[It's early morning when the broadcast goes out under Penny's Pokénet ID, after a week of radio silence. Her voice is shaky and hesitant, but clear enough.]


Um. This is Penny Polendina. I'm- I'm awake.

I'm fine.

[Hiccup.]

I'm. If anyone was worried, I'm sorry.

[There's a moment of fumbling, and then the feed clicks off.]

((OOC: content warning for drinking, additional angst, and spoilers. opt-out is yonder.

EDIT: general catch-all for the month of July, its events, for the entire RWBY cast (minus Ruby herself) is over here if you prefer an action thread that isn't. well. this mess :V ))


[ did people know Yang could sing? she's not halfway bad, but the clarity is diminished by the rasp of her voice, and something else that dulled the edge of her tone. the former has to do with the redness of her eyes and the matching dark circles beneath them. the latter's cause is more obvious: five empty bottles of beer placed neatly back in the cardboard holder beside her on the park bench.

it could just be Yang's choice of song, too. it started out optimistic, but did not carry that mood throughout the entire piece. by the end Yang sounds more tired than she's ever been, and raises her remaining half-empty bottle toward the night sky. her tone is bitter. her words slurred slightly. ]


To Penny... may she wake up from her coma with some good memories for once. If anyone deserves some, it's her.

[ one drink from the bottle. another toast into the air. ] To Ruby, who's ... gone on her way to Haven or somewhere by now. Probably.

[ one last drink. one last toast. this is the part where good kids should be in bed (or at least turn off the broadcast). ] And to me! Happy fucking birthday, Yang "Danger" Xiao Long.

[ Yang finishes the bottle, glares at it in disappointment, then almost drops it, but her new Houndoom takes it in his mouth at the last moment to save it from a grizzly fate. ] Huh? Oh. Thanks Drei. You're a good dog. [ she tries to reach out with her right hand to pat him on the snout except... there's no arm to do that with. one futile wriggle of her stump, hidden safe from view behind the tied off sleeve of her top, left Yang frowning. ] Who'm I kidding. The only person I'm a danger to is myself.

[It's midnight, the sixteenth. Honestly, everyone should be sleeping right now.]

I just thoguht of something.
that meat you buy from the store, what is it?


[...Except for when it comes to Rakka, she's been having a slight bit of difficulty with that. For a couple days now.]

I mean
where does it come from? Ive never seen a normal animal around besides pokemonoh no
are we eating pokemon?? is that it??


[And that would be where the texts stop for the night, but rest assured... or don't, Rakka is wide awake and ready for answers.

Or demands that she goes to sleep. That too.

What: ALL THE THINGS
Where: Teen Angst Haus Team Remnant's new home in Goldenrod City, also around town
When: Any time in July (unless starters say otherwise)
OOC Note: There could be spoilers for the finale of RWBY volume 3 just about anywhere but ESPECIALLY in threads with Yang so here's her opt-out post as usual. She's really easy to avoid in this log because...

TEAM REMNANT CATCH-ALL!! That means ANYONE can come or go from the house if they're in the Goldenrod City area through the month of July. Generally no matter the day, or the event, but please coordinate with individual players of residents of this big house, and use the log below as you please. Bring us everything, new CR or old!!

Please, no thread-jacking unless you clear it with all parties involved and especially not if threads are marked closed, and PM me if I need to add some serious warnings to this post. Good luck and have fun!

[The feeds snaps on to show a rather grizzled man with a beard and eyepatch patting a rather friendly dog Pokémon. A Poochyena to be precise. Boss grunted in amusement when the dog started to chew on his metallic arm. A toy? Well, the Pokémon thought the metal was rather interesting compared to his other normal limb.]

Hngh. A dog? Didn't think I'd end up having another one trailing after me.

[Boss picked up the empty Poke ball from his back pack and studied it. How could such a large animal fit in such a small device? It was all rather confusing right now. Also, what was that music playing? It sounded like a tape but no music he'd ever heard on his iDroid before.]

Hey! Watch the arm. [Snake scalded the energetic Pokémon when he bit down on one of Snake's prosthetic fingers. He was only a puppy but still. He needed those fingers.]

Going to call you DD. You're just like him. Good dog. [Snake patted Poochyena's head and made the dog sit. Good. At least he was learning. It wasn't the first time he'd had a dog follow him and try to lick his face. Snake focused back to the video feed and sighed.]

Anyone hear me? Can someone tell me what's going on and why these animals seem to fit inside tiny balls? [Yeah. He's going to go with that first of all.]

[Being that she isn't the most social of butterflies, Agent Carolina hasn't been on the network in quite a while. More than that, though, she's been a bit busy, as she'll later reveal.

But for anyone who may remember how stoic and withdrawn her first few posts were, they may be surprised to see how open and bright she seems now, smiling gently at the camera as if she'd just been laughing at her stupid blood gulch boys.

Behind her stands her faithful sparring partner, her Pangoro and spoiled child Aggie.]


Hey, trainers. I've got something useful for you coming up.

Starting next week-- that's the eighth of July, for you-- you can now take self defense classes with myself, or, if you're younger, my partner North. If you're wondering who the hell I am and how the hell I can teach classes like this, I'm former freelancer Agent Carolina, top rated in mixed martial arts in... 'the future'.

[ahem.]

I'll be holding classes every day in Goldenrod except for Saturdays, and I'll train whoever's willing in mixed martial arts, and... maybe even teach you to fight with your pokémon.

[Behind her, Aggie gives a grunt of agreement before attempting to return to his cool-guy demeanour.]

North will teach anyone under 12 years old on Fridays, and I'll teach anyone over that. If you don't have money to pay for it, I'll accept clean-up work instead.

Now, I know some of you are still struggling with road closures and limited travel, so... if that's a problem, let me know, and we'll see what three Freelancers can't do to get you started.

[While Luna has seen other people's video messages on the PokéGear, she's not sure if she's ready for her debut, especially without knowing how many people are here exactly.]

Hello, everyone. My name is Luna, and I've just arrived here. You have probably seen many messages like this one, but I have a few questions and I'd greatly appreciate some answers.

1) What is this place? I'm aware that this question isn't too precise, but any information will be of a great help.
2) Is there a doctor here?
3) Is breeding...what I think it is?

Thank you in advance,
Luna

( Action )

[While this town can't be called a big one no matter how you look at it, it's still a bit too much to Luna who after wandering around for an hour or two needs to rest, even if for a while. Thankfully, she notices a bench just after the exhaustion kicks in and sits on it while her Audino takes a seat by her side.]

Do you know what is going on here?

[Clearly, she's addressing her own Pokémon; it just tilts it's head in a response, not sure what Luna may be referring to.]

Oh, that's silly of me...you can't speak human language. I-I'm sorry.

[There's no reason for her to apologize and yet. Looking pensive, Luna lays her eyes on her hands as she takes turns curling them into fists and opening them. Audino seems to be watching over her all this time, but all of a sudden it scoots closer to Luna and presses it's ear against her, just like the Pokémon was performing physical examination.

Which, in fact, Audino does. With that done, it reaches to the backpack Luna has received before and pulls the boxed lunch out. In the meantime, she doesn't move much, wondering what Audino is up to. It becomes clear a little while later, when the Pokémon is holding up a sandwich, trying to feed it's trainer.]


B-But it's not—

[Audino is having none of it and puts the sandwich into her mouth. Moreover, it seems that it won't let her off the hook until she'll eat everything.]

 [As the video feed switches on, there is a very timid and frightened girl on the screen. She's sitting on the bed in the house that she woke up in a day or so ago. After meeting up with a strange old man, being given a ball and this gear, she was lost, upset and ended up back at the very same house. A kind woman has taken her back in but it's quite clear that the woman was now hoping the young girl would soon set out on her journey. Like the others...

There was a skiddo on the bed next to her, her head resting on her lap and watching up at her with wide eyes. This skiddo has felt Prim's loneliness and pain. She feels it every time Prim runs her hand over her horns. And she didn't know how to make her trainer feel better. 

Prim's making this Gear post out because of the suggestion of the kind woman. If there was somebody she was desperately looking for, this would be the way.

There were tears brimming on her eyes as she tries to stare into the camera of her gear.]


Katniss...? They said that...if you were here, you would see this and contact me. I don't know where I am...and last time...

[Her voice catches for a moment and she tries to clear her throat.]

Last time I saw you...they were forcing you onto that train. And...I really want to see you again.

Please come take me home....


[There is a moment that the video hangs as she tries to figure out how to turn off the recording and just before the clip ends, you could faintly hear her begin to cry, with the skiddo making soft soothing sounds towards her]



[ooc: I promise Prim won't always be so sad. She just needs some love at the moment! She will desperately pick up any messages sent to her gear in the hopes that it's her sister. Or if anybody would like to coax her out into the world, please visit her in the random house in New Bark Town that she's hiding in!]

[She shouldn't post. Honestly, so long as anyone she knows is here Blake is half tempted to just throw this damn thing away - not because she does not want to see anyone again, but because what possible chance is there that they'd want to see her again? From the posts she's seen vigorously scouring the network they're from earlier down the timeline, which is one of the many concepts that completely baffled her on entry, but hopefully she'll get it eventually?

But there's no way she can hide who she is, no matter how she slices it. If she posts, she'll be found out eventually. If she doesn't, she'll be found out eventually. She's read through all her teammates' posts as research, and then some. Blake Belladonna came up. This isn't what she had wanted to happen, but how could she have predicted... this?

Her voice is even and low, with just the barest hint of a rasp to it.]


Hello. My name is Blake Belladonna, but... some of you already know me. I think I understand this place from what I've been told, but if anyone else has something I should know, I would welcome the advice. And...

[There's a long pause as she turns what she should say next over in her head.]

If anyone is looking for me, I'm leaving this town now. I won't be travelling very fast.

[Click! Off.]

[The feed is turned on to reveal the face of a very pale looking girl with an eyepatch. She looks...a bit confused, but that's probably normal. She glances away from the device for a moment, as if making sure no one's following her before finally speaking.]

...that wasn't my mother. I'm not sure what this place is, but I'm hoping there's someone who does. [There does seem to be a network of sorts, so she's assuming she's not just talking to some useless machine.]

...I hate phones.

[She grumbles quietly to herself for a moment.]


There was some odd creature following me too. Like some sort of cartoonish ghost. [She holds up a very well-done sketch of what's clearly a Shuppet.]

I would appreciate it if someone could fill me in. Thank you.

Who: Yang Xiao Long & others!
What: largely listless loitering
Where: Goldenrod City
When: prompts start on 6/1, extending into the weekend
Warnings: during the transfer from R29, Yang was given a canon update. she is now a walking spoiler for the end of Volume 3 of RWBY. as a result certain uncomfortable topics that may arise in dealing with her. I have an opt-out post which extends past just replying to this log. I'd appreciate it if you took a look there before replying at least to brace yourself. castmate threads will be especially difficult, so stalk those at your own risk!

But there are complications of a different kind )
