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?

Aww, thanks! I think I'm good for now though.

When you say "Here" do you mean like, here here, in these ruins, or just here, in general?

[ghoststanning]

No problem! It's pretty hard to get horribly lost here at least.

Right now the Ruins- it seems like a good place to look if you ask me! These are clearly the remains of an old civilization, so it's likely this place would be ripe with ghosts!

[colorpalatable]

Yeah, it definitely has that going for it.

[Something's puzzling her, though:]

You said you've already explored these ruins a lot? Have you been though the whole thing? You haven't found any ghosts yet?

[In her experience, once ghosts find a place they like, they tend to stay there. If he hasn't found any here yet, then there probably aren't any here.]

[ghoststanning]

Well I'll admit it's not a great sign, but were more focused on solving the mysteries on the ruins proper, rather than ghosts. It's entirely possible that we entirely missed them; especially if they didn't want to be seen.

Plus the additional energy might be able to draw in spirits!

Okay, fair.

And if nothing else, I'm pretty sure I saw a stack of Ouija boards in the camp. Worse comes to worse, we can bust out some of those bad boys and see if we can get anybody to talk to us that way.
