Who: Everyone

What: Use this time to check on your CR, help people out, or do whatever. Everyone can make their own top-levels and you don't have to use the provided prompts. Wildcard it if you want. Have fun!

The nightmare is finally over and the aftermath sinks in. Wherever you are, news will eventually spread that the pokemon stopped their rampaging status, looking confused and some horrified by what had happened around them. Mari's Steelixes are finally off their guard duty, people are crying out of various emotions and people who are physically well enough flood out of the shelters in an attempt to search for their loved ones out there, whether they be people or pokemon. Some are reunited, some are not. Either way, people are in this together, comforting others over their losses and rebuilding the city. There's been quite a lot of destruction apart from the Pokemon Center and the hospital, after all. Some buildings are missing a roof, holes on the side wall, doors knocked down... some are unfortunate to have been entirely blasted away by an extremely strong rampaging pokemon's hyper beam (thanks, random Hydreigon).

After most people calm from their initial high emotions, the reconstruction starts. Of course, they also contact the people from Toran who helped with reconstruction efforts. Looks like the handymen will never rest...

The Pokemon Center is looking for additional manpower, getting pokeballs here to there, labeling whose pokemon are whose in things looking like incubators for those in queue of getting healed, and managing supplies. They are extremely short-staffed right now, so they will be looking for any help possible. Though, if you cause too much trouble than helping, you may be politely asked to leave or to help somewhere else. They don't have time for this. During the nights, the Pokemon Center may be crowded. After all, many people just lost their homes. They got nowhere to go.

The hospital is similar, in which they are also short-staffed. They're looking for disaster volunteers, and especially pokemon with healing capabilities to lessen the load on doctors and nurses who need to care for the more gravely wounded. With more help, the hospital will no longer seem as chaotic as before, but more along the lines of an orderly busy time. It helps that the people are no longer stuck inside due to the ongoings of the events outside, so the hospital is emptier than before, compared to when it was jam packed. The mental health department is also using Drowzees and Munnas to give people good dreams and eating nightmares without repercussions so that they can have a good night's rest. Not all wounds are physical, after all.

With the local Mart's help and other establishments, some people band together to supply people with food and drinks in a very open area in the park. Take a breather and eat something. If you look like you're running yourself ragged, one of the townspeople will drag you to eat and drink a proper meal. They don't need another patient in the hospital right now.

Remember that boba shop? Or those restaurants that you had the delicious meat from? Their damages vary from a broken window to being absolutely trashed. Pokemon and people alike are helping with moving the debris and cleaning up the mess. Someone piped up about recycling broken glass to make brand new windows with fire pokemon and proper glass making methods, so please don't throw them away!

The Radio Tower and the cemetery tower? They're both closed off to the public right now with yellow police caution tapes all around them. Your friendly policemen who all look the same advise nearby people to stay away from the two buildings at the moment. Please don't cause trouble or ask them questions... they're tired as it is like everyone else and they're not allowed to say anything for now, if ever. Your energy is better used elsewhere.

[partymagician]

i - food and drinks;

[ Fai is helping out with the other townspeople serving meals to everyone! After everything over the past couple of days, the way Fai decides to cope is to forget about himself and take care of other people. So, here he is.

He seems more subdued now than he was before, his smiles much smaller and not so exaggerated. One of his hands is also bandaged up.

If he sees your character, he waves them over. ]

Come have something to eat!

ii - cleanup;

[ Fai can also be found sweeping broken glass off the ground to go take it to be recycled or hammering away while he helps to repair roofs. When he thinks he's alone, the smile on his face slips and he looks exhausted and worried. The moment he sees someone else, though, the smile is back on. ]

Want to come help me out?

iii - wildcard;

[ Hit me up with whatever!! ]

ii

[authoriser]

No.

[ Then why is Sooyoung even here? It looks like she's looking for something, but she can afford to take a break. ]

If you're worried about your favorite boba shop, they're repairing that.

[partymagician]

Good! I was worried!

[ Not really, but it's easier to just say he is instead of talking about how he hates seeing everything destroyed again. ]

Are you looking for something?

[authoriser]

Yeah.

[ Is she going to tell Fai what she's looking for? Maybe. Maybe not. But that's where she leaves it at. ]

You missed a spot.

I

[nyom]

[ Fooood... Efi sees Fai wave and toddles over. It's time to eat!! Though, she looks kind of tired. ]

Hi, Mister Fai...

[ She plops down on a seat, but then gets up to walk around again. ]

I'm full...

[ /whine

She isn't stopping her movements. ]

[partymagician]

[ Why is she so tired... he's immediately concerned but he keeps smiling at her to not tip her off to that.

When she starts to walk around again, he moves to pick her up and put her back on the chair. ]

Have something to drink instead!

[nyom]

[ Efi gets out from the chair and keeps walking around, though she's not leaving. She's just circling Fai while drinking a glass of water. ]

I have to keep moving or I'll die.

[ She says this with an expression that she's not sure why she's doing it, but she's doing it anyway? That's probably why she doesn't seem too concerned, but at the same time... gotta move. ]

ii

[parhellia]

[ Ala looks a bit lost and confused, not as harrowed as most of the other people here and by the little pink eyes branded around her neck, almost like a choker, Fai can probably deduce that she is new to this town, and to this world in general. Not knowing what's going on doesn't stop her from returning the grin, though, wide and bright at a flick of the switch, and she bounds up towards him, stopping short of crushing any of the broken glass scattered about the street. ]

I can help! Whatcha doing?

[partymagician]

[ Hm. He's never seen this girl before. She seems fine, though, and is definitely one of their little group judging by the brand that's the exact same as his.

He gestures to the broom in his hand. ]

Sweeping up glass! They're planning on recycling it to create new windows to replace all the broken ones.

[parhellia]

[ Hm! Ala leans back a little, holding her arms straight out in front of her with her palms out towards the little pile of glass. ]

Fwoooosh! ...Just kidding~

[ She laughs, letting her hands drop to her side as she looks left and right for a spare broom, or at least a dust pan so she can help Fai collect the glass somewhere. ]

Gotta do this all by hand, huh? I want to watch them melt it after!

i.

[rateup]

[ hey fai, it's your mans... itaru's seen better days, gaze landing on the bandages on fai's patched-up hand before he offers a weary smile at the other man. ]

Can't say no to free food. What's on the menu?

[partymagician]

Soup and sandwiches.

[ They're keeping it pretty simple, since there's a lot of people to feed. ]

Here. [ He hands Itaru a turkey sandwich wrapped in foil. ] I'll give you one of the ones I made!

[rateup]

Oh, thanks.

[ just what the doctor ordered. he turns the sandwich over and over a couple of times as he mulls over something, then: ]

Are you free? I mean, obviously not right now since you're working and all, but...

i.

[infiltrationtools]

[...This is horrifically awkward. This is the worst possible hing that could have happened. Why did it have to be Fai?]

[Still. He's hungry, and tired, and maybe it's best that he just doesn't acknowledge it at all. Akira's face is carefully neutral as he approaches. He tries really hard not to look at the arm.]

I will. Thanks, Fai.

[Morpeko is gearing up to eat all of it, and he needs to literally put a hand over her face to stop her.]

[partymagician]

[ Fai can tell that Akira feels awkward, especially when he avoids looking at Fai's injury. He forges on ahead like there's nothing wrong, his smile the same as always. ]

No problem! I'd be happy to bring you more, if you want. We ended up making extra.

[ He might need some, with the way Morpeko is trying to eat it. ]

[infiltrationtools]

[It's kind of funny how the offering of more food is the thing that gets Akira to make eye contact with him. Morpeko does too. Truly they are meant for each other.]

If you can spare it, I'd appreciate that.

[Surely there are other people who need it more, though, right?]

Wildcard

[selfconcept]

[ Hien is probably known to either be a man who lingers on a bench for too long or some sort of forest dweller. Either way, he's on the outskirts of the city near the forest where people will most likely not bother him, since they're all busy with reconstruction.

If Fai ever walks by, he might see a very familiar staff being spun by... someone? He looks like he's in his early thirties in modern clothes... totally normal. Sure. Hien and all his variations never get past the 5' 10" mark. He twirls the staff with good dexterity, making sure it doesn't hit anything, but that must be a really good workout for his fingers. To finish, he does one more swing and holds it regularly like how most people would hold a staff. ]

[partymagician]

[ Who is this rando and why does he have Fai's staff. It seems like he's good at twirling it too, so he's probably used a similar weapons before...

Fai tries hard not to panic, because in the wrong hands that staff could be extremely dangerous. He tries to act casual as he approaches the man, smiling like always.

But it's very strained. ]

Where did you find something like that?

[selfconcept]

Blessed by the gods, maybe?

[ Nah, he hates gods. Hien suffers every time he has to deal with them in any world he goes. Anyway, his voice sounds normal too, a little deeper than Hien's usual. He certainly seems like Hien's relative at the very least, since Fai did get to see him unmasked in his default appearance. He doesn't seem to have the cloak though. ]

It's very fancy. I want to keep it.

i

[scension]

[Sagi is just another subdued face in the crowd today, but it's only when he steps closer that his smile falters completely.]

Oh, your hand is still... [...in roughly the state you'd expect when you try to smash a window barehanded, yeah, but Fai had acted like it was fine at the time. Should Sagi have stopped him anyway? Does that make it his fault?] Is it serious?

[He hopes not.]

[partymagician]

Not at all!

[ He even wiggles his fingers a bit, biting back a wince because it does actually really hurt. ]

Don't worry about it too much. I knew the consequences when I decided to smash that window. It'll heal up just fine.

wildcard because I want more threads i guess

[selfconcept]

[ It's probably just another day. Hien is chilling in the forest like some uncivilized savage and maybe Fai brought some food over. Hien is due for another change of bandages and the usual supplies are out. He seems to be a little pensive about today's food though, showing how he takes a bite of the sandwich, looks back at it by holding it away from him, eating it, holding it away from him again... the cycle continues. ]

What's in this thing?

more threads more threads

[partymagician]

[ Fai frowns, trying to remember what exactly he put in it as he gathers the supplies up in his lap. ]

Sausage, onion, cucumber... I think I added ketchup and mustard as well.

[ It's a Porilainen yes I did look up sandwiches. ]

ii

[regression]

[ Joonghyuk already has a broom in his hand, so yes. He's already coming to help, which means he doesn't need to answer Fai's question. Before he goes back to sweeping debris into a dustpan, he points something out. ]

You don't need to smile if you don't want to.

[ Weirdo. ]

[partymagician]

[ Fai looks down at the ground and he forces the smile to stay on his face. ]

Someone around here has to smile, right?

[ It's a flimsy excuse and he knows it. ]
