HALLOWEEN 2016: Team Skull Log

Who: Everyone who wants to join a team!
Where: Goldenrod City!
When: October 31st!
Summary: Team Skull's planned a full-fledged assault on Goldenrod; join up with a team and take them down!
Rating: Will vary from thread to thread. Warn for common triggers if something comes up.
Log:

It's been three days since Guzma's made his first announcement over the radio, but try as the police might, no one's been able to get to him since; after making his call to arms, asking all available Skulls to come to Goldenrod to have some fun, he seems to have completely dropped off without a trace. But Candela isn't concerned much about that. She's been at this for long enough to know the song and dance; this is a pivotal spot, after all, and Guzma will be back here before long, probably with more than enough cronies to go around. When that happens, they'll head him off at the pass. Easy as that. He's gotta get orders out to the people outside, after all, and the only place he can do that is here.

He won't take it over a second time. Team Valor will make sure of that.

Meanwhile, outside the tower, Blanche would like to think she has a bit more control of the situation. Candela had been so gung-ho on kicking Guzma's ass in the tower that Blanche almost didn't have the heart to tell her that there was probably an ambush waiting in there for her. ...Rather, she tried, but Candela has a way of being far too stubborn for her own good...in any case, if she needs backup, she's out here to provide it, but if there are going to be riots and messes in the streets, its better to be out here where the damage is going to be at its highest, just to stop it before it starts. Already, Team Skull is starting to come out in small hordes, and it won't be long before things start to get hectic out here. Team Mystic, though, is dedicated towards stopping this before it gets a chance to start. ...But perhaps they'd be taken a bit more seriously if Candela and Spark hadn't forced her to dress up for Halloween--

Speaking of Spark, of course, Team Instinct's leader seems to have his priorities in order; if there are going to be riots and debris in the streets, some of the wild Pokemon in the area might just get hurt, and that will never do! So Spark has taken it on himself to lead a search-and-rescue charge with Team Instinct--any stray Pokemon in the Goldenrod area should be either captured or brought straight to a Pokemon Center ASAP! The goal is not to leave even one behind! ...Of course, Team Skull is a problem, too, but won't somebody think of the Pokemon--

You're free to NPC any Team Skull grunts and Pokemon interactions yourselves, but Team Valor will have the chance to battle Guzma, and Team Mystic will have the chance to battle Plumeria! Please be patient with responses in these threads; if the boss's Pokemon start to become too weak, they'll end up making a tactical retreat!

One last thing: you're all encouraged to have your character in costume for an event like this, and your team leaders will be dressed in costume, too! If three or more characters in costume participate in a thread together, a miracle might occur, and the Legendary Bird corresponding with your team has a chance to appear at your discretion! This applies in battles with Guzma and Plumeria, as well!

Have fun and Happy Halloween!

[Krieg may not be very good at a lot of things, but when it comes to the things he is good at? He's very good.]

Mngh...Skulls're like Rats. Clear out one nest and step in two more.

[He pauses, gaze flicking from Athena, to her Pokemon, then over to Murder Chicken, and then back to Athena.]

Not fair to the monsters, though.

[Murder Chicken has taken on a lot of Skull Pokemon this evening, and it's not hard for Krieg to see that most of the Blaziken's opponents' hearts are not in the fight. Pokemon battles against willing opponents are one thing. He can get into those, just fine. But cock fights where one of the fighters doesn't actually want to fight? Krieg's not down for that. It leaves a bad taste in his mouth.]

Are you really surprised, though?

[This Team Skull may not even compare to the dirt on the boots of Hyperion and Atlas, but considering how relatively peaceful everyone on this planet seems, they do seem to pose a noticeable threat right now.]

No matter what planet you're on, those seeking control will always do it while forcing the unwilling to do their dirty work for them.

[Bitter? Athena? Nah of course not wherever would you get that idea. It's not like these people are kidnapping children or anything...]

Mngh.

[He grunts, a wordless sound of agreement, and twitches his gaze back to Murder Chicken. The Blaziken is in very little danger of being stolen - between MC's own physical strength and feelings on the subject, and Krieg's absolute willingness to engage the pokemon thieves directly (he's distributed more than a few black eyes tonight, among other things), the likelihood of his little buddy being chicken-napped is very small. That's not the case for other people's pokemon, though, which is upsetting. Krieg's defended more than a few weak trainers and their partners so far tonight.]

They're trying to take the monsters that don't belong to them.

[She may not have any emotional connection to the people here, but that... it's not quite the same, but it's an uncomfortable parallel. Enough that she doesn't like the idea of the grunts continuing to do that.

(Or maybe that's what she's telling herself. Anyone who knows Athena knows she's more protective than even she'd want to admit.)

So she just cracks her knuckles, ignoring the faint sparks of pain as she pushes against still-healing skin.]


I don't know about you, but it might be a good idea to take them back. What do you think?

[He laughs in response to her question, a deep rumble of manic amusement low in his throat.]

Mnhahaha...I think you're right!

[Team Skull beware, there's now a badass pair of Vault Hunters out for your blood.]

Fighting's always more fun with friends!

[As far as Krieg is concerned, anyway. Athena's free to disagree.]

[Athena would actually agree! Sure, most of her bounty hunting was done solo, but that was only really because she didn't want any word of it finding its way back to Janey. Other than that? The Elpis mission, the Gortys mission, her mission against Atlas... despite her rather abrasive personality, Athena actually prefers to work with people.]

Just make sure we get the information on the trainers they stole from before they can't talk anymore.

Mngh...Fine. I'll hold them down. You can talk.

[Or hit, he's not picky. She's probably better than he is at hitting with the intent to keep the target conscious, anyway.]

Usually it's the other way around, but I can do that.

[It might be easy for some Pandorans to understand what a psycho is saying as he screams at you an inch away from your face, but that... probably wouldn't help when interrogating people from this planet...]
fuelthefire: (SHUT-SHUT-SHUT-SHUT UP!)

[personal profile] fuelthefire 2016-11-16 02:18 am (UTC)(link)
Mnahahahaha! I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship!

[Maybe one day Krieg can get a day job as a film- and pop culture-quoting Psycho. It probably won't be very lucrative but at least it'd be entertaining!

They've got things settled now, though, so clearly the next step is to head over the Radio Tower where all the Skulls seem to be swarming. He starts striding, knowing that Murder Chicken will be following close behind and trusting Athena to keep up.]

[That... actually makes Athena pause. This whole friendship thing is still kind of weird to her, so for him to just throw it out like that... well. It makes the pause pretty noticeable before she nods.]

Right. [She turns to her Doublade, Axew, and Growlithe.] Let's move out, everyone.

[Always the soldier, huh..]
