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!

[He looks at a Skull grunt a little ways ago. Really takes in the guy's whole look and ridiculous outfit.]

I think they'd do better if they didn't actually try. Just... a lot less trying would be one hell of an improvement.

...Maybe they're just trying to be annoying. In which case, uh... mission accomplished.

...that would explain literally everything that's happened here so far, I think.

It'd be great if that was the case. Then they'd probably just go away if we all ignored them.
bloodisthicker: instrumentality hooooo (let's gendo ikari this shit)

...they'd make a terrible mess, though, and do you know how much money that costs to clean up? I'd hate to be anyone on Goldenrod City Council right now.

Oh, yeah, I'm sure it sucks to be them right now. Still, there's way worse things than just cleanup costs.

Well, true enough. It could definitely be much worse. I've seen what groups like this can do when they're actually halfway competent and have a coherent goal in mind.

Kinda fits with everything else here, really... The whole planet's surprisingly safe, sorta figures even the criminals wouldn't be that bad.
bloodisthicker: all gooey and undercooked in the middle (half-baked as shit)

[if only they knew about cyrus

and ghetsis

and lysandre

and]


You're definitely right about that. At least that's a small mercy in the grand scheme of things.

[Wow yeah let's just not think about all those guys. Geez.]

Yeah. There's plenty of weird, freaky stuff here to worry about, but the criminals don't really make the list.

At least not these ones. Just... wow. Some of this is just sad. Maybe it's just because of what I'm used to.

Yes, I've definitely dealt with a lot worse myself. We definitely had criminals like this where I'm from, but... we had worse criminals to compare them to.
