Who: Wrath, Lust, Envy, Scar, Henry
What: LASSIE WRATH COME HOME
Where: Shark House (ie, quiet suburban neighborhood in Goldenrod City)
Warnings: Later threads include graphic dialogue about subjects like child death/injury, suicide, etc.
Summary: Wrath can't avoid the inevitable any longer. After meandering in awkward emotional paralysis for a month, he finally arrives in Goldenrod City to find out if his family is still there or not.

Sheets are swaying on an old clothesline, like a row of captured ghosts over old, dried grass. )

MY SON

WHERE IS MY SON


I CANT FIND MY SON


[Elaboration? Nah.]

[He can't find his son.]

[It's as simple as that.]


WHO TOOK MY SON

I WILL FIND U

[ACTION for Cherrygrove City]

[Well, this morning sure could have gone better for everybody.]

[For exposition's sake, Wrath and his new team-mate had successfully (albeit very tiredly) wandered into Cherrygrove a couple nights back-- overheated and miserable, but alive (thanks to the efforts of all those who tried to educate Wrath on the benefits of staying hydrated).]

[They had then spent some time cycling between 'curled up on the PokeCenter sofa' and 'putting the drinking fountain through its paces'.]

[An important footnote about their journey: at some point, Wrath had finally looked at his PokeDex, and more specifically the entry for 'Cubone'. Even more specifically, the bit about being tragically orphaned. And thus, Wrath's Cubone gained his name and title: Son. Because what choice did Wrath have but to be the dad who stepped up? None, that's what.]

[This brief interlude of peace, hydration, and air conditioning ground to an abrupt halt when Wrath woke on the morning of the 6th to a distinct absence of Son, and the distinct presence of SOMETHING ELSE.]

[In the frenzy of not one, but MANY trainers in the lobby panicking and shouting over the discovery of mismatched Pokemon in their roster, the Nurse Joy on duty had to make some choices for the sake of safety. One of those choices, unfortunately for Wrath, had to be "the screaming, snarling child flinging chairs around and accusing random bystanders of taking 'his son'" needed to leave.]

[AND SO: Wrath the ex-Homunculus and Boo the very frightened Froslass were cast out into the merciless wastes of... quaint beach town, Cherrygrove City.]


--HAVE TO FIND HIM! I HAVE TO FIND HIM!

PUT THAT DOWN! THAT'S MINE, NOT YOURS!!

[Wide-eyed, panting, nearly frothing at the mouth, Wrath snaps this at the Froslass, who had snatched up his rucksack. He swipes for it, but it's too late. It's already a block of ice.]

[The timid ghost-type skitters out of reach, and Wrath makes to pursue her, but-- oh come on!! His automail leg won't move from its spot, partially sunk into the sandy path. Which has now also become a block of ice. He yanks on it, once, twice, then lets out a garbled screech as his bare, normal-flesh-foot slides out from under him as the ground under that turns into a patch of slick ice, too.]


AAARGH!

[No matter how much he thrashes, flails his fists, or shouts, there is nothing he can do but yank ineffectively on his automail leg and watch Boo freeze herself a little igloo to hide inside. Along with all his worldly possessions.]

[The stream comes online with a view of a backyard from about 5 meters off the ground. There are enough leaves and branches in the shot to suggest that the cameraman is coming to you live from a precarious tree perch.]

[Some environmental storytelling:]

[1. A bent pair of garden shears lying in the grass beside the hedge.]

[2. An unconscious Zangoose.]

[3. A Sudowoodo pacing around the base of the tree, chattering and absolutely livid.]

[ACTION for Route 29]


[With a gritted-teeth groan, Wrath sets aside the PokeGear and presses both hands to his temples.]

[He's been walking west from New Bark with his new Pokemon partner for about five hours. And while his memories of once being human here are growing clearer by the minute, he doesn't remember it ever being quite like this. His head is throbbing and the heat is unbearable.]

[And there's no air-conditioned buildings or shady storefronts to duck into like there always had been in the Goldenrod City (or "the yellow town", as he always used to think of it).]

[At least there's trees, which is what he's finally opted for now that the sun is high in the sky and the thought of taking another step is about as appealing as sticking his head in a wasp's nest. Laying spread-eagled on the grass under the shade of a big maple is at least cooler... but it hasn't stopped the banging pains in his head.]

[Sitting next to him is both the (thus far unexplored) complimentary rucksack from "Mom", and his starter: a little Cubone, who's been watching him a little worriedly. Said Cubone is the one who pulled the PokeGear out of a pocket on the backpack and helpfully pointed out the internet search engine (prior to being assigned to his very! first! trainer!!!!! (exciting!) he had been cared for by Elm's various lab assistants, and had seen them look things up online for research regularly!), but it didn't seem like the search had been fruitful.]


"Bone?"

[Wrath cracks open one eye, grimacing-- his partner has started to rummage through the backpack, pulling out packets of trailmix and holding them up expectantly.]

[But he doesn't feel hungry-- he feels gross. :(]


You can have it...

[He's just gonna fold an arm over his face and lay there like a corpse for a bit.]

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.

[Someone is feeling a bit lonely today thanks to this mouse swarm. However, talking about things like this has always been difficult for her, especially in regards to feelings. Yet, she's not sure if she can keep bottling it up either. So have an anonymous text.]


Have you noticed how these mouse Pokemon are running around in pairs or in families of three or four?

It must be nice to have someone at your side without having to worry whether they'll leave. To have a family.

Do you have a family back home? What are they like?

[VIDEO 1, 9:04 AM]

[ One week after his previous entry, the feed opens with a cheerful Beetlejuice framing himself in the doorway of the Cherrygrove Pokemon Center. His cheeks are a little red and he's out of breath as though he's been running. ]

Whadyaknow! I made it to civilization! It takes more than a few angry Pikipek to stop the B-man!

[ He turns and enters the Pokemon Center and makes a b-line for the warp pad. He boards and grins into the camera.]

[The screen fizzles into static as the Warp activates. It only clears when he's arrived in Violet. Beetlejuice comes into view long enough to shimmy from one warp pad to the next. More static. More horror-movie shaky cam as he hustles from pad to pad. Another burst of static corrupts the video until the feed clears for a third time.]

[ Beetlejuice strides off the warp pad and brings his 'Gear back up to his face.]


PA-ZOW! Goldenrod, baby! Now all that's left is to board the...board the...the train...ough.

[ Suddenly, Beetlejuice is looking green as his hair after shotgunning three warps in a row. ]

Or maybe just--urk!

[ Luckily, the feed cuts before he McLoses his lunch. ]




[VIDEO 2, 11:31 AM]

[ A new video is posted a couple of hours later. Beetlejuice reappears on the screen, seemingly feeling much better. He walks with the 'Gear out in true selfie fashion as he travels the streets of the big city. ]

Alright, okay, we're on the lookout for good deeds that need doing. You hear me, Kirishima? I'm doing it! Oh--what do we have here? Hey, lady!

[ Beetlejuice sidles up to an old lady waiting at a crosswalk with a Stunky around her shoulders. He quickly slips his arm through one of hers and brings the Poke'Gear around to get them both in the frame. ]

Ah! Who are you?

Allow me!

[ He tugs her along out into the street. ]

Let me go, you hoodlum! I don't know you!

It's no trouble at all, ma'am!

[ The few cars that are on the road eek to a stop as the two of them cross. Once the reach the other sidewalk, Beetlejuice releases her and bows. ]

There you go, safe and--

PETUNIA!

[ The stunky around the woman's shoulders lifts her tail and blasts BJ full in the face with her spray. Beetlejuice screams and drops his 'Gear as he falls to his knees in a gagging/coughing fit. The lady harrumphs and toddles on her way. ]

Aaahhhggggh! Auughh! Ahuah! Khaff! Khaff! MY EYES!

[ He gropes around blindly for the Poke'Gear and somehow manages to turn it off. ]



[ACTION-- GOLDENROD, a public bench near you! - Around 12:00PM]

[ Anybody walking down this particular street has a better chance of smelling him before spotting the riot of black and white stripes that is Beetlejuice. He's laying face-down on a bench near a newspaper stand. The man running it is shooting him Looks and deciding whether or not to ask him to leave.]

[Occasionally BJ groans, but otherwise makes no attempt to pick himself up. It has not been his morning.]
