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!)

He is, for the moment, more focused on the conversation than the food but he'll grab a dumpling as Al pulls the chair over to sit down as well. When Al says it's been awhile Ed hesitates before offering any response, because for however long it felt for him he knew for his brother it had been much longer. "... It sure has."
Once his brother is settled Ed glances over the scrolls again before offering casually, "So, Al. You've been here awhile. What do you make of all this?" So far he'd heard it wasn't entirely uncommon for the Legendaries to act out every now and then but this was sort of unique in its own way somehow. Nothing about this place made sense to him, even after all these months.
no subject
Al hums and looks over the scrolls and old tomes, resting his elbow on the edge of the table and his chin on his fist. "Mmm...there's definitely something odd going on, but it's hard to tell what. It could be just some kind of normal squabble with them that's gotten out of hand, but there's been times that human intervention set things off, too. The local equivalent of god had to come in and fix up the mess the first time I saw anything like this happen."
He blinks for a moment, then holds up his hands nervously. "I don't think this will get that bad, though! Kyogre and Groudon were of a different tier of power to Entei, Raikou and Suicune from what I've been able to gather in all this."
no subject
The part of what Al says next that sticks out the most is human intervention. "You mean like that idiot talking about fighting or catching one of them?" Because apparently that sort of feat was perfectly normal in his world and therefore shouldn't be considered a major challenge or taboo here. Ed's just going to breeze by the god comment, this place was enough of a nightmare without getting belief systems involved.
"Well, if we can find a solution it will hopefully end before it has a chance to get any worse." Optimistic? Probably not as much as he sounds with that statement. There was a lot to go through in order to find the right information and he still wasn't entirely sure it was obvious what they were supposed to be looking for in all of this mess. "This just seems like a good excuse to find out more about them if you ask me."
no subject
Alphonse nods and looks over the stacks before pulling down one of the book to look at while Ed eats. "We can only hope. At least Ho-oh should be able to do something about those three, if we can convince it to help us." The second half gets a laugh out of Al, and the glances up conspiratorially. "We can find out more for any future problems that might come, right?"
Al, you both are just knowledge hoarders and you know it.
no subject
Alphonse is going to get a pointed look when he pulls the book down, because from what he gathered at the beginning of this conversation Al also hadn't eaten yet - and shouldn't be getting distracted by books, despite their conversation. "Everyone seems to be putting a lot into the idea that they're going to help, how do we know either of these other Legendaries can stop the other three?"
He does grin at the laugh though, shrugging a shoulder. "Right, at least then we'll be ahead of things." It's not at all for personal reasons, nope, of course not. He would never do that.
no subject
He catches that look and sticks his tongue out at Edward. "I already ate an hour ago, Brother. I keep myself on a reasonable schedule." And as for the rest-- "Ho-oh supposedly created the three that are fighting, and I think has directed them in the past. I don't know what Lugia's connection to the three birds is, but it might be something similar. So the logic is mostly to get the parents to stop the kids making a mess on the playground, so to speak."
