Who: Loop + You
What: Evolution, psychic Pokemon, the perils of snomstorms!Half of everyone Loop knows in One Single Building!
Where: Goldenrod City
When: Early December for text post; December 14-16 storm for action
Warnings: Nothing specific, just the usual chance of Loop's warnings coming up in threads!
[Text, early December]
I got told about evolution, so I was expecting one of my Pokemon to change shape eventually, but.
Did I just miss hearing the part where they start beaming images into your head?
[Orrery has discovered telepathy! Let's not talk about how long it took Orrery to get Loop to realize it was her.]
[Snomstorm! Goldenrod, between Dec 14th-16th]
[A]
[So it's a good thing Loop went and caught a fire Pokemon recently, because the vending machines at their inn (motel?) are both de-powered and emptied to the last dregs. Loop's had to emerge from the depths of their room to get groceries. And in the fifteen minutes they've been outside, slogging through the snow and trying to find a place that's open despite the power outage...]
[Their Metang has somehow managed to get herself frozen to a fence. Loop is currently trying to coax their new Cyndaquil - who is draped over their bag - to wake up and melt her free.]
[They like naps as much as anyone else, but:] Come on, you've barely been awake for five minutes since yesterday...
[Orrery, meanwhile, is letting out a baffled whirring sound. She's not used to having arms or being so big, and apparently she generates JUST enough heat to slowly melt snow, then get stuck when she touches something colder and it refreezes. Like someone licking a metal pole. But she only has one arm stuck, and surely she can use the other one to lever herself free?]
[- whoops, no, now she has both of them stuck.]
[B]
[Or maybe it's a bit later, and Loop is ducking under the eaves of the Game Corner next to you. Why? To avoid a sudden shower of falling Snoms from the roof! The surprisingly heavy bugs thump into the snow like little icy missiles, whizzing by terrifyingly close.]
[C]
[Or, as the snow has intensified and REALLY started to pile up, you've found yourself completely turned around! (Unless you know exactly where you are, and you're actually looking for someone or something else? Did one of your Pokemon run out into the storm, maybe?)]
[Whatever the reason you're out, it seems like there's a fire flickering in the distance - if you approach, you'll find Loop, shivering and holding their Cyndaquil to their chest. Burnoît, fortunately, seems to have woken up and figured out what Loop wants! The lil guy is flaming a path through the snow.]
[(For once in their life, Loop has returned Orrery to her ball.)]
[Wildcard!]
As usual, happy to figure something else out, just DM or Plurk me!

wow... doppio is canonically weak to scissors... amazing
You really did have a type???
heckin RIP
Did you really not have one??
no subject
no subject
Maybe
Maybe where you come from humans only have one type?? There's more types here than where I come from
no subject
I just don't think there's types over where I'm from
[......
wait a second
stands have types
...]
Wait so what kinds of types did your world have?
no subject
Rock, Paper, and Scissors
Those were the ones people could have, anyway.
no subject
What does that MEAN???
no subject
[Oh, was Doppio asking about the Rock/Paper/Scissors types? Nothing weird about those, definitely not!]
no subject
[1/2]
[They don't know what to tell you Doppio! It's very straightforward!]
[2/2]
Uh. It's also called Piercing Craft, sometimes
It has to do with sharp or pointy things, or going fast, or tearing through things... or getting to the heart of a problem. Editing things down or cutting them into smaller pieces. Simplifying stuff and being direct, I guess?
[They're really not good at putting this into words. It wasn't of particular interest to them or something they spent time thinking about, it just... was.]
...but if you're fighting with it, mostly sharp things and going fast.
no subject
The explanation does bring back unpleasant memories, but that aside -]
I think I kind of get it?
Sharp and fast strikes...
Would "Rock" be more about raw power, then?
no subject
And Paper Craft is Creative Craft. It's about figuring out new approaches, changing how things work. Or maybe just making new things in general?
[Oddly non-fighty descriptions!]
no subject
So when you say people have these "types", does that mean something like...
It's what they do best?
no subject
People argue about whether it affects your personality too, or just your Craft skills. Like with craftology.
no subject
You mean it's also like a zodiac sign or something?
no subject
Is that also a TV thing?
no subject
no subject
[...]
[Are "zodiac signs" types then?]
no subject
We have horoscopes too... and they're definitely fake
But ours are based on constellations?
It's something like...
There's 12 of them, and you get assigned one of them based on the star you're born under...
Or something.
no subject
So what the Universe decided for you, based on when and where you were born...?
Even if they're still fake, that makes a lot more sense than horoscopes based on type.
[Does it though, Loop??]
I wonder if this place has horoscopes too. [What would Pokemon land horoscopes be based on?]
no subject
I don't like horoscopes anyway. They might be fake but there's still something kinda...
ominous about them?
me, looking at King Crimson's wiki entry and going "teehee"
I mean, if they weren't fake, it'd be kind of terrible to really know the future, wouldn't it? If you always knew pretty much what was going to happen, or how other people were going to react, it'd be like being stuck in a play.
teehee!!!
At least nobody's getting hurt in a play.
But imagine knowing something awful's about to happen and there's nothing you can do to change it!
Doesn't that give you the heebie-jeebies??
no subject
[. . .]
It does!!
Maybe they should be called horror-scopes.
