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.

... So it really is a sound transmitted by the tower.

[ Suspicions affirmed, Joonghyuk doesn't ask more since it won't help them return home to their worlds. It has been dealt with and Pokemon have returned to normal, albeit... In a weird way. Not that he can judge since he would probably destroy the machine instead. It's quick and efficient.

He knows that Sagi didn't get injured at least to the point where he left him to rest in the forest with a sandwich. Everything else is vague and... He's showing care in his own way.
]

I can pretend that I didn't see any of it.

[ If that's what Sagi wants. He won't forget, but he won't be bringing it up until relevant. ]

[For a moment, Sagi's gaze drifts off to his side like he's catching someone else's eye.] How would it even come up, I wonder...

[Like before when he sounded like he was talking to himself in the clearing, there is still nobody there. He just looks back up at Joonghyuk like the aside didn't happen.]

No, you don't have to pretend anything. It's not like I'd fit in around here anyway.

[It's a joke, after a fashion. He's smiling. It may have come out a little less jokey than he thought it would, but not to the point of outright bitter.]

But thanks. It's kind of you to ask.

... A truly kind person would be able to offer you more.

[ So he would rather not hear his actions are kind, even as a simple gesture of making Joonghyuk himself feel better instead. Still, there is a sense of guilt that he hasn't experienced until this lifetime, this regression.

Yes, the jokey part does not clearly cross.
]

All I can give is a story, if by chance that would make you feel you "fit in" or let your mind wander elsewhere.

[ Sometimes, he's good at words, but words doesn't mean Joonghyuk is good with emotions. It's always, always easier to let them be buried inside him... To not say anything at all. ]

But maybe you would prefer to be alone with whatever company you may have.

[ Whether it's Pokemon or something that only Sagi sees, Joonghyuk doesn't pry more. ]

Huh?

[Confused and mildly wary again, Sagi looks over his shoulder, then to either side. The clearing is quiet. None of his Pokemon jumped out while his attention was elsewhere. What could Joonghyuk mean... Oh, wait.]

No, I was just... thinking aloud?

[Probably? The question mark is very audible. Despite it happening just moments ago, he doesn't seem to have been fully aware he was talking to himself until Joonghyuk's roundabout way of pointing it out, because he wasn't.]

Um... what was that about a story?

[ ... Joonghyuk goes quiet and gives Sagi a confused look because that doesn't sound at all confident. That's something he would probably question, too, but he has given the other man a tough time already. They can just look like bewildered ducklings together in this forest. ]

Is that so.

[ He doesn't add a question mark??? tone to that, but that's definitely how he feels. ]

In my universe, everything is powered by stories... It's what makes a person, likewise giving them abilities and strength. It doesn't matter here, so it would only be a story.

[Sagi has enough feathers for at least two ducklings, it's true.]

I see... That's a little hard to imagine.

[He tries to be polite, since he doesn't want to outright say he isn't sure how a story would help. Joonghyuk hardly strikes him as someone who would offer anything like that insincerely.]

...I think I'll be okay. [His smile is small, but genuine.] But, uh - thanks for not making it a big deal.

[ He imagines it's difficult for people to understand, especially when it's something as literal as people in his world bleeding words. Joonghyuk only nods in understanding, seeing that this is all he can do and doesn't see why he should keep bothering Sagi more.

So he takes his leave with his Eevee scampering after him. She does look back every once in a while as if to make sure Sagi is safe until they both disappear into the forest.
