Log:


Been to the Ruins of Alph before? Are you an old hat at this stuff? Well turn everything you thought you knew UPSIDE DOWN because EVERYTHING. IS DIFFERENT NOW.

… Or at least, that’s what the flyers being passed out under a canopy of cheap Celebi balloons that are bobbing around in the breeze say.

One thing’s for sure, there sure are a lot more tents than normal. By the time most of you casuals get there, the entire picnicking area, usually quite spacious, has been turned into a small tent city. And the excited atmosphere is palpable.

The crackle of the Ruin Rangers’ walkie-talkies mingles with that of the ghost-hunting equipment toted around by excited Hex Maniacs, burbling Unown are drifting here and there to blink curiously at all the new people and Pokemon suddenly on their turf, and chatter from Legend Seekers of all ages (really, of ALL ages-- everyone from Youngsters to Veterans have apparently been swept up in the Seeker-mania!) rings out as stories and speculations are swapped.

There’s lots to do, plenty to explore, and (according to word on the grapevine), more than enough spooky rituals to perform once the night falls.

Will you solve some tile puzzles and fall into an underground chamber? Stick to the main group and make s’mores? Befriend a floating letter (or twenty-four)? Go directly against the advice of the tired-looking Rangers and play One Man Hide-and-Seek in the dark?

Or, most importantly, will you start a small-scale riot in order to keep the loud static boxes away from the tents where you’re trying to sleep?

[He's getting used to the name again, shifting from one name to another. He no longer takes a beat to recognize the name, and as he approaches he salutes her loosely.]

Hey there, Annie. [Really, this man should have a ridable pokemon by now. He does not. So he gets to ride a goat with his friend. He's being followed by Orin the Espurr, who is not as polite as the Absol and starts staring. Drifter's Seviper, Fortune, is following as well, just acordion-moving along the ground since she can't slither properly. She gets to provide some additional protection during their trip.]

[Drifter's used to travelling light. His bag is mostly food and a couple of changes of clothes.] Glad I still got a sense of direction and didn't get too lost. Wouldn't want to keep you waitin'.

[Man Liberia is damn tall.] Will she be upset if I just hop up on there?

[lyingheart]

[ Annie comes back down to sit, noting Orin and the Seviper before looking back to Drifter. She reaches out, one hand wrapping lightly around Libera's horn, and the Gogoat tipped her head back and snorted, tail flicking. ]

She'll be okay. Just don't jump around once you're up here.

[ Which she's clearly not thinking he's in danger of actually doing. Hooking a thumb over her shoulder to where her things are packed on and tied down to the saddle, she nods. ]

More ties there if you want to use them.

I'll keep that in mind. I wouldn't want to meet the bad end of those horns. I know from certain helmets those things hurt. Ha...

[A lot of armor in his world has horns, it's really hard to describe how painful those can be. He straps on his pack and crawls onto the Gogoat's back, hauling himself up and then giving Annie a warning pat on her shoulders because he doesn't want to get chucked off for putting his hands on her waist.]

[He gets thrown by women sometimes but he really prefers to have provoked it and fully deserve it.]

So what do you know about these legendaries already?
