Test Drive Meme - October/November

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.

J. Wildcard

Nemuri didn't have this kind of tech, and she was hiding behind a retaining wall with a good viewpoint. Taking a moment to sip her drink, she warmed her hands a little as Braixen adjusted the sleeves of her disguise. "Comfy enough?" she asked her partner.

Braixen nodded as she looked around. Sniffing the air, she frowned a little. "Brai," she tugged her partner's leg.

Nemuri frowned. Someone was approaching? Braixen had those large ears, so if she was saying someone was coming... stepping back into the shadows, a little trick Aizawa had to keep from being noticed just a little, she kept back just to make sure that someone couldn't notice her, while keeping an eye on the building across the street. "Come out, come out, wherever you are~" she singsonged softly, licking her whip.

That familiar prickle at the back of his neck alerts him that something is nearby. He glances around, looking for that heat signature.

"Heat Signature is moving." Karen tells him, zeroing in on it. "It appears to be headed in your direction."

"What? Why? I didn't do anything! I'm staking the place out!" He whines at the AI. He crouches a little further down, watching the movement as it does appear to be closer. He carefully crawls down to the side of the building to try and hide himself a little better under a shadow.

"What colors should I make my suit? I know-I'll go with red and blue because that'll make it soo easy to blend into the scenery." Peter mutters to himself, regretting his superhero color scheme just a little.

"Spina..." Shelob says, having followed him to the makeshift hiding place.

"Brai, braixen," whispered Braixen, gesturing towards the movement in the distance.

Nemuri smiled cattily as she crept further along, her lips licking as she chased down her quarry. Oh how she loved to hunt! If her opponent wanted to play a stealth game, then so could she! She darted from hiding place to hiding place, getting closer and closer.

"Come out, come out, wherever you are," she whispered, sliding closer and closer, creeping from shadow to shadow from different angles.

"I seem to have lost track of the heat signature." Karen's voice has Peter frowning beneath the mask. That's not good. How could Karen lose it? The prickle on that back of his neck gets worse and it has him on edge.

Where is it...? Now would be a great time for his Spideysense to work correctly beyond 'Hey! Look out!'

"See anything, Shelob?" He asks his partner. She shakes her head and Peter lets out a sigh before crawling more along the walls, climbing back up to a different section of the roof. "Where is it....?"

There you are, thought Nemuri to herself as she found her target. A young man, dressed in tight armor, yeah, red and blue is his color definitely, tight muscles, ooooh she was a quiver definitely. She looked down a little. Yeah that's definitely a butt.

Sidling up to him, she smoothly slid up and grasped Peter around the waist with strong but firm arms, pressing up against him with very little concealing her body, considering she was wearing the Birthday Suit suit. "Evening Tiger," she purred. "What are you doing here; stake out?"

If he had a ear exposed, she would have bit it.

His spideysense doesn't tell him where the threat is coming from. Just that there is one which has him even more on edge. He freezes up-maybe a little more so than would be expected as he feels someone grip him around the waist. He'd probably have been okay-he's sure he can handle it, but that purring right by his ear sends a sharp shiver down his spine and derails his thoughts-bringing up memories he'd really rather not deal with. He swallows hard and tries to calm his racing heart.

"H-Hey!" He tries to squirm- He needs those hands off of him right now, immediately. He's not a weak ten year old. He's super powered teenager and getting free should be easy! Why does it feel like he can't move? He lifted a building off of himself, this should be cake walk! But it's like the nerves in his arms aren't hearing the command in his brain.

"Peter, your vitals seem to have spiked. Are you in distress?" Karen asks.

"YES!" Peter yells out in response to Karen, not that Midnight could hear it. "Let me go!"

Nemuri chuckles as she relents, letting the costumed teen go. She had her gauge of the boy in the suit, he was younger than she was, a teen hero. An apprentice perhaps? Young with his hero license? In any case, she smirked a little as she placed a hand on her hip and sighed a little. "I let you go already," she said with a little sigh. "You're a little too wriggly for me."

She pouted at the sight of him for a moment. "You should really get yourself together. A hero doesn't quake under problems like this. Not when they're staking out a crime scene." She glanced over her shoulder as she lazily dragged her whip across the asphalt roof, coiling it around her bare leg as she leaned forward across the moonlit patch. "You could always just pull out of the situation, come back tomorrow. I don't think the thieves are coming tonight."

A huge wave of relief washes over Peter once she's let him go and he takes a in several breaths, trying to force the bad thoughts out-to not think about him. He hasn't in so long he can't now.

"Yeah well, you shouldn't-" The words die out as his notices she's not wearing a whole lot of anything and it feels like his throat has swollen closed. He closes his eyes and turns the opposite direction. Someone is confident.

"According to reports they're uh... MO is to hit like... after two." He forces himself to focus on those reports. "I'll be fine. Just uh-stay on your roof and I'll stay on mine." Shelob makes a noise of agreement, not happy at all by how her trainer reacted to that. That wasn't normal was it? He usually had something to say about everything.

"Mmmm, no can do," replied Nemuri, leaning against the wall. "This is the best vantage point and I'm certain the crooks know it too. They'd be expecting to cover all other possible angles that we could potentially cover. Right here is the best chance of stakeout, and the most likely point of getting caught. We're in the worst and best possible position to getting caught."

She fished out a small pair of binoculars out of her pouch around her waist and peered at the clock far across the plaza. "Quarter to two. Which means we've got fifteen minutes to get to know one another. So sturdy, got a hero name to go with the tights? Names Midnight."

Sturdy? Well, it could be worse, he supposes before rolling his eyes and pointedly not looking at her. He's all for equality and women's right to choose and what not but this is a little extreme for him. Don't like, don't look. It's a very helpful tool that gets him through the internet and maybe it'll help here too. Maybe. It's a little different when there's no back button to click and escape that bad thing.

"Spider-Man. Nice to meet you, Ms Midnight." He supplies, finally starting to feel himself calm down again. "Karen, please don't send any of that to Mr Stark."

"I'm sorry Peter, but you said you were in distress."

"Great." He throws his hands up in the air.

"Stark your Pro Hero? That's a cool name. Stark. Real snappy." said Midnight.

Settling into a waiting period, she leaned back into the cold wall, thinking. "Dunno why they're targeting this chain. It's all natural sea stuff. Corsola shell stuff, and other natural stuff. I realize that's a huge tourist wealth but... maybe the safe? Deposit slips? Local banking info? IF they wanted the last one, they could just hack the deposit records."

"Um-well. Iron Man-but he doesn't really do the whole secret identity thing." Peter waves it off, still not looking.

"I don't know-the criminals I've stopped here are all uh... different. That's a non-offensive way to say it, right?" He asks. Shelob shrugs.

"They've probably come up with some get rich quick scheme and are too lazy to look for the materials themselves."

"Cool." replied Nemuri.

"No, no, it's about the same in Tatooin. Get quick rich schemes, knock over a building, grab the register, bug out before the heroes arrive, SOP. If you get away with it, you have a mark on your head for Heroes to track. If you get caught, that's a Hero's commendation."

Nemuri checked the time. "Five past. I figure you have some kind of fancy gizmo in your suit red. Come check out the building for me. I can't see anything with this cloud cover moving in."

"Listen lady, I'm just here to web up the bad guys not psycho-evaluate their half-assed plans." Peter states, maybe a little more clipped than he would normally be. He's the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, after all.

"Hey Karen, let's try this again, what ya got?" He asks as she checks the building.

Three in the back, two in the front, one up top. Nemuri could barely make out the one int the front jimmying the lock.

She peers down the road. "Escape vehicle," she said. "Can't take out the wheels from here. I'll have to get closer for that."

"Yeah, okay. You do that." Peter agrees before creeping closer to the edge of the roof. How to do this? Take out the ones up front first or sneak around back and take on three guys and scare the shit out of the fourth, fifth and sixth? And how should he announce his presence? He fires a web swings off, aiming to ambush the three in the back.

"So." He drops down in front of them. "This lady and I were talking and we were wondering like what's the deal? You know you can like find these things out in the ocean, right?" He leaps gleefully out of harms way and fires some webs, Shelob right behind him.

"Oh I get it, you must be afraid of the Ocean or something-tough break."

The man in the escape car had a moment to blink as a lavender scent came through his AC before he fell asleep. "Too easy," said Nemuri, letting out the air in the tires.

"Braixen?" asked Braixen.

"Yeah, he's going to need aid. Let's--" Suddenly a shock ripped through her body as she fell prone as a Electabuzz stood over her. Braizen whipped around but she was knocked to the ground as a second point blank Thunder Wave paralyzed her as well.

"Ghh, let my guard down," grunted Nemuri, her vision flashing from the Thunder Wave that had paralyzed her.

"Leave her," said a voice she couldn't pinpoint as her vision and hearing swam. "Bigger fish to fry."

The web hits its mark and one of the men is pinned to a nearby tree with a startled yelp.

"I really hate to drop in on you like this, but you really gotta stop. I mean it's a school night and I'm supposed to be asleep-not that I would be-I kinda don't but hey-!" He lets out yelp of his own as he feels him self leave the ground-held in place by a psychic attack. He'd turn his head to see which pokemon they were using but he can't move at all. That's like twice in one night.

"Really? You're gonna bring psychic into this? That's totally cheating!"
