islandshore: (RIKU used LEER!)
[personal profile] islandshore
[It's been a while since Riku's made his own network post, but here he is, with dark circles under his eyes, stifling a yawn. His Charizard, Flare, grumbles from offscreen, but he shakes his head.]

No. This isn't the time for a cat nap. I'm fine.

[Except he's not fine. Sora's gone now, so while he's surrounded by a menagerie of monsters, he's still alone to a certain degree. He needs a distraction. Conversation.

It's been years since he was truly on his own, and the nightmares hardly help.]


So. I think we've all seen those Phantumps creeping around. What I'm wondering is just... Has anyone else tried using their own Phantumps or Trevenants to try and get a word in? Already gave it a shot. Thought they might be less timid around one of their kind... but either I have the worst luck in the universe, there's something wrong with my Trevenant, or they flat-out want nothing to do with trainers.

Maybe all of the above. Heck if I know.

[There's a half-hearted shrug, as he rubs his eye.]

Also, I was wondering... has anyone tried using a Munna or Musharna to deal with these nightmares? I know they usually prey on bad dreams. And there's that mist they put out... Just spitballing ideas. I guess I could experiment.

[Sighing, he thinks about ending the feed there.]

Oh, and... Sora's gone. It's. Heh. I know it's one of those things I shoulda seen coming, but when someone's a constant here for years, it starts to feel like they'll never go, y'know?

I guess I should be happy. He's back to being a hero. Saving worlds... important business. It's selfish to want people to stay, right?

[There's a voice from offscreen:]

You're rambling, Riku. Methinks you really should get some sleep.

No, Slash. I'll just get some coffee, and I'll be fine.

[Though he does end the feed there.]

[The video feed has a momentary flurry of activity as Hans realises what angle he needs to hold it on to show his face. There's a blur of clothing and an unimpressed Mudbray before it finally settles on Hans' face.

Momentarily he's a little bewildered, then he smiles.]


Just curious- how do people decide what to name their Pokémon? I know a lot of people have themes- what made you pick them? Does anyone choose not to name them?

[He's mostly just using this as a way to figure out what kind of Pokémon everyone has along with what sort of worlds they're from (he may never get used to that), but a part of him is genuinely curious.]

I've kind of been going with a fruit theme, myself. My horse back home was called Sitron. [His laugh is sheepish.] Where I'm from, it means lemon. Here, I have my mudbray- He's called Æble- which means apple. Then there's my houndour, I don't think he appreciates his name very much. It's Jordbær- it means strawberry! I think he was hoping for something more fearsome.

[Hans chuckles to himself.] I'd be really interested to hear all of your reasons behind your names. We all come from such different worlds, I think it's a funny way to bring our culture here.

[There's a substantial pause before he adds.] Oh! And my name is Hans, of course. But that has nothing to do with fruit.

action: goldenrod city area
[There's a two week delay on wandering for Hans, for reasons he won't discuss. He's dressed as casually as he can stand and he's taking the time to gather his bearings and learn a little more about where he is. He has his Mudbray out of his ball, because he's trying to better acquaint himself with it as well.

It's not going great.

Hans and his Mudbray seem to have conflicting ideas about what direction to walk in, what to look at and whether to walk at all or just stand still and eat dirt. Hans doesn't always immediately notice that he's walking while his pokemon isn't, but when he eventually turns around he's obviously becoming exasperated.]


Æble! Surely that can't be good for you. [Who eats dirt? Why does he have a beast that eats dirt? Hans plods back toward him, beckoning for him to keep walking.

Æble responds by kicking his back foot and snorting, but he's not moving.]


Honestly, you can be such an.. [He pauses, then falters.] ..Ass. If you want to eat dirt, that's fine, but I'm going to keep walking.

[Hans turns, with a huff, and Æble charges behind him to headbutt the back of his legs. Hans stumbles and grunts, swiveling back around to put his hands on his hips so he can stare disapprovingly at his Mudbray.]

That was bad manners.

(Video, Network Post)

[The video opens to Ignis seated in what appears to be in a hotel location. His hair, while still neat, is hardly styled, falling across his forehead. He looks a bit more tired than usual and seems to be fumbling a little with the gear to get it set right.]

I apologize for my appearance. I just woke from ... an unpleasant dream. I can't recall.. It doesn't matter. I saw a few concerned messages on the network in regards to a Pokemon peering into the windows when they awoke. I want to report the same occurrence tonight.

[Something nudges up under him arm then a white Vulpix is climbing onto his lap. He rests a hand gently on her head to ruffle the fluffy curls there.]

Has anyone attempted to approach? Earlier today my Pidgeot attempted to accost a Phantump to less than pleasant results for him...

[Namely, Ravioli plowed head first into the ground after diving at a Phantump who teleported away.]

Open, Sprout Tower. Tourists on Parade.

Ignis could honestly say that tourism held a new glamour for him. )

[Late in the evening, when all innocent ears should be fast asleep, Ash's voice is preceeded by a sigh and rustling pages.]

"Her legs felt as wobbly as a pair of Goomies when he removed his shirt, revealing muscles a Machamp would surely envy. She could feel a burning passion in her inner Bidoof, stronger than any Fire Blast could be. Even a herd of dancing Zebstrikas could not have drawn her gaze away."

[His reading stops abruptly, interrupted by barely restrained laughter.]

This is either the best or the worst annversary present I've ever received.

meteorman: (34 | check it out)
[personal profile] meteorman
[This transmission comes through late in the day on the 28th. The frame shows a tiny hotel room -- there's not much room in it for more than a bedside table, a tv stand, a tiny chair, and a bed with a truly horrendous Comfey flower pattern duvet. Through the window the Saffron skyline is silhouetted against the setting sun.

There are five Pokémon and their trainer sandwiched into this room, though it's hard to spot all of them immediately. Fay the Zoroark is easiest to see where she's curled up at the foot of the bed, but it's more difficult to spot Alice the Gothita where he's tucked into her mane. The only thing that gives Alice away is his luminous eyes reflecting the light from the television. The Togepi that Ford has taken to calling Kid (since he got too used to the phrase 'don't cry, kid' and thinks it's his name now) is sleeping in the chair, blessedly quiet for once. Fantastic Mr. Fox's nine yellow tails are visible on the other side of the bed where he's snoozing on the floor.

But wait. That's only four -- and Ford, who's sitting next to Fay and looking at the camera with an expression of barely-restrained excitement.]


Greetings, all! I have some marvelous news. Today I --

[The helmeted head of a Type: Null pops up out of the pillows at the head of the bed. The pillows do not move. The Null's neck is just sort of sticking out of them like a badly-clipped model in a jenky video game. It notices the 'gear and pulls itself up out of the bed, like somehow its feet only realize the bed is solid when they've come down on it from above. Each one does that doggy paw waggle before the Null sets it down. You know the one. It settles itself in next to Ford with its head against his shoulder (or as against his shoulder as it can be with that helm) and peers at the screen. The bed creaks under the weight of two fairly-large Pokémon and one old man).]

Yes, yes, hello. [He redirects his attention back at the screen.] Given that I meet the badge requirement I applied for a Type: Null. MIPS here is a Ghost type, and thus-far has displayed the remarkable ability to swap between corporeal and intangible states.

[Not always on purpose, but Ford doesn't say that. Let him talk up his Frankenstein doggo. He also doesn't want to invite more people yelling about how Nulls are defective and don't deserve to exist because he will fight every one of them personally bare-knuckled in the pit.]

My goal here is to research a type of Pokémon that is as of yet relatively unknown. What we know already comes down to code that was written in a vacuum; I intend to study MIPS as a Pokémon, a social creature meant to interact with the world around it to learn and grow.

[While he talks, MIPS is slowly sinking down through the duvet. There it goes. Its folded front claws poke out through the side of the bed, just visible at the bottom of the frame.]

Which all leads me to a question: are there quintessential experiences you think a Pokémon should have? Battling is the standard answer, but I'm looking for other ideas. MIPS will be doing much of its exploration of the world around it organically, but finding positive novel stimulus to expose it to occasionally can only help.

[Just the top of MIPS' helmet sticks out above the bedsheets now. Ford gives it an encouraging pat, which only kind of half works what with it being intangible. The feed cuts.]

[Jack is well aware that over half the world is dealing with all this Legendary bullshit. But he's been doing what he does, and not getting involved really. He'll just talk big about everything after it's over. Maybe. Because at home, things have gone to a minor level of hell.]

[Which is why his announcement, ignoring the major upset that has been holding sway for half the month, is brief and lacking his usual humor and arrogance.]


Manaka's gone.

Gone gone, in case anyone is an idiot and thinking she just moved out.

....

I loved that little girl like she was my own.

Guys. Do you guys have advice on how to stop a Pokemon called a Gible chomp on my head?

[Attached to the text was a photo of Tony trying to stop a small shark/dragon Pokemon from biting his whole head.]

I get the feeling no one here knows who I am which is just fine! I'll make my name known here too! We're on our way to one of those gyms while the roads are clear, looks like everyone is elsewhere.

Try not to get eaten I guess.

Sidon wouldn't let me get closer even though I wanted to.

But we saw one of those legendary Pokemon the news was talking about.

Has anyone ever tried to battle a legendary before? Or catch one?


[Attached is a picture that's clearly taken from high up in a tree of Raikou, though it's a fairly bad picture considering the lightning flash and the rain obscuring things. It probably doesn't help he was made to stay far away from the beast.

Someone pleased talk this impulsive teenager out of doing anything stupid.]

Guys...guys check this out...


[It's Gaige again and she turns the camera around so you can see Bellsprout Tower doing it's usual act of swaying back and forth lazily. Also in frame is an actual Bellsprout which is mimicking the tower almost perfectly. It sways back and forth, back and forth in perfect rhythm.]

So I caught this little guy on my way to meet up with mah buddy Krieg and he's like...totally transfixed by this tower! He's been doing this for like thirty minutes now!


I got bored after the first ten and went to ask the guys inside about the tower? I guess legend says that a one hundred foot tall MONSTER BELLSPROUT was used to make the pillar that keeps the tower flexible.


[Gaige's Bellsprout curls it's leaves tightly apparently inspired by the story.]

Aw...I think Billy wants to be that big some day! Is that what you're thinkin' little buddy?

[The Bellsprout nods furiously.]


Wanna crush all your enemies with your sweet dance moves when you're a giant flower monster?!


[This time he looks a little unsure.]


Yeah you do! Well if you believe in yourself I know you can do it! Because I believe in you and I'm awesome! We'll get you to be the biggest baddest Bellsprout EVER!


BELL BELL!

And then we'll CRUSH ALL WHO OPPOSE US!

...sprout...

[Billy seems to be having second thoughts. The video ends with Gaige cackling delightedly with her fantasies of becoming a giant monster.]

[Action]

[If you happen to be visiting Violet City you may find Gaige partaking in the local sights and sounds. She's having a blast so far collecting pokemon, watching the bird show, and studying up on the way this world works by reading whatever books she can get her human or mechanical hands on.

...however old habits die hard and you also might catch her peering into peoples mailboxes, trashcans or opening any boxes that just happen to be laying around.

She's always got her Beldem out following her around blinking and studying whatever she's looking at curiously, however she's also got her Bellsprout out with her.]

[ When the feed turns on, there's Nisha, staring into the camera. She taps the top of the thing--it's definitely picked up by the audio--before she leans back a little.

The Salandit that's made itself at home across her shoulders gives a little croon, and Nisha scratches it under the chin like it's a dog. ]


Can't believe this crap is so outdated, but good to see some things never change. [ She looks incredibly relaxed, considering. ] Anyway, guess a greeting's in order, since I don't know how the hell long it's been since I was here last.

Nisha Kadam, pleasure's all yours. I've got a proposition for everyone here. When I get my team all trained up? Come and find me.

I'll gladly battle anyone who wants a challenge. And Vault Hunters, if you're out there ruining things all over again? You're all at the top of my list.

Godspeed, asshole.]
