Video

[Was anyone sleeping, at this completely random hour of the early morning? Hopefully not, because there's going to be a commercial blasting across every communicator in Pokemon world, loud and proud and completely ridiculous.]

[Picture this commercial, but with some noticeable differences. First of all, it's not a pretty lady having difficulties going about her boring life: it's an Incineroar, looking sad and disappointed by his lack of options for entertainment. Is his brother here to fight with him? Is Big Hose Face? No! All he has is his sketchpad and some terrible coffee out of a machine. It's very sad.]

[But then! But then, introduce a Cofagrigus, one wearing a visor with dark hair attached to it and some blindingly white eyeliner that it got on its face somehow, holding up a sign that says FCAB. And suddenly the mood of the video changes, suddenly getting bright and aggressive and colorful, and with a new cast of characters, including an Electrode, a Mimikyu, a Blaziken, and a shiny Gallade. They're all clearly excited about FCAB, and the Cofagrigus is the leader here, pouring a cup of coffee while making all its shoulders on one side move in time to the beat.]

[The video ends with a Gyarados, holding a sign between its teeth that reads FIDDLEFORD'S COFFEES AND BANJOS: OPENING SOON EVERYWHERE before the video snaps off and the screen goes black.

Action, Wherever Your Character Happens to Be

There's a new business in town! Which town? It doesn't matter, because this business is mobile.

It's local, but it's local everywhere.

At some point in August, a monstrosity made out of an abandoned train car will come stomping into town. It looks something like this, except it's longer and doesn't have a dinosaur arm. Instead, it simply trots around the area until it finds a Starmiebucks. Then it very deliberately settles down right across from the Starmiebucks, the arms and legs suck back up into the train car, and the whole thing sighs as it settles in.

After a few moments, the door to the train car busts open, and a small army of Voltorbs and a Charjabug bustle out and start patrolling around it. They may get a little aggressive trying to lure people away from Starmiebucks, but it's only because there's so many of them. They've been instructed not to zap anyone, punishable with banishment back to the Sevii Islands, and none of them want that.

Up close, the sign above the train car door reads "Fiddleford's Coffees and Banjos," and if you go inside, you'll find an independent coffee shop, one that is aggressively trying not to look like Starmiebucks. There are comfortable beanbag chairs around, and lots of throw pillows, and sometimes those throw pillows might be a Spheal. The walls are decorated with random photographs, usually black and white, taken from all over the regions. The main barista is the Cofagrigus from the advertisement, wearing an apron and a name tag that reads ROBBIE, and although he never speaks, he has the glowering disdain part down pat.

On the counter, there's a sign loudly and proudly declaring "Pumpkaboo Spice Lattes with ACTUAL PUMPKIN."

Come have a drink?

[OOC: Jean will answer responses to the ad, and he's around in the coffee shop as well. Let me know if you'd rather interact with the Pokemon for awhile first!]

[Her eyes might be a little watery.

Wait--hold on! The person responsible for sending this video out just clicked in her head and excuse her while she lights up in excitement.]

[Hey it was worth a shot okay!

The moment of frustration passes quickly because hot chocolate? New recipes? TEST SUBJECTS?]

[Mabel let's out a happy whoop, arms thrown up.]

Deal! We'll be the best hot chocolate testers ever!

[She let's her arms drop and smiles brightly at him though there's a bit of a sad tinge to it. Slight but there.]

Grunkle McGucket would be really really proud.

I hope he does. [She stops and shakes her head.] I know he will!

[He has to. Then their little family here can all be together again.]

I really want to get to Lavender Town so I can find Pussywillow especially. Grunkle McGucket trusted me to take care of him so I have to get him back and make sure he's okay.

[At this point she's just trying to stay positive. She has to otherwise it's just too much.]

Wait, really? [That perks her up.] We're on Mt. Moon! Do you think you could get it here?
