] It is quite the maze though. A very beautiful maze.
no subject
[The Luxray gives a yawn, apparently not bothered by the fact that she gave someone a heart attack, and Joker rests his good hand on her head.]
Looks like you've got quite the entourage yourself.
no subject
A welcome surprise, though. It makes it a lot easier to appreciate everything the caves have to offer when the path is well lit.
[Though the dark helped draw out more of the shy Pokemon.
Behind Newt, the Drampa let's out a rumble and it gets a chuckle out of the young man.]
I suppose I do. I crossed paths with this lovely creature and we've been having a nice chat since then.
no subject
[Scratching Lightning's ears, Joker nods to the Drampa.]
Even if we don't find Lugia, at least we might find other things... although it'd probably help the latter if it was a legendary.
no subject
[He pauses then, making a face.]
Ah, well, most of us, that is. I'm still not entirely sure what the Seekers are truly attempting to do.
[Make a mess. Make lots of noise. They were a little too much for Newt which is why he was content to just hang out down here.]
no subject
[A bit crude to say, but also perfectly true. Joker is pretty sure on that.]
But then, I don't think they've thought that far ahead. They just wanna see any of the legendary Pokemon. It's like dogs chasin' after carriages- they won't know what to do if they actually get one.
no subject
I suppose that is a rather appropriate why of describing the situation.
[Actually it was probably a bit of an understatement but look Newt is trying to be nice.]
And that is yet another appropriate description. To them, the idea of seeing a Legendary seems to be enough. They don't seem to care why these creatures have suddenly decided to show themselves in such a manner.
no subject
[Joker nods his head to him, even as he gestures for him to come along. Might as well keep moving along while they chat.]
What do ya think?
no subject
I..well, it had crossed my mind--with help from another that I spoke to on the beach--that they could be caring for an injured individual or perhaps trying to impress another individual. Their behavior is rather similar to that of creatures I have witnessed in the midst of courtship.
no subject
Now ain't that an idea! I had thought it might have been the first thing, but courtship, huh? [Another quiet adjustment to his Larvesta.] I didn't know Legendary Pokemon could breed.
no subject
Is your companion alright?
[Because that had to be a Pokemon, right?]
And I am--whether or not they can breed is still to be seen but there's always the possibility.
no subject
S'only a wee thing, after all.
no subject
That's a..Larvesta, is it not?
no subject
[And she deserves to see good things, too.]
no subject
[Newt glances at Joker's face but he's focused on the Larvesta rather quickly.]
She seems quite pleased.
no subject
World ain't always nice ta little ones, huh?
no subject
[Smiling sadly, Newt watches the pair for a moment before he looks away, focusing on the Drampa beside him and petting his head.]
All the more reason to do what we can to help them, though.
no subject
[Pausing at another junction, he waits for Lightning to look around with her eyes a faint glow.]
Which I suppose is why at least a few folks are here, eh?
no subject
I would hope it's why more than a few are here but..I suppose that is debatable.
[Given how the Seekers are.]
no subject
[It's okay if he says it, Ash has probably heard worse despite being a small Larvesta. After a second, Lightning leads the way again and Joker follows after her.]
no subject
[It's muttered, Newt clearly not the type to say such things normally but this situation sort of warranted it.]
no subject
If that's the kind way, what's the mean way?
no subject
Words I would prefer not to say in front of young Pokemon.
no subject
Oh, don't worry! The rest of mine have probably used worse!
no subject
Still, I have no doubts you have the imagination to fill in the blanks.
