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!

[The omelet has both a use and a rational explanation; sadly, with all the chaos and excitement today, explaining them is not one of Cecil's priorites.]

You've no need to worry about that; I've plenty more left at home, and a decent discount at every store in the land besides. Consider it an apology for not being able to offer any other assistance, without my magic.

[He looks at his right hand with a small wince.]

Luckily, even with the fighting and the general destruction, you'll not have to deal with cases of people you cannot save. I suppose that's better than nothing.

[Magic?

And yeah. This conversation got a bit too deep a bit too fast. Deal with people he cannot save. Hoooo~ That's too heavy. He's never put too much thought into that to begin with despite being a surgeon. People who are meant to die will die. And those that are meant to be saved will be. He doesn't let that kinda thing get him down.]


Yeah. It sure is. Are you some kind of doctor too? [He mentioned magic so he'll take a shot in the dark.] A healer? [That sounds geeky to say but he wouldn't be surprised if that's what it was considering some of the characters he's met so far.]
paladinlost: (err)

[Hey, Cecil's just trying to explain that 'no one ever dies' rule and its advantages, along with the way it greatly improves their current situation.

...In a manner that explains absolutely nothing, but oh well.]


I can heal minor injuries, but I'm not nearly talented enough to call my self a healer. Even if I could use it, teleporting people with sprained ankle to you would be a better use of my time. That, or crushing those visitors alongside my team.

[Which is more or less the plan for the rest of the evening, really.]
seasalthands: (the doctor is in)

Don't sell yourself short. Being a glorified band aid isn't anything to sneeze at. And besides, minor injuries can become something really serious if you're not careful. Healing people is healing people, you know?

Anyway, I haven't been here long enough to be any use in the fighting department. So healing minor injuries, splinting broken bones or just punching a skull guy in the face, we're all doing what we can. Everyone's doing what they can do.

[Christ, he's sounding like his mother more and more every day. And if that's not a horrific revelation he doesn't know what is.]
paladinlost: (cute)

[personal profile] paladinlost 2016-11-17 12:00 am (UTC)(link)
Haha, you have a point. One rare thing we all have in common, it seems, is our willingness to do what we can. It was the same whenever Team Rocket attacked, and when Teams Aqua and Magma nearly destroyed the world.

[The fondness in his voice is replaced by mild confusion as he stares at a building covered in grafitti.]

...Though I must say than plans to control Pokémon and change the nature of the world are easier to understand and deal with than... this. Why would a criminal group bother with harmless littering?
seasalthands: (kira has a billion blank expressions)

Well... I wouldn't go that far.

[He's learning a bit. There have been other teams like this. They were clearly much worse than this. Whatever this is... He's still not one hundred percent sure. No one seems to be.]

I don't really have any answers but I guess this is better than dealing with, um, world domination... I mean. Better this than something worse, you know? I'll take it.

Saving the world sounds like an endless amount of trouble. I'm a doctor and all and helping people is in the job description and all but there are limits. I'm not a saint. [He barely qualifies as a decent person despite what he does on the day to day. At least he's aware of being that way.]
