HALLOWEEN 2016: Team Skull Log

Who: Everyone who wants to join a team!
Where: Goldenrod City!
When: October 31st!
Summary: Team Skull's planned a full-fledged assault on Goldenrod; join up with a team and take them down!
Rating: Will vary from thread to thread. Warn for common triggers if something comes up.
Log:

It's been three days since Guzma's made his first announcement over the radio, but try as the police might, no one's been able to get to him since; after making his call to arms, asking all available Skulls to come to Goldenrod to have some fun, he seems to have completely dropped off without a trace. But Candela isn't concerned much about that. She's been at this for long enough to know the song and dance; this is a pivotal spot, after all, and Guzma will be back here before long, probably with more than enough cronies to go around. When that happens, they'll head him off at the pass. Easy as that. He's gotta get orders out to the people outside, after all, and the only place he can do that is here.

He won't take it over a second time. Team Valor will make sure of that.

Meanwhile, outside the tower, Blanche would like to think she has a bit more control of the situation. Candela had been so gung-ho on kicking Guzma's ass in the tower that Blanche almost didn't have the heart to tell her that there was probably an ambush waiting in there for her. ...Rather, she tried, but Candela has a way of being far too stubborn for her own good...in any case, if she needs backup, she's out here to provide it, but if there are going to be riots and messes in the streets, its better to be out here where the damage is going to be at its highest, just to stop it before it starts. Already, Team Skull is starting to come out in small hordes, and it won't be long before things start to get hectic out here. Team Mystic, though, is dedicated towards stopping this before it gets a chance to start. ...But perhaps they'd be taken a bit more seriously if Candela and Spark hadn't forced her to dress up for Halloween--

Speaking of Spark, of course, Team Instinct's leader seems to have his priorities in order; if there are going to be riots and debris in the streets, some of the wild Pokemon in the area might just get hurt, and that will never do! So Spark has taken it on himself to lead a search-and-rescue charge with Team Instinct--any stray Pokemon in the Goldenrod area should be either captured or brought straight to a Pokemon Center ASAP! The goal is not to leave even one behind! ...Of course, Team Skull is a problem, too, but won't somebody think of the Pokemon--

You're free to NPC any Team Skull grunts and Pokemon interactions yourselves, but Team Valor will have the chance to battle Guzma, and Team Mystic will have the chance to battle Plumeria! Please be patient with responses in these threads; if the boss's Pokemon start to become too weak, they'll end up making a tactical retreat!

One last thing: you're all encouraged to have your character in costume for an event like this, and your team leaders will be dressed in costume, too! If three or more characters in costume participate in a thread together, a miracle might occur, and the Legendary Bird corresponding with your team has a chance to appear at your discretion! This applies in battles with Guzma and Plumeria, as well!

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

slouches in with starbucks, whatup

They really do seem like they came out of a TV show, don't they...?

[Alphonse sighs and scrubs his hand through his hair, watching the pair of grunts down the street making a big fuss about trying to knock over a dumpster. With a roll of his eyes he glances down to a pair of Meowstic; maybe not the best choice of Pokemon with the apparent random Dark-typing, what the heck guys, but they have a wide enough move pool that Al isn't too worried.]

Jack, Jill, go chase these idiots off, okay?

[With an affirmative twin "Meowwwww!" the pair scamper off, and Al turns to look properly at Tim--only to be startled by the scarring on his face.]

Wow! Holy crap, you really went all out on the makeup!

steals your starbucks and makes a run for it

[personal profile] secondhandsome 2016-11-11 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
A seriously low budget show, maybe.

[Oh, dang, look at those cats. He's read up a little on those, but it's cool to actually see them. Even if the name of one of them is less great, but that's just the bias talking.

At Al's reaction, Tim is startled right back. Oh, right. Yeah. Yeah, this is a thing he should be expecting a lot of. Even if that assumption leaves him puzzled for a moment.]


Uhhhh... [...Just go with it.] Right. Yeah.

[...Okay that wasn't really going with it, but let's change the subject right now immediately, go go go.]

Soooo, does this kinda thing happen every Halloween or what?
armoredsoul: (uhhhhhhhhhh)

[personal profile] armoredsoul 2016-11-11 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Noooot quite slick enough there, Tim. But other than a raised eyebrow and suspicious look, Al lets the subject drop for now.]

Hmm...well, my first Halloween here two teams had decided to use this region as some kind of weird battleground for some reason, and the legendary Pokemon they had under their control nearly blew up Indigo Plateau. Then the one after that there was the were-Pokemon business, that was incredibly annoying. Given how often strange things happen, though, I don't know if that's just weird timing or if Halloween is a specific thing.

[personal profile] secondhandsome 2016-11-13 02:05 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, wow... That all sounds uh... "fun". Gotta be honest, hearing that, this seems pretty tame. So far, anyway. This is more annoying than anything else, huh?

Halloween is kind of a weird holiday, so, well, it'd be fitting if it's a thing.
armoredsoul: (Henry plz)

[personal profile] armoredsoul 2016-11-13 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah--Jack, use Reflect!

[Al lets out a gusty sigh, shaking his head, turning his attention back to Tim.]

It was a nightmare and a headache, you don't have to be nice about it. But you're right about this year, at least. ...it's actually been relatively calm lately, hasn't it?
secondhandsome: (068)

[personal profile] secondhandsome 2016-11-14 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Ha, yeah... Calm.

[Soooo calm, everything's just been... so chill.]

I mean, just... what basically amounts to petty crime, that's not so bad. Pretty easy to handle anyway.
armoredsoul: (Calm)

[personal profile] armoredsoul 2016-11-18 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
[In a global sense!!! ...sort of. Look, it's not like he knows about everyone's personal drama, okay.]

Yeah, so long as nothing legitimately spooky happens I think we've pretty much got this whole mess handled. Especially considering some of the people that I know went to go help at the Radio Tower, heh.
secondhandsome: (076)

[personal profile] secondhandsome 2016-11-25 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Ha, you too huh? 'Cause I know at least one friend who went there who uh... Well, hell, I think she could probably take care of all of this solo.
armoredsoul: (Unsure)

[personal profile] armoredsoul 2016-11-29 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
Ha ha...yeah, two of my housemates went tearing off with Candela basically as soon as they knew what she was planning. I'm going to consider it an act of god if there's no property damage after they're through with Team Skull there.
secondhandsome: (089)

[personal profile] secondhandsome 2016-12-01 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Man, at this rate I'm almost gonna start feeling sorry for these guys.

[...]

I mean. Not actually, but you know.
armoredsoul: (Studying)

[personal profile] armoredsoul 2016-12-03 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
[Al snorts out a laugh and nods.]

No, I know what you mean! But they did bring this down on themselves--I'm pretty sure this region has a heck of a reputation in this world because of all of us. They should have known what they're getting themselves into.
