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!

Is that so...

[ At this point, it seems less like luck and a little more like she saw this coming...but she keeps that to herself.

Still, though, Chansey seems to love the attention, and now it's definitely big enough for cuddles, so the big cutie wraps its little stubs around Kaori for a hug! Much easier than before, where the most it could do was probably snuggle against her leg... ]


I finally managed to get my hands on an Oval Stone for her. But the next step to evolve her is, apparently, through making my bond with her as strong as possible, and, well, you know how I feel about that...

[ It seems like she might be stuck as a Chansey for a while. Still, though, she isn't surprised when she takes charge...Asuka goes along for the ride, at the least. She wouldn't really know where everything is, since, well... ]

I'd prefer if we made this quick. Never liked hospitals much.

[If only she could stay like this for a bit longer hugging Chansey...! Happiny really has grown up since the last time they met.]

I know, I know. But are you sure you're not thinking into it a bit too much? I'm pretty sure you two will work it out in no time.

[This is just her hunch as she has no idea how long this could take, especially if Asuka is going to make it way more difficult that it actually is.]

No need to tell me, hospitals are the absolute worst. We'll grab those potions really quick and go back. [Then, she murmurs to herself:] It looks way more friendly than that other hospital...
crimsonchin: (just explain it to me?)

...You think so, huh? I mean, in truth, it's not as though she's the one with the problem. It's...well, I don't know if I totally buy it, is all. The whole "making friends makes you stronger" nonsense, it sounds like it's out of some children's book, doesn't it? "The frog turned into a prince because she loved him so much," or some shit like that...

[ Saccharine fairytales like that have no place in her worldview.

Asuka's got good hearing, though, so she at least catches that last part. ]


Let me guess, you were in and out of them a lot? You seem like the type of child who'd jump off of things a lot and have to get stitches...

Who's the frog in this tale, I wonder...

[The playful smile Kaori offers her must suffice, because she's not going to give Asuka an answer.]

Mostly in, to be honest. But that's a long story...a long story you don't want to hear here. We can talk later, though. Now, where are those bandages...

[Kaori has just opened the door to the storage room and peeked inside only to see lots of boxes, some of them open but that doesn't help much—none of them contains either potions or bandages.]
crimsonchin: a simple "right or wrong" (This part of me that wants)

[personal profile] crimsonchin 2016-11-06 05:52 pm (UTC)(link)
If you don't shut that mouth of yours, you'll croak, so, I think the only frog I see here is you.

[ Without even missing a beat. Still, scouring through all of these takes only a few seconds...she's always been pretty good at taking inventory, so she's learned to go through boxes quick. ]

I don't think we'll find them in here. They're probably in short supply...we might have to look elsewhere.
melodlies: (Only for you I’d gather the stars)

That's exactly what a frog would say.

[It's time for a classy comeback.]

If you say so...let's check the other room!

[Kaori doesn't even wait for Asuka to follow her, just goes ahead to check the neighboring room...

...and walks into a Team Skull Grunt wrapped in bandages. He probably wanted to be a mummy this Halloween.]
