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!

Dude, what was that?

Goodness, didn't you know? This area is haunted - by human ghosts. [Ghost Pokemon and monster ghosts aren't usually considered scary, but human ones are? This is his understanding.] They do not like having the streets disturbed. Like this, for example.
better2do: (It was thiiiiiiiis big!)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-05 11:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Human ghosts?! Bro, we can't fight human ghosts, what do we do?!

[Flappy's approaching a bit faster now, spreading his wings menacingly as an Ominous Wind picks up to swirl around him and the Grunts.]

TURN BACK!
journalname: (🔱 bright)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-06 05:34 am (UTC)(link)
Oh no! It's the human ghost!

[Asgore does his best to look frightened, nudging Splash as he does so. Seedy cowers into his beard, and Jam shrinks down a little, but the only real Gyarados in the party does nothing but look annoyed.

Well, no matter.]


Dude! RUN!
better2do: (You proud of me?)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-06 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
[AND OFF THEY GO

It's actually pretty satisfying to see the grunts scatter like that. Even Flappy looks pleased as the Ominous Wind dissipates and he floats over to land in front of Asgore. It's now very plain to see that Asriel is clinging to Flappy's back, the hood of his Plusle costume pushed back and Gracie perched in his hair like always.]


Dad!

[And off he hops from Flappy to run forward and just. Give Asgore a hug. HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT YOU DAD]
journalname: (🔱 laughter)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-07 05:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Asgore laughs aloud, picking Asriel up in a hug. He wasn't really concerned at all about any of that, to be honest, but it still turned out so much better than expected.]

Asriel! That was so clever!
better2do: (What a view!)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-07 02:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[Nope, goatson will forever worry about his dad, that is a thing that'll always happen.]

Yeah, I didn't wanna hurt 'em, but I didn't want 'em to hurt you - and it's Halloween, so, it's good to be spooky!
journalname: (🔱 twilit)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-08 12:10 am (UTC)(link)
[nooooooooo he's supposed to worry about you]

Well done! They're being very reckless, but I do not think they mean any real harm. [That's a sunny way of looking at it, but also he's been through wars, so] I'm glad to see you again - we should stick closer tonight. Do you know where Frisk went?
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (are you okay?)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-08 02:17 am (UTC)(link)
[Honestly they've both seen some shit and have the right to worry about each other.]

I think they're at the Pokemon Center. We were bringin' the loose Pokemon in the city there.
journalname: (🔱 new growth)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-08 04:18 am (UTC)(link)
[He smiles.]

I've been doing the same! I hardly knew there were so many of them living wild in the city - let's go back, and the three of us can all work together.
better2do: (Don't worry about me)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-08 01:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay!

[And, out of instinct, Asriel just. Takes his Dad's hand. He knows things...aren't going to ever be like they were when he was younger, but. He likes working with Asgore to help people. He likes...not being a Flowey.]
journalname: (🔱 royalty)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-10 11:40 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asgore nearly dies a little, but that happens most times he interacts with Asriel now tbh. It's becoming a little more normal over time, but...still.]

None of your Pokemon are hurt, are they? We can rest for a while at the Center if we need to.
better2do: (This way!)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-11 01:29 am (UTC)(link)
[Flappy's just gonna toddle along behind them and make sure they're safe.]

They're okay. We're not gettin' into any battles.

[He really isn't used to being so free and easy with his Dad but it feels so nice, it's intimidating but wonderful.]
journalname: (🔱 thrown shadows)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-11 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
Good, good. We have only had a little trouble ourselves - Splash and Jam make an intimidating pair.

[Having a Ditto is basically the same thing as a second Gyarados, right?]
better2do: (sweet precious goat child)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-11 02:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Basically it is.]

Eheh, that's good! They can scare away the bad guys easy!
journalname: (🔱 an old friend)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-12 07:20 am (UTC)(link)
We have hardly had to get into any fights! They just have to hang back when we find injured Pokemon - they are frightened enough already.
better2do: (Take a deep breath)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-13 12:05 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, and if they're back, it's better to protect the hurt Pokemon from bad guys.

[They can be intimidating to grunts and not to scared friends.]
journalname: (🔱 uncertainty)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-13 04:03 am (UTC)(link)
Does anyone know where these people came from? They appeared so suddenly.
better2do: (just forget me)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-13 07:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[Asriel shakes his head.] I dunno. I think some people were talkin' about 'em on the network thing, but...
journalname: (🔱 twilight shines)

[personal profile] journalname 2016-11-14 12:36 am (UTC)(link)
Well, perhaps I can find a few calmer ones to speak with later. I'm sure they can be reasoned with.
better2do: icon by me, in-game art (i'm so afraid)

[personal profile] better2do 2016-11-14 01:26 am (UTC)(link)
[He takes Asgore's hand into both of his.]

Okay Dad.

[If not, he will scare them away again, as many times as he has to.]
