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.

[ shit, fai's completely trapped him in this topic. he sighs as he sits down on the nice grassy spot beneath the tree. ]

I mean... I guess? I'm not really sure, though. But like -- you said you lived for so long, right? And had been to a lot of worlds?

[ ughhhhh he doesn't wanna ask this. but he has been thinking about it on and off ever since he got separate from his first group of isekai-havers. he's got to get to the bottom of this now. ]

Basically, have you ever liked someone in one of those kinda worlds? Knowing that you have to leave one day?

[ Fai sits down next to him, leaning back against the tree. ]

Ah... not really.

[ If he's honest, Fai has never let himself have feelings for someone. He doesn't think a relationship with him would be worth it for someone else, not with the... everything that he comes with.

But he'd be lying if he denied the fact that Kurogane briefly flashed through his mind. He didn't develop feelings for him, but it's been a very long time since he's spent so much time with someone and gotten (somewhat) close to them like he has with Kurogane. ]


I was never in a world long enough to have feelings for someone there. [ He looks at Itaru. ] I'm assuming you were?

I...

[ he flushes. boy, where does he even start. ]

I'm not sure, actually. It's hard to explain, but before I spawned here, I... wasn't myself in some of the worlds I've been in? It's like I was living the alternate-universe version of myself until we managed to solve the problem of that world. It's like that with a girl I met, so I wasn't really sure of how I felt about her even now.

[ he looks down on his lap and sighs out a sheepish laugh. ]

I'm not even sure if I'll ever see her again. But I already knew that coming into this isekai business so it's not that I'm super bummed over it, yet...

[ aaaaaaa ]

[ Fai smiles. It's cute that Itaru flushes just talking about this. If this weren't a somewhat serious conversation, he would definitely say something about it. ]

I'm sure you're still a little disappointed you can't see her. It's always sad, saying goodbye to people you don't know if you'll see again.

[ Whether or not you happen to have feelings for them. But he's going to circle back to what Itaru said earlier. ]

Even if you weren't always yourself, if you liked her even after coming to your senses, I think it's safe to say that you did like her.

O-Oh.

[ like, it's nice to get a confirmation from fai, but this is just making itaru blush even more as the realization dawns on him.

but that fades just as quickly with a dejected sigh. ]


Well, that sucks, 'cause I'm never gonna get closure now. Just makes me think of how getting attached to people here can be dangerous when I'm trying to get out of thinking like that.

[personal profile] partymagician 2020-11-07 02:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Fai's quiet for a little while, trying to think of what to say. ]

I think... it's okay to get attached to the others here, even if we risk never getting closure.

[ He says that softly, like he's also telling himself this and not just Itaru. What he's worried about isn't necessarily not getting closure, but that he's afraid to invite people in. ]

Trying to keep yourself distant would just hurt you more in the end, I believe. You would wonder about what could have been, and regret not knowing.

[personal profile] rateup 2020-11-08 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Mm.

[ he's thinking about it, and he nods. fai is right in the end, but it looks like they both have a long way to go. ]

Well, this is a start, right? I haven't had the chance to talk about that before, so... Thanks.

Of course.

[ And because he absolutely cannot resist— ]

Did I just net a lot of affection points with you?

[ That's how Itaru put it, he thinks. ]

[personal profile] rateup 2020-11-08 04:45 am (UTC)(link)
Ah--

[ that came out of nowhere??? wait, no, that's totally in line with the topic at hand. fai earns a laugh from him anyway. ]

Yeah, you sure did. [ what the heck, don't just turn this around on him!! ] But I won't lose, you know. Whenever you're ready to tell me your backstory, I'll be all ears.
partymagician: (75)

[personal profile] partymagician 2020-11-08 04:50 am (UTC)(link)
[ Both the laugh and his words make Fai smile. ]

Are you sure? It's a long story, you know.

[ There's mostly just a lot that is hard to talk about, and he feels like he needs to make it sound lighter than it really is. ]

I wouldn't know where to start, when I do. I might tell you in bits and pieces instead.

Eh, I've sat my ass down and read through visual novels that are just as long plenty of times before. So long as you can get some stuff off your shoulders that you've been carrying for so long, that should be more than enough.

[ he doesn't have boba with him, so he's extending his half of his sandwich towards fai. ]

Deal?
partymagician: (101)

[personal profile] partymagician 2020-11-08 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
[ He's not sure what a visual novel is, but he imagines they're similar to those comics that his traveling companion read on a tablet.

Fai looks down at Itaru's sandwich for a moment before extending his own half. ]


Deal.

[ He looks down at the ground, then back up at Itaru. ]

...Thank you.
