[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. )

[ Sooyoung is attending this meeting, but yet not at the same time. There's a guy in the restaurant with a black cap on his head to obscure his face a little, short black hair, black eyes, dressed pretty casually like an island native with a t-shirt and cargo pants. There's only some resemblance to Sooyoung, but this person is definitely a dude. Maybe a stranger. Either way, he seems to be eating normally, taking advantage of the fact that everything is free here. An Eevee seemingly scampers towards him with a note in its mouth and the person takes it out and reads it. He quietly passes it to Joonghyuk and Dokja, which reads "Nanami Chiaki is hospitalized." in Korean. Sooyoung's avatar sure is useful. He can act as a twin. Yeah. Totally not Sooyoung at all. Anyway, the avatar had been quiet, listening in on other people's conversations today combined with what Sooyoung listened in on during the meeting Rhel organized.

Once full, he starts jotting notes down on a notepad with pen and starts offering his findings. ]

It looks like the boba drink may be the cause for the townspeople being in a vegetable-like state. However, we see that it's not the case for everyone.

[ Since Minato has been drinking cups and cups full of it probably every day? He hasn't been counting. ]

The only ones who entered a vegetative state are the natives. However, people like Arisato who have probably been drinking these since day 1 aren't affected, who happens to be a foreigner. What sets apart the foreigners and natives are the strange markings somewhere on your body. Maybe it makes us immune to the boba's effects. Don't think about why, because that's not what this is about. If you have to, think on it on your own later.

[ aka don't ask irrelevant questions because he believes it'll get them really sidetracked from their goals of figuring out initial mysteries and they don't need that, seeing that they could be distracted just as easily. But he'll also encourage other people to think about it. ]

I have some others, but they're all loose theories.

[ The boba-marking theory was also pretty loose, but he hadn't seen it being brought up anywhere. I also don't want to mak this top level too long. Sooyoung's avatar is up for discussion as long as you start one civilly and seem to take it seriously. ]

[ Since not everyone has the time to read through two meeting posts, here is what was brought up so far:

- random items from home worlds sometimes appear. certain conditions met for it to happen is not obviously apparent.
- random items that seem to align with this world sometimes appear. certain conditions met for it to happen is not obviously apparent.
- abilities may come back. certain conditions met for it to happen is not obviously apparent.
- all pokemon seem attracted to combee's honey.
- stamp cards next to vegetable people has toran boba shop as final stamp. honey might be a special ingredient in the boba. probably a red herring, since it is on the secret specialty menu for a reason.
- though minato has been drinking them for so long, he hasn't turned into a zombie yet while natives have
- tide is rising more and more as day passes
- water level highest around NW side of the island. beaches in that area are relatively untouched.
- a girl met a drifloon on the beach and was buried in the sand
- drifloons have been infiltrating the hospital in gift baskets
- kids are missing from other places
- parents possibly told children not to go to the (nw) beach, because it's haunted. that's where drifloons usually drift(?)
- drifloons are common at the beach and hospital. kids weren't taken from hospital because there are people around. however, the beach is empty.
- mudkips seem to know whirlpool, which seems to be the key to leaving the island
- gyarados has two magikarp around it, one red, one gold. maybe babies.

- suggestions: using combee honey to lure the gyarados
- more serious suggestions?? idk.

If there is more info to be added, please either ping me at factious or on the discord channel! I just wanted to make this easier for everyone so everyone can contribute their own thing. ]
