Lusamine | Pokemon Sun Moon the Anime

[bestmomever]

Lusamine could be found everywhere this weekend, taking notes and wandering around Kanto. When she wasn't taking a nap somewhere, she was in a cafe, going over her notes on Kanto Pokemon and comparing them to others.

A busy woman, she was enjoying her vacation in this other world, and was wearing a bright and cheery smile as she greets people with a cheerful, "Alola!" whenever approached for anything, from a greeting to a battle challenge.

[sassymaru]

Cheerful is a good introduction to a giant robotic dog.

Because that is what is precisely trotting up the beach, with a trio of Pokemon along for the ride. However, at the greeting, he stops, tilting his head curiously. His Growlithe sits at his big, metal feet, wagging her tails.

"Greetings to you!"

Yayoi Kise | Smile Precure 10 Years Later

[pikapikajankenpo]

The first thing Yayoi noticed was the literal explosion of returning power blowing a hole in her roof.

Crackling with electrical power, she sighed, hung her head and said, "Kids, we're going out!"

Getting out of the house, she wandered outside of the house, and waited for the electrical thunderstorm that was raging around her to calm down. This happened EVERY YEAR. Her landlord was getting sick of the hole she kept blowing in her roof.

Anyone approaching Yayoi at this time would see her from a mile away, literally bristling with electricity discharge as she is sipping calmly at a juice, waiting for her returned powers to calm the heckle down.

Later on, once her powers had calmed enough to recess back to normal and she didn't have to repress them, she was going grocery shopping with her kids. She was wandering the area, carrying her Raichu and her Mimikyu was riding on her shoulder. Her Pokemon trailed behind her in an obedient line, some of them noshing on the electrical discharge that sometimes flecked off Yayoi's hair.

electric pokemon party

[plasticasshole]

[Connor's Magnezone is drawn to the electricity, which naturally means Connor and his own Raichu are not far behind. His Manectric signals their coming with thunderclouds, and Connor brightens a little when he sees who Crockett was following.]

Hello, Yayoi.

[He notices the difference in her, and it's not hard to figure out what's happened.]

Your powers are back, I see.

[Which may be stating the obvious, because he's pretty sure Yayoi isn't usually crackling with electricity.]

Old Man McGucket | Gravity Falls

[gobblewonked]

[A very dirty old man with a very long beard is chasing a group of Meltans, who are running full-tilt as fast as their little goo pseudopods can carry them. They're holding up a big copper pot between them, and what's happened is pretty obvious, even before McGucket shakes his fiat and hollers, in between shrill panting breaths:]

You give that back, you hornswagglin', bathtub-stealin', corn-pickin'--

[It sounds like he can't think of a word bad enough to describe these Pokemon's crime, which is strange, because it looks like this old man hasn't made use of a bathtub in months. Help him?]

[starry_forehead]

[Dipper meanwhile has been following another hoard of Meltan because of course he has.

Wait. He knows that voice.]

Grunkle McGucket?

Steven Universe | Steven Universe / possible spoilers for last season

[triesfriendshipfirst]

[A.]

Well he was suddenly in a new place that wasn't where he was supposed to be but also....

"Wow, this place is...amazing!"

Someone has located a flying pokemon bat with a heart nose.

"You're so cute....I think I'm going to call you ....Heart...oh or maybe Bats...."

[B.]

Well another day another wild pokemon attac....wait is that child using a glowing pink shield to get in front of a pokemon?

Yes. There is a very annoyed Rattata being held back from attacking a Sentret.

"Stop it! We don't have to fight!"

[C. Wildcard!]

(If you want something else!)

B

[partiallysquirrelblood]

A girl with a big, bushy squirrel tail drops out of a tree, having spotted Steven trying to intervene.

"Kid! Hey! I'm liking the enthusiasm for conflict de-escalation, but it's not something you really need to do here. Most Pokémon like fighting. It's how they get stronger."

Rose Quartz

[lifebloomsanew]

A - Violet

Rose has only been here a very small amount of months, but she's gotten a little accustomed to being an actual human being. Sort of. At least she's familiar with how it feels.

It's very noticeable when it's suddenly different. Or...not different, because she's her normal self! She lifts her shirt and instead of a pink studded navel ring, her gem is right where it used to be. To be absolutely sure, she turns ad lifts her inn room bed. With one hand. With a delighted squeal, Rose runs out of her room and our of the inn entirely, still in her pink fuzzy pajamas. Doofy the Bidoof and Ducky the Psyduck trailing after her. Why is today so different? What's happened? Everyone is human here....

Oh, my! Violet seems a great deal busier than usual! Rose blinks and tries to flag someone down.

"What's going on?"

B - Along Any Route

Once Rose has grasped the concept of these weird weekends, she embraces it. It's not going to last and she won't remember all of it, but that's alright! She's lived so long she's sure she doesn't remember all sorts of things properly. But the important memories stay.

Which is why Rose can be found all over Pokemon World this weekend.

At one point, she can be seen crouched down on her heels, watching intently as Doofy goes at a log with his teeth. The Bidoof seems to be carving something. After a moment of enraptured scrutiny, the big pink woman watching the beaver mouse shimmers and blurs and shrinks into a pink Bidoof herself.

Elsewhere, Rose will be wandering in an open field that is surprisingly full of lush, foreign flora of vibrant colors. And a great deal of roses. Moving among the flowers and shrubs and vines are a variety of Grass Type Pokemon, all of which Rose appears to be greeting personally and individually. Sometimes she bends and lifts one up, laughing excitedly....

Or maybe you'll stumble upon her running with a pack of Pyroar, barefoot and with wild abandon. Or sparring with a wild Honedge, pink blade ringing against brown. Or maybe a shadow will pass over you as you hear a cacophony of wings, and overhead is a flock of Flying Types...and a giant pink floating woman....

A YOU ASKED FOR THIS

[meteorman]

"Oh, is this your first one of these weekends?" says Ford, who was in Ilex Forest literally ten minutes ago. He walked between two trees and came out here in Violet and that was when he realized what was going on and approximately how many months it had been since the last one of these weird anomalous periods.

"I have a lot of theories as to the why of it, actually, but every now and again the carefully-maintained normalization matrix of this universe breaks down and we see an influx of temporary non-native arrivals and a less-strict adherence to the status quo of everyone being shoehorned into human form."

He's not kidding about having a lot of theories. He's thought about this way too much after having lived through so many of these.

Mabel Pines | Gravity Falls

[meowbel]

[And if we look to our right, we can one young Mabel Pines minding her own business as she squeals in delight at all the cute little creatures around her! Sure, this looks just like a photocopy of a certain game she has at home and she wants to make some copyright claim but not today!]

Oh my gosh, look at you all! You're so cute! I can't wait to take all of you home until I become a crazy creature lady!

[starry_forehead]

[Dipper is walking by, trailed by some of his own pokemon. He apparently missed what she said because...]

Hey Mabel, have you seen any metal we might have? I have a theory about the new pokemon that just showed up.

Alex | Oxenfree

[isleavepossible]

[A. Time Loop Island]

"Not again!" Alex is leaping down a small hill with her pokemon beside her. If you're nearby you might notice that the world has gone a bit...blurry, around the edges? And that you're actually in a part of the world that you have never seen before. Probably because it's not supposed to be a part of it.

[B. Party Crashers: Triangle Edition.]

Well safe back in the pokemon world but um....yes that is a triangle shaped hole in the sky.

Alex may be yelling at it.

"Look, apparently it wasn't just a dream I had last time but for the final time. No, you can't just possess the people here! ...I don't even think that would work! ....also it's still bad!"

[C. Wildcard]
(Any idea that isn't here)

B

[sassymaru]

"... you are aware it's a hole in the sky, yes?"

How does a giant robot sneak up behind a person? Who knows. But he did. And he's sitting there, casually listening to her in his canine form.

One ear is even cocked up.

Blaytz | Voltron | ota

[immashark]

1) NETWORK
So... anyone else feeling kinda like this is a dream? 'Cause I sure do. Pretty sure I've seen this little monster somewhere before.

[As the blue individual casually holds up a grumpy-looking Gible. Who bites and chomps at the air.]

It's Munchie! He came back! [He'll just. Hold it up enough to where he can smoosh their faces together. And show off matching, sharp-toothed grins.] I couldn't believe it.

But here we are. Gonna go make some money.

[Blaytz what even-- But he ends the feed before he elaborates.]


2) CITY
[Anyone encountering this fool shark in an urban area (doesn't matter which one) will see what he was talking about. Somehow, some way, he went and found some kind of underground pokemon race. Or rodeo. It's hard to tell which. But he's on the back of a wildly bucking Tauros, holding on for dear life.]

[While Munchie waddles around, holding up an empty hat. Place your bets, people.]

[See how long it takes before he falls off.]


3) BEACH
[And what's a better place to find your local neighborhood alien fish? A beach. Doesn't matter where. Maybe it's Olivine, maybe it's Fuchsia or Sevii. Wherever you are? You're in the presence of a very blue alien. Who is either throwing a heavy-duty rubber toy for his Gible to waddle after, or splashing you from the water.]

C'mon in! Promise, I'm probably the only thing that's gonna bite out here.


wildcard;
(( anything else you want? Hit him up))

3 because it has to be

[meteorman]

[Just as Munchie is about to close his big ol chompers around the toy, a shiny Garchomp puts her foot right down on top of it. Hers now, tiny loser!]

Magna. Manners.

[She huffs very, very loudly and withdraws her foot, turning to look at her trainer with the most baleful possible expression. He just pats her on the shoulder and then turns to the shark man who threw the rubber toy.]

She's just posturing.

[Magna turns right around and bites him on the shoulder. He does not react. Apparently this happens often.]

She's harmless.

[forsaintcecilia]

1. Busking

Kazuki has found that, when a happening is a happenin', the best way to get attention from anyone he might know is to play a little music! It's how he's best known, after all; anyone who knew him from the Pokemon world and anyone from his own would be able to recognize him from the sound of his trumpet.

Throughout the fourth wall, he'll be flying his Altaria from city to city to do a few small performances. Feel free to run into him where-ever! He loves to do requests!

2. Shopping

It was nearly time for the holidays, so Kazuki figured he'd get an upper hand on shopping for gifts while he was roaming about. He'll be at the department stores in Celadon and and Goldenrod cities. Mostly in places where widely appealing items can be bought, like accessory stores for both humans and Pokemon, and places where candy and treats are sold.

3. Running from Meltan

Kazuki would normally be all about meeting some new Pokemon... if it weren't for their appetite for metal.

You'll be able to find him anywhere the Meltan are, dashing off with his trumpet under his arm while either an Electrode or an Exploud tailing after him, trying to fend off the would-be interlopers trying to eat his very expensive, irreplaceable instrument. Perhaps The Meltan are aware of it's value, because they're more than just insistent on having a taste.

4. Wildcard

Feel free to make up any kind of scenario you want!

3

[triesfriendshipfirst]

Steven is wandering around with his new friends/pokemon when he sees the person running away from the Meltan. Clearly the next best thing is to run after the person as well. Luckily he's a fast runner.

"Are you okay? Why are you running from those guys?"

Penny Polendina | RWBY | Airlocked CRAU

[in4apounding]

A
Oh. Salutations!

[Picture, one young girl, squatting in front of a few Meltan, letting them- well, if they were any kind of animal, they'd be sniffing at her outstretched hand? But as it is, they're just kind of investigating.]

[Penny herself has a Riolu clinging to one shoulder, glowering down at the congregated Meltan.]

You are so cute! That- wait. No. Bad. Off-!

[Yeah, one of them is trying to absorb her hand a little. But it looks so cute doing it!]

B)
[Honestly, these regional variant Pokemon are just getting out of hand. Also someone should probably tell Penny that it's generally not considered okay to fight alongside your Pokemon, baby form or not.]

[But, yeah. Here's Penny and her Riolu kind of tag-teaming this pack of giant skeletal bear-things? With a whole lot of swords coming out of a little pack on her back. It might be sort of pretty if the overall scene weren't so terrifying.]

C)
[Wildcard me.]

B

[pikapikajankenpo]

[Yayoi was in the neighborhood when she noticed the fight going on. Those... did not look like Pokemon. At least not to her. Her "danger" sense was tingling as she called out to Penny.]

Need some help there?

Newt Scamander | Wizarding World - Victory Road CRAU

[findingbeasts]

[Wherever you were, whatever it was you were doing, you're now on the outskirts of Azalea Town near the edge of Ilex Forest where a small cottage sits. Pokemon of all sorts mill about it, all of them seemingly wild and they pause in whatever it is they're doing to glance you're way before they go about their business again. Several of them seem to be long time residents including a rather lovely Sawsbuck that seems to be patrolling with a small Deerling trailing behind him like a determined little squire. The roof is covered in various flying types and if you listen closely you'll hear the songs and chatter of different water types from the nearby stream and adjacent ponds.

Something draws you inside the cabin and once you enter you'll find the house empty of any life, not even Pokemon. There's furniture, the place having obviously been lived in at one point but the fine layer of dust makes it clear that it's been quite some time since anyone stayed in this cabin. What will catch your eye though is the suitcase on the floor sitting wide open. If you find yourself brave enough to peer into the odd suitcase, you'll find yourself looking down at a staircase. Yes. A staircase. A staircase that will lead you into what seems to be a small shed filled with a little of everything--vials of potions or empty ones to be used for potions, buckets of meat and plants, a few books here and there. It's honestly a bit of a mess. But there's also a door. A door that leads into a seemingly endless sized room. At least, that's what it appears to be at first glance.

Welcome to the menagerie of Newt Scamander.

Any character that wanders into the the suitcase will find themselves in the midst of what appears to be a zoo filled with creatures they've probably never seen before and perhaps some they have! Feel free to encounter him near any of the creature habitats or perhaps you'll find him chatting to some of the various creatures that live inside the menagerie as Newt makes his rounds--

And don't be surprised if you encounter a legendary..or five.]



ooc: Just like last time, feel free to post a top level and I'll hit it up or you can post a top level for others to explore the menagerie with you! Main rule is that you DO NOT harm any of the creatures because Newt will kick you out and ban you real fast, friends. Feel free to imply any of the mythical legendaries are wandering about and yes, there are Meltans. Everywhere.

[sense_in_nonsense]

[A suitcase that has a staircase in it? There is a little girl looking down it.]

What an odd thing. A staircase inside a suitcase. I wonder what's down there? I suppose there's only one way to find out though. Well as I'm already quite lost I don't suppose it would matter very much if I explored down here.

[And so Alice went down the suitcase stairs. She'll take a moment to look at the bottles.]

Well, none of them say to drink them, so I shant be doing that.

[And then she will continue onward to find the strange animals. You might find her trying to talk to some herself.]

Hello, do you happen to know where I am? Can you speak? I only ask because I've been lost before and sometimes the creatures there speak.

[Someone stop her before she tries to speak latin.]

Noctis Lucis Caelum | VR Cast

[thenightsky]

[CHOCOBO!]

[This wasn't the first strange weekend that Noctis had dealt with here in the Pokemon World so waking up and feeling the familiar warmth of his abilities from home surging through him? Not surprising.

What was surprising was stepping outside of the hotel he'd been staying in to find himself face to face with his Chocobo from home.

Needless to say he's making use of his new ride to make his way through Saffron City which he..somehow ended up in, Carbuncle the shiny Espeon perched on his shoulders as he guides his Chocobo through the streets.

Nothing strange to see here folks.]


[Game of Tag]

Carbuncle, where's my ring?

I don't know.

Carbuncle.

[The Espeon did his best to look innocent as the two odd little creatures sitting beside it--Meltans as they were registering in his Pokedex--wibbled and wobbled back and forth.]

I don't know, Noct!

Carbuncle, did you give them my ring?

[For a split second the shiny Espeon doesn't move then the gem on it's head glows and both Meltans are picked up as Carbuncle bolts, the odd little Pokemon being psychically pulled after it.]

IT WASN'T MY FAULT!

[Bare witness to the game of tag or help Noctis catch his Pokemon. What's your choice, friend?]


[WILDCARD]

Gimme the wildest shenanigans you've got up your sleeve!

wildcard bc rules are for nerds

[burninglight]

[Somewhere there is a man in black, formerly wild violet hair half-tamed into a longer ponytail and familiar orange scarf draped loosely around his neck.]

[...The former scourge of a star, yellow-gold eyes in deep concentration on the edge of some clear blue water with a fishing rod in his hands and an Absol sitting patiently beside him.]

Alice | Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass

[sense_in_nonsense]

[A.]

[Alice is quite used to finding herself in odd places at this point so when she found herself outside with a small pink cat she continued walking and talking to the kitten.]

Now what shall I call you? Pinkie, would be fitting though I'm not sure if that is a real word. Perhaps Puff? Would you mind terribly if I called you that?

[B.]

[And she may have gotten lost again. Which is why she may stop and ask people.]

Excuse me, but would you know how exactly it is I arrived here, and where here is? Only you see, when I end up in odd places, normally I remember how I entered them. But this time I'm afraid I'm just not sure.

[Wildcard.]

[Hit me up with anything.]

B

[pikapikajankenpo]

[One of the stopped people, Yayoi was ever helpful as she smiled. Nodding at Alice, she said,]

This is a sort of dimensional fold, or other world. It's having a bit of a weird weekend where people show up from different worlds right now. It's a land of Pokemon and I'm one of the people who were drawn here. I'm Yayoi Kise, nice to meet you miss.

Demyx | Kingdom Hearts

[synchroswim]

[A.]

<sub>[Is there anything shiftier than a guy in a long, black coat standing around in broad daylight like he doesn't belong? Or worse, looking like a Team Rocket reject?

Seriously, with the amount of Lotad in his arms and around his feet, he can't be up to any good. Especially with how often he runs down an alley and comes back with... nothing.


Should anyone follow him or even catch him, they'll find a large, inky black column of darkness swirling at the end of the alley with you guessed it, a Massive Pile Of Lotad spilling out of it. It seems like when they try to go into it, they vanish for a few seconds and then end up getting spat out by some unseen force.]</sub>

Aw, c'mon! Work with me, you stupid portal! I wanna bring these guys back to the castle!

_{[He tries to (very gently) toss another Lotad in, only for it to get flung back out like the others and deck him right in the face.]}

Ow!


[B.]

<sub>[Later on and elsewhere, Demyx can be found in one of the many parks scattered around the regions with more Lotad trailing after him (as well as a stray Mudkip this time), sitting in front of a pond with an odd looking instrument in his lap. Every so often when one of the Lotad plop into the pond and float by he plucks at a few strings and somehow a small pillar of water lifts the Lotad up into the air, earning a delighted squeak from the aforementioned Pokemon.

There's nothing out of the ordinary here! It's fine, don't worry about it.]</sub>


[C.]

_{[WILDCARD! If there's something else you want to do, feel free to toss it here!]}

A

[rimeblaze]

...What exactly are you doing?

[Shoto couldn't help but be curious. It's not every day you encounter a guy with an armful of Lotads in a trench coat running down an alley they returning with empty arms.

Something weird was going on.

So the young man had follow after Demyx with Polar and Castor, his Vulpix, on either side of him, prepared to investigate and see what he was doing to all those Lotad--

and apparently the answer was attempting to shove them into a black void that..wasn't a void?

Shoto couldn't help but tense because oh did that portal reek of a certain villain from home.]

Where are you trying to take them?

Aisling | The Secret of Kells

[thisismyforest]

A. Ilex Forest
[If you somehow end up in Ilex Forest, you may feel a pair of eyes on you or the sound of leaves rustling above...

But that's not a wild Pokemon who's watching you; it's Aisling, who is very confused about being in a forest that isn't hers but still sure as hell isn't going anywhere near the cities or open roads. Right now she's just observing this new place, trying to figure out what all these strange animals are. Though a slight misstep may have caused some stray leaves and twigs to rain down on whoever she's watching.]

B. Viridian Forest
[Oh look, another forest. Those warp pads sure are acting up. Now that she's gotten more used to this place, anyone who's traveling through here may spot her in an unguarded moment; a small, white-haired girl sitting in a clearing with several Flabebe floating around her and petting a Sawsbuck while quietly singing to it in what sounds like Irish Gaelic. Even if she can't understand these creatures, she's taken a liking to them.

Of course, if she hears anyone approaching, she'll immediately tense up, crouching on all fours as though she's ready to either flee or defend herself.] Who's there?

B

[sleepallthewayhome]

[Newt isn't pleased with finding herself in a forest so she's keeping a close watch. And when she notices the other girl she stops still. Wary, her Growlithe next to her keeping an eye on things as well.]

My name's Newt....who are you?

Miyuki Hoshizora | Smile Precure 10 Years Later

[light_of_the_future]

Arrival
Oh you're so cuuuuuute! Candy look at this!

Candy is not a pet kuru!

[Miyuki, a tall 24 year old woman with dark pink hair was grinning as she held up Candy and a Eevee.]

You two make a matched set!

[Candy, her fairy friend pouted in response.] Candy is way cuter than Eevee kuru!

Vee!

[Feeling like a kid in a candy store, Miyuki pointed in a direction.] Let's go exploring! C'mon! [Putting her friends on her head, the woman charged off, holding her bag and trailing dust as she transformed into a sparkling pink haired warrior as she leaped into the skies feeling more free than she had in years.]


Cafe
[Once she and Candy had calmed down from their excited exploration, they had decided to get a bite to eat as Miyuki fed her Eevee.] Delicious! This place is great! You sure this isn't a fairy world Candy?

This is not a fairy world kuru. It's not a kingdom of any means!

That's strange... I wonder if any of the girls are here...

[Miyuki chewed her food for a moment, thinking of the events that reunited them, and the facts that had clouded their minds. But she smiled.] Aw well!

Wildcard
Any prompt go nuts!

Cafe

[bag_has_snapped]

How come everyone's getting old when I meet them?

[It's both a bit joking and a little defensive, but, hi Miyuki. Have a Tsubomi - still a beautiful 14-year-old superhero.]

It's just so weird.

Larry | Leisure Suit Larry | I'm So Sorry | ARE YOU KIDDING ME THIS IS THE 69TH COMMENT????

[wishihadadollar]

[A. Goldenrod]

[This isn't the first time Larry has abruptly awoken in a place very unlike the one he last remembers being. It probably won't be the last time, either. This one's got a very different aesthetic than he's used to and the background music is very different tonally but boy howdy is there a lot to steal. I mean, borrow.

Haha.

In true adventure game protagonist fashion he's been picking up everything that isn't nailed down and putting it into his inventory. What this might look like to a casual observer is this: this weird skinny middle-aged man is just picking things up and shoving them into his coat, where they apparently disappear. Things he has already "borrowed": a loose brick from an old building, a discarded and empty Potion bottle from the side of the road, a flower arrangement from outside a café, and of course the most egregious: a whole-ass goddamn fucking bicycle with two flat tires. That's what he's working on fixing now. A local store is having a sale which they're advertising with some very vibrant balloons tied to the lamppost outside. Larry has dragged a trash can from a nearby alley over and is now standing precariously on it, arms outstretched, working half-blind on the knots tying the balloons in place. This is a normal day for him.]

I bet this would be easier if I'd been a Boy Scout...

[A Woobat is flitting around him in a nervous circle. Every time the trash can wobbles it lets out a concerned squeak.]

[B. Any Pokémon Center]

[If Larry were a better man he'd probably be amazed at the concept of free healthcare available in every city. He's not, though, and he's mostly decided he likes the Pokémon Centers because every single one has a hot nurse in it. Somebody else wants to heal their Pokémon? Too bad. He's here and he's gonna just lean on the counter in a manner he thinks is suave and chat up what is probably not the first Joy he's tried this on.]

For some reason you look real familiar.

Oh, you're probably thinking of the Joy from--

No, no, I got it! It's because I keep seeing you in my dreams.

[It's a bad line. Maybe not the worst line he's ever said, but this is a PG-13 game and Joy doesn't deserve that anyway. Her smile does go pretty fixed, though.]

O-oh... Well. Ah. I'm sorry, but did you need your Pokémon healed...?

[He opens his mouth. Somebody should probably step in before anything else comes out of it.]

[C. Anywhere]

[Okay, so. Larry has by now learned the best way to make money here is to have his weird monsters beat up other weird monsters. You get money for that and he's always needed a pretty full wallet to get anything done. He's still kind of fuzzy on the exact rules, though, which is why instead of doing the done thing and walking around fighting ten year olds he's opted for a different angle.

He's got a weird monster that looks like a bunny girl and a weird monster that looks like a lizard wearing lingerie. That's gotta be somebody's something. What's faster than beating up kids for pocket change? Gambling. He's set up a 'ring' by drawing a circle on the ground with chalk (pilfered, like everything else he's got in his pockets).]

Hey there! You oughta stick around for the fight of the century. Lounge Lizard is challenging Cottontail for the title [What title? Doesn't matter, work with him here] with ten to one odds. Bets are open for the next ten minutes only. How much can I put you down for?

[The Lopunny (very male) and Salazzle standing inside the circle glance at each other. Clearly they both think this is hilarious. He's a little confused but he got the spirit...?]

C because why not

[synchroswim]

Huh? Me?

_{[Is he talking to him? He's... talking to him, isn't he?]}

Uh... Sorry, dude. I've got like, ten munny on me and that's it.

_{[LOOK... He had actual Pokedollars here, but look at this hoard of Lotad at his heels. It costs a lot to feed them-- Okay, no it doesn't. Demyx is just incredibly irresponsible with money.]}

I've got some paper clips too, but I'm preeeeeeeetty much broke.

Ford Pines | Gravity Falls

[meteorman]

[A. Anywhere]

[The moment Ford saw the first Meltan all the melancholy he's been feeling for the past couple weeks was lifted from his shoulders. They're perfect and even the fact that they can't be captured (he knows, he tried immediately) can't convince him otherwise. After watching one dig into his pack and eat one of his belt buckles he got a pretty good idea of how he might be able to lure out more of them.

So you'll find grandpa hiding behind a building or a bush or a tree or something, looking very intently at where a spoon or fork or what have you is delicately placed out in the open. When he spots someone approaching he waves them over to his hiding spot.]

Shhh. Keep your noise to a minimum, you might scare them away.

[He's got his notebook out, pen at the ready. There's already several lovingly-detailed sketches and preliminary notes concerning these weird little blobs.]

[B. For Elsa]

[This is not the first time Ford has walked through a door that didn't lead to a Starmiebucks and still wound up in a Starmiebucks with Elsa of Arendelle sitting across from him. It's a little like seeing a ghost. He's been through enough of these weekends to know her presence is probably temporary, and so when he sees her his brain does several very fast calculations. He has very limited time and a lot that he wants to say and he might not even remember saying half of it when Monday rolls around. He has to figure out the best way to handle this and that's hard for a man who's notoriously bad at handling anything when it comes to delicate interpersonal matters.

And then he realizes with a horrible sinking feeling that she might not even remember him. She might have no idea who he is. It wouldn't be the first time but last time there wasn't quite so much riding on it. He opens his mouth but nothing comes out because he doesn't know what should be coming out right about now.]

[frozenfractalsallaround]

[It's a very surreal experience, being in Arendelle one moment and then finding herself across from Stanford Pines for the third time in life.

Ford isn't the only one doing a few quick calculations. She had spent enough time in this universe to know what this means. Every so often, they would find themselves here and more unusual things would happen.

The difference now is she's the visitor.

Which means she'd returned home. And that means, like all those times before with other people, this is temporary. It's... to say overwhelming would be putting it too lightly.]

Oh.

[It's quiet, a little shaky. But the funny thing is, she can feel herself accepting it already. Because she has to, unlike when Anna disappeared. That didn't feel like this. That didn't have such a finality to it.

Without even thinking, her hands move over the table and clasp one of his, because she needs to feel him. To know this... really is real.]

I'm sorry.

[For-- for what? Disappearing? As if she had a choice? It's silly to apologize, but. Looking at him, he looks rougher than she'd like and that tugs at her heart more than anything. Here, in this moment, her own well-being means shit. All she cares about is him and how he is and somehow that's making it easier to hold herself together.]

Shiro | Voltron | ota

[shiro2hero]

1) CALLING ALL FAMILIAR FACES | network
Seems like it's another one of those weekends -- [Because he knows the door to his room at the island house didn't lead to a shop in a mainland city.] -- so. Here goes.

If anyone who knows the name "Voltron" is here, give us a head's up. We're all here. We're listening.

[Because what's the worst that could happen?]



2) IS THAT A HOVERBIKE IN YOUR POCKET | along a route
[The big benefit to these weekends? Getting pieces of your old life back. If only just for a moment. Just for a few days.]

[Which is why his Skarmory is currently racing along, trying to keep pace with a goddamn hoverbike. A red one. And riding on it, grinning like a madman, is none other than Shiro. They've picked a decent place to try it out -- racing down an empty route between cities. And he's clearly deft enough at the controls to avoid anything in his path.]

[Hopefully? You can hear him coming and hold still so he can avoid you.]


3) FRIENDS | anywhere
[All right, these things were cute for a while. They were really cute. But then they discovered his metal arm. And, unlike the Aron line, they won't listen to when Kuro the Aggron rumbles an angry warning. Or nips at them to try and pry them off.]

[So... here's Shiro. Either seated on a log or a bench. His arm weighed down by a half dozen of the little Meltans, all of them trying in vain to absorb his metal arm. Whatever the thing's made out of is giving them a bad time, so they aren't successful.]

[But they're still heavy.]

This is... fine, probably.

[haveyouseenalittlegirl]

[Weekends like these were around even when Harry was first here. So he's pretty used to them. The downside is that the weird transport thing likes to force him to relive a few memories. So he Shiro, wherever you are, you might suddenly hear sirens and see a bit of steel grating appear in the universe before Harry seems to pop into existence. In a heap on the ground.]

I, really, really hate travelling like that.

[And he'll just get up as the sirens and steel fade away. Dust himself off and...notice Shiro with his new friends attached to his arm.]

Shiro, are you alright?

Todoroki Shoto | My Hero Academia - VR Cast

[rimeblaze]

[Ice Skating..?]

[It had been a long time since Shoto had felt that familiar itch of his powers and yet, for some reason, he could feel it again as if he'd never arrived in this place and lost them in the first place.

He vaguely remembered someone mentioning something about strange occurrences like this but he didn't think too long or too hard about it, far too focused on actually re-adapting to having both his fire and ice again.

Man did it feel good.

Icefall Cave is bustling with activity as Shoto slides around on ice streams, several Seels and Spheals sliding along behind him and a pair of twin Snorunts doing their best to follow along without falling off the edge of the slide. The young man angles the slide down and hops off at the end, the spikes on his boots keeping him from falling as he hits the ice and continues to create the slide, sending the Pokemon sliding out over the frozen pond with squeals of delight. Now that the slide has been fully installed, the Pokemon--wild and Shoto's team alike--are all over it as Shoto stands by with a small amused smile.

Come join the party?]


[Mothra Attacks!]

[Shoto throws an arm out just before a blast of fire can hit him, a large ice wall going up between him and the attacking Volcarona. He hadn't meant to upset the giant bug Pokemon, he really hadn't, but here they were. Thankfully he had his team with him and he had his own powers...even if ice wasn't going to do him a whole lot of good right now.

Still.

The Bergmite scuttling about near Shoto's feet let out an indignant sound and Shoto scooped the odd little thing up as Polar and Castor both let out twin yips, the ice wall already starting to melt as the Volcarona attacked again.]

Right. Let's go.

[Time to see how fast they can slide down Mt. Ember on an ice slide! Care to join them?]


[Wildcard!]

Where there are Fire and Ice Pokemon, Shoto can be found! Feel free to throw any sort of prompt at me!

[schachmeister]

[Armin has seen a lot of strange things in his life (titans, people turning into titans, Shiro singing soft-rock love ballads in his underwear) but this? This is nothing like he has ever seen before. A human? Creating ice from their hands? It's just... it's incredible is what it is. Incredible and hard to believe. If he hadn't seen it happen right in front of his eyes, he would've found it hard to believe.

Belatedly, Armin recognises the other boy. They've never met in person, but they've talked a few times on the gear. He's the one who was interested in dual typed pokemon, wasn't he? Before he can call out to him though, one of the pokeballs on his belt gives a mighty tremble and the pokemon inside bursts forth in a beam of light. It's a little psyduck, who materialises onto the ice, a floppy wizard hat on his round head, before he promptly slips, going down onto his belly with a surprised psyyyy. ]

Ah, Newton!

Cecil Harvey |Final Fantasy IV: The After Years/Dissidia: Final Fantasy NT

[paladinlost]

[Are you perhaps in Celadon, perusing the department store's wares and trying to ignore the madness? What a coincidence, so is Cecil! Just like he's also in Cerulean. And Goldenrod. And Violet. And- Look, if you could cast Teleport again you might be tempted to enjoy it, too. Which is why Cecil keeps travelling from one city to the next, always armor-clad, always happy to use his other skills as necessary... and always followed by some of those strange new creatures.

Wherever he might happen to be when you meet him, as the weekend passes, his new followers grow in number, until nearly three dozens are at his side. By Sunday afternoon, after a 10th attempt to eat the armor off his body...]

Please, everyone. If you are truly hungry, I can buy you some sweets. Or a nice roast.

[Maybe this offer is open to everyone else, too?]

[exeggutorhead]

They're not going to listen, they're a bunch of menaces!

[Says a voice from up in the branches of a tree...which is one place where Envy has found the (in his opinion) creepy little blobs don't seem to feel like congregating.]

[Because look, when your past self died of mercury poisoning, anything that looks like that isn't going to be something you like.]

ellen ripley | aliens, post film

[nukeit]

a | the search

"Have you seen a little girl, about this tall, with blonde hair, who goes by Newt? She's just about seven. I'm also looking for a man named Dwayne Hicks. He might have said he was from the United States Colonial Marine Corps."

She's asking anyone she sees about Newt and Hicks, Ellen's lips tending toward a frown as the answers have been negative so far. At her side is a Solgaleo with an unnerving tendency to purr whenever someone looks at him directly--with a few notable exceptions with pokemon. Anything too closely analagous to insect-types, and also kabutops, have them instantly growling, Ellen telling them to please stop, cat. It seems to be what they need to hear, because they calm some when she reaches out to touch them with a baffled furrow of her brow, but they never relax until the offending pokemon are out of sight.

b | drinks are on me

Later, Ellen is sitting in the outside terrace of a cafe near a heating lamp. There are winter-ready trees standing nearby, little more than sticks, but the brisk air and the beautiful clouds in the brilliant blue skies have her in a decent mood.

There's an open seat and a to-go container of steaming hot beverage. Solgaleo had wandered off five minutes ago, and is now leading back someone tugging on their sleeve. Waste not, want not, and plus, Ellen could benefit from company, right?

Nevermind that they didn't ask if the person they're leading to the cafe wanted to come along. Solgaleo clearly knows what's what, and do you really want to argue with a giant celestial lion?

a

[sleepallthewayhome]

[Newt is busy travelling around this weird weekend and is starting to get used to ending up in weird places. However when she hears a very familiar voice she stops totally still. Ripley the Growlithe who is with her looks over to see what her trainer is looking at.]

Ripley?.....

[No way that isn't her. So I hope you enjoy a little girl running straight for you. Tears in her eyes. A worried looking Growlithe following behind.]

Mom!

[You're getting a giant hug tackle, Ripley. Luckily it's from a seven year old girl so you know, I think you're safe.]

victor nikiforov | yuri!!! on ice

[genice]

a | give a little bit

Victor stands with a Furfrou outside of a quaint little cafe, holding an amusingly magikarp shaped pastry in hand. He bites into it, eyes closing as he allows himself to taste the delicious delicacy and its sweet, but subtle, sugar and dough mixture. Still warm from the ovens, he can't remember having anything quite so enjoyable for at least a month.

His eyes fly open, sparkling with pleasure, and he addresses his pokemon companion with a smile. "Not-Makka, this is incredible! Can you even try things like this?"

The Furfrou blinks and wuffs at him, opening her mouth, and Victor complies with a mental shrug, feeding her a piece of his treat. She chews and swallows with a studied air, before barking and cavorting in a circle, apparently agreeing with his assessment.

Unfortunately in her glee, she goes barreling right into the legs of whoever's passing by: pokemon or person. Victor really should be offering to help, but in that initial moment, all he's doing is staring with wide eyes. Whoops.

b | give a little bit of my love to you

"... and this is when he was competing in Russia, which was before the Grand Prix Final in Barcelona," Victor says, showing two young women a video playing on his phone. Both of them are sporty trainers, bundled up and with hot beverages in hand after a morning out on the slopes. Both also seem very interested in what they're watching, grinning and gasping as the sounds of music and scraping blades on ice come out of the phone's speakers.

"That's so crazy!" one young woman says, lips pulling up into a grin. "How did he land that? How did he do that?"

"He's moving so fast!"

"He is, isn't he? Yuuri's strength has always been in his step sequences, but his jumps have been improving almost exponentially since the spring." Affection and pride are heavy in Victor's voice as he continues showing off Yuuri Katsuki's skating to any and all interested parties he can find. His Furfrou seems to be as interested, dancing around on her hind legs to try and watch along each time this scene repeats itself.

B!

[musicinmotion]

It's the dancing Furfrou that draws the attention of two other Pokemon before their trainer even realizes what's going on, the very fluffy and slightly smaller Furfrou loping over with a shivering little Snorunt clinging to his back--

or, well, the bandanna around his neck that is. It was better than nothing given the Snorunt's stubby little arms!

With a happy yip Vivi hopped around the other Furfrou slightly then attempted to mimic her though his attempt at dancing on his hind legs ended quite poorly as he stumbled backwards and flopped onto his back, sending his passenger falling into the snow as well. Vivi just let out a happy bark and rolled around while the Snorunt, Yuki, let out a distressed squeal.

"Vivi! Yuki!" And here comes their trainer looking very out of sorts as he trudges down the path, a bag slung over his shoulder. "Come back--"

Wait a moment.

"V-Victor??"

the nishigori triplets | yuri!!! on ice

[triplejumpers]

a | three times the fun (choose your adventure)

Be it known far and wide that the three Nishigori girls are all skating otaku, fans since before they really knew what it was to be a fan of much of anything. Axel, Loop, and Lutz can pick up on the fine details when watching live competitions, wait up with all the eagerness their mother might wish they'd reign in for announcements of placements, sneak online to find any functioning stream that'll let them watch the live events, and rattling off facts at the slightest opportunity. They're fascinated, and they're learning, too.

Let it not be said they can't be as enthusiastic over other things, including one of the most popular franchises they know has gone global (unlike many of those they know which remain mainstays in their home country): PokeMon. Pocket monsters, and in such a variety beyond anything they're aware of, the three of them can barely contain their boundless energy and curiosity.

They can be found scampering around, phones out alongside their gear, taking pictures of pokemon while a sky form Shaymin, a Dugtrio, and a Sneasel are close behind. In one instance, they're climbing a tree to photograph a nest full of Starlies with a Toucannon watching over them, giving the girls a narrow eyed glare.

Sometime after they're dancing along with a dozen Oricorios at a festival, wearing feather accessories. There's a basket of them nearby, and any of the three girls will approach people stopping to watch the Oricorio performances in order to give them feather headbands, bracelets, anklets, and necklaces.

Later, they're attempting to interview Arceus, one of them recording on their gear, another snapping still photographs, and a third taking lead on asking the questions. To Arceus's credit, they're handling it well, only seeming to be surprised when just as suddenly as they were entertaining questions without answering, they had one six year old hanging off the wheel-like spokes around its midsection. There's no betrayal going on here, so things should be fine... as long as this doesn't count as acting foolish.

After all, it's mostly a bunch of children wanting to ask if its hooves are real gold, how it has a wheel around its barrel, if it brushes its teeth, and a barrage of questions along lines that don't seem to have a particular end goal in sight.

Climbing a tree

[icecastlemadonna]

Since Yuuko somehow ended up in Blackthorn City with all the craziness going on, she's rushing to get back to the Mahogany rink and hoping she doesn't get fired. She's got Pokemon to feed, dammit. And she's already picked up another one on the way back, as there's a Swablu who's already made a nest in her backpack.

But even though she's in a hurry, she can still spot something suspiciously familiar in a tree up ahead. Normally she wouldn't dwell too much on it, but she'd recognize those shades of purple, light blue and pink anywhere. It couldn't possibly be...but she has to find out.

"Axel? Lutz? Loop? Is...that you?"

Katsuki Yuuri | Yuri!!! on Ice

[musicinmotion]

[Mahogany Town]

[It really shouldn't surprise anyone that knows him that of all the places he could have ended up, he ended up in the one city in this strange world that had an ice skating rink. Yuuri still didn't understand what in the world was going on or how he'd gotten here but he was definitely awake and the strange dog that was trotting along at his side certainly seemed to think he belonged with Yuuri. So for now he'd go with it.

After stopping and asking a few people about the city he was in, Yuuri managed to get a tip about an ice skating rink and made his way towards it. Vivi bound ahead once they were close enough and before Yuuri could utter a "Wait a minute!" the Furfrou was already gone and inside, leaving the young man to sigh and head in after him.

Vivi was out on the ice sliding around like it was his natural element and Yuuri fought the urge to groan as he headed out after the canine, foregoing skates as he sent apologetic looks towards some hockey players.]

Sorry! I'll have him out of the way in a moment!


[Shall we dance?]

[Yuuri had no idea what the festival was for but apparently it was a somewhat regular thing for this small town and honestly it was kind of fun. There were all sorts of small stands about and lots of interesting food to try and not to mention a lot of interesting Pokemon to see.

On top of that, there had been a fresh snowfall the night before so everything looked absolutely amazing.

With Vivi the Furfrou at his heels and his new companion Yuki the Snorunt bundled up in his arms, Yuri was wandering around the small festival when he found himself swept up in some of the dancing going on--despite his best protests.]

No, wait I--I'm really not much of a dancer! [Says the professional ice dancer and professional drunk dancer. Regardless he isn't going to veer away from the small gathering of dancers, especially since Vivi is prancing and leaping about joyfully.

Don't be surprised if the Furfrou knocks Yuuri into you though!]

Mahogany Town

[icecastlemadonna]

[Yuuko can hear some commotion from the hockey players from the front desk, so of course she'll head to the ice to see what's going on, with Besti the Pachirisu sitting on her shoulder. While she wasn't expecting to see a Furfrou sliding around, the person who's gone after him is even more of a surprise.]

Yuuri...?
