[The video opens on a sleeping little Jangmo-o, curled into a tight ball. The scale on its tail is draped very deliberately over its forehead, not unlike a sleeping cat. As the camera shifts (and the woman behind it rustles) the little creature startles just enough for the tail to fall away. The damaged forehead scale had been trying to protect immediately becomes obvious. Whatever caused it, the damage was long since done — the wound had healed over, leaving the break clear but little more to be done.

As the little creature lets out a fearsome growl, the camera backs off, then turns toward the user. Angel offers a careful smile toward the screen, lifting a finger to her lips as she makes her way from the room. The door is carefully closed before she finally speaks.]

There was a swarm on the islands a few days ago. I found him being picked on. Jangmo-o rely on the forehead scale to defend themselves, so… you can imagine the trouble he was in. [She sighs.] I’m hoping to help get him back into good health, but it’s going to take time. And honestly I don’t even know where to start, or what all is even possible.

But… He deserves a chance to live as normal of a life as he can. So… if you have suggestions, I’m all ears.

-stop stop sTOP, STOP-!

[The very sudden raised voice of Jane Crocker yelling out from your Poke'gear is probably not what you expected to hear when you checked your feed today, but that is indeed what's happening - the view jostles as the camera turns on, seeming to have been dropped, and while the angle is kind of awkward you can definitely see the Poochyena that literally bodychecks Jane to the ground as it fucking parkours around the room in a fit of zoomies. Jane's Rockruff gives chase, but is seriously outpaced by the ball of black and grey energy literally making the house an obstacle course. The collar around its neck has a jingle bell on it, and it is ringing like there is no tomorrow.]

Okay...okay, I guess I'm going to stay on the ground now, forever! Sure, fine, might as well!!!

[Ooh, Jane sounds pissed. Must be approaching her last straw.

The view from the 'gear shifts as it's picked up by familiar pink Audino-hands that bring it over to her and gently rest it by Jane's face. She sighs, turns to face it. Notices the little recording light is on. Pouts.]

Oh, for fuck's sake...

[She huffs and sits up, rubbing her chest as she properly picks up her 'gear.]

I'm fine - sorry about that, I'm fine. I just seem to have gotten the, um, rowdiest of Santa's puppy elves?

[Dinah the Audino and Deva the Indeedee seem to have teamed up, putting any previous animosity behind them to quite literally blast Play Nice into the Poochyena's area of effect. Eventually the little dog settles, curling up into a doggo donut while the Rockruff sits and wags its tail approvingly.]

That's a temporary solution behind me, we're working on it. The weather doesn't make it easy for prolonged outside play, which is what she really needs, I think...but the Snorunts are out there, and it's so cold, and if you're thinking, oh, just put a jacket on her! Or booties! I tried that.

[Jane sighs heavily and puts her head in her hands.]

How in the world does a puppy jailbreak out of a sweater and booties in the five seconds you have your back turned...?

[The camera opens up with a focus on - well, Dimitri's little rat army. That is to say, Gremlin the Rattata, and the many Raticate that Dimitri has. Those who've been in Johto or Kanto for a while with an attention paid to the network might recognize them as the Raticate team that Dimitri used to take out Claire's dragon team.]

[...And right now, outside in the snow, they all seem to be taking turns bullying the hell out of a large log with Iron Tail.]

[Dimitri's voice speaks up.]

I think... when it comes to the annual procession of Snorunts, with their immense power, I have found a solution.

And it is to make an offering with all of your soul, that they may devour, and so which bears the brunts of your misfortune.

[ . . . ]

I carved a little statue for them, and they devoured it. In return, I was given Iron Tail. Considering this is an improvement from last year, I believe this idea to have merit.

[he's doing fine]

Who: Everyone
Where: Goldenrod Christmas Market
When: December 1st - December 31st
Summary: Ah, Christmas time! A time of joy, family and... commerce?

Like every year, the Goldenrod Christmas Market is opened on December 1st by a Santa (not the Santa, but certainly a Santa) with a merry Ho-Ho-Ho and a jolly tinkle of sleigh bells. And like every year, the stalls are stacked to the brim, overflowing with everything you might wish to buy this Christmas season. Every few stalls, the items make way for hot food and drink -- waffles, hot chocolate, cider, you name it and you can most certainly find it.

Just like last year, you too can open a stall at the Christmas Market. If you've got a special talent for creating things, why not drop by Goldenrod, and see if you can sell your creations for a bit of extra money. Stalls can be rented by the day, the week, or even for the whole month, so even if you've only got a small stash of items (or pokemon eggs or food or whatever) to sell, why not come by and try and make a buck.

Does anyone know of a tattoo artist that won't ask too many questions? Alternatively, does anyone here know anything about doing tattoos?

Ugh, you've got to be kidding me.
I'm really sorry for dropping off the face of...this planet? I didn't go home, I just...
I've been sick. With what, I can't tell.
Yes, I've been to the doctor, and no, they don't know either. Apparently it seemed like I had mono, but considering I haven't been in intimate contact with anyone in the capacity to get mono from someone in my entire life, it can't actually be mono.
But I've felt absolutely horrid for all of September, so I've kind of been limiting my contact outside my house, and then I was too tired to post anything until recently...and I feel really awful, there were things I was supposed to be doing last month and I couldn't get it running like I thought I could...

Bluh. Long story short, I was sick. Not so sick anymore. Still going to limit face-to-face contact with people for a little bit just to be safe and I should be completely fine by Halloween.
Hopefully.
I happen to like this time of year, and I want to enjoy myself, goshdangit!

Um, so...have I missed anything?

((OOC: hey life hit the poop out of me but JANE'S HERE...tell her things if you wish. Even if you don't know who she is.))

[There's a bit of a racket going on before the video feed flicks on, what sounds like the panting of a dog, some reassuring "I know, I know" from a feminine voice.

Then the video turns on.

Botan seems lightly amused at returning to Johto, but she's had some time to readjust. She's exactly where she's supposed to be now, which is why--despite clearly appearing to be a newcomer--it doesn't look like she's on the starting routes.

To anyone else, they will just see a perky young woman, smiling sweetly at the camera. She appears to be dressed in a kimono, though her outlandishly bright blue hair might be more attention-grabbing.

Either that, or the shaggy sheepdog-looking creature sitting next to her, which she is serenely petting despite the candle on its head being a risk to her sleeves.]

Botan here! I do beg your pardon, I'm new only by technicality--I'm a returning person. I'm very sorry for not announcing my presence sooner, I was a bit busy with my fiancee.

[And her smile turns brighter (if that's even possible).]

This is my new friend, Houta. [Meaning the Greavard, who rumbles something understandable to her (and anyone else who could understand the speech of a Pokemon) as "yeahyeahyeahyeah--me, that's me, I'm Houta--me."] I'm a Breeder, though it will take a bit of time for me to set that back up, since I don't have my Pokemon anymore besides those Korra kept. I suppose it's safe to assume that there's still no real organization for us, hmm?

[It's to be expected, after all, Breeders do tend to just throw out their eggs into the wind.]

And, to my friends and associates who might recognize me, I'm so sorry for leaving. But I'm home now! I missed you all very much!

[ Every month or so, people vanished around now. Minfilia would scroll though - and if it was somebody she knew, she would mourn quietly.

And yet, one name struck something else into her - thus, why she's making a post, from her home near Celadon. She's dressed casually, and still looking serious. ]

When I first arrived, there was a man here who terrified me. One who had... hurt me and my people back home. [ The details didn't matter now. ] In order to protect myself, I began to train myself, and began to train my team. My goal was to become Champion. It seemed to be a place where we could be safe.

I know he had little power here now, but I did not know that when I arrived. I was ignorant, and he took advantage of it.

And yet, he is now gone. Just before I began my trek though Victory Road.

...I suppose I simply needed to tell people. And ask, I suppose. [ Though she hestitates on the question. She's not mourning. She should be celebrating, yet. She changes her mind on the question. ] What motivates you to grow stronger here?

[ Notably, she has not said his name. (What name would she call him? Emet-Selch, or Solus?) ]

[You know those videos where the owner opens the door and the animal freaks out? Yeah. Angel's feed opens kind of like that! Adorababy is sitting on the ground in the entryway of the Pelagic Gym. He isn't sure why he's been dragged down to the main area, when he's much happier lounging about in the living quarters. But fine, he'll humor Armin.

Speaking of Armin, he is, presumably, the one behind the camera. He offers some soothing words for the occasionally preening Sylveon.

And then the door opens, just a crack. Almost immediately, the pink ball of fur and ribbons perks up. His nose tips into the air, ears craning forward as he seems to quiver in excitement.]

"Do you recognize that?"

[Armin's voice floats over the recording. It seems to make the Sylveon tremble in excitement. He begins to trot forward, only to burst into an outright sprint as the door opens the rest of the way and reveals Angel. The creature wastes no time in lunging up at her, paws hitting her square in the chest and sending her tumbling backward.

The video blurs as Armin appears to charge forward, checking on Pokemon and trainer alike.]

"Are you okay?!"

It's okay. I'm fine. We are both fine, aren't we 'Dora?

[When the camera focuses again, it finds Angel and her Pokemon square on the ground, half inside the gym and half out. The Sylveon trills in delight, butting his head beneath Angel's chin. Its feelers are wrapped tight around both arms, holding her close and drawing her in for a proper embrace.]

I missed you too, sweetheart. It's okay, though. I am not going anywhere any time soon.

[There's a long-suffering sigh and...what little light can be offered by from the Poke'gear while filming, as well as the shine of at least three of those flashlights you can wear on your head. Two ahead of the 'gear are clearly Pokemon, an Audino and a Bisharp carrying packs and looking between each other in a proper moment of solidarity, their expressions a bit grim, a bit tired, but neither is surprised.]

Alright, so...we've been going in and out of these crazy tunnels, right?

[Oh. That's Jane's voice. Jane, no.]

After I saw that Legend Seekers guy's video I knew I had to come down here to make sure other people didn't end up lost...but, um...well...

[There's an embarrassingly long pause.]

Now we're lost.

[Dinah glances away while Dart coughs and clears his throat, and Jane finally turns the 'gear around to show herself - tired, dirty, and incredibly bashful about the whole situation.]

It's not my fault! We heard a scream and thought it was a person, and we were trying to find the source, and...now I can't tell which way I was going. We came out in this kind of circular room kind of area, and - oh, hold on, let me show you guys!

[She reaches for something in her pocket and angles her head in a way that her head flashlight really illuminates the purple feather she pulls out.]

I don't know of any Pokemon who run around in tunnels and dig in the dirt with feathers, unless this is some kind of undiscovered prehistoric Pokemon that survived the...whatever shift happened that made them extinct...oh, but that's only something that happens in movies! Anyway, I thought people might like to know - it saves someone from getting themselves lost in here!

[Both Jane's Pokemon roll their eyes and shake their head.]

We're going to get back to looking for people, so if you're down here and see this, and need some help...well, maybe we'll find you? I hope we do. I have escape ropes, but I'd really like to save them for emergencies...and if you're not down here, good! Stay up there and don't come down here!

[You're free to either chat with Jane via the network or bump into her in the tunnels - whichever is fine!]

This is a call to any trainers in the Goldenrod area - yes I know we had alarms and news flashes but this is a personal callout to those of us who've made this city their home!

[Jane looks fairly harried - hair a mess, clothes dirty - like in the hours since the worms made their presence known, all she's done is try to mitigate damage as best as she can do alone...]

If someone else has organized a response to this that isn't made up of just natives I'll jump right in, but so far I've just been trying to help folks navigate stupidly large holes and only just made it to the Pokemon Center. I'm going to check if the nurses and patients inside are alright, but if there's anyone nearby who needs some backup, if we could all just meet up over here or by a landmark and tackle this together, I'm sure we can get things down to a something resembling control-

[Jane stops and turns around, and now you can see the Goldenrod City Pokemon Center behind her. And it's, uh. You know that thing in cartoons when something is digging under the ground and leaves a visible trail on the surface? Yeah, it looks like a couple Orthworms are burrowing in that direction.

The speed of the shift in Jane's expression from "exhausted but hanging on" to "Kirby's Fucking Pissed" is simply incredible.]

DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE, I USED TO WORK THERE YOU LITTLE-

[Oh gosh she's launching Pokeballs, she's got her elite team on hand, she is ready to throw down for this Pokemon Center.

So, uh, if you're in the area, maybe...come help? Keep some sick and hurt Pokemon safe? Or at least know you will probably be safe with someone so gung-ho on protecting this one area on hand...]

[It's later in the evening when this text hits the network. And by later, it's getting close to midnight. A little unusual for Emet-Selch to be up so late, and yet here he is.]

In my time being here, there certainly has been some few theories on what the nature of this world we find ourselves in is. Whether it is its own true living world, a simulation of one, or perhaps even a game. I have mine own theories, but this isn't quite about that.

Nay, I cannot help but wonder that, should this world prove itself a simulation, to what purpose do you believe it would serve? What would its creator wish to glean from this all? Or, if not to acquire knowledge from those of us within, then what is our collective purpose?

It is a thought I find myself considering now and again, and so I wish to know my fellow imports' thoughts on the matter—hypothetical as it may yet prove to be.

[Someone's been left alone with his thoughts for a little too long it seems.]

[Dimitri opens the video looking... sort of befuddled. Which is not a rare expression on his face, considering how out of his depth this poor man is sometimes, and how there's just the Wii Shop Theme playing permanently in some section of his skull, but, still.]

I... must admit I am surprised. With the trend that so many others have experienced, and with my own experience in the past two, I was expecting a disaster. I suppose many of us were.

And yet, it appears to be coming to an end with all's well.

Would anyone like to fight? I have wooden weapons. You are permitted to use teeth.

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

[ Minfilia had a stern look on her face. (And looked a little tired.) ] Hopefully that's the last of that.

[ She comments, not elaborating. But then, she puts on her usual placid smile. ] May I ask something which may seem strange to many of those here? And that is - are the weeks and days and months the same as where you come from? In my case, they are not - our weeks are eight days, our months thirty-two days. I, of course, expect the years are different - but it has still been a struggle to adapt to seven-day weeks.

...That reminds me, however. Though conversion, I have learned it is my nameday-- birthday within the next week. The 23rd, I believe, is the closest to the date I would celebrate back home.

I have no plans for that day. No - a day off is something to celebrate... especially without seeing a Murkrow or Nicket again. [ Huh. She sounds. Tired. Saying those two Pokemons' names. ]

[[ Also open to action on the 23rd - you can catch her around Goldenrod! I'm still technically on hiatus because of this being a tough month for me, but wanted to get this out and do stuff with it :3c ]]

_{[DING! It's a video post!]

[The video is pointed downwards at the front stoop of a house. Where there seems to be a respectably-sized pile of oblong objects. The camera wavers slightly as it comes into focus on the pile.]

[... It's bread.]

[Loaves of all shapes, colors, and sizes, just... dumped right on the doormat.]

[We're talking everything from the Johto equivalent of Wonderbread to rustic artisanal bakery items.]

[Then the camera's view swings back around to Heather; bleary-eyed, slightly grouchy, and clearly just woke up to find, for the umpteenth time this month, that the secret bread fairy had once again visited her place of residence.]

[All things considered, it's one of the less alarming, more harmless stalker-style pranks she's experienced.]

[But that doesn't make it any less baffling.]}

WHO. IS DOING THIS.

Hey, everyone.

This is just to let anyone who knows either of them and doesn’t live with us know, Chip and Lorenz are both gone as of the last couple days. I’m sorry to have to tell people this way, but kinda figured it had to be done somehow.
