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!

I suppose I should have expected no less from you.

*really though after all this time that's still your number one priority?*
tearsofademon: (you would add this child's blood)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-04 02:24 am (UTC)(link)
[...okay to be honest it's largely about a sense of normalcy more than anything

fighting the grunts any other way means admitting in front of Rose that things are more different than he'd like to admit

(...okay maybe it's not just about admitting it in front of Rose)]


Just like I shouldn't have expected anything less than this from you?

[motioning toward the costumes and being very :|

he may have eventually let you been forced into this, but g o s h]
dreamsofahero: (blah blah blah)

It's in the spirit of the holiday, Ryner.

*and you look good in it*
tearsofademon: (when our tale was begun)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-07 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, uh, last time I "got in the spirit of the holiday" or whatever, I think it scarred Rose for life.

[or at least sparked a rivalry that's still going four years later]
dreamsofahero: (generic back of head shot)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-07 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
That was because there was a ghost pokemon involved, you know.

*Sion picked out and assembled these costumes himself okay*
tearsofademon: (strolling by the Seine)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-07 05:11 am (UTC)(link)
I know. Doesn't make it less of a thing that happened.

[though this is more words about what happened than he usually speaks, so... progress?]

At least this year is more of a small pain than anything. No legendary weather gods messing with things, no mystery castle things to get lost in, none of the mess that was last year...
dreamsofahero: (sigh)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-07 05:48 am (UTC)(link)
It is almost an improvement, isn't it?
tearsofademon: (a guy so swell)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-09 03:07 am (UTC)(link)
Right? It's the most normal October... I'm pretty sure ever, here.

[if he's gathered when people got here right, and counting 'the music was messed up' as weirder than dumb vandals with a skull motif]
dreamsofahero: (blah blah blah)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-12 09:11 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not certain whether I should feel relieved or concerned, really.
tearsofademon: (morning in Paris)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-13 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
Well, I mean, I dunno about you, but I'm not about to go giving this world ideas by looking for a catch.
dreamsofahero: (slightly exasperated)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-18 06:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well, it's not as though I had anything in mind beyond a vague concern.
tearsofademon: (strolling by the Seine)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-19 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
Good, good. Vague concern isn't enough for it to use, probably.
dreamsofahero: (awkward)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-20 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
One would certainly hope not.
tearsofademon: (and he saw corruption)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-20 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
Right.

...But seriously though. Next time, let's not do the costumes thing.
dreamsofahero: (glancing up)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-27 07:27 pm (UTC)(link)
You really dislike it that much...?

*he thought it'd be fun :/*
tearsofademon: (when our tale was begun)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-28 12:21 am (UTC)(link)
It's not that I dislike this one in particular? If we weren't in a situation with a lot of fighting, maybe it'd be okay for playing with the Pokemon or something. But the mask is a pain to see out of, and the rest of it is a pain to move in.
dreamsofahero: (pondering)

[personal profile] dreamsofahero 2016-11-29 02:37 am (UTC)(link)
Really? It doesn't seem so bad to me...

*he certainly doesn't have much of a problem with either of those things in his, especially since his pokemon are the ones who need to do most the moving anyway*
tearsofademon: (and some say)

[personal profile] tearsofademon 2016-11-29 04:27 am (UTC)(link)
Well of course you'd think so. You're the one who decided on this.

[he's complaining for the sake of complaining, mostly

besides you have noticed him going in and kicking groins, right...?]
