Post-October Event Log

[nyom]

Who: Everyone
Where: Throughout Mango City
When: October 29 to November 2
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.

Comments

nanami should not tell him about sex games shes like 16!!!!

[weenwoon]

[Awww is babby upset? Is ouw widdwe pubby unhappy? Hythlo barely manages to hold back his laughter as he keeps annoying Hien, this time making him clap his paws together.]

it's... a book with sound. yeah.

[selfconcept]

[ Hien continues the growling, but it eventually subsides after he coughs once. Growling is not meant to be done long term. ]

... I'm glad you're having fun.

frankly he knows what sex games are they had them in his time. but its funny to dunk on hien

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo finally stops tormenting Hien and instead scoops him up to hold him close to his chest, patting Hien's head.]

I am. But I must say, this is a real surprise! Although I suppose such a form does suit you.

bully him some more

[selfconcept]

[ Hien sighs and curls up in Hythlo's hold. ]

It's not me, but like... the other "me". I am not a dog.

he WOULD make hien explain what sex is

[weenwoon]

[Aww, he can't really be mean when Hien is being adorable like that. He slides down the bench a little so that Hien can lie on his chest more comfortably.]

I know. I suppose what I meant to say was... if one was to guess what kind of animal you would be, this is an answer that is both true and unexpected.

[Have more pets. You're safe now, Hien.]

HYTHLO YOU DONT NEED AN EXPLANATION

[selfconcept]

[ Hien huffs and rests his head on Hythlo's arm. ]

A puppy... I guess it's better than sausage seal.

[ ... Sounds like there's a story behind that. ]

or DOES he /eyebrow waggle

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo's features slowly spread into a grin again.]

... A sausage seal?

tapes eyebrows together

[selfconcept]

A long, long time ago... before my name was Hien, there was a boy who had friends, who sometimes teased him about being likened to a seal because he was such a sleepyhead: never waking up before noon, a heavy sleeper, and the ability to sleep anywhere. It was in a way that seals tend to lie down on their side.

thats just one unified waggle

[weenwoon]

[Hythlo stays silent, considering the mental image... and then makes an "awww" sound of adoration.]

That is really sweet. Is that why you are so attached to your Pokemon?

do the waaaaave

[selfconcept]

... Not really.

[ Hm. Hien didn't consider that. ]

But I considered it really uncanny that a Spheal showed up to save my life and now she's in my team. And I thought it was even more weird that she acts like my past self too, to the point I considered that maybe... one of my past selves was just that Spheal in this world.

[weenwoon]

[... oh my god. Spheal Hien.]

I do not think I could have handled that. You are much too cute already.

[selfconcept]

... 'm not cute.

[ He quietly huffs. ]

But a better theory came along. Remember Duri? He might be it, but I can't use my powers to check. Though, I guess he's alright somewhere... I wouldn't be able to stay in a world if my other self is dead in it.

[weenwoon]

[You get a puppy forehead kiss, Hien.]

You are the cutest.

[Thinking about something happening to Duri, though... Hythlo freezes suddenly, staring off into the distance. Hien wouldn't be able to tell right away, but for Hythlo it feels as though time slows down as he unsuccessfully tries not to let his mind drag him back into the nightmarish memories again. He feels weak, nauseous, even though the things he remembers are not so clear-cut, only muddled shadows of fear that he is too afraid to dwell on.]

[selfconcept]

[ Oh no. He knows that reaction. Hien lightly teeths on Hythlo's hand to snap him out of it.

Wake up!! ]

[weenwoon]

[That helps a little. Hythlo looks down at Hien, then nods slowly. It's not enough to halt the panic attack, but he should be able to weather it better now. He slowly runs his fingers through Hien's fur, trying to focus on the sensation, on where he is now.]

[selfconcept]

Breathe, Hythlodaeus. Slowly...

[ Breathe in, breathe out... he even licks his hand once. ]

[weenwoon]

[Deep breaths... it's slow going and Hythlo's body tenses a couple of times, his mind uncertain how to cope with the panicked reactions and attempts at soothing them. But eventually it passes, leaving him with a feeling of deep exhaustion and a trembling in his hands.]

...Thank you. My apologies.

[He hugs Hien to himself tighter.]

[selfconcept]

[ Hien wraps his tiny dog arms around Hythlo's arm as much as he can. ]

No, I'm sorry... for bringing it up.

[weenwoon]

'Twas not your fault, Hien. But I am grateful for your concern.

[He just stays there, still petting him. Hien is alive. That's good. They're both alive.]

...Mayhaps I should speak of the things that haunt me, one day. I tire of making my friends worry for me.

[He still feels very sad about the troubles he and Sagi are having.]

[selfconcept]

I'll always be here if you need me.

[ Hien even nuzzles his head against Hythlo. Please feel better, friend... ]

[weenwoon]

[He does feel better, fortunately.]

And you say you are not cute.

[It's a familiar jab, but with barely any of the usual impishness behind it.]

...I wonder what kind of animal my other self would have been like.

[selfconcept]

I dunno... even though it's another version of you, you can look wildly different.

[ Hien's powers basically draw upon AUs I make. Fun. ]

For some reason, I think you would be a dolphin.

[weenwoon]

Ah, swimming majestically through the sea! You have good taste, Hien. I must admit I've always quite liked the ocean...

[selfconcept]

Dolphins are cute... and witty. Sometimes they play pranks. I think that fits you well--a free spirit in the vastness of the ocean... or something.

[ Hien doesn't miss the ocean, but night strolls on the beach are nice. ]

[weenwoon]

[He grins, ruffling Hien's fur again.]

You've no idea how right you are, Hien.

[A free spirit and a prankster... Hythlo is certain Hades would have agreed, even if grudgingly.]
