Test Drive Meme - November/December

[bestmomever]

The last week of October into November has come and Halloween has come! With the Haunted House come up, strangely clean, too clean, INTERPOL has decided to leave it open for now while it is under surveilance. However, there has been more movement on the Ultra Guardians side as more information has continued to flow. It seems that there has been a push to discover Plates, that have been discovered in different Regions.

Now with November starting into December, the weather of Alola's daytime, average high temperatures typically range in the mid to low 80s. Evening temperatures usually dip into the upper 60s to lower 70s. Per weather records, November rainfall levels in Alola are higher than average. The ocean temperatures around Hawaii are pleasant enough for swimming which is still very pleasant. However, there's also winter-time adventures as Mount Lanakila also is opening it's Ski and Hot Springs Resort. That greedy Viren has opened up one on the mountain, and while he doesn't like you, he's inviting you all for a trip on the first of November. Which is good, because it eliminates the need for housing for your School Field Trip from the first to the seventh.

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. Pokemon School Trip

The School Trip to Mount Lanakila might come as a surprise, but there is a big, snowy mountain on Alola! Bundle up for winter time activities and hot spring shenanigans because there's plenty of both! Relax in the hot springs as snow falls gently around your body, play in the snow in the day, view amazing Snow Pokemon, explore the incredible Ice Caverns, and perhaps participate in the PokeJump Competitions which is a long-jump sledding competition with your Pokemon.


H. Melemele General Hospital

Even Angela is working extra hard to make sure everyone's prepared for the winter, and that makes time for checkups, and other such things. If you've got the sniffles, this one is for you. But also, come chat with Angela, and meet some of the more colorful visitors from Overwatch Earth.


I. Aether Labs

Come review the brand new information that makes the Ultra Guardians 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. Unovan Togetherness Day

Every November, the people of Unova celebrate a day where they come together together after a long harvest year, and feast with family and friends. Fallers might recognize this as Thanksgiving, but the connotation of thanking the Pokemon is strong in this world, as they came first in this world, and the people of Alola celebrate their families and their friends and their precious partners.


K. Ryme City Anniversary

In the middle of the month of November, there is the Ryme City Anniversary. A week leading up to a parade with floats and celebrations. The Fallers are invited to Ryme City and will be preparing for their first international trip. Pack your bags, we're going on an Educational Field Trip!

Mirio Togata | My Hero Academia (Warning Spoilers for the end of Season 4/Manga)

[one_million]

B. Community Center

Mirio Togata was not a man to be deterred by the state of affairs.

Even after everything that happened, everything that had gone down, he was still keeping his head high. And when the portal opened, and someone needed help, he had rushed to their aid.

And then, he found himself in another world.

He laughed a little, shaking his head as he had fallen without any way to save himself from the skies when the bear had caught him, brought him to safety.

'Just like a hero' thought Mirio to himself as they landed. "Thank you," he said to Bewear as he was then checked in and shown to the Community Center where he was reading up on the islands from the huge tourist info boards.

"So... Pokemon huh," said Mirio thoughtfully. "Sounds amazing! If I'm going to get stronger, then I need to cooperate with everyone here. Because... if I'm going to still work towards my dream of saving people, then I need to keep my focus."

His fist clenched and he thrust it into the air. "Yeah! Just wait Izuku, I'm gonna be back before you know it!"


F. Grand Trials

Mirio had indeed been true to his word, and looked into the Grand Trials. For this, he was training extra hard with his Pokemon, a Riolu who was having trouble with its Aura. "Breathe in and out," said Mirio, holding his pose as he and the Riolu held their Tai Chi pose. "One of the prime tenants of controlling your Quirk back home is focus. Focus, hard work, diligence and practice Riolu."

"Ri," replied Riolu.

"We'll beat the Grand Trial, just you wait!" Exclaimed Mirio. "You, me..." and he looked over at the sleeping owl next to him. "And maybe Rowlet too if he wakes up."

Rowlet hooted in his sleep. "I wonder what he's dreaming about. I know Champion Ash lent him to train with us but..."

Rowlet rolled several feet into a divot and lay there upside down. It was still sleeping. "Doesn't seem like a champion winning Pokemon huh?"

"Ri," said Riolu with a laugh.

"But neither do we! C'mon Riolu, let's keep training!"


J. Unovan Togetherness Day

Mirio was really actually into this. He had attended a Thanksgiving with his friends back in the past, the American Holiday bringing its feast like qualities, but this time, the tone of the Togetherness Day was more... reverent. Respectful. Stories of how people and Pokemon were shared, amazing tales of how people worked together were shared. And a meal prepared for Pokemon and Humans alike was served.

It was truly something.

"This is amazing," said Mirio. "I've never really experienced this before. I wish my friends from home were here..."

A

[nothing_can_stop_me]

"'Sup, Bewear? Lookin' good!"

And walking past Mirio was... a duck. Much shorter than him in aviator gear and a metal leg. She, then, stopped and looked up at him, blinking.

"Sheesh, Storkules, no need to blend in, big guy!"

...that's not Storkules.

F

[oceanicbrave]

"King! Please keep up. We're going to lose time to train if you keep getting distracted!"

Yayoi called out to the very lively Tyrunt, who seemed more interested in the surrounding area than listening to his trainer.

[afterburner]

"Who's Izuku?" Renee had to ask, glancing over at the burly blonde. She'd been reading the boards as well, having changed out of her costume quickly enough. No need to frighten the locals, after all. She was glad of it too, it was warm here.

Honestly, it was a nice change to a Midwestern girl.

"I at least heard of Pokemon before I came here, but honestly, I never thought they were, um. An actual thing," Renee said, chuckling quietly. "Kinda glad no one I know is here, they'd never believe me."

old prompts, because I accidentally replied to the previous TDM...

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?

G

[fallers_npcs]

Serena was there at the Library, checking something that day when she heard the familiar Kalos accent. Turning at the voice, she cleared her throat. "Excuse me?" she asked, and cleared her throat as she swapped to her native Kalosian which would be French in his language. "Did you need help sir?" she asked in said language.

H

[fallers_npcs]

Angela had word that a new patient from another world had come to see her, something urgent considering his condition. Arriving, she nodded. "Yes, I'm Angela Zieger, I'm on loan from Overwatch."

She took one look at the man and his state and clucked her tongue. "Oh my," she said with a sigh. "This will not do at all. You are in serious need of treatment Mr...?" She checked her chart. "Mr. Andre Grandier?" She quirked a eyebrow at the name. Andre Grandier? As in the man of the Rose of...? Well, would wonders never cease.

She took a page and held out the clipboard for him to look over with his good eye. "I'm afraid that to continue, I will have to ask you to sign a patient authorization form, because what I do here while medical, is a technology far beyond normal levels. But suffice to say it, after checking your chart, I can save your eye."

Dawn | Pokémon D/P

[sinnohcoordinated]

Arrival

“Alola, Alola!”

Wait a minute, this isn’t a Faller! What is this madness? Oh, it’s just Dawn, a Coordinator from Twinleaf, here on a well-needed vacation. And maybe other things, but neither this or that. “Wow, this place looks wonderful! No wonder people like it here!”

Grabbing her suitcase, Dawn makes her way down from her plane, looking around.

Grand Trials

“Wow, so this is what they do instead of Gym Battles or Competitions, huh?” Dawn couldn’t help but blink as she learned about the Trials and what they had to offer. “You know, this might be something I could try out. Integrate it into our routines. What do you think, Piplup?” She looked down at the penguin Pokémon in her arms.

“Pip!” It chirped, raising a wing in solidarity.

“Glad we’re in agreement!” She said, smiling. “Now, uh... what do we do next?”

Aether Labs

“Wow, look at this place!” Dawn said in awe. She certainly didn’t have much of a reason to be here, but it was something for her to look at while she was here. “Sheesh, a lot of this is so over my head.”

“Piiii...” her Piplup replied, his own eyes glazed over.

“I guess that’s why I’m not an inventor or anything!”

Ryme City Anniversary

“Sheesh, I just got here and I’m already leaving!” Dawn giggles as she got her stuff together once more. “At least it’s just a field trip and nothing else!” As she got done, she began to ponder. “Wonder how the others are doing... better check on ‘em!”

Grand Trials

[acmellash]

Ash had been told that someone he might know was up at Hala's place, and he had rushed up to see who it was. When he saw the familiar blue hair, his heart lit up. "Dawn!" he called out happily, running up to her, waving.

"Dawn! It's me!"

Arrival

[one_million]

Mirio was definitely working the arrivals when he saw Dawn there. He smiled, walking over with the arrival lei in hand. "Alola!" He greeted, offering the lei to place around her neck as well as Piplups. "Welcome to, well, Alola! I'm Mirio, one of the Fallers."

Arrival; awww, a Dawn!!!

[serperiority]

That voice was a little familiar, but Trip thought he might have imagined it, he was waiting very nervously for Ash after the flight... he had something he needed to keep safe in that backpack he was hugging to his chest, uncharacteristically, but as he turned to continue pacing around the gate he arrived at, he saw someone he really did recognize.

Ash’s friend, from the Junior Cup! He forgot her name all of a sudden, so all he managed was a slightly awkward, too-high, “Alola!”

Shouting it was embarrassing, why didn’t he just walk over first! He made his way over, not too quickly, still holding a strangely lumpy and occasionally shifting bag.

Aether Labs - Because I'm a goddamn nerd and I feel like using my normal Serena Journal for this

[never_give_up]

Serena was there, taking care of Pokemon when she noticed the new girl at the labs. She had brought the new readings into the lab for the tech heads to look at when she noticed her there.

"Wow," she whispered to herself, gazing at the dark haired girl in the cute outfit. It was definitely an Alolan outfit, but she looked like she was from another region. Hoenn? Sinnoh maybe? her skin was so light and yet she was dark haired and she reminded her of Ash and...

"Brai?" asked Braixen.

"N-no, I'm not staring one bit," hissed Serena, snapping out of her gaze. "I'm just nervous that's all."

"Brai brai!"

"Go talk to her? She could be just here to tour! I don't want to--hey!"

Braixen started pushing her towards Dawn as she stumbled forward. "Um, Alola!" exclaimed Serena, blushing. "Hi, are you new here? Did you come to work or just touring? I'm Serena."

Inosuke Hashibira | Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba | (Pre-Episode 11)

[boarzerker]

A - AAAAAAA

For somebody with zero concepts for whatever a ‘wormhole’ is, let alone abstracts related to time and space, everything that’s happening within the space of a few seconds is understandably disorienting and confusing. Air rushed across his skin at first like a whirling breeze then blasted against him at the same moment he felt the warm and plush fur of some creature (a demon?!?!?) handling him with obscene strength.

“WHERE AM I?! WHAT IS THIS?!!?”

Yeah no, this was not going to be a time for Inosuke to be calm. What an absolutely ridiculous notion. And he has twin jagged swords to emphasize that with. Crude saws pointed at the placid… bear thing. It’s very threatening, he can feel it.

“You! Take me back right now!!” the teenager shouts a little less loudly, but no less furiously before outright charging with a battle cry at the Bewear that rescued him.


B - Beasts Big and Small

… Even when things are a little bit sorted out, Inosuke still isn’t prepared at all the modern architecture. But the style of things doesn’t compare to the sometimes gaudy metallic creatures with people inside them. It’s like these people don’t know they’re in the stomach of a freak of nature?!

Those black things that probably serve as feet seem soft and vulnerable.


E - Eating… Together???

No man-eating demons. No cases of man-eating for these…Pokemon things. Which means no use for swords to kill things with.

“Hmph!!!”

Everything around here is strange and he. Doesn’t. Like it! Venturing into the woods seems like a fine excuse to get away from the almost nice suffocating atmosphere of, what was the word, kindness?

Also, he’s hungry, suspicious of the odd meat, and would rather not suffer more confusion than he already has. So Inosuke forages for berries, and suddenly he’s being attacked by a crab after spotting a good pile to add to his own.

Guess who’s thrilled. “AHA! Finally a good fight!” Genuinely thrilled.

Anyone lucky enough to watch chaotic stupidity in action can witness the boar-masked teenager rushing at his new opponent like a charging animal, which probably is not the usual reaction this particular Crabrawler was expecting. But it’s strong enough to catch Inosuke’s punch and start pushing them back- then suddenly get nailed by a kick that shouldn’t be anatomy possible.

“HEHEH, as you can see, my flexibility knows no limits!! And this is why you will lose!!!” he proudly declares despite the crab creature recovering enough to attempt grabbing at him for what might’ve been a german suplex reversal...

However, Inosuke flows with the movement into a whirling spin that lets him grapple onto one of its claws and pitch it straight into one of the berry trees. Which leaves the crab down for the count and Inosuke free to claim its berry pile!

As he revels in his triumph over one of the native creatures around here (hopefully the first of many), something else actually dares to slowly crawl up to him. Small, with fuzzy brown fur and honestly familiar-looking stripes.

Inosuke stares at it, his expression still entirely hidden by his mask, adding more resemblance to him of an animal with coiled up tension. He crouches to get a better look at it, which allows the thing to sniff at the boar mask.

"Swinub."

"This food is mine!! I've claimed it!" But contrary to his aggressive tone, he scoops up the football-sized 'piglet' and brings it along to said berry pile. Then he plops it down just before scattering some of the bounty in front of its nose.

He seats himself in front of his own share. "So as your new boss, that is your part!"

… D'aww.

A

[withoutcontrolofmyself]

A new wormhole usually meant a new Faller and Wes was driving in order to meet up with them and wrangle them back to the Pokemon Centre. His bike makes a tremendous roar as it goes up to the newcomer and the Bewear.

Wes is fully aware Bewear can take care of itself. Hell, it could beat him up without breaking a sweat, but his protective instincts around Pokemon kick in when he sees the threatening swords. Wes immediately drives in between Bewear and Inosuke and holds his metal arm up, catching the blades.

"... You're annoying." Wow Wes.

Dio Brando | JJBA: Stardust Crusaders (beware of PLAYER AUS)

[cepicorpus]

A

[Truth be told this was really the first time Dio could recall falling unexpectedly out of the sky and into a warm ocean. He's fallen off of a lot of things before, and out of things and into things, but usually he has some idea of what the hell just happened. This time, he had no idea.

And then there'd been a pink and black bear of some kind, which had deposited him on an unfamiliar beach and then run off back across the water to ... apparently catch more people.

And so he stands on the beach, some hours after dark, arms crossed over his chest and a frown on his face. Even the stars were different. Perhaps he'd wildly underestimated Heirophant Green, but surely that weak Stand couldn't actually teleport a target far away.

Surely.

There's nothing at all approachable about Dio's current bearing and visible mood, he looks less than pleased and malevolence rolls off him in waves ... but truth be told he's waiting for the other shoe to drop. It always does. That's what fate did after all, it ripped the rug out from under him and made him deal with some new utterly contrived scenario where he's expected to be the paragon of all that's evil, but NOT THIS TIME, FATE.. He's just going to STAY HERE and WAIT IT OUT, frown slowly deepening into a scowl as time passes.]

B

[....Nothing happened that Dio would classify as the usual bullshittery.

At all.

Thus, somewhere around midnight, a far more bemused Dio has turned up at the visitor's plaza to find out as much as he can about where he is now and more importantly, what sort of trouble he's likely to be dealing with in the future. Just because nothing's gone pear shaped right now doesn't mean it WOULDN'T, and apparently the mayhem this place is going to provide is in the form of these 'pokemon'!

He has the basics down. People too weak to have Stands get Pokemon, and then go through regulated cockfights to find out which one has the bigger, badder creature. He could respect that, if a little distastefully.

Outside of the circle of well-lit stands and waiting locals and visitors, Dio leafs through a pamphlet he'd been handed, frown back in place. This time at least, it's thoughtful. If he's going to blend in at all (and let's face it given how he dresses, blending in isn't always an option), he's going to have to find his own pit monster. Nobody could see The World, after all, even if his Stand had several other pamphlets in its arms.

For all appearances to mundane senses, Dio just has a half dozen of the things floating sedately beside him, being ruffled now and again as if by unfelt breezes.]

Not one of the dog things. Or bats.

[When he speaks, his voice a disturbingly velvety purr, it's apparently to thin air. And not the invisible Stand right there.]

Look for a mighty lion, or a magnificent dragon. They are certain to exist if fire chimpanzees exist.

A

[finny_fun]

Two Hours Later...

It seems that someone was watching Dio, while she was doing things from the water's edge. Ariel hadn't come out of the water to her wheelchair and at the moment, was still enjoying the water. And yet, the funny man who Bewear had rescued was just... standing there. Scowling at the ocean.

"Did the ocean annoy you sir?" she asked curiously. "You know, if you have a grievance with the ocean or the beach, you should lodge a complaint."

Renee Corbin/Afterburner | X-Men OC

[afterburner]

A: Arrival

Afterburner...she doesn't fall out of the Ultra Hole. Rather, she rockets out of it, the propulsion flight she uses leaving a rather obvious trail. She does a bit of an awkward dance with Bewear, which might be somewhat amusing to the viewer.

"Um! Uh! Thanks, ma'am, but I think I've got it...if you can point me in the right direction? If you don't mind?" I think you're a ma'am please don't be offended... Renee thinks. What a way to start things out...


D: Odd Jobs

Someone needed crates yanked off a truck, and Renee needs money. So while at first, the big brawny guy in charge scoffed and laughed, she got her back into it (as well as a little natural mutant strength) and is rapidly unloading crates off the truck, now, to the boss' astonishment. For some reason, she can feel eyes on her, though the reason why doesn't come to light until she takes a break, wiping off her forehead and having a drink of juice. That's when a small, elephantine Pokemon approaches slowly, trunk waving, and inquires, "Piiii?"

"Well, aren't you a cutie?" she asks it, reaching out a hand. It sidles over gingerly and leans into her, as she gives it a good scratch.


K: Ryme City Anniversary

As much as she was excited, Renee was also apprehensive. Hadn't she heard enough from some of the other trainees, or the older X-Men? They went out on an "educational excursion" and something happened. Like hidden aliens attacked, or Sentinels showed up. Something. So while she really wanted to relax and enjoy herself, she found herself so on edge that she'd even slipped on her inhibitor bracelet. It didn't really lessen her enhanced strength much, but she was less likely to pop up a shield absentmindedly with it on...

D

[thezekeinator]

"Ah-HA!"

Thud-thud! Two heavy figures landed on top of the truck, making it rock beneath them as they rose to a standing position. Hoods and cloaks obscured their identities, though not so much that the smirk on the taller one's face was hidden.

"Trying to become a trainer, are you?"

Zeke von Genbu, BRINGER OF CHAOS | Xenoblade Chronicles 2

[thezekeinator]

Exploring Melemele 1

The first sign of trouble was the obvious sounds of struggle a little further deeper into the forest. A moment later, two figures tumbled out of the undergrowth, quickly revealed to be a tall man with an eyepatch who had a Lucario in a headlock.

"Ha! Surrender and become the flagship of my team! You're caught fair and square!"

The Lucario tried to kick him; Zeke kicked right back. This was all extremely mature and exactly how these things should be done.

Exploring Melemele 2

"Aaaargh!"

Just like that, Zeke von Genbu and Eris the Lucario tumbled over the waterfall and down into the lagoon below.

At that very moment, a Magikarp floated to the surface, twitching its flippers feebly as its one vacant eye stared mindless upwards. If that seemed like it would help cushion their landing, no: Magikarp are mostly bones and scales. When the pair smashed into it, they just earned more scrapes and bruises for their troubles.

The water didn't even have a chance to settle before the two burst out of it, running at top speed away from the lagoon. Behind them a Gyrados, the last light of evolution fading from it as it lunged after them.

"Why meeeeeeeeeee?!"

Exploring Melamele 2

[darkenedmoon]

The man and his Lucario ran; an elegant woman stepped out from a stand of bushes, chin lifted. Beside her, a Lunatone floated serenely. She barely spared a glance for the fled pair before she looked at the Gyarados.

"Mizuki," she said. "Use Confusion." The Pokemon spun in place, before using its attack on the charging Water Pokemon. It paused, fanged jaw gaping open, before shaking its head--clearly the attack had succeeded. Instead of pursuing its rightful prey, it slithered back towards the lagoon, leaving in peace.

"I thank you," Yotsuyu said, bowing politely to the Lunatone. They were fairly new-acquainted, and while Gosetsu and Ajisai knew they meant a great deal to her, Yotsuyu refused to slight her new companion, even as the Dewott and Cubone came running to crowd around her knees.

Deadpool | Marvel Comics

[unalive_them]

A) Arrival

And out in the beach, there's a crowd gathered around the latest Faller. Especially since he's buried his head in the sand and struggling to get out. Behind him is a Croagunk just staring him down. Once the red and black-garbed man gets his head out, he can't help but look around at the crowd in confusion before it all dawns on him.

"Oh, I know what this. This is one of those "Ee-sigh-key" things and I'm the star, aren't I?" the man said. "Well, what are we waiting for? Where my bi--AAAUGH!"

And the Croagunk nails him with Poison Jab, dropping him into a heap.

"Wh... what the f--AUGH!" And again. "You... you stop th--OWWWIE!" And again. "Mommy!"

B) Visitation Center

And Deadpool's luck has not gotten better. Despite having a healing factor, just about everything he's done has had his Croagunk jab him repeatedly. And thanks to all of those weapons, he's being trailed by a gang of Growlithes ready to make his life even more difficult.

"Oh, come ON! I don't need this right now! I just got here!" Deadpool complained. "I just one good thing happen to me and--"

And he stops as he looks down at a stray Psyduck, who looks at him confusingly, uttering "Psy?"

There's a bit of a staredown before Deadpool picks him up and holds him protectively. "I've just known him for five seconds, but if anything happened to him, I'll murder everything on this island and then myself."

I) Aether Labs

"Look, just so you guys know? I don't think you want to do anything with my healing factor!"

And Deadpool's being monitored by the various scientists and doctors. Most Fallers tend to be baseline with very few superheroes with natural powers. He's one of the rare ones.

"And can I have my clothes back? The metal table's cold!"

Wildcard

It's a Team Rainbow Rocket battle! Deadpool's up against two Grunts! They toss out their Pokemon to prepare for battle. Deadpool?

Blows out a Grunt's kneecap with a pistol.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU, MAN?!" the other Grunt said, eyes wide. "Where is your pride as a trainer?!"

"Oh, you mean I wasn't supposed to stop you in your tracks the easy way?!" Deadpool said. "I mean, you guys used guns in the early days!"

This ought to be funny - B

[defender_in_a_dress]

It wasn't to say that Peach didn't have pity for the man in the red suit. She had an affinity for men in red suits, but the heavily armed man, well, was bringing it upon himself.

Still, she sighed and shook her head as she stood and straightened her skirts before walking over to him and said, "Sir? Here, for you and your new Psyduck."

It was a bag of malasada. It wasn't home-cooked, she hadn't quite learned how to make it, but it was better than letting him be down and out, right? Giving him a winning smile, Peach added, "I hope your day goes better!"

Shia Kijima | Gundam Build Fighters Try

[00_shia]

Community Center

"Ah, another island resort." Shia had followed the strange creature that invaded the mock battle she was participating in with her 00 Shia Qan[T] Gunpla, appearing in this strange place. At least it didn't seem that there were strange experiments and ghost girls (that was a ghost girl messing with everything, right?).

"Why so many brochures, though?"

Grand Trials

"A contest for... Z?" Shia tilted her head at the suggestion of it all. Grand Trials, Z-Crystals, Z-Rings... was she in a Super Robot anime now? Or a magical girl one? But, the Porygon-Z she'd been paired up with was quite interested in it all, though.

"You want to participate in it?" she asked, the duck-like Pokemon nodding. "Heh, well, I guess it's one way to improve."

Aether Labs

So, it seemed someone in the Labs had been able to figure out how Plavsky Particles work and set it in a way that Shia could use her Gunpla again and have it fight in the air. She can't help but be impressed as the cat-eared Gunpla danced through the air with ease, though Shia frowned at that.

"I need to fine tune it. I think the air here is messing it up a bit."

"I mean, it looks really interesting. The dances are kind of shounen though. Super shounen. Are we in a spinoff for G Gundam you think?" asked Fumina, amused as she walked up, having noticed Shia standing there looking confused as all get-out.

Instead of a Porygon, Fumina had a Rotom who spent half its time inhabiting her Gunpla and the other half in her Dex. Some weirdo Rotom it was. "Hey Shia, I see you made it through the weird Ultra Hole too. I'm half expecting the others to show up eventually."

Arrival

"Ahhh, get back here!" And in the skies over the beach, people can see an Ultra Hole pop up as a girl in a pink and white outfit fought a strange bug like creature in the air. It seemed very even until the creature aimed low, cutting the bag on her side as it raced towards the Ultra Hole. The bag spat out a strange perfume bottle, dropping it into the sand, causing the girl's outfit to shift into a shiny dress, the shock causing the cape around her neck to change into a small bunny-like creature... and causing the poor girl to drop into the sand, buried up to her head and the dress covering her.

"C...Can someone... help me... a-and try not to look..." she muttered, mortified.

Being beaten by a strange monster? Not a problem. Trapped in another universe? Also not a problem.

Trapped in another universe after being beaten by a strange monster and having your secret identity exposed around everyone? It's a problem. So, instead of trying to get situated, Tsubomi's busy dying of embarrassment in a corner somewhere.

Can someone help her out please?

Aether Labs

You wanna see someone out of her comfort zone? It's Tsubomi and the labs. On the other hand, though, the place is perfect for her, seeking to join NASA so she can go into space and conquer her fear of heights and all.

So, there's someone look all wide-eyed at everything going on, especially a few members of Aether running tests on her.

"I-is there any more to this? I'd really like to see more." Tsubomi asked.

It wasn't to say that Superman, aka Clark Kent was worried about his own identity being exposed in another world. It was, quite frankly another world.

Having pushed a literal monster that entered their world from a hole that looked like a Boom Tube from the first appearances, the massive Guzzlord proved to be a challenge for the Justice League until Batman discovered its weakness -- the head. A combined assault drove it back and Superman pushed it through the hole -- seconds before it grabbed him and pulled him through.

The funniest thing happened after that. A group of literal children captured it in a ball and sent it packing through the same hole they had exited from.

This world's sun seemed just as strong as his own, but it felt different. More robust in a way, and yet, Superman was a little awkward as he wandered around the room before noticing the young girl. Didn't she fall from a hole during the battle as well?

Walking over, he gently stooped down, still aware he was in costume still. "Hi there," he said, smiling. "I was wondering if you needed assistance miss. I noticed you appeared around the same time I did and I wanted to help."

A - Less-Than-Airborne Arrival

[Plenty of new Fallers were falling in, but one new arrival had a more interesting appearance - one Ultra Hole appeared, and it seemed like a stream of data was flowing out of it... until suddenly, a high school-age girl appeared on the ground, looking around with a confused expression on her face.]

My, what's this? What a strange place...

[Did she finally make it out of that hellhole? She totally did. She's free! ... Well, in a manner of speaking.

Better somewhere new than stuck in the same damn place for what feels like another eternity. Well, she might as well catch someone's attention--]

Excuse me, would you happen to know where this is?


B - Alola, Tropical Paradise!

[This could be another computer simulation for all she cared, and Monika feels like she'd still not care. It's like a proper vacation here! All these cute little Pokemon things, beaches for miles around... she even got a free ride on the Bewear's shoulder!

Reading the pamphlet, she realizes that she's going to need to get to know the locals, maybe befriend some of these Pokemon... after all, she could do with making some new friends, be they human or not. What could go wrong?]

Hello, there! [The first person who she locks eyes with would receive this greeting.] I'm Monika, a newcomer here. It's nice to meet you.


H - Can You Really Care For A Program?

No, really, I'm fine! [She gives off a nervous smile to whomever she happens to be talking to in the hospital, be it Angela or someone else.] I'm not getting sick at all. I don't even think I can get sick, ahaha!

[She pauses for a moment, considering her words.]

I mean, it's hard to explain, but I'm not so similar to most of the other people here.

"Eh, neither am I, but it doesn't hurt to check you over. At least once?" Nozomi said, shrugging. "I mean, I sometimes worry if being through so many worlds has changed me more and more!"

Sayori | DDLC

[bestfriendroute]

A - Airborne Disaster

AAAAAAAAAA-- [CRASH! ... Is what she expects to happen, but even though everything goes black, she opens her eyes to realize she's been caught - by a giant bear.] Waaah! A bear!!

[And then she's set down by Bewear, and given a small pat on the head.] ... Oh, you're not bad at all, huh? [Pat pat pat.] Ehehe, hey, stop! I'm okay, I promise! Thank you for catching me. But, um... where am I?

[Though the bear seems to speak, Sayori can't make heads or tails of it.] Can anyone else tell me, then...?


C - No Coin? No Problem. Wait, what?

[The smell of food inevitably brings Sayori right over to the Markets - and up to the food stalls themselves. She didn't even realize how hungry she was! But, she had no money... how was she supposed to afford this?

And then, she's offered food, and she politely declines, saying she can't pay. When she's told it's okay, she tearfully accepts the food, trying to keep a smile on her face.

Not two seconds later, however, she manages to somehow trip over something and crashes headlong into another person, dropping her food.]

Owww! Oh no, I'm so sorry, I'm such a klutz! [Well, so much for that.]


E - How Do I Get Back Down!?

[Sayori wasn't going to turn down the chance to explore on her own. Sure, it's a big world, and she can wind up lost, but really, what's the worst that could happen?

Well, apparently the worst that could happen is Sayori getting stuck up a large tree, with no way down, and her Pokeballs still tied around her waist. Sure, she could try and call out her Pokemon - but that'd involve letting go of the tree, and falling to her death.]

H-Heeelp! I can't get down! [Oh, this isn't going to end well, is it?]

[blue_ice]

[ Kaiba is going about his business as usual, his Pokémon trailing behind him as he goes for a run. He's looking up in the hopes of capturing a Flying Pokémon for team balance, but what he sees instead is a lost girl. Huh.

He knows what to do, luckily, so he starts ruffling through his deck. He calls up to her as he does this. ]

Stop panicking. I'll get you in a minute.

[ ...but he just seems to be playing with his trading cards. ]

B) Community Visitors Plaze

"Huh, so this is th' Visitor's Plaza I've heard so much about..." Shira uttered, wandering around. "So many people like t' start their adventures here and I can see why!" She looked up at her traveling partner, a Scorbunny.

"Scorbunny, luv, be a dear and see what else is here. Maybe a good snack or three?"

"Scor!" the rabbit said, hopping off and running on to see what it could find. "Such a energetic one..."

E) Exploring Melemele

"Oh, my Arceus! It's a Pidgey! You never see a Pidgey in Galar!"

Shira was busy admiring the simple Kanto-based bird in the wild when other kids approached her.

"Oh, look at this! It's a Galar girl." One said. "What's the matter? Couldn't take the Gym Crawl? Couldn't cut it with your inferior Pokemon?"

"F'r the record, my Pokemon are just fine!" Shira said, turning to face them.

"You're fawning over a Pidgey! Something simple from Kanto!" A second kid said. "If you're doing that, then your Galar Pokemon just suck!"

"Shut up!" she snapped back, tears forming in her eyes.

"Oh, look at her! She's crying!" a third one said. "Galar's so inferior that even Pidgeys don't wanna show up! I betcha anyone from Kanto could beat her with their weakest Pokemon!"

"LEAVE ME ALONE!" Shira screamed, her Scorbunny jumping out in front of her.

"Lonely Galar, Lonely Galar!" the kids taunted.

H) Melemele General Hospital

"I promise you, I'm fine!" Shira said, tapping her foot as she was checked over. Brawling with another set of jerks teasing her over Galar lead her to being dragged to the doctor's to make sure she's fine.

"Sheesh, just a couple of scrapes. I didn't break any bones." She shook her head. "Those creeps, on the other hand..."

"Hey kids!" Exclaimed a nasally, if authoritative voice as a smirking teen with a huge Pidgeot standing over them, arms folded. "You wouldn't be BULLYING this girl, right? That means you gotta do..."

DUN DUN DUN.

"MORE HOMEWORK!"

"EEK! It's PROFESSOR OAK!" Exclaimed one of the kids, terrified.

"Run away, he's going to make us do more Math homework!" shrieked another as Gary Motherfucking Oak laughed maniacally.

D: Retail Hell
There's something uniquely torturous about working in retail. Especially when you have (effectively) two law degrees, law enforcement experience, a five-hundred page in-progress thesis about the nature of the wider omniverse, the scars from saving the world(s) too many times to count... the list goes on and on.

But too many people were wigged out by Tyzias's appearance—a few tried to catch Tyzias like she was a 'mon on sight!—for her to secure a job anywhere. And since Tyzias is still in the process of training her team for competitive play, grinding out cash through battle isn't an option either.

Unovan Togetherness Day is coming up, though. And that means that Dark-Type Friday is on the horizon. So even if the prospective employee looks like a literal demon and has an attitude to match, PokeMart manages have no qualms about putting her in a uniform and sending her to the slaughtering grounds.

Tyzias is a flurry of movement, expertly moving customers through her line in a matter of seconds. But it's not fast enough, and sweat beads on her brow as single mothers and angry college kids yell at her to somehow go even faster. When she reaches her latest customer, she looks completely manic. "Hello how can I KAREN FOR THE LOVE OF FUCK I DON'T CARE IF YOUR KID IS SHITTING THEIR PANTS IN LINE IF YOU WANTED FAST SERVICE YOU SHOULD'VE COME EARLIER help you"

E: ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
One would be forgiven for mistaking this clash of titans as a battle for dominance between two Pokemon. Everything within a hundred-foot radius of the Machamp and the mystery challenger is completely wrecked: trees fallen on the ground, boulders smashed into gravel, and the constant low roar of the impact keeps every other Pokemon away from the conflict.

The Machamp's fists are a blur. Yet its challenger is faster. Always a step ahead, always a millimeter away from grievous injury. It's hard to make out the Machamp's opponent through the dust whipped up in the arena and the sheer speed of the other Pokemmmmon(?), but the few glimpses that can be seen seemingly confirm that it's indeed a pokemon: grey skin, orange horns, teal highlights...

It's all over in an instant. After bellowing a draconic roar of frustration, red lines begin spreading across the challenger's body, almost looking like veins. Then a knee to the Machamp's jaw. A roundhouse kick to the head. And a single punch to its torso that sends it flying across the arena, fainting.

The dust clears, and the challenger is revealed to be not a Pokemon, but a Faller. She stands beaten and bloody, several open wounds across her body, but victorious nonetheless. Speaking of blood, gallons and gallons the teal stuff is splattered everywhere, and her veins are glowing bright red. Her lack of shirt exposes her rippling muscles; they're clearly made for performance, not for show. Compact, dense, with a layer of fat around them for protection.

Wiping some blood from her mouth, Tyzias glares at the intruder.

"What."

H: Not Quite Dead
Turns out that battling a Pokemon rumored to move mountains with a single fist in hand-to-hand combat with no backup powers is a bad idea. The troll's heart flatlines, and the two nurses somberly leave the room, making arrangements.

Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Of course, such a completely inane decision wouldn't result in a Heroic or Just death. So there's a flash of light and Tyzias, fully healed, begins shuffling out of bed.

When the nurses find her, they scream and faint in perfect synch.

"Woah, woah, woah, easy!" Nozomi yelped, flailing her hands in a panic. "It's okay, really! If you're busy I... can..."

It took Nozomi a few moments to realize she recognize the person.

"...Tyzias?"

It's good work, considering that the farms here are mostly ranches but there's a lot of good tropical farms.

[This from a young girl about eighteen with striking features. Fire red hair, blonde highlights, blonde-ish skin... she was a riot of color.]

I've been helping out on the dairy farms in between learning programming.
