Test Drive Meme - October/November

[bestmomever]

Late October/Early November Test Drive Meme!



It's late October. After the Team Rainbow Rocket attack, life has slowly come back to normal. The people have relaxed for the most part, but there's a sense of unease knowing that Alola was under attack from Team Rainbow Rocket. But the people of Alola are grateful for the Ultra Guardians and have redoubled their efforts to accept the Fallers and help them with whatever there needs to be. To this end, a new doctor has been instated in Alola General, the first to have come willingly through the Ultra Holes. A relief worker from another Earth named Dr. Angela Mercy. She'll take care of your needs.

Oh also, Acerola has begun campaigning for the local spooky day of Halloween, as the Ghost Pokemon have seemingly multiplied on Alola! With more and more spirits, Greedy Rapooh, her main Pokemon, has started showing up everywhere on the island to make a fuss along with a ton of Ghost Pokemon to make mischief! Still, life goes on in Alola, and on the 31st, the island will be decorated for treats, and a small mini-festival for the day as people celebrate the ghost pokemon.


A. Arrival

Another wave of Ultra Holes have opened up over the Island, alarms have appeared and the Ultra Guardians as well as Bewear has come into play. This time, the Fallers have been asked to intercept the literally Falling people who are coming out of the holes and brief them and bring them to the Pokemon Center, ie Immigration to get checked in. Wicke is there to answer questions but a few volunteers may be there as well. The experienced Fallers can get you up to speed.


B. The Alola Community Visitors Plaza

A venue usually for tourists, new Fallers are given a chance to see the main tourist area for Alola, in order to orient and familiarize themselves with the nature of Alola and Pokemon in general. A far cry from the disorganized mob that was originally there, this time, there are people set up in the stands, ready to receive tourists and Fallers alike. Pamphlets, interviews with locals and tour guides, Ride Pokemon to take you around the island, and various other places are available. Please look around, the choice is yours. For the end of the month, it is now decorated for Halloween.


C. The Hau’oli City Markets

This is where the marketplace stands, full of fresh fruit and food. Those who are hungry can be treated to a delicious taste of Alola. Not once, not twice, but more times than they can imagine. Your coin is good here, even if it’s alien in nature. Even if you don’t have coin, you’ll be fine. Ohana. No one is left behind or forgotten. We’re not about to let people go hungry in this world. Nature’s bounty is for everyone, humans and Pokemon alike. There’s no need to steal, just ask the marketplace for some food if you are very hungry. Even if you’re shy, Miss Anela will offer you a snack. This time however, it is now serving Halloween themed treats and pumpkin treats as well.


D. Job Board

Odd Jobs have been posted here right now, thanks to the efforts of the people who have decided to help the Fallers out, and it’s also a help wanted board for those who want to earn some coin in the middle of the week before the beginning of the school year. Tasks such as bucking crates of Juice off a truck, to doing some simple paperwork in an office for a few days, and even tending Pokemon in a farm on Akala Island. The choice is yours. Get out and explore. There's also now halloween themed decorating jobs and pumpkin harvesting related things.


E. Exploring Melemele

If you wish to explore Melemele, it is a big island, and there is plenty to see. There are Forests, Honey Fields, Hot Springs, Beaches, and many other places. Melemele boasts one of the biggest cities Hau’oli City, and is the capital of Alola. Here, up at the top of a large plateau is the challenge area where Hala offers the Grand Trial. The caves are full of Pokemon, and your Pokemon are eager to prove themselves in a Trial. You can also check out Ula'ula's Ghost Town if you want, the ferry is open this time, and Acerola will show you around her library.


F. Grand Trials

The Four Kahuna are accepting challengers once more. Those who wish to participate in the sacred trials are allowed to participate in the Grand Trials once more, to earn the right of the Z. With the goals in mind, you may undertake a Trial to earn a Z-Crystal first, and then take on a Grand Trial for a Z-Ring and a Z-Crystal. The choice is yours which to tackle first.


G. Acerola's Library/The Ghost Town

Home of Acerola's Library, Greedy Rapooh's tombstone and graveyard and the Grand Trial of Ula'ula, this spooky little town is a historical site and a place of history. You can find amazing things in this place, and it connects to the Desert. Yes, a literal desert where you can travel to an Oasis and meet the Tapu of the location. There's also a fantasticly high amount of Alolan Meowth here as well. It's a Dark Type paradise.


H. Melemele General Hospital

After the battle and maybe just for a checkup, all Fallers and everyone else would be introduced to a new unique Doctor that has arrived. Apparently, on her side, these Ultra Holes have been opening up on a regular basis where she has been stationed, so she was sent through. Deciding her best option was to set up as a Doctor, Dr. Angela Mercy is now the Fallers Primary Physician. While her healing is both traditional and literally near-magical nanotech healing, and she can revive you or your Pokemon from a near-KO state, she prefers not to be on the front lines unless truly required. But as a member of the relief team from another Earth, she vows to help everyone with their troubles. You can talk to Angela any time you need, even just for a visit.


I. Aether Labs

Now that there's new critical data brought in by Courtney's spies into Team Rainbow Rocket, the Ultra Guardians can go on the offensive. Which means, Aether Labs is open to the science community! The scientific community heads can now access the labs, and the resources within. Under the guidance of Wicke, Faba and, Burnet, you're allowed access to Aether's resources to build and invent and upgrade and repair your own equipment.

Comments

Nozomi Yumehara | Yes! Precure 5 (Many CRAU)

[cureofmanyworlds]

A) Arrival

“Hey! HEY! Give that back!” There’s a new arrival from an Ultra Portal but it seems more natural. Well, except for the pink-haired girl screaming at the person hauling away a large Crystal from the ship she arrived in. “I need that to get back home!”

Too late, the figure’s gone into the forest, leaving the girl to slump over the railing. “Ugh, really?”

C) Markets

“Oh, pumpkin pie! Thank you!” Nozomi’s luck got the better of her as she wandered the Markets. Her stomach growled, leading to one of the workers to offer her a slice of pie, which she happily took. “This is really good! Have you had some of this before?

I) Aether Labs

“Ah, I don’t mind helping but isn’t this taking a little long?”

It seemed that Nozomi’s wandering had lead her to Aether Labs. And seeing as she’s probably the first person to openly admit she’s a super hero, the scientists are busy looking over every inch of her as Cure Dream.

“Kinda getting sleepy here!”

J) Wildcard

(Fill in your own!)

I) Aether Labs

[fallers_npcs]

"Don't worry, we're almost finished." replied Angela, adjusting her glasses as she finished scribbling a few notes on her datapad. "You can step down now from the scanning podium, Nozomi."

She smiled as she reached over to a jar and pulled out a candy for her and offered it to her patient. "Thank you for sharing your baselines with us. This will help with studying the Z-power Phenomenon that was appearing in our world as well. We were surprised when it first manifested and we had no explanation of what it was. To think it would begin to appear in Fallers as well."

Re: I) Aether Labs

[cureofmanyworlds]

“Ah, thank you!” Nozomi said, taking the candy offered and nibbling on it. “So, it’s not just here, but in other worlds, too?” She tilted her head curiously at that. “That’s real strange.”

C

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes wasn't used to people starting conversations at random, or even talking in his general direction. The man gives a small frown as he looks at the pink-haired girl and tilts his head curiously. It takes him a long time to respond and even when he does, his words are heavy and slow.

"... No. It smells... strange." Wes hasn't seen a damn pumpkin before today. "... How good is 'really good'?"

Re: C

[cureofmanyworlds]

Nozomi blinks at Wes’ comment. Smells strange? No way! She sniffs it just in case.

“It’s probably how they cooked it, but it’s quite delicious.” Nozomi said. “It’s pumpkin and pie filling and the crust is good and crunchy and there’s even whipped cream on top! Try it!”

Kinro | Dr. Stone

[rulesarerules]

A. Arrival

If Kinro had the misfortune to be brought any time before this point in time, he would have not accepted any of this.

But he did.

The man Senku had changed his life, and everyone's lives for the better, so when the Ultra Hole had blossomed in front of his village in the middle of Winter, he didn't hesitate. Telling everyone to get back, the Buzzswole had emerged from the Ultra Hole and bellowed a challenge.

Team Fighting Force had taken command, and Kinro led the charge. The fighting was brutal, and while many of their forces had taken damage, one of them almost got their blood sucked by the oversized mosquito for what else could it be?! But then, without warning, a second creature blossomed from the hole behind it. It was small, adorable, and yet, it took to Kinro like butter and bread.

"Go! Attack the creature!"

"EEVEE!"

With a ferocious power unbeknown to its size, the Eevee slammed into the Buzzswole as Kinro glowed with a power, the Z, as he and Eevee chased it back through the Ultra Hole. "Forgive me friends," he said, "Protect the village, Ginro, Kohaku!"

And then he was gone. And in another world.

One encounter with the Ultra Guardians later, and the Buzzswole was gone, back to its own world, and Kinro was stuck in another world with a Pokemon Partner.

So, here he was, sitting on a veranda at the Pokemon Center, rubbing the Eevee's head as it ate Malasada. "So... Senku. This world is like the one that we strive to achieve."

He shaded his eyes, at the sight of thousands of humans walking across the veranda. "What a magnificent world this is, Senku, everyone. I want you to see it all."


E. Exploring Ula'Ula

Kinro was interested in the lore of this land. So much like his own, and yet not. He was forbidden to hunt his meat, and was instead provided currency not unlike the Dracos that he and his fellow man had created.

So, using some of these P, he took a boat and went to Ula'Ula where he was told a Library of Lore stood.

Standing in front of Acerola's library, he opened the door with Eevee on his shoulder, and then noticed that someone else was in the library that day. A familiar face. "Oh, hello."

The language on his tongue was still unfamiliar to him, a side effect of the Ultra Hole, and yet, it felt right, natural.

"Did you come to read the Thousand Stories here?"


J. Wildcard

By all means toss something new and exciting at Kinro!

E

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

Wes wanted information. It was natural to want that sort of thing, after all. Now that he was free(???), he wanted to learn. To understand something about this place.

Usually, Wes isn't one for talking but he was always listening and he had a good short-term memory. Seeing Kinro, he gives a nod to acknowledge the familiar face he's seen around.

"Thousand... stories? There are more books than that." Wes always took things literally. It was a pain talking to him sometimes. "... I wanted to learn about Alola."

Re: E

[rulesarerules]

Kinro nodded curtly as he settled into the building. He wasn't used to such a dwelling, but he could appreciate how homely it was, and how rich the building felt as both a dwelling and a place of learning. "I see," he said. "I hadn't seen many stories here before."

Moving towards a bookshelf, he picked a book out of the bookshelves and opened it up, peering at the writing for a moment. "... what language is this?" he asked curiously.

The language of the book he was looking at was Kalosian, a equivalent of real world French, but to him, it would look like jumbled up English, something he hadn't seen before. Kinro, had only learned Japanese before, and only had begun to learn how to write recently over the last year before becoming literate. "Are there any books in Japanese?"

Wes | Pokemon Colloseum (Post Game AU details on his page)

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

A. Arrival.

Wes lands on his feet. One would think being thrown out of an interdimensional wormhole would knock the sails out of someone but years of being pumped up on drugs give Wes the ability to secure his landing. The man immediately recovers and looks around, both his gold eye and his blue eye surveying his surroundings.

Where was his master?

What was this place? This wasn't the desolate sand-wastes of Orre. The air is crisp and fresh and everything is green. Wes looks around in confusion. He wasn't supposed to be on a mission and yet here he was. Without his Pokemon too...

If he sees you or hears you, he'll turn and growl, balling his metal fist. Is he an animal? If you've somehow managed to wrestle him to the Pokemon Centre, he's also growling at the Nurse Joy. Oh dear...

------

B. The Alola Community Plaza

He was told to go to the community plaza to get himself orientated. He assumed this was a simple order and one he could do quickly. However, he didn't really expect for so many people to be there. He's not used to crowds. He was a stealth weapon and he usually operated alone or with Doc... this was very out of his element.

He stares long and hard at the pamphlets before walking away from them and does his best to avoid the rides. Honestly, he's a little uncomfortable with all these people asking him if he needed help. People always wanted something. Something from him. What did they want? Why did they want to help?

"Leave... me alone..." He growls, voice raspy from lack of use.

Would they leave him alone if he took something? Well... whether you find him scowling at the helpful tour guides or picking up a pumpkin and walking off, it's evident this man needs help.

He sure as hell looks like he doesn't know what a pumpkin is.

------

H. is for Hospital

He got into a fight again. Not that this wasn't unexpected, Wes was used to getting into fights all the time. What was unexpected was that Bewear appeared out of nowhere and blocked his punch with its own punch. Wes was strong and steel was strong but so was that Pokemon, so the fight ended with the damaged machine.

Damn it. He needed his own Pokemon. Espeon and Umbreon weren't here though... and... and he didn't want anyone else. Could another Pokemon understand him like his partners?

You may see Wes walking towards the hospital, holding the purple machine that constituted for his arm. He growls as he slowly takes the machine off his stump of a shoulder, barely wincing as spark flies.

Maybe help him get into the hospital? Or attend to this patient when he gets there? Or maybe redirect him to a mechanic...

B

[adora_plz]

"Hey yo, don't be taking our pumpkin display and all," snapped Adora, trying to be "street" for a moment, when Wes grabbed the Team Skull pumpkin display. "At least get some cookies first before you take the whole pumpkin!"

Adora was dressed in a Team SKull outfit, her hair tied up in a skull bandanna, the little poopy-expression face on her hair and she looked so uncomfortable with the rap music blaring behind her, but she was manning the table while Rapp took five. "C'mon man, give it back," she managed to grate out nervously. "Please?"

Alice Pennywort & Phym | God Eater 3

[devilish_chrysanthemum]

Arrival

Ahh, the clear blue sky, the sand beneath your feet, the feel of the wind on your face! There's nothing quite like it!

Enjoy it while you can, because there's a young woman and a little girl bodily picking up anyone they see and throwing them directly into the Pokemon Center.

"This section's clear! I'm going to look for survivors, Phym, you guard the building!"

The little girl nods at this, looking extremely determined.

"Right, Mommy! Be careful!"

Re: Alice Pennywort & Phym | God Eater 3

[fallers_npcs]

Oh boy what was this nonsense now?

First Team Rainbow Rocket, then the guy with the bike who was stealing Pokemon, now this? Sigh, couldn't Alola catch a break?

Guzma looked up from the literal Bake Sale he was manning at the approaching woman with red eyes and black hair and frowned. Slouching towards her, he exclaimed, "Hey, you know, throwing people into the Arrivals Center while we're trying to sell baked goods is bad for business. Also, chill."

Can he even get two words out before she bodily tosses him into the building?

Bedivere | Fate/Grand Order | OTA

[ordinaryknight]

City Markets

[Anyone who happened to be wandering about the market today could find Bedivere milling about with his Ralts in tow. It had been a while since breakfast for the both of them and now seemed like a good time to have lunch.]

Lucan, what would you like to have?

Ralts... ralts...

[The small psychic Pokemon adopted a contemplative pose as he thought. Bedivere waited patiently, only once glancing over at the different array of bread on display. Specifically the veggie bread was catching his eye.]


Odd Jobs

[There's something nostalgic about the harvest season. Memories of the times before Camlann and Camelot's fall where the common folk would begin to gather up the fruits of their labor to hopefully last the winter that lay ahead.

Reminiscence aside, Bedivere smiled a little as Lucan enthusiastically climbed atop one of the larger pumpkins and waved him over.]

Yes, this is a good one. Shall we take it back to the others?

Ralts!

Wild Card

[Open prompt here.]

City Markets

[acmellash]

"Ralts, the Feeling Pokémon. Ralts is the pre-evolved form of Kirlia. It can use the horns on its head to read human emotions. Ralts rarely shows itself to humans, but may occasionally approach when it senses positive or happy feelings." said Rotom, as they passed by the pair on the way to the house.

By that time, Ash was crouched near Raltz, grinning. "So cool! It's been a while since I saw Raltz! Hi there!"

The Doctor ( 11 ) | Doctor Who

[usernamesarecool]

{ A. Arrival }

There's no two ways about it, the Doctor has been busy-very suddenly his TARDIS seemed to do the equivalent of screeching to a halt and then a very violent turn that nearly threw him into the wall as though she'd managed to tip herself over. Warnings flashed all over the screens and to anyone that isn't a Time Lord they likely just looked like a bunch of random words and numbers such as 'Temporal shift 4386.458-3a' and 'Alignment 743914a3t4b'. What the Hell had just happened?

The Doctor stands and brushes his waistcoat off and frowns heavily at another warning '5-3h7511tb.' The TARDIS jerks again and he barely has time to grab onto the console to keep himself upright. 'Universal Shift- Recalibrating.' The words flash up on the screen and The Doctor feels the color drain from his face. Oddly enough though, The TARDIS seems okay-maybe a little queasy based on what sounds like unhappy moans from the cloister bells.

"Okay... you okay now?" He pets her soothingly, lovingly as she continues to moan and recalibrate. He's never seen this before be he vaguely remembers someone back in his academy days talking about a universal shift and suddenly he might regret tossing the manual into a supernova-just a bit.

He rubs thoughtfully at his chin but a steady stream of smoke coming out of the console has him rushing over to see what's going on. He begins to cough and has no choice but to dash out of the TARDIS, the cloud of smoke following.

"You could have just said you wanted alone time!" He huffs at his blue box before straightening his jacket and then bow tie. "Nice dear. I'll just... go and meet the locals, shall I?"

Re: The Doctor ( 11 ) | Doctor Who

[some_statement]

Nemuri Kayaba, aka the R-Rated Heroine Midnight had decided to go out for donuts when she heard the winding, groaning and scraping noise. "Braixen?" she called out, as her Pokemon who had been trailing behind stepped forward, holding up her stick cautiously.

She didn't have her suit on, since she wasn't on patrol, but as the TARDIS faded in, she frowned. "Another Faller?" she wondered to Braixen out loud.

"Brai, brai?" replied Braixen.

Nemuri Kayaba | My Hero Academia (Academy Days)

[some_statement]

Arrival
For the most part, Nemuri Kayaba had also been very busy too. Well, very busy going over her notes from class when the Ultra Hole had blossomed open in front of her, and she was immediately on guard as a gout of fire nearly clipped her. A Braixen emerged from the hole, fighting a Gardevoir as the campus turned into a short battlefield, Nemuri joining into the fray. She wasn't too certain which side she was on, but soon the portal was forcing the Gardevoir back and when it slipped through, the Braixen tugged on her sleeve. "Brai, brai!" She exclaimed, pulling Nemuri towards it.

"Hey wai--!" She exclaimed, seconds before she found herself in a long tunnel that traveled seemingly endlessly before it opened up into a freefall. "Oh shiiii-!"

Seconds before impact, a large pink bear caught the pair, and deposited the pair onto the ground. "O-oh, thank you." Said Nemuri.

Bewear patted the pair on the head, and gestured towards Immigration. "Okay...?"


City Markets

"Geez, look at this stuff, it's like a literal buffet and it's all cheap!"

"Brai, brai!" Exclaimed Braixen as Nemuri loaded on fruits and picked up a few drinks to go as well. Paying for her food, she grinned. "We're going to eat well tonight, Braixen!"

Sitting down in a bench, she split a Mago in half and took a bite as she handed it to Braixen. "Mmm, so good. This is living. Fresh air, tropical sunshine, cute boys, even some attractive girls. Man, this is the scent of youth everywhere!"

Wildcard #1

Even a city like this had its crime. The Police were good enough to make a case for her work, even if her outfit was questionable by their standards but her gimmick of non-lethal takedowns was a bonus in their eyes.

As such, Midnight, the R-Rated Heroine was on the case, working for the Police for some fashion. While there was no official team up, she would call in every crook she caught on her Rotom-dex.

Right now, she stood at the top of a building, doing a stakeout at a Jewelry store chain which had been burgled for the last three weeks. "Seems like this is the next target," she said to Braixen, who was similarily dressed in a outfit of her choosing to disguise the Pokemon from those who would identify her in her civilian form.

"Brai brai," said Braixen, handing Midnight a cup of coffee. "Brai?"

"I'm fine," said Midnight. "We should be careful though. We've got a good vantage point of the store, but so do the criminals if they've got a lookout."

Wildcard #2

Go nuts!

[hashtagparkerluck]

Spider-Man, while he works with the police a little more closely, also does things at his own pace and keeps the city free of crime. Or he would if there wasn't much crime to begin with. Mostly he just helps people with this and that and goes home not too long after midnight.

Tonight's different though-there's been a string of burglaries and he can't stand for that. Stealing stuff? On Spider-Man's watch? To be fair the robberies were said to happen after patrols and when he was in bed. Well, sort of. When he was home for the night anyway.

Spider-Man drops down on to a nearby roof, crouched down and watching the building closely. He doesn't notice the other hero just yet and adjusts his vision scope so he can see heat signatures.

"Okay, Karen. What you got for me?" He whispers as he does a quick scan of the area.

"There is a lone heat signature to the southwest." Karen informs.

"What, really? Just one? I thought this was like a group." He glances at Shelob who's always close by and she just shrugs. "Should we check it out?"

Auniira Yvarragh | Dungeons and Dragons OC

[shadowgathering]

Arrival

The drow held up an arm to shield her sensitive eyes from the blinding Alolan sunshine. She'd lived on the surface long enough that the sun didn't really hurt any more, but even Auniira could not stare into the sun's face with impunity.

"What...what is going on here?" she asked.


Exploring Melemele

Despite being told that she should not go anywhere without a Pokemon (one having not appeared to choose her, yet), Auniira scoffed internally at such a thing, and left the city anyway. It was warm, but she hadn't changed from the clothes she'd arrived in into anything cooler. Temperature extremes weren't a thing she was unused to--and it was cooler anyway, under the boughs of the forest's trees.

She had not expected to be accosted by an angry, buzzing insect-monster. But Aunirra did not cower, though she had no idea what she was dealing with, here...

(Beedrill. It's a Beedrill...)


Melemele General Hospital

"So I am told this is where the healers are stationed?" Auniira does know what she's good at--magical healing. Even if she's a bit imperious and comes off as a bit full of herself. It's an affliction that all drow come equipped with--she really doesn't mean much by it...

Exploring

[rulesarerules]

"Eleckid, Thundershock!" Exclaimed Kinro, as the electrical Pokemon leaped into the fray. It's swinging arms discharged a thunderous bolt of electricity as it shocked the Beedrill, driving it backwards.

Kinro's ferocious glare fixated on the Beedrill and it was like a Leer, the Beedrill wincing under his glare. "Leave," he said, as Eleckid charged up another attack.

Peni Parker | Spider-man into the Spider-verse

[lucky_peni]

Arrival - For Peter

"Konnichiwa! You know this is really kinda weird but not totally weird because I did this whole song and dance once before, and now I'm right next to you and my robot is parked in your garage and this is my best friend and your dad is really cool looking and hi I'm Peni Parker.

PETERTINGLE

"You're like me!"

Okay, this is officially the worst day ever for Peter, as Peni Parker is literally sitting on Peter's bed.

"Can I have the top bunk?"

You don't have bunk beds Peter.

Arrival #2

Peni Parker loves this place. She's wandering around in SP//DR, riding up top on top of her newly rebuilt robot, watching everything go by. "This, is the coolest thing in the world. It's so TROPICAL! And I get to play with tech while everyone gets to help out. Hi, hello, Alola!"

She waves. "But I should get a Pokemon but I don't wanna be like Peter right now. He's being grumpy and Shelob is like trademarked y'know? Ariados maybe?"

SP//DR nodded.

"Ariados it is! Let's go find one!"


Aether Labs

"So... behind that vault are weapons that'll eat me?"

"Yes. Or turn you into creepy monsters."

"Okay. I'm not going to even attempt to hack it even if Tony said I should try."

With a "wait what?" passing by, she wandered back to the secure area of the testing facility to look at the diagram of the Moebius Strip. "Huh, that looks familiar..."


Wildcard

Go nuts

[hashtagparkerluck]

Peter's had a rough night and he's really not quite ready to face the day just yet because if it's anything like last night then he quits. He straight up quits. He's not sure what he quits but he quits.

There's movement in the room and a soft weight at the end of his bed and internally rolls his eyes. Were his actions last night that alarming? Can't they just chalk it up to him being a moody teenager? And then the intruder speaks and he has to pull the blanket down, blinking in confusion-his sense buzzing lightly but not in the typical 'DANGER!' fashion.

"Wha...?" He squints at this girl that's waaaay too cheerful for whatever time in the morning it is.

"My dad? I don't have-" He shakes his head. She's like him. He's way to tired to solve that riddle but he get the feeling the buzzing spideysense is a clue.

"Top...? There's no bunk bed???" He questions before throwing the blanket back over his head and curling further into his bed.

Sadu Heavensflame | Final Fantasy XIV

[soulburnsbrighter]

Arrival

She had not been expecting the bear. As the immense pink being set her down gently, Sadu could only stare up at Bewear in amazement. Such things did not exist upon the Steppes--and if they did, like as not, they were more intent on eating you.

Apparently, despite going through the strange hole at the head of the Dotharl vanguard, her luck had not been all bad...


City Markets

There's a distinct lack of meat, and Sadu can't help but scowl a bit at that. There are people and their odd little creatures (or bigger creatures, in truth) wandering about the place. There even seem to be some unattached ones, but that makes no difference to the Dotharli khatun. "You!" she snarls, pointing the Shattered Star, her rod, at the hapless market stall veteran. "Give me food--I shall trade you for gil!" She does have some coin on her, after all.

Her blustering is soon dispersed, however, when something slams into her legs. She glances down to see a small lizardlike creature, that blinks up at her with large blue eyes.

Sadu frowns, even as the stall owner gives her a handful of berries and takes a pair of gil in return. She tucks the rest of the coins back into a pouch at her belt, even as the lizard creature throws its head back and lets out a ringing cry. And then, it belches flame at her--not at her, precisely, but in the hopes she'll drop her berries.

Not that she disappoints, but if the beast is expecting her to drop them all? It will be sadly bereft, considering she only drops two--and does not crush the rest in a fit.

"Ha! Bravado and flame! I like it!" she cackles, offering the Charmander one more berry, simply because it did have the sheer gall to stand up to her.


Wildcard

Feel free to come at her if you've ideas--or if you're brave enough!

City Markets

[lucky_peni]

Peni was walking along, carrying an armload of groceries when she noticed the new lady at the stands. She looked kind of like a mutant, or maybe a superhero. Though she was dressed like a tribal leader. She had a Charmander of an odd color and she smiled. "Oh hello. Are you new around here as I am?"

G, H

[letyoushine]

G. Acerola's Library

Andre has been trying very, very hard to find a book he can read. None of these make any sense to him! If they've been receiving people from all over, there should be some books he can read, right? Something to explain this better...
Should he ask where the foreign books are?

... even just flipping through the books and looking at illustrations like a child, he can't make much meaning out of the sights depicted. It's like he's been transported to some world of legends, or he's having a very long, very strange dream.

What strange creatures... what strange machines...

(Speak to the terribly lost 18th century French soldier?)

H. Melemele General Hospital

If everything else is far beyond anything he'd experienced before, unless this was a terribly cruel dream, dangling vain hopes before him, he might be able to save the vision in his remaining eye. That way, he can still fight, he can keep his word and stay always by Oscar's side to keep her safe, he can better fulfill his purpose.

"Are you the physician?" he asked quietly.

Dr. Angela, was it?
