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!)

Beach
As such, Korra won't have to be disgusted about that abandoned pair of undies for long. Instead, she can now be disgusted about the Muk who's swooped in to gobble them up right off the sand.
Once the garment disappears down his throat, never to be seen again, he turns his droopy eyes to the hat-wearing furret with a questioning, Muuuuk? Surely the other 'mon doesn't need all of those hats...?
Slag Stack has got a bit of a lead on his trainer. Krieg will be along momentarily, but until then...what will Korra do?]
no subject
[Korra just gapes. That just happened. That is a thing that just happened to her and she kind of wishes she recorded it because Cissnei is never going to believe her without proof.]
[Scout, meanwhile, backs up and puffs up his fur, very ready to defend his hoard of hats.]
no subject
SLAG STACK! YOU MISSED THE LUNCH BOXES!
[--There's Krieg, just a ways down the beach, holding a handful of discarded styrofoam containers aloft as though he's discovered some serious treasure. Which, as far as Slag Stack is concerned, he has. Hats and the furret wearing them forgotten, the sludge 'Mon oozes around and makes a beeline back toward his trainer with a delighted cry of Muuuuuk!, leaving a damp, purplish trail in the sand in his wake.
He's surprisingly fast for a sentient pile of toxic sludge, and all but body slams right into Krieg's legs in his eagerness to get at the non-degradable treat. Krieg remains upright less through sheer force of will and more just because it's actually surprisingly difficult to fall over when you're being held in place by thick ooze that engulfs your legs up to mid-thigh.
And, because teaching Pokemon good manners is something other trainers do, Krieg cheerfully rewards the Muk's bad manners by immediately dispensing the coveted styrofoam.
Once Slag Stack is happily munching, Krieg's gaze drifts over to Korra. He blinks, then squints, then looks back down at the Muk.]
Making friends?
no subject
[That can't be healthy. She does not envy this guy having to deal with what happens after a Muk eats.]
And I think he wants to eat my Furret's hats.
no subject
[Sorry Korra, he's drawing a blank. Or, well, he's picturing the things you find in desks and cabinets that are convenient for storing stuff in.]
He won't eat your stuff, he just eats garbage.
[Well, he might inadvertently eat someone's belonging, if he didn't realize it belonged to someone before nomming down, but if he did and then found out after, he'd feel really bad. :c]
no subject
[Korra grimaces. She loves all Pokemon, but some of them are just gross. That Mukk might have just eaten STDs or something!]
I dunno, he's really into Scout's hats. I don't even know where the hats came from...
no subject
Who wears drawers? Drawers are furniture.
[Please educate the man, Korra...or...not. Whichever you prefer.]
I bet it found the hats on the ground. There's a lot of stuff on the ground.
[Less, now that Krieg and Slag Stack are on the job, but still...it's a pretty impressive amount of trash.]
no subject
[No wonder the guy wasn't too worried about...wait, shouldn't he also be worried about his Pokemon eating actual furniture? That doesn't sound healthy, either!]
Yeah...there's too much stuff on the ground. Why are people so dirty? What do they think is gonna happen to all their stuff?
no subject
[The noise of nearly hysterical amusement he makes in response to her explanation is...well, it's certainly something. He turns his gaze from Korra back to Slag Stack.]
You ate underwear? Pfmnahahahaha! That's disgusting!
[He doesn't actually sound disgusted, though. Just hugely amused. He leans down and energetically pats the Muk's head, right between its eyes. Slag Stack surges upwards into the pressure, clearly delighted by the attention.]
They think it's not their problem.
[Which...well, it isn't. They've left it for someone else to deal with, so obviously it isn't their problem. He spots a plastic six-pack soda ring while he pets the giant muck beast, and leans down all the way to pick it up. When he sees what's in his trainer's hand, Slag Stack opens his mouth, and gurgles happily when Krieg drops it in.]
no subject
[Or...not. Maybe that's just what the Pokemon's diet consists of. Disgusting garbage. It's not even the weirdest thing Korra has heard of. And if the trainer isn't concerned...well, it's not her Pokemon.]
[She doesn't have to clean up after it.]
It's everybody's problem. I mean it shouldn't even be a problem, people should just clean up after themselves! This shouldn't happen!
no subject
[None of which has remotely fazed Krieg. Compared to the place he's from, even the garbage dumps here are pretty tidy.
He turns his gaze from the Muk still trapping his legs to the young woman passionately decrying the mass of other people's waste.]
Mmngh.
[He makes a noncommittal grunt of acknowledgement, and begins extracting his feet from the depths of their Muk entrapment. It's a slow and squelchy process that occasionally sounds (and smells) like farts.]
Stuff that shouldn't happen happens. What are you gonna do about it?
