It's a soft, cloudy morning. Perhaps you're sleepily brewing up coffee at home or in a hotel room, or you're lounging about in your tent against your nice toasty Fire Pokemon, or maybe you were up and about early to head to work. You might even be noticing, gratefully, that all the Mr. Mimes and Hypnos that were hanging around town and staring at you are finally gone. Good riddance; you've been hearing people complain about bad dreams, like someone was using Dream Eater on them in their sleep. Perhaps you've even experienced some particularly restless nights yourself!

But no matter where you are... before long, you'll hear a soft rustle. It comes from just outside the door, or from behind you, or somewhere else outside of your range of vision - and when you go to check on it, you will find a piece of paper folded into a round-edged hexagram. Ink has bled through the paper, making it clear that there's something written on the inside, though the color of the ink - and the neatness of the handwriting - varies wildly.

If you're especially "lucky," more notes will keep being dropped off near you throughout the day. Or if you're nosy, you may be able to find similar ones left lying around, in locations as normal as pinned to a bulletin board or as unusual as tucked into a knothole deep in the woods.

But no matter what, when they're unfolded, the contents of the notes are... oh boy. Are you supposed to be seeing this?

Comments

Cecil Harvey | OTA

[paladinlost]

Boy oh boy, does Cecil have plenty of secrets to (never ever) share! In increasing order of severity (and reluctance to actually explain):

A. "Two of Cecil's Pokémon come from Team Rocket."

B. "Cecil hid the old fridge near the fridge."

C. "Cecil cannot tell the triplets apart when they sleep."

D. "Arceus is Cecil's fourth favorite out of six, ex aequo with Spiritus."

E. "Cecil worships pretty stones when the world gets funny."

F. "Cecil gets hot flashes in his sleep."

G. Send your own!
If you want Cecil to see a specific secret concerning a character, send away!

H. In the wild!
At some point starting around the 7th or so, people visiting the Lunar Gym or stumbling upon Cecil in Celadon may see him throw out one of those folded papers. Or kick it on sight. Or even run walk swiftly away from it. Nope nope nope he is not reading these anymore he is NOT–

F via PokeGear!

[gimmeeyeballs]

Guess what horrible former amphibian found the note? This one did! Catrina has gotten pretty good at using her still pretty chewed up PokeGear as she goes to give Cecil a call. This would be her first time chatting with the human of hot flashes.

"So, heard you get hot flashes at night? Is that a normal thing humans have happen?"

Catrina was still getting use to the whole being a human thing, might as well find out if that's normal or not.

E

[phdepression]

On one hand, Jotaro knows he should probably just respect Cecil's privacy and pretend he never saw the note. He should simply just erase the information from his brain. However, curiosity gets the best of him and eventually he shoots Cecil a message over PokeGear.

Got one of those weird notes talking about you.
Any truth to it? Not that I'm judging you re: stone worship. Just curious.

Dolly Mancer | OC | OTA

[autumnrainrunaway]

The Museum dream has been odd for the past few nights in Dolly's sleep, things being poked around and confusing the tiktaalik tour guide to no end with the guest signs popping up but no guests to be found. Then one day, it all stopped, how nice, how very nice indeed as Dolly went about her day helping out at the Haunted BnB. Of course, not everything is as calm as they appear as the notes come fluttering in like confetti out on the streets.

You may find one of the following notes involving Dolly if you're either lucky or unlucky enough:

A. Dolly is the sole surviving Queen from an island that no longer exists. (CW for Trauma, Grief, and Survivor's Guilt.)

B. Dolly has been to two different worlds before hand! This one is the third one!

C. Please tell the Tiktaalik Tour Guide I'm sorry for confusing him, I'd like a tour of the Museum someday! *There's a little doodle of an upright walking tiktaalik wearing a striped vest and a little floating baseball cap*

D. Dolly wasn't a human before arriving here, I want my fur to be soft like that. It's so unfair.

E. Dolly ran a mystery solving club for almost three decades at a college campus!

F. Send your own note!
Please feel free to throw a note towards Dolly's way! She could use some social interaction.

A

[phdepression]

A part of Jotaro wants to pretend that he didn't see the note. That he would respect Dolly's privacy and move on with his life. However, it doesn't seem fair that Dolly doesn't know he knows a very personal fact, so in the end he messages her over Pokegear.

Found a note related to you. Got a moment to chat about it?
-Jotaro

Catrina Calavera | OC | OTA (CW for Disease mentions, potential gory details, and Cat being Cat)

[gimmeeyeballs]

Catrina has been getting some pretty concerning stares from the Psychic Type swarm for the past few days, some of them keeping the Mime Jr.s away from the rancid former amphibian. Soon enough though, the swarm seems to be done and over with, but oh me, oh my, the notes sure are coming in!

A. Catrina is the only normal family member in a mafia family.

B. Needs to be quarantined, please quarantine the human called Catrina Calavera.

C. Catrina sleeps with this absolutely disgusting plush toy called 'Plague Bird', it's awful to look at. You humans better be thankful that we're sharing this information.

D. Catrina was an accessory to a jewelry heist and hid about 10k worth of jewelry somewhere back home.

E. Send a note Catrina's way! Please feel free to send your note towards Catrina!

F. Aftermath
Catrina can be found hiding about from this mentions of 'Cora-Teen' (Catrina, honey that's quarantine and it's not a person). Clearly, this former amphibian is staying clear of the Pokemon Centers until this blows over. Maybe you can convince the potentially diseased wonder that Nurse Joy isn't some sort of horrifying creature?

E

[hellaquin]

[Maybe the Drowzee saw Catrina spending time with Blitzo recently, because not long after that one brings her the following note:

Blitzo is worried about his daughter back home!

Are they hoping Catrina can talk to him about these concerns, or do they just figure if they keep those two interacting, it'll spare others?]

Beetlejuice | OTA

[bugbeverage]

Here's a list of juicy secrets about Beetlejuice your character can uncover thanks to the oh so helpful psychic pokemon:

A. "Beetlejuice eats hotel soap."

B. "Beetlejuice is in love with his friend Scar."

C. "Beetlejuice is afraid of Mr. Mime."

D. "Beetlejuice is suuuuper lonely."

F. "Beetlejuice has 640000P in credit card debt."

G. "Wildcard!"

Beetlejuice can be found most places out and about trying to sell watches/ghost tours/sketchy-looking berries/insurance or working on his Very Scary Not Terrible At All horror novel in public cafes on an old-timey typewriter. He's got most warps so you can find him anywhere!

A.

[crystalmaster]

Well, of course Radley just so happens to find one of the notes when Evie very helpfully brings him one in her mouth that a Drowzee wanted delivered! He opens it and stares at it.

"What the ... ? Why would anybody eat soap?!"

C.!

[autumnrainrunaway]

This day, this particular month really, seems to be out for Dolly's blood this time around as she enters the cafe to get away from the dread notes with three of her Pokemon, but not before getting one handed to her by a Mr. Mime. Mr. Mime seemed to be snickering as it went about that merry creepy clown way that particular Pokemon always seems to do.

What could it be this time? Might as well to keep the Psychic types at bay.

"Beetlejuice is afraid of Mr. Mime."

....That was it....Wait a tick tock second..that name. Dolly recognized that name from the PokeGear back in October. Wait, did this mean that BJ was...oh shit yeah he's here alright. She could leave, but, at the same time, even someone like BJ deserves to know what's going down. Deep breath in, deep breath out, just deal with it.

There's a bit of a tap on BJ's table as Dolly delivered the note to him, her two Alolan Vulpixes and one Fidough following along. "I figured you should know that the psychic types are forming a rumor mill of sorts and they're putting you on blast."

Jotaro Kujo | OTA

[phdepression]

Jotaro's just getting back to the swing of things. After a relaxing month staying with Jolyne and her wife, Jotaro has decided to do some training. When the weird Mr. Mimes and Hypnos' started appearing, Jotaro had just left Olivine City. Now at Ecruteak City, all the freaks were gone and Jotaro hoped that he would have be able to have a good nights sleep.

This hope is dashed upon seeing the first paper.

"... Good grief."

(CW: trauma, death mentions in prompts D and E.)

A. Jotaro Kujo was a delinquent as a teenager and didn't pay the check at any meals he didn't like.

B. Jotaro's woman type is traditional Japanese but he married an American woman. He's very divorced now.

C. Jotaro was an absentee father and punched his daughter in the face when she was in prison

D. Jotaro is very lonely but refuses to admit it because he assumes that everyone he befriends will die painfully

E. Jotaro could have saved the universe but selfishly chose not to

F. Jotaro won't admit it but he wants a boyfriend.

G. Wildcard!

I'm hitting A but he might have found a B we don't know

[oceanbear]

[Ring ring hello, you've got a call-]

So.

Dine and dash huh.

[He needs his amusement somewhere ok.]

D

[phoenixwiz]

(Oh uh. He got a note about Jotaro and his paranoia has increased tenfold for a friend. What is going on right now? Aren’t secrets meant to be stay a secret to begin with?

Harry immediately contacts Jotaro about the note he got as he could sense a similarity with his attempts to keep others in the dark back in his world though for very different reasons.)

Hey Jotaro. I got one of these, um, notes recently. I do want to ask though: What’s with the whole fear of friends dying a horrible death thing the note is saying about?

hope this is ok!

[epitaffio]

[Here's an innocuous text message for you, Jotaro:]

I think I've got something of yours, Mr. Kujo.
One of those creepy notes, I mean.

[His concern isn't so much with what the note says, but more with the following: how have the notes been distributed? If he ended up with intel on Jotaro, then... is there any chance Jotaro has something on him? Or, even worse, the Boss?]

E.

[crystalmaster]

[Radley sighs to himself as Evie brings him another note courtesy of a determined Drowzee. He opens it, stares at it, frowns at it, shakes his head, and tries to call Jotaro on the PokeGear.]

Hey, uh, loco stuff's going around about you.

[Of course he's ungodly curious about the thing, but he also recognizes it might not even really mean what it seems to mean. These guys seem to be distorting the truth, maybe because of their perceptions of it, maybe because of something else.]

[epitaffio]

This is absolutely not good. The first note Doppio sees registers are little more than an oddity. At the second one, he gets a call from the Boss. At the third one, he's on a mission.

A mission to find out if anyone is ending up with knowledge they are not meant to have, and to put a stop to it if the answer is "yes."

Here are the notes you may be able to find about Doppio (and someone else...?):

A. There's two guys in Doppio!

B. Doppio is in Team Rocket! The other guy is his boss!

C. Doppio doesn't know what phones are.

D. Did you know? Doppio hates being alone. If you see him alone you should keep him company!

E. Wildcard! (That is, feel free to shove a note about your character in Doppio's way.)

HE'S CALLING YOU DOPPIO ANSWER YOUR PHOOOONE

[oceanbear]

[So. Emporio has...

Concerns.

He's found a lot of these notes. Enough that, he finally called his pseudo aunt/sisters and said hey how do I call this guy privately??? because.

Wow buddy.

Actually how is Doppio answering these if he doesn't know what- well, forget about it. The important thing!]

Heyyyyyy...

[HEY BUD...]

You doing okay over there..?

[THAT ROCKET ONE SURE ISN'T GREAT TO HAVE OUT THERE.]

Emporio Alniño - OTA

[oceanbear]

Emporio has settled back in rather nicely to his life. He did another photoshoot for the Holidays, and from there had a nice vacation for himself- if a vacation could involve just doing a lot of snowy gym battles. He suspects that winter will, ultimately, be one of the busier times of year given how hard it is for people to do those challenges. Suffice it to say...while he's found notes for other people scattered around, he's not yet realized he's got notes out there too!

A. Emporio has never actually played baseball!

B. Emporio is too polite to say it, but he wishes he had someone to share a relationship with.

C. Emporio has killed a man!

D. Emporio utterly hates the concept of 'Fate'.

E. Emporio doesn't actually know much about fashion, and doesn't realize how popular his photos are!

F. Team Rocket to this day keeps trying to recruit Emporio for his talents; you might say they have an on-again off-again relationship.

G. WILDCARD!

B on the PokéGear

[phoenixwiz]

Hey Emporio. I just found this note a while ago.

(Harry brings up a photo of the note he stumbled upon while he was doing a small photography gig at Ecruteak City. He is hoping that this note was just making things up and that Emporio can explain it to him if he likes to.)

I don’t mean to pry too hard but I was wondering about the question on romantic partners. You don’t to have answer it if you don’t want to. I’m not usually that one person who is this nosy enough to ask about people’s love lives.

Harry Potter (OTA) (cw: death, attempted murder, domestic terrorism, abusive family)

[phoenixwiz]

Harry has been very skeptical and nervous about the wild Psychic Pokémon being more common place than usual that he feels that he needs to watch his back multiple times for the last several days. After hearing about people getting notes containing secrets of their own, he wonders if he might be next and hopes that he doesn’t get one at all.

But as it turns out, he is proven absolutely wrong when he finds plenty of notes targeting him:

A. Harry hates Halloween because some bad overlord killed his parents.
B. He tried to kill his own godfather who was being accused for killing said parents and a bunch of other people.
C. Some guy named Tom (yes, it’s his real name) wanted him dead long before he was even born over some silly prophecy.
D. Harry’s uncle and aunt are bad guardians to him and way worse parents to his cousin.
E. Harry still has feelings for a certain red haired girl.
F. Wildcard!

D.

[crystalmaster]

Radley frowns to get another note. He's got a regular stack of the things now, mostly delivered by Evie from the Drowzees. He rubs his eyes tiredly and reaches for the PokeGear. Better let Harry know they're gossiping about him now.

"Hey, how's it going?" he asks as he sends a video call.

Isabela Madrigal (OTA) (cw: generation trauma, societal pressure)

[senorita_perfecta]

Now Isabela had been so busy with her life that she doesn’t seem to realize that the trouble she is about to face when mischievous Psychic Pokémon were taking a big interest on her. She knew that there is something off with these Pokémon trying to pry into her life but she didn’t pay attention enough to do a double take before she started finding notes about her that she really doesn’t want the world to find out.

And ho boy this is going to be a wild roller coaster she is in:

A. Isabela was pressured to be a prim and proper girl for most of her life.
B. She was made to marry a guy who is the crush of her cousin against her wishes.
C. She was very jealous of her younger sister for not having the town’s attention being poured onto her.
D. Isabela is very much unhinged at a moment’s notice.
E. Wildcard!

Keith | OTA

[tempredmental]

[Some secrets might be following Keith around.]

1. Keith lost his first gym battle, and he's still embarrassed after all this time.
2. Keith is half-alien! Like from outerspace!
3. Keith doesn't really sleep. He has too many nightmares. {CW for images of war, death, violence, etc.}
4. Keith is a member of a secret rebel group back home. Like some secret space cat ninja.
5. Keith was an orphan, but he got his mom back! {CW for parental death}
6. Keith got kicked out of school for fighting! {CW for bullying}
7. Keith used to do illegal street racing for cash. What is illegal street racing?
8. Give Keith your secrets!

[Keith started trying to ignore them pretty quickly after they started appearing. While some were pretty harmless as far as he was concerned, there were a couple he just didn't want to face.]

1!

[paladinlost]

On the one hand, Cecil has been trying very hard to ignore those horrible papers and their juicy, horrifying secrets. The lack of privacy would be terrible even if he wasn't also affected.

On the other hand, he's accidentally read this one and he gets it.

Hello! Would you be interested in forming a support group for people who wish to forget their very first Gym battle? Those unpleasant notes seem to imply you might be interested.

Duo Maxwell | OTA

[divine_braid]

[Guess who's just picking up notes and throwing them out. THIS GUY! Yeah. Oops.]

1. Duo doesn't like being a bad guy.
2. Duo doesn't like Team Rocket.
3. Duo is afraid of getting too close to people. He think they're all gonna die!
4. Duo calls himself the God of Death. He's not really a god, though.
5. Duo's in Team Rocket! Watch out!
6. Let Duo find a secret from your character!

4.

[crystalmaster]

[Well, this note just makes Radley stop and stare.]

So ... uh, I got a note saying you call yourself "The God of Death"? Crazy thing is, I know somebody back home who says the same thing about himself.

[What is it with these guys and their god complexes? Or is it their death complexes?]

Luna Lovegood | OTA

[looneylovegood]

[Luna is honestly not bothered by any secrets getting out. She really doesn't see them as secrets. She sees no reason to keep some of these things to herself. Especially not here.]

1. Luna got bullied all the time in school. {CW for bullying}
2. Luna likes the weird Pokémon. She thinks they're like her.
3. Luna has a crush on someone named Neville.
4. Luna is a witch!! She might curse you!!
5. Luna was once captured, held prisoner, and tortured. {CW for torture}
6. Can Luna find your secret?

[She'll be out and about picking up other people's secrets and tossing them out for them, though. She can understand why some people might not want these things to get out.]

2

[curuiosity]

Is this about you? May I ask what kind of Pokemon you consider weird? As in weird for their species or weird in general?

[Is this him setting up to show her his weird Varoom? Maybe. Regardless, he seems pretty excited to talk about weird Pokemon.]

Rui Kamishiro | Project Sekai | OTA

[curuiosity]

Some Rui related notes that can be found.


I. Rui had no friends growing up
II. Rui is the Eccentric Alchemist in his stories
III. Rui gets in trouble on purpose when he's sad
IV. Rui is afraid of boats
V. Rui wishes he could be a Pokemon.
VI. This cinnamon roll thinks he's a villain! HAHAAH Rui couldn't hurt a fly, someone give him a hug.


Though you can also send a note Rui's way.

3.

[crystalmaster]

Well, this note really concerns Radley when he reads it.

"So these Psychic Pokemon are gossiping about everybody and they say you get yourself in trouble on purpose when you're sad," he says.

Just how bad of trouble? This note is making him think way too much of Kalin's foolishness.

Bido | OTA

[uncannytoo]

Secrets being Bido's field of expertise, the idea of any of his own being spilled is fairly horrifying!! At least he's getting a bunch of juicy new material in exchange...? He still hasn't left the vicinity of Goldenrod since the cruise, but he might be a challenge to track down; he hasn't told many people his name. Here are some of the notes going around about him:

A. "All of Bido's friends are dead."

B. "Bido wants to wear leather pants!!! But he's too embarrassed."

C. "Bido taught his Feebas how to cheat at cards. Maybe he can teach yours!"

D. "Bido saw what you did!"

E. "Bido is still trapped in that place and he can't get out. Well, there are more of him now. Is that good?"

F. "Bido thinks his old boss was better... and more handsome."

G. "What's the real 'Bido' anyway? Nobody knows."

H. Give him one of your character's secrets! He... might be looking to scoop up as many as he can once he realizes what's going on.

[garbagechild]

Wrath, ironically, is kind of the opposite about secrets. The last time he was here? He cared about them a whole lot. But now? There seems to be little more to keeping secrets than keeping his mouth shut. Nobody asks questions of a sullen little mop-head in a black hoodie, especially when he doesn't draw attention to himself by asking any of his own.

But even Wrath would be hard-pressed to ignore all these little pieces of paper flying all over the place.

Especially since Scar and Lust have been trying to get him to practice his reading and writing.

"... All of. Bye-dohhh....s. Friends. ... Are dead."

The short figure standing in the middle of the sidewalk with one of the notes clasped in his hands is mostly obscured behind long shaggy black hair and a puffy, oversized windbreaker, but the Cubone at his side (who is also wearing a puffy oversized windbreaker) has a stack of similar papers, and is already nodding and reaching for this one.

"... Hm," Wrath mumbles as he hands it down to his starter. This is his only spoken commentary.

But there are MORE notes on the sidewalk with Bido's name on them... and the boy shuffles forward to reach for another. Maybe this one will be happier!
