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.

Well...

[Toki isn't sure that he's actually gone to different worlds, or if he's always been in a computer and the scenery has changed, or it's all in is head and he's never left Tokyo.]

Yes. I mean like, I was somewhere else before here, but it wasn't where I started from, and like, that other me? I remember his world, which was also not mine, so I guess that counts as two? You've been someplace else too?

... Yes. I was in another world before this one, but it wasn't my home world. Even in my universe, it's possible to travel between worlds for a select few.

[ So it's technically rare is what he's saying, at least for him. ]

Those sound like it was against your will.

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-11-06 04:00 am (UTC)(link)
That's the same as me!

[Or that's how Toki sees it with what he knows about his 'traveling'.]

It was, I mean, I didn't like, know I was going and it just kinda happened, but I always said there were other worlds, you know? But like, I wasn't supposed to talk about it anymore after the psychological examination and I knew it; they were just like, trying to make me say there weren't any other worlds but there are and you're proof of that too!

[ ... Toki sure seems to talk a lot with barely any context sometimes? Psychological examinations. People trying to silence him. Joonghyuk's eyebrows furrow in a concerned... Way rather than an angry way.

What the hell.
]

What kind of place was it?

[ He has gone through things, but to be brought somewhere with a different life, then have... examinations. He doesn't like that. ]

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-11-06 05:14 am (UTC)(link)
[Context is everything, and Toki rarely contributes any.]

The last place I went? The Edo period. Like 1860s with samurai and stuff and there were demons and like, I erased a princess from the timeline because I had like, these god powers and I didn't mean to, but I was kind of talked into using it somehow and then my friend didn't remember me anymore because the timeline shifted. Like... I could re-write things there.

[He doesn't know how to explain the powers he was given, or really understand them.]

[ It's all right, Joonghyuk is following because it's wild enough for him to believe. His own world is weird, too. His companion turned into a god-like figure as well, so this isn't too left field for him. ]

But this is when you were not yourself, either? Did they implant memories into you?

[ Is he getting this right? ]

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-11-07 12:35 am (UTC)(link)
No, I was me. I mean, not that other me that was here. He was from a small town with a forest and lion-monkeys. Edo was after I went to a museum in Tokyo.

[What is his life.]

Do you... do you think someone implanted memories!? Of what? Like, all of it, my entire life!? Is that why I never felt real!?

[Toki is so confused; maybe he should have gone with a linear timeline, but his brain doesn't work that way.]

[ Ohhhhhhhhh my god? Joonghyuk is the one trying to make sense of Toki's world hopping life, but now the man in question is just as confused. He grimaces as he tries to put him on track. ]

For simulations, it's a possibility... Implanting memories or erasing them are good methods to prep a subject.

[ But that isn't the point. ]

Try to think from the very beginning. It should help you organize your memories.

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-11-07 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
The very beginning...

[Toki closes his eyes for a moment, trying to recall everything.]

Okay, so like, I was born in a rural area and no one can really get anywhere in rural areas, so my parents sent me to boarding school in Tokyo when I was like five, and then I stayed at the droms and they forgot I existed, if I ever did, and then I kept running away from the school because I didn't like it and one day I was panicking because everything seemed unreal like it does sometimes and when I was little it was scarier, you know? And so I was crying in an alley and Suoh found me and I was scared of him, so I bit him, but then he took me to his apartment and made me omurice, and he called the police and they thought it was a kidnapping, and then I went back to the school, but I ran away to go see Suoh and it was like two weeks later that he died, they said, and then I was like sad, but then I forgot most of it, but I remembered later, obviously, or I couldn't tell you what happened to him, but anyway, I went through school and stuff and like dated a bunch of a girls and was really popular, but like, nothing was real and solid, and like, people were worried, so I had to go see someone for an evaluation and they like, you know, said this and that and so I tried not to talk about the like, unreality and that maybe I'm from somewhere else and that's why everything's disconnected, and then...

[He hasn't even gotten to world hopping yet. They're never going to get to the bookstore.]

[ Joonghyuk will get them to the bookstore. Don't worry. His expression also darkens considerably. ]

Summarize.

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-11-07 01:35 am (UTC)(link)
[Toki gulps; that was a demand.]

I failed a test and had to go to a virtual history exhibit on Edo and I got trapped in it and then I was here.

[personal profile] regression 2020-11-07 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
While not virtual, I've been "reincarnated" into another person's body and had to lead another life for some time, but there was a task that must be done to clear the scenario and escape that "reality."

[ Joonghyuk has considered that this world might be a simulation, likewise the previous, but— ]

Whether it's a exhibit or not, it doesn't change much. We still have to figure out how to leave this world.

[ Actually........... ]

Are you planning to return home?

[personal profile] yokeye 2020-11-07 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Like a game?

[Toki thinks he understands that on some level. He also thinks this is a simulation, as was his previous world, and the one he started in. He'd always considered himself a nameless protagonist in a video game, going through motions that weren't his until something happened. At the question, he frowns a little.]

I should want to, right? Home is supposed to mean something.

[personal profile] regression 2020-11-08 12:09 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, like a game. There is always a way to win a game.

[ That's what makes games and things mirroring games easier. Unfortunately, life isn't always like a game. It's just easier to digest if they think like that. ]

... That's subjective. Home might mean nothing to people, too.
