[OPEN] 9/15 - Team Meeting

[joysticks]

[ With an info-gathering session on the eighth, Nanami decides to wait a few more days until they're about two weeks into the month to gather everyone again. She realizes that all the team members haven't sat down properly to bond with each other in a single group setting. She knows the importance of making sure that you get every single unit to have at least an A-rank with someone (S-rank if they're super compatible) and keeping up team morale so, on the thirteenth, a familiar shiny Mimikyu comes running up to everyone with a written note pinned on his costume: ]

team meeting plans to go to other islands and other discussions free food at Restaurant Le Nah tomorrow at 6:00pm - Nanami

[ Upon entering Le Nah the following day, a waiter will show the trainer to a large area in the back with multiple tables pushed together. There are already some appetizers ordered and spread across so feel free to help yourself. Nanami sits near the middle with her Mimikyu, feeding him by dropping little bits of food in front of him, and talking with her Mudkip, who just :V :V :V, as if she understands what he's saying. ]

( ooc: threadjacking is highly recommended in this log as it will be a group discussion! feel free to also create new top-levels that will only have a single type of discussion to keep things focused on the topic. )

[ Minato is here for the food. Also everything else? But food. He has very thick leather gardening gloves on and is mostly fumbling trying to hold things until his Yamask resorts to picking little fried cheese balls and shoving them into his mouth while they're still piping hot. A Murkrow sits on Minato's head with its talons firmly dug into his skull and occasionally peering down to see if there are any Minato fingers she can snack on.

Like Nanami, he mostly sits back and watches everybody talk, but he'll chime in on other people's theories. This is a prompt for talking about all the optional side quests that doesn't involve getting off the island; Minato will help guide the conversation so you can link all your clues together.

But also, ]

Are you sure we can't fight the Gyarados...? I can cause Armageddon once, now... Probably take out everything in the lake. But the Gyarados too.

[scension]

[He's not going to doubt the possibility that such an unassuming guy could nuke the Gyarados from orbit, but...]

How about you don't? The people here need that lake.

[compendiem]

It's a very big lake... The lake itself should be fine- it's got plenty of water to flow back into it. But if we're able to move all the other Pokemon out temporarily...

[ He could target just the Gyarados and make it go BOOM!!! The lake, at most, might be a little misshapen at the end, but that's it. ]

[scension]

[Great. He shouldn't feel like a killjoy for not wanting to nuke and potentially irradiate a lake.]

Yeah, but an entire lake's worth of fish? If you could transport that much, you could just... pick up the big guy and drop him somewhere instead.

[awooligan]

[Free barbecue? Free barbecue. Also yet another opportunity to shoot Minato a dead glare because 1) Murkrow, 2) Armageddon?? Rockruff is impatiently waiting for bones at Cliff's feet, chewing at the toe of his ugly shoes in the meantime.]

Yeah, just cause Armageddon, because that's a way to solve problems and totally won't create a million new ones. Shut up, dude.

[compendiem]

It's like... small scale Armageddon. Max six deaths Armageddon.

[ The Gyarados is a very huge problem! It is worth a million other problems. ]

[awooligan]

[six deaths...]

That's not fucking okay?! What's wrong with you!

[compendiem]

[ There's that question again. ]

It's just... sort of a figure of speech. But also sort of literal. I've only ever used it on Shadows. Not living things.

[awooligan]

[Maybe Minato needs to examine himself and his life, given how much he's had to hear it from Cliff. On the other hand, Cliff is reactive and still cranky about this whole situation, so it's possible it's just a him thing.]

Maybe not the best time to demo it? [Whatever a Shadow is... A corrupted ghost, maybe.] Gyarados is big, but if you aren't getting just it, then how the hell are you being any better? What if you seriously hurt someone?

[regression]

[ ....... he wants to see the Armageddon especially if it’s in a smaller contained scale (as he has overheard), but he knows better— ]

It might be good as a last resort.

[ This isn’t his world so he’s eh about the wildlife. ]
