Now that everyone has hopefully had enough time to recover from the events regarding those tunnels and the mysterious creature within...

I have been thinking about that quite a bit, I must confess. Isn't it intriguing that, even in a world so developed and known as this, there are still mysteries spread throughout it?

Species we are not familiar with. Legendaries that evade all attempts to be known. Macaroni and cheese boxes which boast about their cheesiness and which yet contain no packet.

[One of these things is not like the other.]

So, my question to others in our predicament is... What mysteries have held your attention, whether in this place, or your homelands?

For myself, personally, I have ended up stumbling onto the answers of many practical matters. Medicine, food, things of that nature. It is still incredible to me how Johto and Kanto manage to handle it all so readiliy, to the point that even travelers such as ourselves can live comfortably with some effort.

Yet I wonder more about these Legendaries as well, and what an interesting presence they possess....

[The camera isn't pointing at anything in particular yet, but there is the sound of a squeaky toy being squeezed repeatedly in the background. A larger, louder one, considering how audible it is, and how long each squeak is. Squeak... squeak...]

So, I got some new toys for the Pokemon the other day.

[He starts turning the camera, eventually coming on the source of the squeaking: a ground-type Silphally [sic] who has what appears to be a rubber potion bottle, and seems to be highly enjoying himself squeaking said toy with his paw. Squeak... squeak...]

Shira's pretty much claimed that toy, there, and...

[One more squeak later, and the Silphally throws his head back and howls. A loud howl, sustained and joyful. It lasts for like ten seconds, possibly even longer. How does this pupper have the lungs for this, Ryner doesn't know.

And then, once the howl ends, Shira goes back to squeaking the toy with his paw. Squeak... squeak...]

Ahh, I think he likes it? And I'm glad he's actually paying attention to a toy for once, but...

[He's just never seen any of his mons play like this before. And he's been here a while.

(Squeak... squeak...)]

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

That Shrike is making a voice-only post isn't unusual, it's pretty par for the course for him. What is unusual is that he sounds a fair bit more subdued and hesitant than usual, more like how he was when he first arrived two years ago than recently.

"Um. Corrin and Sandalphon are gone."

There's a brief pause like he might say something more, but then the feed just ends instead.

Can you suggest any quests or activities worthy of a milestone birthday? I considered investigating those Bisharp evolution stories, but Ramza is still hesitant and I'd rather not rush him.

[Cecil's face is offscreen today, but his hands are visible and busy carefully applying nail polish to his Persian's claws. A lovely, sparkling shade of red, matching that forehead jewel. Someone's getting spoiled.

Honestly, it's a miracle he can be heard at all, with all the purring going on.]

Then again, as we lose the years we gained here once we return home, milestones stop being once-in-a-lifetime events. Perhaps that means a special celebration is unnecessary after all. Unless the miracle of being able to celebrate the same event twice makes every birthday-

[A paw bats at his face. No distraction allowed when there's a task at hand!]

Never mind. I'll leave that question to the philosophers among us.

As promised in the mysterious invitation, on March the First, every breeder (and potential guests) interested in attending, will be met by a flying taxi -- not a standard UBIRD this time, but instead a stately fleet of Corviknights, each carrying a small carriage. There is no further explanation inside the carriages or by the silent drivers of each carriage (no matter how much your character might try!). Instead, all you can do is take a flight of fate.

-*-

The Corviknight taxis will carry your character to Kanto, to an area on the outskirts of Viridian City, where one can find several large and old mansions. Your characters will be brought to the garden of the largest of these mansions, where a small fleet of uniformed servants and their Indeedee are waiting to lead you inside to a large, ornate tea room.

Listen, some of your may have attended the prom hosted by Riegfried and Soy. If you did, then you'll have been surrounded by wealth once. The wealth on display here though is different; where Riegfried and Soy's wealth is new, almost playful, this is Old Wealth. Its stately mansions and hereditary titles and extremely fancy little finger sandwiches served on even fancier little plates.

Frankly, unless you are already used to this sort of thing, it's somewhat uncomfortable.

-*-

Waiting, as your characters are lead into the tea room and onto old, expensive chairs, is an old man and a young woman. A regal Nineties sits at his side, while an adorable little Alolan Vulpix rests on a silk pillow besides her. Both are dressed to the nines, though the man's clothing is far more stuffy than that of his companion. His expression too lacks her warm and open excitement; instead he regards everybody with a stiff expression that best can be described as 'Oh, must we?'. You get the sense that the only reason he is not rolling his eyes at all of this is because he was brought up better.

It's his female companion who takes command of the situation though, clapping her (finely gloved) hands together to call for everybody's attention.

"Welcome all. Thank you for responding to mine and my uncle's--"

( "My uncle and mine's, do speak properly, Honoria." comes the sotto voce interjection, though this Honoria cheerfully ignores it)

"-- invitation. I'm certain you are all familiar with our fine work--" At the undoubtedly confused faces, she looks a tiny bit crestfallen. "No? Oh heavens. Then please allow me to introduce ourselves! I'm Honoria Ameliá Hornsbury, and this is my uncle Reginald Archibald Hornsbury the Third. We are the present chairs of the Johtonian-Kantonian Breeders Association. The JKBA has a long history of uniting the best breeders in our combined regions under a single banner."

"Rightly so!" Reginald takes over, his hands folded on the head of his cane, and his expression can only be described as 'resting patronising'. "Ours are not common breeders. The pokemon produced by the JKBA are the finest and most skilled pokemon around. For generations we've strived to better ourselves and our pokemon; to create pedigrees any trainer could be proud to own! Not that I'm sure many of you here would understand the importance of such a thing."

Honoria swiftly cuts in again. "Uncle, you promised to be nice!" And then back to the crowd with a big, bright smile. "Yes, the JKBA has always strived to be a gathering of only the best of the best. Up until now, membership of the JKBA was not open to, ah, individuals like yourself. But I believe it is time for a change! And my uncle has agreed to agree with me. So, as of this moment, JKBA applications are open to you far-flung travellers from beyond the stars! On your tables, you'll find more information about our darling Association for you to peruse and consider." And yep, there it is -- fancy little booklets silently and swiftly supplied by the waiting staff. "I, for one, would certainly love to see you among our number."

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.))

All right, this is getting actually dangerous, more than just a pain...

[The video feed is focused on a huffy Azumarill, who looks incredibly scratched up and just not having a good time of it. Ryner is sitting out by the pond with this Azumarill, tending to its wounds with Potions and also some cleaning rags.]

Does anyone happen to know whose Galarian Meowth keeps getting out? Because it keeps coming to the pond and trying to kidnap the Magikarps, and it really shouldn't be doing that.

[Worse than kidnap, really, but he's trying to be nice.

Then there's the telltale sound of a Gyarados roaring, a Hyper Beam charging up and firing, and a flash of light that's bright enough to see even not pointed in that direction at all. Ryner doesn't seem surprised.]

It's been doing this for weeks now, and it doesn't know when to stop. I've tried reasoning with it, but that hasn't worked. And the Gyarados are doing their best to drive it away, but they need to be able to sleep sometimes too, you know? And now even the local wild Pokemon are getting caught in the crossfire.

{"Rill." The Azumarill is not pleased.]

Ahh, could you hold still? I'm almost done...

You know, I was under the impression that I'd taught my Pokémon to keep their word whenever possible. Yet it seems I was wrong, and now I've to deal with this thankfully small pile of eggs.

[The pile in question is, by any regular standards, enormous, but the years have long twisted Cecil's sense of scale when it comes to such matters. Still, Rosie the Clefable does look almost worried as she pats each egg in turn, and Cecil himself looks like he's battling a headache.]

If any of the available species catch your eye, feel free to buy an egg or two. Considering the circumstances and our... need to revise our agreement, I cannot promise they'll be available during our usual summer clutch, or even in the foreseeable future.

[Rosie turns away from the pile just long enough to shrug at the camera. Their trainer is a softy, there's no way he won't let them have their regular summer fun!]

You arrive before the sun sets over the shining sea, a little before 5 o’clock. A fleet of Corviknight taxis descend near the entrance of the castle, slowly setting their passengers on the ground and allowing them to depart. The golden rays of sunshine illuminate the edges of the castle, casting long shadows and making it take on a rather ominous appearance. Better hop to it–you wouldn’t want to miss the Halloween party, now would you?

[Today on the network, Ryner is... huh, over by Slowpoke Well. That's not somewhere you see him most of the time. But that's definitely Slowpoke Well. Not exactly the most well-framed shot of it, since Ryner still isn't super great at composition, but it has its own inherent natural beauty to it, especially with the autumn leaves of the nearby trees.]

I've had some stuff on my mind, lately, so I'll just toss the question out to the network, I guess...

What does family mean to you?

[Yup, that's just been on his mind. Definitely not sparked by a significant anniversary or anything. Certainly not tied into just having finished lunch with a certain very nice old couple and leaving a certain Pokemon with them for a few hours so they can hang out. Just coincidence, out of nowhere. Mmhmm.

His Clefairy approaches the well and carefully starts peeking up over the outer wall, looking to see if she can see the bottom from up here.]

Ahh, be careful, okay Rose? Don't want you to fall down by accident or anything.

*The video opens to a nice view of the interior of Sion and Ryner's house. There's the living room, and the dining room table beyond that, and some of the kitchen counter visible beyond the far corner there. But that's probably not the noteworthy part of the image. In fact, it's probably almost an afterthought, really. Why?

Everything is positively covered in eggs.

There's eggs on the couch, eggs on the armchairs. Eggs on the table and visible on the kitchen counters. Small groups and stacks of eggs on any convenient piece of furniture, and quite a few on the floor. There's even one particularly large pile utterly dominating the middle of the living room.

It's a lot of eggs.

Once everyone's gotten a nice, good view of the terrifying eggocalypse, Sion's voice can be heard from offscreen.*

As is perhaps rather evident, Ryner and I seem to have found ourselves with a few extra eggs about. Should anyone be interested, a list of what's available as best as we can determine is attached.

*There's a pause, then he adds:*

And if you happen to be a fan of Magikarp, then don't hesitate to help yourself to as many as you please.

*... so that's what the giant pile is!*

((In case you missed it, the list of available eggs is here! Also both Sion and Ryner will be replying to this post; please specify if you want to thread with one or the other in particular!))
