What’s this? There’s glitter in the air. What’s this? There’s dresses everywhere.

Oh right. It’s Prom time.



From the afternoon on, on Friday the 7th of April, your characters will all be arriving at Tohjo Falls via the transport arranged for by Lance. He did end up borrowing a few of those Corviknights from the JKBA, but there are also several of you who will find themselves flown to the Falls by one of Lance’s Dragonites or Charizards. Please give them a poffin if you are able, they are all very good boys and girls.


Your characters will be set down on a tiled driveway (more like flyway, Ha) in front of an impressive-looking villa. Those who have been here before might note that the villa has gotten a bit of a renovation and an update. Turns out that when Team Rocket kidnaps you and keeps you captive in your own home for several weeks while wrecking the house and digging Arceus knows how many basements beneath the house, you might be entitled to some compensation.

And from the looks of things, Lance and co used that compensation to turn their little vacation home back into something where they can relax in peace.

After you arrive, you’ll be greeted by Lance or one of the other Elite Four members, who will give you a quick run-down. You are free to explore the house and surrounding area at your leisure. Please respect their privacy and do not go into any of the locked rooms. You’ll find your accommodations behind the house, so feel free to head there and unpack. Oh, and, there will be a little announcement later, so if you could be in the dining room for that, that’d be stellar.

Well, off you go!




WELCOME (BACK) TO THE FALLS

I'm just going to point out that "unique opportunity" is extremely vague. It could mean literally anything!

[Is he frustrated? Yes.

Is his curiosity going to gnaw away at him until he reluctantly decides to go to this party? You betcha.
]

We aren't expected to bring a date, are we?

[It feels foolish to ask, but the wording on the postcard makes Chazz a little anxious. Like, why else- would you call it a prom?]

This has better be worth it.

[The youth intentionally doesn't take the time to introduce himself to the populace. Once he has something to crow about... then maybe he'll remedy that.]

[The 'gear view opens upon a vast expanse of those peculiarly textured magazines you can find in plastic stands on street corners, listing in vaguely blurry text various selling points of real estate. The view lifts, and you can see it's not so much a vast expanse as it is just a tabletop covered with them. Across the way from the person holding the 'gear is G'rhyf Kett, focused on a column of offers in one of the magazines, and the camera lingers for a moment on the image of their concentrated visage before they blink and look up, a bit bewildered before their nose crinkles and they chuckle.]

What're you doing, Raha?

[A sheepish laugh comes from behind the camera.] A thought occurred to me, is all - would you indulge me for a moment?

Just a moment?

Y-Yes, just a moment. [With a clearing of the throat, G'raha turns his 'gear around. He looks a bit tired, eyes reddish...well, besides his irises, I mean. It's likely he's been thumbing through real estate periodicals for hours to get that kind of look to him.] G'rhyf and I have been engaging in...well, I suppose it could be the closest thing to what adventurers like to call "Housing: Savage" - jovially of course - on our star. We thought, since we have both been designated as breeders, that it was only right we have a dedicated space for that - a sort of ranch, perhaps? Not the kind that's a one-level house in a neighborhood, but one with a field and some natural points of interest. Someplace where our Pokemon feel comfortable and at ease.

Yeah, now if only we could pick someplace...

Exactly, therein lies the problem - even with the scope of our search limited to two regions of this world, we simply cannot decide what area would be best. So...I thought, would we not benefit by asking the opinion of others who have been here longer? Who, say, might already have their own similar homes? Where would you elect to have such a ranch?

Let us know what you think!

Please do, I don't want to read the thousandth specification of a building only to find it's absolutely impossibly expensive - that and, this paper is incredibly shoddy. G'rhyf, your hands aren't covered in ink, are they?

Huh? I don't think so- [The video swings back to G'rhyf, who looks down at their hands and makes a face. Yes, there is indeed cheap ink rubbed off on them from the cheap paper.] Ewww...

[The feed cuts off to G'raha's laughter, and insistence that he's a mess too, it's fine!

...Neeeeeerds.]


[[OOC: G'raha and G'rhyf can and will respond to anyone who comments! You can direct your comments to either of them or both!]]

Okay. So. [Reaching down, IV lifts a curious-looking Meowth kitten up into the sight of the camera.] This is Not my Cat.

He’s literally not my cat, but he thinks he is, or whatever else cat logic that equals making himself at home in my traveling bag means that I also ought to feed and entertain him now.

Recently not my cat has started to pelt me with small change -- is that f- I mean, is that normal? It looks like it's grabbing that amulet or whatever it has first and then poing! Always straight in my face!


[He gives Not His Cat an accusatory stare that gets met with the feline version of a :3 face. Can you blame such a cute face? It's definitely planning another coin attack and when to best spring it on its human.

Sighing, IV sets the kitten down.]



I'm also looking for anybody who'd be interested in hunting for pokemon together. It's recently ...been brought to my notice that only having one that's truly capable of fighting might not be a good thing, so any help or advice on how to build a good team would be worth gold.

Well, I can't say I'm happy about this whole thing... But I guess the timing could've been worse. Although having a woman who's probably younger than me claim to be my mother, that kind of weirded me out. [A snicker with a bit of a snort to it, as the woman's tired annoyance gives way to begrudging fondness.] She'd have to be a lot more overbearing than that to compare...

I'll give this place some credit for the guidebook. 'Cause if a realm's gonna pull you into it, or whatever happened here, the least it can do is give you an instruction manual. But commanding the, uh, Pokey-mon we team up with feels a little weird, at least to me. I'd rather be fighting alongside them-- Although I guess without any of my magic now, that's not an option anyway. Ugh. Alright, Owl Lady, don't get caught up in that...

[After that muttered aside and a deep breath, she's sounding better - if not a bit strained.]


Might as well introduce myself. We're all weirdos to a realm we don't belong in here, right? I'm Eda Clawthorne. It's not my first time traveling like this, but it's definitely the only time I really had no say in it... And it's just the pits. What do you guys do around here to deal with all that?

This evening's pokégear hijacking comes compliments of a certain Heliolisk, who spends a moment or so studying the camera while holding it too close to his face before setting it down and taking a few steps back so that it can get a proper shot of him. Yes, that's right, it looks like a certain electric lizard finally decided to evolve.

It doesn't end there, however! Zipper proceeds once again grab the 'gear, now turning it to give a good view of the rest of the small room before stopping on Bolt the Raichu. Who takes a moment to squeak something irritable at Zipper before bounding over to the snoozing Venusaur on the floor at the foot of the bed and rummaging around under those giant leaves for something. Which turns out to be an egg, which Bolt hops up to place on, the bed, right smack in the middle. This process is repeated twice more, then the Raichu scurries off to the side where she can get a good view of the door, Zipper following with the camera.

Fortunately, either due to planning or just sheer dumb luck, the electric duo has apparently managed to time their antics such that barely have they settled in than their trainer walks in the door, carrying some kind of takeout.

Geddoe stops the moment he sees that something's out of place, blinking once.

"... What."

And then promptly fixes the not at all hidden pair of troublemakers with his trademark deadpan stare. The feed ends amidst the sounds of a Heliolisk positively giggling.


((Two of the eggs are up for grabs! They're bulbasaurs that know mud-slap, though Geddoe doesn't know this.))

Video 1: February 21

[The video clicks on to show Ryou, except...he looks a lot more upset than he normally does, doesn't he?]

You know what? I'm tired of being pushed around and used as a perfect little 'landlord' by a spirit who was happy to see my friends comatose or dead. I'm tired of being blamed for what the Spirit did even though none of it was my fault. I just want a break, but I can't even get that here because I had a Carnivine chasing me everywhere I went and jumping me for a month!

[Behind him, a Hisuian Zoroark and a Chimecho can be seen. The Chimecho looks concerned and floats forward as if to interrupt, but the Zoroark just shakes her head no. Let Ryou vent, it's fine.]

Video 2: February 22

[The next day heralds another video from Ryou, except he's now looking a lot more sheepish than yesterday.]

I'm sorry about yesterday, I shouldn't have made that public for everyone to see. I just had a lot on my mind.

III, this is IV. I'm here as well. Contact me as soon as you see this, because I fucking refuse to believe that I'm the only one gettig "a second chance" here! Call me, you bastard!!


_______________________________________________



[Text Message to All, not quite 10 minutes after the first one was posted]


Christopher, I swear to God, if I find out that you're somehow behind all of this I'm going to rip out all your hair and stuff a pillow with it! And THEN I'll stuff that pillow down your throat or into your favorite computer or whatever technical toy you actually hide your humane heart in and then I'll set that ON FIRE, DO YOU FUCKING GET ME

I DON'T CARE WHATEVER SICK GAME YOU PLAY WITH ME, BUT IF YOU DARE DRAG -OUR LITTLE BROTHER- INTO THIS, THEN I'LL END YOU, FAMILY OR NOT!!!


....and don't you huff at me with that smug mug of yours, I gd know where the caps lock button is, this is me screaming at you!! If I find out you or that bastard harmed even one hair of him I'll make sure you all pay!! For real this time!!



_______________________________________________



[Video, roughly 2 hours later]

Ahem, does this work? [The youth being shown shifts awkwardly for a second before he seems to gather himself and smiles sheepishly at the camera.]

Hello there. This is IV. Some might know me as the Asia Champion, but if you don't that's quite alright ---- you definitely know me as the idiot who spammed those embarrassing texts on the whole network just earlier. For which I want to apologize.

[Another awkward smile that quickly turns sheepish as he shifts. Eventually, he gives in and runs a hand through his hair. It's obvious that he started with a good idea of what he wanted to say when he started making this post, but not that he's at it, he's lost not even two steps in. After another awkward pause, he pulls his shoulders back and faces the camera directly. No running away now.]

I let my fear and worry get the better of me when I made those posts, I’m very sorry for that. Usually my manners are way better.

[A deep, slightly shaky breath. Seems he hasn't got himself quite as well under control as he seems to want to appear.]

I was separated from my brother when we were both in pretty dire states. If you have seen a young boy of about 15 years, short, slightly curly red hair and green eyes, then please let me know. You might know him as either Michael or III, and he is generally very friendly and polite.

The other person I'm looking for is very tall and wears a dark cloak. Cold blue eyes and a constant mightier-than-you air about him. He likes to wear blue, while III prefers reds.

They are both people I'd like to find, or to at least know if they're doing alright. Any help you could give me finding them - or figuring out how I'm supposed to fight with nothing but a flopping fish for defense, this place really has a strange sense of humor - will be very much appreciated. Thanks for lending me your time.

[The video cuts off with a hopeful wave.]
