Party type: Christmas

Who: Everyone!
Where: Silph Co. Headquarters, Saffron City
When: Dec 16th
Note: 1. For those who lack the means to travel there, Silph Co. has arranged transport.
2. As this is a Type: Null party, the only pokemon allowed inside will be Type: Nulls (and Silvally). Nothing wrong with other pokemon, but this is meant to shine a special spotlight on a special pokemon.
Log:



It looks like Silph Co. has gone all out for this Christmas party!

The large room is cheerfully decorated with all sorts of holiday-themed decorations -- strings of lights, a tree, Santa's jolly face plastered everywhere, the works!

(No mistletoe though. Nobody wants to deal with the potential fall-out of that.)

Large buffet tables line one end of the room, covered in all manner of food and drinks. There are huge trays of cookies -- both Christmas and Type: null themed! --, cakes, candy-canes and gingerbread. In short, everything you need to eat yourself into a holiday-themed sugar coma. The drinks don't disappoint either. There is soda and water, of course; but there are also plenty of more winter-themed drinks such as hot choco, a wide variety of teas, and for the adults, mulled wine, eggnog and cider.

One corner of the room has been given over to (a) Santa's reign. Why not come and have your pokemon meet ol' Jolly Nick himself? Every pokemon that does will get a small gift -- either something nice to eat or a small toy. And there is a complimentary photo too, taken by a smiling Silph Co employee. It'll make a nice memento!

The rest of the room is mostly empty; there are some tables and chairs for those needing to sit for a spell, but mostly, it's an open area so everybody can mingle and move around. And so all the collected Type: Nulls have the room to move about without knocking into furniture. Some can be a little... clumsy, after all.

Along one wall, there is an opened door with a sign above it that says 'Meet A New Friend.' Going through, there is a second, smaller room with several cheery Silph Co. employees and a couple of Type: Nulls up for adoption. If you don't already have a Type: Null, why not take this opportunity to meet a few of the good boys and girls, and perhaps you'll make a new friend!

Oh....

[Huh.] ...You could probably learn by going, maybe? ...For me at least...even though I've seen some of the stuff here in books, or on TV, most of what I've seen in the stores is honestly pretty new. ...But if you don't take a look, you won't get the chance to learn, right? ...At the start, most things might seem foreign, and strange but...

...I think it's neat to start figuring things out after a while.

[Even back home, she was a country bumpkin. Now she was from the 500s(ish) and still a country bumpkin. Her childhood home didn't even have indoor plumbing. This place had so many weird things.]

TV... That's the picture box? [Oh, she'd seen them. She knew a thing, see?]

Yeah! [Hey, he won't judge!] There's a lot of neat stuff that shows up on them, even if I don't always have time to watch...normally I'm on the road in a tent after all.

[Solemn(?) nodding.]

...I prefer that. It's too loud in the towns here. It's nicer in the forests.
seacub: (: ' D)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-03-08 07:53 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah...

...I didn't get to see anything like this at home- just...a lot of concrete, so it's nice to experience it as much as I can!

...even if I keep attracting ghosts...

[There were opposites! Because even in Shinganshina, she'd been overwhelmed by all the stone buildings. It was all very different to the little wood cabin she'd grown up in.]

The dead things? [Yep, that's what ghosts are.]

[Emporio never left One concrete building though- and really, what's a literal prison to an unknown prison in the form of walls and titans? Well, there's a lot of differences, but anyway]

Sort of. Not all ghost pokemon are actually dead. ...Though some definitely are.

[Just, her face. The little scrunched up nose.]

I got told that one are kids that died in the forest.

Oh! Phantump!

[Said with alarming casualness.] I sometimes wonder if that origin is why Trevenant are the way they are...

Phantump evolve into Trevenant, [Emporio explains, before going on.] They're supposedly fearsome...but more importantly, they're protectors of the woods, taking care of the pokemon and plants in their area!

[................Realizing he might have been rambling a bit, he coughs.]

Erm. Anyway...the one I was talking about was Yamask actually; they carry burial masks representing the faces of their past lives. The one I have was...a chef I guess? ...We won third place at a cooking contest together, but I don't remember most of the contest...

[............oh he was possessed...]

[Mikasa didn't know the names. She'd just heard that it was a thing that existed. Mostly because Yachi liked to be prepared and read through the pokedex to see what they might encounter in the forest. Normally, she regretted that decision. So many nightmares, that Mikasa was completely impervious too.]

...There's more than one? [A second.] There are cooking contests for pokemon?

[And here she had to stop some of her's from eating dirt.]
seacub: (AND NOW A PIPE TOO??)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-03-22 01:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah! And....well. Kind of?

It's more accurate to say there's a couple who really enjoy setting up contests to do with pokemon. This one just happened to be one for cooking.

[This is why Mikasa mostly lived in the woods. Only coming to town to get things or when Yachi brought her.]

Isn't that what the gyms are for?
seacub: (AND NOW A PIPE TOO??)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-03-29 09:02 am (UTC)(link)
[The by gives a bit of a laugh.] Not really...

Gyms focus on battles- the contests are for...pretty much anything else. ...it would be neat if the gyms did more than that though...

['Anything else'?]

Are there any other things?
seacub: (: ' D)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-03-31 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Sure! There's races, there's dancing...pokemon don't just fight after all, right?
wrappedwarm: (pic#14917229)

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-04-03 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I've seen them carrying things in shops. Even though people could do that... They do a lot.

[She really didn't get why people had jobs when pokemon could do most of the same jobs and didn't need paying.]
seacub: (AND NOW A PIPE TOO??)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-04-05 07:54 am (UTC)(link)
I think it's a matter of working together? I normally see them doing that at least...
wrappedwarm: (pic#14917227)

[personal profile] wrappedwarm 2022-04-06 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe, I don't get why they help people though. They seem smarter than animals sometimes...

[What was doing something out of kindness and not for profit?]
seacub: (AND NOW A PIPE TOO??)

[personal profile] seacub 2022-04-08 01:19 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe they just...want to?

[Emporio isn't That familiar with the idea, but he knows it exists at least. Somehow. Somehow, it exists.]
