Post-October Event Log

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.

[Hythlo nods, folding his hands within the sleeves of his robe, as is his wont.]

Indeed. My friend Hien is from a different universe altogether, I believe, and so is Sagi. I understand the names likely mean naught to you... But out of all people I have met here, only two were ever part of my world. I believe it safe to assume that each and every one of us is from a different place.

[personal profile] 299z 2020-10-30 01:28 pm (UTC)(link)
[Yoichi doesn't recognize the names. Though he's met Hien, they didn't introduce themselves. Instead, he assumes Hien is one of the two from Hythlo's world; where masks might be popular.]

Okay. So, we've all been... chosen? To restore this land or universe or whatever it is?

[It seems very far-fetched, but he can't say it isn't true. There's a chance he's delirious from lack of food and physical exhaustion and he's still in the facility, but Yoichi chooses to believe he's not that weak; however more likely that scenario is logically.]
weenwoon: (contemplating the cheased burger)

[personal profile] weenwoon 2020-11-02 04:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods again.]

That is the long and short of it, I believe. We find ourselves bereft of our powers, so return seems to be impossible until we complete this task. Of course, we still do not know much... Not the precise nature of the threat, nor whether we shall be able to return to our worlds afterwards.

[personal profile] 299z 2020-11-02 04:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Powers like superpowers?

[Okay. It's fine. This is fine.]

[personal profile] weenwoon 2020-11-02 04:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hythlo laughs, a little awkwardly.]

I suppose one could say so... The definition is different for all of us, of course. Things that are as natural as breathing for me are a mystery to the others, and vice versa. Hien, the friend I mentioned... can alter his appearance in a matter of seconds, donning the guise of one of his myriad other selves. A most remarkable power, and one that would be unthinkable for me. I, on my part, possess the ability to create things out of 'thin air', as they say...

[He raises a hand, concentrates. A ball of soft light appears above his hand, spins, resolves... into an Eevee plushie. He's been expanding his arsenal.]

Like so. No one else among us can do this, it appears. We are all different, but what unites us is that we are all... people.

[personal profile] 299z 2020-11-02 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He just stares as Hythlo displays his conjuring and creation. Both this and Hien's apparent shapeshifting and the idea of 'other selves' are things that only exist in comics and novels to Yoichi.]

I can't do anything like that.

[personal profile] weenwoon 2020-11-02 05:08 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hythlo smiles.]

As I said, we are all but people. You have an interest in battling and competing with your Pokemon, yes? On that score, I am certain you are far ahead of me already. I am positively useless at it.

[personal profile] 299z 2020-11-02 05:18 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't won yet.

[He doesn't sound disappointed, more determined.]

I will.

[The closest thing Yoichi has to a superpower is analyzing situations and being hyper spatially aware, to the point he's been able to predict outcomes with precise accuracy, like a premonition. His goal is to get to that point with Pokemon battles, and then he will win every time. Getting his hands on published information on movesets and innate abilities has been fruitless though, and it will take a lot more time to get anywhere close to ultimate victory.]

[personal profile] weenwoon 2020-11-04 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
[He nods.]

I have no doubt in that. You have the fire.

[Remembering that, once again, he's skipped the introductions, Hythlo raises his hand to his chest.]

My name is Hythlodaeus. May I have yours?

[personal profile] 299z 2020-11-04 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Hythlodaeus does sound like an 'Ancient' name, like those Greek philosophers or European classical composers. Neither thing Yoichi ever paid attention to. They're old, though.]

I'm Yoichi.

[personal profile] weenwoon 2020-11-04 01:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[That's okay, Yoichi, Hythlo is also like maybe a thousand years old. Maybe more. Imagine.]

A pleasure to meet you, master Yoichi. As I mentioned, I've little to no talent for the battles... But should there be anything I could help you with, do not hesitate to ask.

[personal profile] 299z 2020-11-04 01:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Hythlodaeus. I'll be sure to do that.

[He smiles and nods, but he has no intention of seeking Hythlodaeus out if he has no useful advice in the fighting arena. Only for potential battles where the strange man can display his lack of talent.]
