Test Drive Meme - November/December
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!

Tyzias Entykk | Hiveswap | Melodies of Eternity/Diatu CRAU | Doom
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.

It took Nozomi a few moments to realize she recognize the person.
"...Tyzias?"
no subject
"KALA, I'M TAKING FIVE!" she shouts.
Her partner in the trenches pales. "B-but-"
"IT'S MANDATED BY THE UNION TO HAVE TWO FIVE MINUTE BREAKS PER WORKDAY. GOOD LUCK. DON'T DIE." Tyzias steps over the counter, looking Nozomi up and down. "...Nozomi. I..."
no subject
She grinned sheepishly at that. Stressed is an understatement.
no subject
She's been separated from the Asmodeus for months now, bouncing from world to world (and occasionally leaving splinters behind) using her Calamity powers to try and find her way back. And while Nozomi isn't a regular crewmember... well, Nozomi said it herself.
