  2. Narrator has connected.
  3. Ma-Nyeo has connected.
  4. Grace has connected.
  5. Narrator: Slapping some images and then saving. Will start afterward if people want to.
  6. Grace: Ready whenever!
  7. DNA: On standby.
  8. Avara has connected.
  9. DNA: YEAH BOI
  10. Ma-Nyeo: Yay!
  11. Grace: woo!
  12. Avara: congratulations, computer, you have avoided being culled today
  13. Avara: ...asdfafn i forgot about the darkrai ffffuckit gonna just main magearna
  14. DNA: INTERROGATION maybe.
  15. Mike has connected.
  16. Narrator: Okay. Gosh. Geez.
  17. Narrator: We good? We ready? We wanna do some things/
  18. Ma-Nyeo: I'm ready and good!
  19. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo still has Glade in her lap, wherever they ended up.
  20. Avara: let's do some things
  21. Avara: before things decide to do us
  22. Narrator: I'm pretty sure people would like a recap. Amiright?
  23. Avara: yesplz
  24. DNA: Sounds like a good idea.
  25. Ma-Nyeo: Are you offering Kaorin? Because your spin on it would probably be hilarious.
  26. Narrator: Uh, I don't think it would be right now.
  27. DNA: Well, we staked out the location on Route 1 looking for the kidnapper, with Ma-Nyeo as (jail)bait. Said Darkrai kidnapper ripped a hole out of the Reverse World with two helpers, but unfortunately didn't buy the disguise because she was too horny. The Darkrai was horny, I mean. Ma-nyeo only became so after the fact.
  28. DNA: So Ma-nyeo got thrown into the Reverse World and we followed suit. A brief conflict ensued and we got out (but it hurt), and we found out that Darkrai was not the one calling the shots, but rather this 'Overlord' figure who specifically wanted children. I dunno, maybe children are cuter or something.
  29. Ma-Nyeo: We know they're being used for hybridization. And that children take to it better. And that they're being taken to an island off of fuschia.
  30. DNA: Anyway the Darkrai is angry that we destroyed her stuff so we'll probably be going down to ask Gary or somebody to get it fixed. ...The Poke Ball.
  31. DNA: Ah yes. We do indeed know all of those things. But the hard part is getting to Fuchsia, and the children still haven't been reclaimed. At least the kidnappings have probably stopped, which is a step in the right direction? But we have a follow-up to do later.
  32. Narrator: Got more or is that it?
  33. DNA: I don't have any more.
  34. Ma-Nyeo: Glade saved Ma-Nyeo from a lot of trouble in that fight. The Darkrai was captured, her assistants escaped but possibly died.
  35. Ma-Nyeo: At least, the cursed one.
  36. Avara: giratina's probably grumpy about kids making a mess on its lawn
  37. Narrator: "Who left all this blood and guts here? Oh ewww, I stepped in it!"
  38. Grace: Sarah was wanting to shake the fox to have it go nuclear, but they were kinda KO'd via sleep before they could do so, beyond that seems about right!
  39. Narrator: _b Alright then.
  40. DNA: ...Exploding foxes?
  41. DNA: I like where this idea is going.
  42. Grace: Ye, ya just gotta shake her a touch to rile her up. :A
  43. Avara: shake and bake nuclear meltdown?
  44. June 3rd, Tuesday.
  45. 72 degrees with an 80 degree humidity. It feels nice and is very humid.
  46. There's a 15mph wind blowing south.
  47. It is incredibly foggy.
  48. Time: 12:14 AM.
  49. Grace: Well firey meltdown but ye! :U
  50. DNA: BAKING SODA AND VINEGAR
  51. Avara: this is why you don't use the pocket meth labs
  52. DNA: ...wait...
  53. Grace: Well she stays chill for a reason
  54. DNA: Oh right, it is past midnight
  55. Avara: time to go say hi to the coppers?
  56. Narrator: I'll do a quick....thing
  57. Cassiopeia: "This may be a good opportunity for you to remember it - or if not, then choose one for yourself. You have tremendous freedom, one that not many people have."
  58. Darkrai: "Well, I definitely remember my last name." Darkrai says, looking up at the sky and shakes Hotaru's hand, "Uhhhhm, Eph....Epheduin Calypso."
  59. Darkrai: "Man. My name sucked."
  60. Hotaru Joy: "If you want a new one, we can work on it together."
  61. Cassiopeia: "Calypso? I like it."
  62. Sarah: "That's not too bad!"
  63. Darkrai: "Well, Calypso is cool. Epheduin was cultural."
  64. Darkrai: "...Let's just go with Calypso."
  65. Cassiopeia: "Another figure of Greek mythology - so I can certainly appreciate that name myself."
  66. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso it is, then. Nice to meet you."
  67. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo is trying to keep quiet in her corner, petting Glade as she naps.
  68. Darkrai: Darkrai performs a graceful curtsy, "Pleasure to not have killed you, ladies. Please, be kind to this dark mistress."
  69. Sarah: Sarah couldn't help but let out a groan but with a smile on her face at that phrasing.
  70. Darkrai: Darkrai has been renamed to Calypso. Congratulations! It's a girl! Kinda!
  71. Welcome to the wonderful world of watakon!
  72. Pokemon. That. DO STUFF!
  73. DNA: So I'm going to feel a bit stupid if I asked this, but I wasn't around for the one session we went through Route 1.
  74. DNA: ...Have those tiny footprints always been there?
  75. Narrator: Yes. That's actually Glades footprints.
  76. Narrator: Of which, I think, Hotaru tracked to find her.
  77. Avara: hotaru or mana
  78. DNA: Okay. They just stood out to me and I wasn't sure if they were new or not.
  79. Narrator: Ralts have the tiniest of feetses.
  80. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo did
  81. Avara: thought so. wasn't sure.
  82. Narrator: Creepy Mufufufu did.
  83. Avara: bluh. dinner is not settling well
  84. Narrator: You did stat up Darkrai, right?
  85. Hotaru Joy: (( you appear to have missed the part where i got upset when i realized i forgot to do that during the week and had literally no time today ))
  86. Hotaru Joy: (( that's okay. i missed that part too. ))
  87. Narrator: Well that sucks but, oh well.
  88. Narrator: She'll just keep her current stats for now.
  89. Narrator: But I'll force you to stat her up or not use her next week.
  90. Avara: **thumbs up**
  91. Narrator: Added to your box
  92. Darkrai: "So, anyone interested in some jokes?"
  93. Hotaru Joy: "Sure."
  94. Ma-Nyeo: ((Stalling hard!))
  95. Mike: (( Ah, sorry. ))
  96. Mike: (( If you were waiting on me, I think it's in a good spot now. ))
  97. Ma-Nyeo: (( Nah, just kidding. That wasn't fair. >.> ))
  98. DNA: Sableye? Where?
  99. Mike: (( Good timing though! ))
  100. Darkrai: "What is the leading cause of divorce in long-term marriages?"
  101. Darkrai: (( This is just RP. You can keep giving it touch ups if you want. ))
  102. Ma-Nyeo: "Death?"
  103. Hotaru Joy: "Audino, what is it?
  104. Darkrai: "A stalemate."
  105. Sarah: "Hm? Uh... what?"
  106. Hotaru Joy: "I get it~."
  107. Cassiopeia: A small chuckle. "Clever."
  108. Darkrai: Darkrai rubs her chin, "Hmm hmm hmm..."
  109. Sarah: Sarah will face palm at realizing it was a pun.
  110. Darkrai: "Why did the scarecrow get a promotion?"
  111. Hotaru Joy: "Why did it?"
  112. Darkrai: "Because he was out standing in his field."
  113. Hotaru Joy: (( PROMOTION!? WHAT FOR!? ))
  114. Hotaru Joy: "Hahaha. You're pretty good with puns."
  115. DNA: For getting Sonic to fall for it!
  116. Darkrai: Darkrai smiles happily, "Okay, okay. Last one."
  117. Darkrai: "Why isn't your nose twelve inches long?"
  118. Sarah: "I'd say their more Painful than punful. Then again that's probably how it's needed to be. Oh! Because then it'd be a foot."
  119. Cassiopeia: "Because Pinocchio dislikes competition?"
  120. Darkrai: "Aww, the alternate colour human got it."
  121. Hotaru Joy: "If you like telling puns, go ahead and share all the ones you want."
  122. Darkrai: "what did the mermaid wear to her math class?"
  123. Hotaru Joy: "A shell of a dress?"
  124. Darkrai: "An algae bra."
  125. * Hotaru Joy giggles.
  126. * Cassiopeia let out a slightly louder chuckle than before.
  127. Sarah: "Alternate color...? Actually I'll let that slide for now. I think I get more sun than most of you. Ah damn it I knew that one."
  128. Ma-Nyeo: "I haven't heard any of these before."
  129. Hotaru Joy: "I really like wordplay. You don't get a lot of shows of wit living in caves when you can't speak pokemon."
  130. Darkrai: "I apologize alternate colour human. Though I suppose calling me boobies the darkrai would be just as insulting. What's your name?"
  131. Hotaru Joy: (( did anyone introduce themselves at all? ))
  132. Ma-Nyeo: "I'm Ma-Nyeo. This is Miss Mallow."
  133. Darkrai: "Also, before you ask, because it'll come up sooner or later, Y E S I have a specified sex. Y E S I am female. Y E S I can breed and not just because it's mating season."
  134. Cassiopeia: "Reminds me of the one I heard about someone leaving some really expensive trousers on his chair."
  135. Sarah: "Eh, when you're board construction workers tend to think of some." She'll say throwing in one herself. Looking over to the resident dark type, she'll wave her off. "It's cool, I get what your'e coming from. I'm Sarah, and this little white lazeabout is Suzy."
  136. Hotaru Joy: "I wasn't actually going to ask. As far as who you breed with, as long as legal consent happens I don't really feel like it's my business getting involved in that decision process."
  137. Sarah: "...Huh. Well, if you don't remember, but humans have specific sexes, I'm female, and humans get a shot a month for kids."
  138. Darkrai: Darkrai tilts her head, "...I'm unfamiliar with this species. It looks like a Vulpix but its not. I don't read any fire aura."
  139. Hotaru Joy: "That's a regional variant, I think."
  140. Miss Mallow: "From my home, in Alola."
  141. Darkrai: Darkrai blinks a few times, "I don't understand. What is....regional variant?"
  142. Sarah: "Oh! Suzy here's a- yeah! A regiional variant. Her kind lives in the mountains in alola which can get pretty cold. Though her parents were one from over here, and alola. Which means she can get pretty heated when she's angry."
  143. Hotaru Joy: "Pokemon from alola sometimes develop their species differently, to adapt to the area and circumstances. They got ice vulpixes and ice-fairy ninetales."
  144. Sarah: "I was gonna try it against you actually but we kinda passed out."
  145. Darkrai: Darkrai now has an official dumbfounded expression, "I...what? We can do that?"
  146. Cassiopeia: "It's how species can grow or possess different characteristics based on where they live or how they grow up in the world. I have heard in the tropics, as perhaps a cruel irony, that Vulpix are more acclimated to the cold."
  147. Sarah: Sarah shrugs. "There's a lot of different types over here than I'm used to, though it's generally the same pokemon from what I've seen. Just... adapted to their new home."
  148. Hotaru Joy: "Adaptation. Kind of the same thing that eventually lead to humans and pokemon splitting off."
  149. Darkrai: "So, if I live underwater I'll become Water Type?"
  150. Hotaru Joy: "It's more of a multigenerational thing. Usually. I don't know how your science-y-ness would react."
  151. Sarah: "Oh! That might be why I'm a bit more tanner, than my... fairer compatriots. And.., maybe? Though it'd probably not be instant. I'm guessing it needs to happen over generations?"
  152. Darkrai: "Ooh! Ooh! How do you become Dragon Type?!" Darkrai asks prancing in place.
  153. Miss Mallow: "It's more like how pokemon breeders create color variations. Regions will do that naturally, through generations."
  154. Sarah: "Oh man, I'd like to be dragon type, that'd be sick."
  155. Cassiopeia: "I don't believe it works quite like that. Usually traits like that happen when one is born, and don't really manifest mid-life."
  156. Deep Blue: "I wonder if I, too, can harness the power of Dragons."
  157. Ma-Nyeo: "Can't the people how made you dark type make you dragon type too?"
  158. Darkrai: Darkrai contemplates this issue.
  159. Ma-Nyeo: *who
  160. Sarah: "Well, some things are passed parent to child. THough with alola, it tends to make the ice types fit in with an ice type area. Leadin' to ma lil' friend here."
  161. Hotaru Joy: "I think, if we want you to become a dragon, we'd be best off asking the people who made you a darkrai to add some dragon in. Failing that, we could go mountain hiking and explore for the lost ruins of a dragon-worshipping cult that mainly conveyed metaphysical concepts through overt vocalizations."
  162. Darkrai: "Well, yes. I guess? But that'd be ike...becoming a predetermined species of dragon. But I'd rather be like Suzy and just develop it on my own."
  163. Hotaru Joy: (( yes, hotaru just said we'd go find the greybeards ))
  164. Hotaru Joy: (( from skyrim ))
  165. Darkrai: "So you wanna go to Cinnabar?"
  166. Ma-Nyeo: Cunning Pokemon Lore. Can this happen? Type syncing? 1+6+4+7=18
  167. Sarah: "Oh! No, suzy was born from a mother like her. She didn't change from... a fire type right? Anyway, changed to ice currently. And what's over at Cinnabar? Beyond people we need to paunch in the face?"
  168. Ma-Nyeo: ".... Cinnabar is a bright and terrible place."
  169. Hotaru Joy: "It sounds like Cinnabar is kind of on our way to fuschia, but we'd need something to ride on safely. We don't have a big enough surf-mon for all of us. Or any of us really."
  170. Cassiopeia: "And I don't think I saw any boats or larger vessels at Pallet either. ...This is a conundrum."
  171. Darkrai: "You want to swim?"
  172. Hotaru Joy: "If we get paid well we could fly to Cinnabar or Fuchsia, maybe, but we still don't know how that's going."
  173. Sarah: "Wha? Ya don't have boats? Shame. How far is it? I don't mind a swim."
  174. Darkrai: "Well, we can all go drowning."
  175. Ma-Nyeo: "There are stories of poekmon being created by scientists, or the legends of pokemon created by Ho-oh. Most people don't believe them. But it's possible. Much more interesting than silly ol' Cinnabar."
  176. Cassiopeia: "Barring some aqualung I don't think that's a wise idea."
  177. Darkrai: "I mean, uh...deepsea diving. Not drowning. I'm not thinking of trying to kill myself and see if I become a ghost type. Noooo, that's silly."
  178. Darkrai: "I serious tho, diving. Not drowning. I'm not very good at slipping in funny."
  179. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso, dear?"
  180. Cassiopeia: "Of course that's silly. That would make you Water-type first."
  181. Sarah: An island gal like me isn't gonna drown anytime soon. And don't kill yaself. That just tends ta leave ya dead, and not ghostly."
  182. Ma-Nyeo: "It's true. 99% of ghosts were born ghosts."
  183. Hotaru Joy: "We're trying to figure out a way to not have to swim. But if you want to explore the ocean's depths, we'll find a way. I bet there's sunken ships and everything."
  184. Darkrai: "Hm? But what about Yamask?"
  185. Darkrai: "Aren't those deceased humans that cry all the time when they see their face in their mask?"
  186. Ma-Nyeo: "Most Yamask are born Yamask."
  187. Darkrai: Darkrai gasps, "What?!"
  188. Darkrai: "I demand we go to Shoku Swamp."
  189. Darkrai: "Those Yamask LIED TO ME!"
  190. Ma-Nyeo: "Yes! North is the opposite of Cinnabar and therefore good."
  191. Hotaru Joy: "... okay. That's extra-north. We're going to have to make actual plans for our actual routes."
  192. Deep Blue: "I heard that Yamask thing was made up to attract tourists."
  193. Sarah: "Well... they may have been trying to trickyourself for bein' gullible. Rather... rude, but ghosts tend to have gallows humor."
  194. Darkrai: "And I will eat them for doing it. And that'll teach them to not do that stuff."
  195. Darkrai: "Because they'll be dead. And I'll have a full belly."
  196. Ma-Nyeo: "No it won't. It will kill them."
  197. Hotaru Joy: "I'm up for exploring some fancy new terrain. I really want to meet your makers, but I guess I'd like some time to think about stuff first, too."
  198. Darkrai: Darkrai tilts her head, "But...Ma-Nyeo, that's the best way to teach a ghost, innit?"
  199. Hotaru Joy: "... Okay. Uh... Sarah, Cass, which one of you is the saner of the two?"
  200. Cassiopeia: "My impression of a river is rather mediocre but I can try my best."
  201. Darkrai: "Well, if you really want to meet these pups, I do suggest we walk along the seabed to Cinnabar."
  202. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo has noticed her exclusion from that list.
  203. Darkrai: "It'll be cool. Just need equipment."
  204. Sarah: "Sane? I take a touch offense to you questioning my mental capacity!"
  205. Darkrai: Darkrai ponders this situation.
  206. Hotaru Joy: "I'm having a terrible idea and I need someone to play bad idea banisher."
  207. Cassiopeia: "I'll get my sigils and paper tags out."
  208. Sarah: "Wait what's this about pups? And yeah, I suppose I could, though if it's drinkin' or gamblin' I'll probably be a bad pick for advice... unless ya wanna win."
  209. Darkrai: "Well, according to my biological data...." Darkrai points to Hotaru, "You're shiny human and most likely to become a recipient of Pokerus. So you have the highest likelihood of being less sane than those of your average species."
  210. Deep Blue: "But you didn't buy any paper..." Deep Blue stated, clearly not getting it.
  211. Sarah: "Aight, wait, what makes her shiny? I'm curious now."
  212. Darkrai: Darkrai points to Cassiopeia, "You seem to have a connection to animated object Pokemon and we all know those humans are the kinds that like to make brand new weird ass Pokemon, as if they're playing Arceus! So you're number two in likelihood of being less sane than those average of your species."
  213. Darkrai: "Sarah and Ma-Nyeo have no factors I've seen yet that indicates anything other than average humans."
  214. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo smiles.
  215. Hotaru Joy: "See. Shoku Swamp is an area with almost no human activity. No Routes, no roads, nothing. And that means pokemon that might need help, and humans that might need help after getting too daring and dangerous. And like. All of my brain right now is saying 'Put a pokemon center right in there you know because that wouldn't be seven kinds of hell living alone in pokemon ghost swamp.'"
  216. Cassiopeia: "Oh, Deep Blue? He was a gift from a friend."
  217. Ma-Nyeo: "I thought you didn't want to work at a pokemon center."
  218. Hotaru Joy: "Exactly!"
  219. Sarah: "...Huh. Aight, I'll take that as a compliment because I don't wanna punch you in the face too much, and stir some trouble for na reason. As for tha pokemon center, don't those need ta be in populated areas?"
  220. Hotaru Joy: "Pff. No. My mom's Center is inside Mount Moon."
  221. Cassiopeia: "Well, building a Pokemon Center in the middle of a swamp isn't the most practical of ideas, unless you want to keep building them and hoping the fourth one stays up. Shipping goods in and out of there might also be painful as well if a settlement of some sort isn't made first. And due to the area being dangerous, a lot of people would be reluctant to even go there at all, building crew or otherwise."
  222. Cassiopeia: "So unless there's some sort of established presence in or near the swamp, I don't think it's a good idea to build a center there just yet."
  223. Sarah: "Huh. Fair enough I guess? Centers back home are usually in relitively high traffic areas. Usually in cities."
  224. Cassiopeia: "I don't know much about Mount Moon and how often it's traveled as a route, though."
  225. Hotaru Joy: "It really isn't. That's why mom put a Center there."
  226. Ma-Nyeo: Cunning What is north of Shoku Swamp? 1+2+6+5=14
  227. Hotaru Joy: "The next most visited center is Viridian Forest."
  228. Cassiopeia: "Good point. At this point I'm mostly worried if you can actually build a building there at all. Mount Moon wouldn't be a big deal as you have a lot of solid rock there, and even Viridian Forest would have terra firma. Don't know if I could say the same about Shoku Swamp."
  229. Hotaru Joy: "I bet I could get the Pewter construction company to see that as a challenge."
  230. Cassiopeia: "...Ooh, I like it."
  231. Sarah: "What's that mean?"
  232. Hotaru Joy: "... Wait no I'm supposed to be not trying to make this work damn it!"
  233. Cassiopeia: "...Now I'm confused. Do you want the center to be built in the swamp or don't you?"
  234. Hotaru Joy: "I don't know!"
  235. Ma-Nyeo: "Pokemon centers are in cities or on routes. Routes that go to places. North of Shoku Swamp is Mount Tate, not another city."
  236. Darkrai: Darkrai waggles her finger, "See? She might have Pokerus."
  237. Hotaru Joy: "I don't think I have pokerus, but if I do I'm infecting you first."
  238. Cassiopeia: "...Would you be able to point out Shoku Swamp on a map for me? See where the closest populated area would be?"
  239. Ma-Nyeo: "It's just north of Pewter City."
  240. Sarah: "Wait, why would that mean she has the pokerus?"
  241. Cassiopeia: "Just north? How far north? Is there anything out there besides the mountain? Better yet, does the mountain have a center?"
  242. Ma-Nyeo: "One of the biggest ghost hotspots in Kanto." Ma-Nyeo smiles.
  243. Hotaru Joy: "I only know the Kanto branch of the Joy family. ... although I would totally be up for meeting the rest of my extended family once we're done doing our thing for Scion here.
  244. Ma-Nyeo: "There's the swamp, then a lot of mountain. Then on the other side of the mountain it's just desert."
  245. Hotaru Joy: "
  246. Ma-Nyeo: "Shoku Swamp is the wet side of the mountain."
  247. DNA: Wet or west?
  248. Ma-Nyeo: wet
  249. Avara: wet, as in not dry
  250. Ma-Nyeo: as in, swamp. catches rainfall
  251. Ma-Nyeo: which is why the other side is arid.
  252. DNA: That's what I thought, I just wanted to confirm.
  253. Cassiopeia: "Then we could find out from" (slutty Joy in the Pallet center whose name I've forgotten) "if there is a center up by Mount Tate, and the distance between it and Pewter warrants an in-between stopover."
  254. Hotaru Joy: (( excuse me but, sluttty? really? ))
  255. DNA: It's faster than typing 'makes a lot of dirty jokes'
  256. Hotaru Joy: (( dna i am disappoint ))
  257. Hotaru Joy: (( you could have said lewd or crass ))
  258. DNA: You're right, I could have said crass
  259. DNA: Huh. Now I'm disappointed.
  260. DNA: Still, that Joy. Who doesn't make much of an impression on me.
  261. Hotaru Joy: (( suzuka ))
  262. Darkrai: (( pfft ))
  263. DNA: Suzuka, thank you
  264. Cassiopeia: "Then we could find out from Suzuka if there is a center up by Mount Tate, and the distance between it and Pewter warrants an in-between stopover."
  265. Ma-Nyeo: "Suzuka! We need to go tell people what happened."
  266. Hotaru Joy: "By the legion-mother... I think I need to take some time to reassess life goals, if I'm entirely honest? This whole pokemon adventure thing will be good for that, but I want to get started early on whatever I decide to do for a living."
  267. DNA: Legion-mother... I get it.
  268. Avara: oh?
  269. Avara: what do you get?
  270. DNA: Something about Joy heritage.
  271. Avara: not unless kao decides to make it be.
  272. DNA: It isn't established yet? Dangit.
  273. Avara: hotaru has the quirk non-pokemon-centric religion
  274. Avara: she believes in a set of gods that aren't pokemon. because pokemon are just pokemon.
  275. Avara: you can stuff arceus in a ball, for all his creative ability.
  276. Ma-Nyeo: Cunning. Are the Joy and Jenny families secretly feuding ninja clans who use their respective trademark careers as fronts to hide their machinations? 4+5+5+5=19 (STUNT! 4 Stunt Points)
  277. Avara: same for the tapu, mew, etc
  278. Sarah: "Wait, what the hell is a leigon-mother???"
  279. DNA: Tapu are the equivalent of DBZ's Guru/Kami
  280. Hotaru Joy: "Before I answer that, let me ask you a question."
  281. DNA: Now I just imagine Bulu going "NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIL"
  282. Darkrai: Darkrai shrugs, "But the pokerus was the crazy factor. And she's shiny because of her radiant aura likely from a strong heritage."
  283. Hotaru Joy: "How uh... what's the word?"
  284. Hotaru Joy: "How devout are you to your whole Tapu thing?"
  285. Darkrai: "What's a Tapu?"
  286. Hotaru Joy: "Alolan deified pokemon."
  287. Darkrai: "So...a legendary Pokemon?"
  288. Hotaru Joy: "Yup."
  289. Sarah: "Kinda meh to be honest? I know there's some crazy stuff out there, but I don't think it's pure worship for me. I honor the Tapus, but I don't fully worship."
  290. Darkrai: "How legendary are we talking? Like...Mew? Or like...Mewtwo? Or like, Moltres?"
  291. Sarah: "Uh... what's a Moltres?"
  292. Darkrai: "Legendary fiery bird of the elemental giant chicken trio."
  293. Ma-Nyeo: "Like Ho-oh. With shrines and things."
  294. Hotaru Joy: "Uh... I don't know, to be honest. Not strong enough to make the entire world care?"
  295. Darkrai: "Zapdos is the giant electric chicken. Moltres is the giant self-cooking chicken. And then there's articuno, the pretty ice chicken. Who dies to rocks."
  296. Deep Blue: "Mmmm, self-cooking chicken."
  297. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso, two out of three of those die to rocks."
  298. Darkrai: "Yes, but articuno doesn't make itself dinner for you."
  299. Hotaru Joy: "The other one only gets maimed by rocks."
  300. Darkrai: "So Moltres gets that special mention."
  301. Hotaru Joy: "No, Articuno just preserves itself for you to cook later."
  302. Sarah: "Oh well... it's a quad group of pokemon that represent and protect each of the islands that make up Alola. Each one have different takes on what they like in respect for them, but not crazy different. They're fairly honorable and willing to help out those that come to ask for their help. Though... they're rather flighty and most people never end up actually seeing them directly. You will definitely hear them in time, but seeing them is rare."
  303. Hotaru Joy: "Self-preserving chicken."
  304. Sarah: "So it kinda sounds like something along the lines of the tapus? Though a bit more like comparing Pecha, and Oran."
  305. Darkrai: "So they're like...those emotion legendaries then."
  306. Darkrai: "I don't like those jerks."
  307. Hotaru Joy: "I can't think of a single instance where the birds helped anyone."
  308. Darkrai: "Dwelling in lakes but instead of lakes, it's islands."
  309. Darkrai: "And instead of just living there like a bunch of turds, they 'protect it' but hate being seen. And enjoy instilling their values on the human population."
  310. Darkrai: "Hmhmhm! I like these Tapus."
  311. Sarah: "Well, they're more active than some of the legendaries I hear about over here. I think they appear to the island's big kahunas more than most others."
  312. Darkrai: "Let's find one so I can challenge to a test of elegance. And darkness."
  313. Sarah: "Well, one's eletric fairy, Psychic fairy, Grass fairy, and water fairy. All in all, bad match ups for you."
  314. Darkrai: "UGH! Fairy Types!"
  315. Darkrai: Darkrai looks to Tokidoki, "No offense. But I hate your Fairy Type too."
  316. Hotaru Joy: "But all this goes to kind of support what I was gonna say. Legendary pokemon aren't gods. They're mortal, they can be killed or stuffed in tiny little waiting room balls. Even Arceus isn't perfect, for all its creative ability. But if they aren't gods, then maybe there's something else out there that is deific in nature, not just in status. I found some stuff living in Mount Moon about that in a book Doropara showed me. The Legion-Matron is her proper title, the creator and guide that set all sentient life in the universe on its paths."
  317. DNA: ...Oh she's going to hate Pencil.
  318. Tokidoki: "dokokitokiko" Tokidoki shrugged.
  319. Darkrai: "Arceus isn't something I'd ever want to contend with though..."
  320. Darkrai: "I've fought its stupid mimic and that thing nearly killed me."
  321. Hotaru Joy: "There's the Eternal Father, the Legion Matron, the Mistress of the Loom, the Chapmion of Dominion, the Watcher in the Wake, and a couple others. I couldn't read all the names."
  322. Hotaru Joy: (( *champion ))
  323. Ma-Nyeo: Cunning Does Ma-Nyeo know of these things? 4+6+6+5=21 (STUNT! 4 Stunt Points)
  324. Darkrai: "Anyway! Since I'm an underling and have absolutely no say in our destinations..."
  325. Avara: dem dice rolls
  326. Sarah: "Personally I like Tapu Bulu most, but I'm biased because that's my island."
  327. Cassiopeia: "Isn't Tapu Bulu the one that's a bit of a loner?"
  328. Darkrai: "I suggest we either go north to Shoku so I can eat some Yamask for being assholes or go south into the sea and trudge along the seabed to Cinnabar."
  329. Darkrai: (( I dunno what any of those things are so...ava can answer that. ))
  330. Sarah: "Oh... huh. That's an interesting take on faith. And uh, they're kinda all loners."
  331. Cassiopeia: "Hm. I remember hearing stories about a few of the others that painted them more as sadists than loners."
  332. Sarah: "Anyway considering we can't really breath water, Northward might be a good idea. Training my new pokemon might be a good idea before we get to ghost territory."
  333. Avara: i was leaving it ambiguous how much people actually believe in any of those things so you could decide if you want to incorporate it, but mana rolls all the high dice
  334. Avara: could just be a madman's journal writings found by an impressionable and lonely lass, or the ruins of some weird cult in the mountain, or whatnot
  335. DNA: I have some...impressions about it, at least for now
  336. Darkrai: "Don't you humans have equipment for that kind of thing?"
  337. Darkrai: "Well, not that I'll complain about eating lying little Yamask."
  338. Ma-Nyeo: "Maybe we can get some, if there's enough reward money. Or contest money."
  339. Avara: kao, lmk how much you want to incorporate this into things and i'll respond to mana privately with the result?
  340. Darkrai: (( Up to you ))
  341. Avara: oookay
  342. Avara: bluh, can't multi-whisper without the macro.
  343. Darkrai: (( It's a faith you brought into it. My world already has its churches set up so I'm not going to change anything. ))
  344. Sarah: Sarah shrugs. "A job while we're going that way wouldn't hurt at all."
  345. Ma-Nyeo: "I'm worried about the people who are worried if we failed or not."
  346. Cassiopeia: "Perhaps we could tell them. And get some sleep while we're at it, because my is it late."
  347. Ma-Nyeo: "is it?" Ma-Nyeo looks up. "... I suppose it is."
  348. Darkrai: "What is time...to a legend?" Darkrai asks in a serious tone.
  349. Ma-Nyeo: "But you always showed up at the same time. It's how we knew how to find you."
  350. Cassiopeia: "I don't know, but evidently I'm no legend, because I had a 30-second nap a little while ago and it wasn't restful."
  351. Darkrai: "What, really?!"
  352. Sarah: "Well I don't know about you, but currently it's sleep time."
  353. Darkrai: "I just like it really dark." Darkrai folds her arms, "Aw bulbanuts..."
  354. Ma-Nyeo: "I like it dark too. But the others are diurnal."
  355. Avara: (( it's not letting me /whisper at all. ))
  356. Darkrai: "What? You guys like to be awake....when the sun's out?"
  357. DNA: no /whisper narrator words?
  358. Avara: okay i just can't whisper ma-nyeo
  359. Avara: rob, type something without impersonating for a sec
  360. Ma-Nyeo: test
  361. Avara: now it works
  362. Avara: done
  363. Sarah: "Yup. We don't have a natrual taste in noctounalism. Then again you could probably look by this sick tan that I wish was just purely from being out in the sun."
  364. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo takes care to lift Glade's sleeping body as she stands up.
  365. Darkrai: "I formally request you recall me during situations that have hideous, awful, terrible sunlight."
  366. Glade: "Mmmbblbemmm gonna eat your face oran berry...precious...smiley...face..."
  367. Sarah: Sarah will pick up Suzy. "That's fair considering you seem to be a critter of nightmares. Litterally."
  368. Hotaru Joy: "I'll try not to need you during daylight hours."
  369. Glade: Glade gently chews on Ma-Nyeo's hair.
  370. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo makes no protest, or show any sign that she notices at all.
  371. Hotaru Joy: "I think we're done talking about religious stuff though?"
  372. Darkrai: "Yep. I enjoyed the part about chickens and rocks."
  373. Deep Blue: "Mmm, rock chicken."
  374. Darkrai: Darkrai gasps, "We should discover one!"
  375. Hotaru Joy: "I know what I'm ordering you if we win a gym."
  376. Hotaru Joy: "Barbecue chicken."
  377. Darkrai: "Oh yeah, speaking of...I don't...'
  378. Darkrai: Darkrai ponders, "I don't remember what humans eat. I don't remember what I ate when I was human."
  379. Darkrai: "I...think it came in boxes. Made of thinly layered wood."
  380. Darkrai: "Do you humans eat wood?'
  381. Sarah: "Oh, well generally humans are omnivores. We can pretty much eat anything... uh, but wood."
  382. Hotaru Joy: "No, but we use wood to carry packages. Including thingss we do eat."
  383. Darkrai: "Oh. I see. That makes our journey pretty fun then." Darkrai says with a smile, "I'll keep an eye out for delicacies for you humans then."
  384. Hotaru Joy: "If I forgot to tell you my name earlier, Calypso, it's Hotaru of the Joy family."
  385. Calypso will now randomly spawn something edible for an omnivore every few hours.
  386. DNA: ...wait, seriously? Does she just generate food now?
  387. Avara: calypso randomly spawns a mewtwo
  388. Ma-Nyeo: "Do we head to the police station or the pokemon center? I think the pokemon center is where people were waiting."
  389. Darkrai: "Hotaru...? Can I call you Shiny?"
  390. Avara: still living
  391. Narrator: She'll randomyl spawn something edible for an omnivore every few hours.
  392. Hotaru Joy: "I certainly don't mind being called Shiny, but you're going to run into others of my family too. It's not always, but we tend to be in charge of healing places."
  393. Cassiopeia: "Center would probably be wisest, for right now."
  394. Sarah: "That might be the place to go to... though considering we have the perp on our side now, we might need to be careful how we present her if at all."
  395. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo is ready to be teleported to the center.
  396. Calypso: "Ah, should I not be present when you tell people?"
  397. Hotaru Joy: "Probably not right away."
  398. Calypso: "If someone decks me in the snoz I'm gonna drop a load of darkness into their mouth."
  399. Hotaru Joy: "You did kind of steal all their kids. And we don't want fighting now that we don't HAVE to fight."
  400. Calypso: "I like this plan."
  401. Calypso: "Okay miss Shiny, you can put me back into the ball."
  402. Calypso: Calypso poses for a recall.
  403. * Hotaru Joy recalls on point with the pose.
  404. Narrator: If people are ready for teleport, gather together.
  405. Ma-Nyeo: ((yep, there is an airport here))
  406. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo enters the pokemon center lobby! Unless she is rushed by someone she sits down on a couch and lets Glade rest in her lap again.
  407. Hotaru Joy: "Hello~?"
  408. Hotaru Joy: "Hello~?"
  409. Mother Suzuki: Mother Suzuki immediately stands when you enter, "You're back!"
  410. Nurse Joy: "Welcome back, Hotaru and friends. How was the hunt?"
  411. Ma-Nyeo: "I'm back~"
  412. Sarah: Sarah will strole in behind the excitable Ma, carrying suzy as well... though a little less carefully. Suzy looks like she could care less though.
  413. Hotaru Joy: "The kids in town are going to be safe, we have the culprit in a ball. Meaning your boy's going to be fine too, just need to wait for his gal pal to bring him home."
  414. * Cassiopeia did a slight bow of appreciation towards Suzuka. "Thank you. It was good hunting."
  415. Ma-Nyeo: "We were captured and thrown into the reverse world by a sexy darkrai who we defeated in battle and then returned."
  416. Hotaru Joy: "... Yes, I was going to get to that."
  417. Mother Suzuki: "You captured it?!"
  418. Hotaru Joy: "Yes."
  419. Nurse Joy: "You went into Reverse World?"
  420. Hotaru Joy: "Also yes."
  421. Pokémon Merchant: "It was a Darkrai?!"
  422. Hotaru Joy: "Sort of."
  423. Gary: "Exclamation points!"
  424. Ma-Nyeo: "With the spirits and rainbow lakes, yes."
  425. Hotaru Joy: "Thank you, Gary. Very helpful."
  426. Gary: "I try."
  427. * Cassiopeia makes a slight finger gun at Gary.
  428. Sarah: "Yeah, what the hell with the rainbowlakes and those green things?"
  429. Ma-Nyeo: "Spirits are the souls of people who died in the reverse world."
  430. Gary: "I haven't ever been to Reverse World myself but, I hear it's a reflection of our own though with more chaos and less gravity."
  431. Gary: "Though I've never heard of anyone dying there."
  432. Nurse Joy: "...Because they were too dead to share?"
  433. Gary: "...Okay, point made."
  434. DNA: Ha
  435. Hotaru Joy: "So someone's decided the cool hip new jam is 'experiment on humans to blur the line between humans and pokemon on a biological level'. And the reason that one kid in particular was being targeted was he's really compatible with the tests. The rest were taken because they were better than going back empty handed, and eventually you'd either give up the kid or run out of kids."
  436. Hotaru Joy: "And the people doing this are 'on an island somewhere off the coast of fuchsia'."
  437. Gary: "Come again?"
  438. * Hotaru Joy repeats herself.
  439. Nurse Joy: Nurse Joy sighs heavily, "You can't just inject Jenny or Joy into children! That's not how we work!"
  440. Mother Suzuki: "My son isn't...going to be mutated is he?"
  441. Hotaru Joy: "Nope, more than that. Promise you won't attack or scream."
  442. Hotaru Joy: "No, your boy wasn't caught."
  443. Sarah: "Uh, long story short from what we found out some folks on cinnimon island are getting turned into pokemon people hybrids? And the Darkrai was one of them."
  444. Gary: "Team Rocket is at it again?!"
  445. Cassiopeia: Cassiopeia had a bit of a sullen expression on her face at that mention. They never found the children - only the perpetrator.
  446. Nurse Joy: "I thought they disbanded. Twice."
  447. Hotaru Joy: "Not Team Rocket."
  448. Gary: "Someone's impersonating Team Rocket?!"
  449. Hotaru Joy: "Gary."
  450. Nurse Joy: "I thought that was Plasma."
  451. Hotaru Joy: "If you promise not to kill my Darkrai, I'll let her out to explain."
  452. Gary: "What? Plasma was...no nevermind. Go on, Hotary."
  453. Gary: "I promise not to murder your Darkrai."
  454. Nurse Joy: "I make no promise not to hug your Darkari."
  455. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso, if you can come out without affecting anyone in the building with your nightmare aura, come on out. We're past all the cops with their shooty guns and face punches. Also, free hugs."
  456. Pokémon Merchant: "I will take photos of your Darklord."
  457. Mother Suzuki: "I'm not...sure if i can..."
  458. Deep Blue: "I should probably record this conversation."
  459. Hotaru Joy: "Ma'am, your son is okay. I promise."
  460. Hotaru Joy: "And I have Calypso's ball. She can't hurt anyone."
  461. Mother Suzuki: Mother Suzuki will make an effort of restraint.
  462. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo steps over to Mother Suzuki and tries to assure her. "It's okay, it's all over now." Ma-Nyeo smiles unevenly.
  463. Hotaru Joy: "If you need anything or anyone to help make you feel safe, just lean on Tokidoki here. Steel/Fairy makes for a really good defense."
  464. Calypso: Calypso appears in a flash, "And the dark mistress appears!"
  465. Gary: "Uh..."
  466. Nurse Joy: "That's....uhm..."
  467. Hotaru Joy: "This is my Darkrai, Calypso. She did the things."
  468. Pokémon Merchant: Pokémon Merchant slowly holds up a camera.
  469. Sarah: "Oi! Calm down, we're kinda infront of the... folks here."
  470. Calypso: "It is I, your dark mistress. And it is true, I did the things. Did my things hurt you?"
  471. Mother Suzuki: Mother Suzuki glowers at Calypso.
  472. Hotaru Joy: "You were after the lady over there's son."
  473. Calypso: "Hm? Oh. Oh, you meant me doing actual kidnapping. I meant the-okay, I see where we are now. I have gotten on the page, so to speak."
  474. Gary: "G-Good..."
  475. Hotaru Joy: "Yeah."
  476. Hotaru Joy: "This is the part where we explain things so the former champion and the officers can make sure everything's on the up-and-up and nobody needs to get hurt. That sort of thing."
  477. Calypso: "Yes, I was trying to get your son in particular. I would offer an apology you could accept...but I know you won't!"
  478. Hotaru Joy: "Oh, by the way. My cousin, Suzu. She's pretty too."
  479. Calypso: Calypso looks at Suzuka, "Hello Shiny 2."
  480. Nurse Joy: "The fuck you call me?"
  481. Calypso: "Shiny number two."
  482. Hotaru Joy: "She calls us Shiny Humans."
  483. Sarah: "Yeah, apparently you're a shiny and our friend is one too?"
  484. Gary: "Can cut the tension in here with a knife..."
  485. Sarah: "And because I"m from alola, I'm an alternate human." She'll say with a shrug.
  486. Mother Suzuki: "Why my son? Why were you targeting him!?"
  487. Ma-Nyeo: "Is that what that is?" Ma-Nyeo looks around. Not used to tension that isn't directed at her.
  488. Calypso: "Because he's got dem genes. Like...dna genes not...denim jeans."
  489. Mother Suzuki: "That's all?!"
  490. Calypso: "Yep."
  491. Mother Suzuki: "You wanted him because of how he was born?"
  492. Calypso: "Yup."
  493. * Hotaru Joy prepares to recall if there's about to be a violence, but otherwise will let it play out.
  494. Mother Suzuki: "And that's supposed to make it okay?!"
  495. Calypso: "Yes."
  496. Hotaru Joy: "Not really."
  497. Mother Suzuki: "Well guess what, it's NOT okay. That's kidnapping! And what you're doing is all kinds of abuse if I'm understanding right!"
  498. Calypso: "I guess carrying someone through Reverse World could count as abuse..." Calypso says thinking to herself, "But I was really gentle."
  499. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso, your memories of human rules and stuff might be a bit faded, so I'll explain why not. Okay?"
  500. Calypso: "Oh! Sure. I'll just twiddle my thumbs while you use mouth words on humans."
  501. Gary: Gary studies Calypso carefully.
  502. Ma-Nyeo: "Calypso is a pokemon. Being stolen from her home and put under someone else's control because they have favorable genetics is normal for them."
  503. Calypso: Calypso, in fact, twiddles her thumbs with unusual focus.
  504. Cassiopeia: Cassiopeia sighs, a little exasperated and wondering who thought this was a good idea.
  505. Hotaru Joy: "Human younglings aren't able to give their consent to important things like 'going places with strangers' or 'getting poked with magic science' because their brains aren't developed enough to take responsibility of themselves. So the parents have that responsibility instead, and higher levels of maternal-paternal instinct to go with it."
  506. Hotaru Joy: "You kind of broke a lot of rules."
  507. Calypso: "Hm?" Calypso looks up, "Calypso feels as though something is directed at her."
  508. Mother Suzuki: "My son isn't a Pokemon and...that doesn't look like any Pokemon I've ever seen."
  509. Hotaru Joy: "I just finished explaining the things."
  510. Hotaru Joy: "Now to explain THAT side of things."
  511. Hotaru Joy: "No, your son isn't a pokemon. They aren't capturing pokemon, or else, funnily enough, nobody would have an issue with it. Because that is kind of how our society is built. But they want to make people into human-pokemon hybrids."
  512. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso used to be human."
  513. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo goes looking for scrap paper and something to write with.
  514. Hotaru Joy: "We're still lacking on motives or identity, and I'd really like to meet the people responsible myself and finish getting the kids back. But at this point, it sounds like detective work would help more than ball-slinging."
  515. Gary: "Indeed. Whoever is doing this I can't imagine has the common mans best interest in mind."
  516. Gary: "We're still recovering from near extinction level event and turning our already low number of humans into pokemon-hybrids isn't going to put things in our favor."
  517. Calypso: "How come?"
  518. Gary: "Do you recognize yourself as human?"
  519. Calypso: "No. Is that a problem?"
  520. Gary: "Not for you, no. But it is for humans."
  521. Calypso: "How come?"
  522. Hotaru Joy: "He's saying humanity as a culture and species is threatened with extinction, and humans care about that.
  523. Hotaru Joy: "Because survival instinct."
  524. Calypso: "Hmm...but if population numbers is what you care about...why do you humans keep going out into the wild and dying?"
  525. Gary: Gary grimaced at that sentence.
  526. Calypso: "I have a much higher rate of survival than I did as a human."
  527. Ma-Nyeo: "Hotaru... do you have a safira? I don't have any."
  528. Hotaru Joy: "If we don't try to expand our territory, we'll be entirely cut off from each others' territories, and human territories are co-dependent."
  529. Hotaru Joy: Hotaru passes Mana a Safira.
  530. Hotaru Joy: "Humans got where they did by mastering their regions and routes, not by settling cozy in clearings."
  531. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo goes to Suzuka, "I would like a private room please." She places the coin on the counter.
  532. Hotaru Joy: "The only way to survive now is to re-establish."
  533. Nurse Joy: Nurse Joy looks down at the coin and smiles, "I understand sweetheart. Go ahead."
  534. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo skips up to her private room and lays Glade in the bed. If she had succesfully found a paper and something to write with, she would write down (in pokemon) "Thank you for saving my life! I rented this room for you, so rest as much as you want. I will be staying in town to compete in a contest so please see me after I'm famous! ~Love Ma-Nyeo."
  535. Ma-Nyeo: She then returns downstairs.
  536. Hotaru Joy: "That's why Mana, Sarah, Cass and I are Trainers now. A test case for team survival, because people realized that pack instinct is how humans function and survive."
  537. Sarah: Sarah's here mainly just to explore, but she'll bite her tongue.
  538. Avara: is there a cunning for psychology, i wonder?
  539. Narrator: Not off-hand.
  540. Avara: anyway, i'm about done with my words-ing until a respond happens
  541. Calypso: "Well, as great as all that sounds...I like what I am. And denying this evolution from someone because 'oh-no-humans-are-endangered' isn't right either."
  542. Gary: "Forcing this on someone isn't right either."
  543. Hotaru Joy: "I think that's more or less summed up the issue right there, between the two of you."
  544. Calypso: "No, I'm pretty sure this isn't like an evolution stone for your Growlithe. I was given the choice. I'm sure the others were too."
  545. Gary: "Trainers who don't take their Pokemon's desires when it comes to evolution are despicable."
  546. Calypso: "Right? Good thing this isn't the case."
  547. Hotaru Joy: "That's why I want to talk to the people responsible first, not go in hyper beams blazing. I want to see exactly how they're handling things."
  548. Sarah: "Though kidnapping children is pretty sketch."
  549. Hotaru Joy: "Yeah."
  550. Boy 2: Boy 2 walks into the Pokemon Center.
  551. Hotaru Joy: "There's kind of... a lot of issues on every side of this. Words would be great."
  552. Mother Suzuki: Mother Suzuki glances at him, "ISAMU!!" Mother Suzuki rushes to him and lifts him up into her arms.
  553. Ma-Nyeo: "Hi little boy. You're out late."
  554. Calypso: "Ah. There's the special one."
  555. Hotaru Joy: "There you go. Yeah, see? He's alright. It's going to be okay, ma'am."
  556. Boy 2: "Hi mom. She said everything was okay now and I could home."
  557. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo rushes outside!
  558. Mother Suzuki: "You should've just stayed with me...I told you to never go off with strangers or strange Pokemon!"
  559. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo looks for any mysterious pokemon! 3+1+5+5=14
  560. Boy 2: "I listened. She isn't strange."
  561. * Hotaru Joy looks over to Calypso and shrugs.
  562. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo slowly returns into the center.
  563. Calypso: "Hm? This is my first time seeing him."
  564. Mother Suzuki: "Now that I know he's back in my arms...you should return all the other children you stole!"
  565. Cassiopeia: "...That's odd. If this is your first time seeing him, why did you call him 'the special one'? How would you know?"
  566. Calypso: "Mmm...not that I can do that though."
  567. Calypso: "Same reason I identified he's here. Same reason I know a Fairy Type or a shiny human. You guys just look different."
  568. Sarah: "That... is actually rather interesting. He has to be a type?"
  569. Hotaru Joy: "Right, that gets into the other other thing. So, she was using the reverse world for a transport route, but not under her own power. When I caught her, my ball glitched out. We think the device she used might be stuck in it."
  570. Calypso: "Yeah! My stuff!"
  571. Ma-Nyeo: Question! Was Calypso wearing clothes before? And if so, does she still have them?
  572. Gary: "Traversing Reverse World without using a Pokemon with the native capability for it is dangerous for a number of reasons. But you said there's technology that exists that can facilitate that power?"
  573. Calypso: Calypso is naked.
  574. Hotaru Joy: "Yeah."
  575. Hotaru Joy: "Stuck in this ball maybe."
  576. Hotaru Joy: "Want to see if you can get it out?"
  577. Gary: "...Is no one else getting Team Rocket vibes here?"
  578. Sarah: "Are you talking about rainbow rocket?"
  579. Nurse Joy: "Don't worry, Red will dismantle them again if they're back."
  580. Hotaru Joy: "They weren't wearing red Rs in Calypso's description."
  581. Ma-Nyeo: "I've never met Team Rocket."
  582. Gary: "...Why do you do this to me, Suzuka? Why taunt me?"
  583. Calypso: "They're not Team Rocket. I think."
  584. Avara: she's pitch flirting with you, buoy. fight back
  585. Ma-Nyeo: "Do team rockets have Overlords?"
  586. Calypso: Calypso ponders, "They were nice people. Though they had Mewtwo's...so...maybe?"
  587. Gary: "That sounds like...more than one Mewtwo."
  588. Calypso: "I added a s. I thought I did." Calypso looks up, "Yep. There's a s there."
  589. Gary: Gary also looks up, "...What're you talking about?"
  590. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso, dear, they can't see that."
  591. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo looks up. "...hehuehee..."
  592. Calypso: "What? But how do you..."
  593. Calypso: "You...you actually LISTEN to people when they talk? Oh gawd that's awful."
  594. Hotaru Joy: "It's a challenge we must bear."
  595. Gary: "...That's...that's talking. Isn't it?"
  596. Deep Blue: "It wasn't the S; it was the apostrophe..."
  597. Calypso: Calypso is too shocked to respond.
  598. Ma-Nyeo: "Only on this perspective plane. She's on an adjacent layer."
  599. Gary: "...Did I break her?"
  600. Nurse Joy: "I think she broke herself, dear."
  601. Hotaru Joy: "Don't worry, she's just realizing how fourth-dimensionally limited the world is. She'll be fine when she comes back."
  602. Sarah: "To be fari I"m confused as well...?"
  603. Hotaru Joy: "I kind of had a moment like that, when I was reading about the old gods on the summit of mount moon."
  604. Gary: "The Clefairy?"
  605. Hotaru Joy: "Pff. No."
  606. Hotaru Joy: "Pokemon aren't gods."
  607. Gary: "So, when a creation creates whole dimensions and all matter in it...it's not a god?"
  608. Nurse Joy: "I didn't peg you for a follower of Arceus."
  609. Gary: "I'm not, but it's generally a baseline for godliness among fanatics."
  610. Hotaru Joy: "When a 'creation' creates... but who created the creator? Is it creators all the way down? At what point do we stop being able to stuff creators into tiny balls?"
  611. Sarah: "Godliness? A person can become a god? Whot?"
  612. Gary: Gary points to Calypso, "At what point does that stop?"
  613. Sarah: "... Fair enough."
  614. Hotaru Joy: "Do you want me to make it stop?"
  615. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo considers sharing her insights on the nature of the universe. But decides she's enjoying this new "friends" thing.
  616. Sarah: "Oh! Yo, if we do go on the path of gods, dibs on being one!"
  617. Gary: "At what point do they break the limits of pokemon and humanity. They could want to become gods."
  618. Hotaru Joy: "Oh, that kind of stop."
  619. Hotaru Joy: "Yeah, that sounds like something people would want to investigate."
  620. Gary: "Apparently whoever 'they' are has the capability of venturing into another dimension, Reverse World. It's not even something intended for life, just something Giratina uses as an in-between. Imagine if they began to replicate certain mythilogical abilities. We'd have a real problem."
  621. Nurse Joy: "I wonder if this is how the people reacted to the first airplane."
  622. Hotaru Joy: "Heheheh."
  623. Gary: "How is this even remotely the same?"
  624. Hotaru Joy: "Scientists venturing into the realm of god. First the skies, then the stars, then the stem cells."
  625. Nurse Joy: "Discovery, innovation, new areas to explore, new possibilities and new problems that follow."
  626. Gary: "You support this?"
  627. Nurse Joy: "For selfish reasons, but yeah. Finally, I won't be called a Pokemon anymore."
  628. Gary: "That's...really dumb."
  629. Hotaru Joy: "Frankly, I want to find out the potential of it, I just want it done ethically."
  630. Nurse Joy: "I am? Or the people who couldn't see me as human?"
  631. Hotaru Joy: "This could have so many uses for people."
  632. Sarah: "I'll call myself... Ms. Fortune. Totally gonna go become a god of gambling." She'll say mentally wandering.
  633. Hotaru Joy: "Save lives, make connecting easier, so on, so forth.... Okay, being real?"
  634. Hotaru Joy: "I want to fly."
  635. Sarah: "Actually I'll take general merriment."
  636. Hotaru Joy: "I lived in a cave for most of my life. I want to FLY."
  637. Gary: "I'll be honest. I'm not against people choosing to become a Pokemon. Arceus knows everyone wanted to at least once and some people never stopped wanting to."
  638. Sarah: "That's... actually an od thought? Like joking about being a god aside."
  639. Gary: "But she's an example of what it's capable of. She didn't just become any old Pokemon, she became a Darkrai. A Darkrai is what turned a little kid into The Hero that nearly caused humanities extinction."
  640. Hotaru Joy: "Then we're in agreement? Find people doing it, investigate, use words, apply force only if/when necessary? Create ethics board or something to govern?"
  641. Hotaru Joy: "Because it sounds like someone on the scale of you or Red being aware of what they're doing and ready to smack them down would help stop that happening again."
  642. Hotaru Joy: "Pre-emptively."
  643. Hotaru Joy: "Or, you know. Us. When we catch up."
  644. Gary: "I can't help but view this as a statement of what they're capable of. If they can turn someone into a Darkrai...why not a Deoxys? Why not a Kyogre? Why not Arceus itself? Wild Pokemon with this power is one thing...but humanity? I don't trust us not to destroy ourselves."
  645. Ma-Nyeo: "But it was a human who nearly caused humanities extinction. Hehehe... you can harvest the powers of whatever gods you want... but it's humans..."
  646. Hotaru Joy: "Gary, the ability to do it has been proven. It's out there. Even if you cover up this one version, someone on the other side of the world is going to come up with the same thing. This is the big chance to catch it now and wrangle it BEFORE it gets out of hand."
  647. Ma-Nyeo: "Calypso is not human. Not anymore. She makes no claims to be. You've spoken long enough to see; the human is no longer there. Whose to say you can have the powers and the humanity needed to truly ravish the world?'"
  648. Gary: Gary was given pause in the conversation, "...'
  649. Hotaru Joy: "Control, not prohibition, is the way to win this fight."
  650. Nurse Joy: "I think they girls have it right. Contact Red, tell him what you learned. Let the girls investigate more."
  651. Ma-Nyeo: "Heehee... You might be right, Dr. Oak. This might be a terrible thing. It's kind of scary. But isn't that what makes it fun?"
  652. Gary: "Not many things frighten me."
  653. Gary: "Alright. But if you're going to do something like this you'll need..."
  654. Gary: Gary sighs, "A...a sponsor to back you up. Oh gawd..."
  655. Nurse Joy: Nurse Joy's eyes grow wide.
  656. Ma-Nyeo: "Ufufufu..."
  657. Gary: "If you'll allow me to, I'll take over your contract from Scion and officially become your sponsor in your endeavors with the world."
  658. Hotaru Joy: "I think, in regards to that, it might be best to get Scion in the room so we can all talk it out like adults."
  659. Hotaru Joy: "So we can know what their whole angle and deal was, and see what they're still willing to do."
  660. Gary: "I personally know your handler. Ms.King didn't hide that this was specifically orchestrated to get me to take the title of Professor."
  661. Hotaru Joy: "You're still picking yourself up off the ground, Gary. I don't want you picking up too much weight if it'll break you down again."
  662. Gary: "I highly doubt she'd deny me your contract when I tell her what it means by taking it."
  663. Hotaru Joy: "... also okay, maybe Nadia's kind of cute? And I want a way to contact her even if she's not our boss anymore."
  664. Sarah: "...Oh my."
  665. Gary: "Well, if you're unsure I'll go on ahead to Viridian. I'll talk over its possibility with King to let her know my intentions and she can discuss it with you when you reach it."
  666. Hotaru Joy: "Alright."
  667. Nurse Joy: "Oh gary, don't forget the meds.'
  668. Ma-Nyeo: "We need a way to contact you too. If we jump on a plane to look elsewhere instead of going north."
  669. Gary: "I'm not taking it to Irian. I already told you that."
  670. Nurse Joy: "Someone else can do that but you still need to mix it!"
  671. Gary: "You guys already have my number though."
  672. Hotaru Joy: "Wait, you need something taken to Irian?"
  673. Nurse Joy: "Yeah, Pokerus antibiotics. It's spreading in the Viridian lately."
  674. Hotaru Joy: "What does Pokerus do in humans? I'm told we tend to catch it more often than normals."
  675. Nurse Joy: "It's entirely beneficial for Pokemon..or used to be before they were everywhere."
  676. Nurse Joy: "But to humans its a virus. Gives flu-like symptoms but it lasts for a good while."
  677. Hotaru Joy: "Oh, that sounds awful.."
  678. Gary: "And like any virus, it weakens your immune system making you susceptible to other diseases."
  679. Mike is disconnected.
  680. Gary: "I'll mix it, but like I said, I'm not delivering it."
  681. Sarah: "Uh oh. We were told by our shadowy friend that our 'shiny' friend has it."
  682. Sarah: "Also nurse, apparently since you're shiny too you're also suseptable to it?"
  683. Hotaru Joy: "No I don't? She was saying I'm crazy because of my weird religion."
  684. DNA: (susceptible)
  685. Nurse Joy: "Supposedly."
  686. DNA: (English is fun sometimes)
  687. Sarah: (bleh yeah. -3-)
  688. Hotaru Joy: "But Pokerus doesn't make you crazy."
  689. Nurse Joy: "If you get it bad enough you can hallucinate from a high fever."
  690. Nurse Joy: "But on its own, no."
  691. Hotaru Joy: "... Yeah, I'm not bedridden and/or dead, gonna say I'm not fever-doping."
  692. Gary: Gary gathers the medical supplies and his own equipment, "I'm heading out." Gary pauses when he looks at Calypso, "And...take good care of that girl. She really seems like she needs your guidance and could easily stir trouble for her species. I don't think any of the parents she's affected here in Pallet will be in favor of her kind growing in population from their narrowed experience."
  693. Hotaru Joy: "Yeah, I'll be keeping a close eye on both the girls I picked up in town here. Thanks for being more open-minded than you really had to be, Gary.
  694. Ma-Nyeo: "So... don't use her in the contest tomorrow?"
  695. Sarah: "Probably for the best."
  696. Gary: Gary nods and exits the Center.
  697. Cassiopeia: "Given how most of Pallet knows the kidnapper as a 'Darkrai', I'd have to agree with that."
  698. Hotaru Joy: "Yeah, I'll be sticking with Tokidoki."
  699. Hotaru Joy: "Calypso here can get a view of what contest-ing entails, and see if she wants to join the next one."
  700. Ma-Nyeo: ((If that's all taken care of, should we jump to the next day?))
  701. Avara: hotaru will pay for herself to have a private room for herself, toki and calypso to work things out and stuff.
  702. Ma-Nyeo: ".... where do we get our rewards for the jobs?"
  703. Gary: (( Mean the morning? It's already the next day. : P ))
  704. Avara: ... oh yeah, that.
  705. Avara: reward.
  706. Avara: we sorta solved two hunts.
  707. Nurse Joy: "Ah, right. I'll forward it to you via your Pokedex's."
  708. Avara: ... oh my god Great Ball and Ultra Ball rewards!
  709. Sarah: Sarah will get her own room as well, to get aquainted with her new pokemon, and let them get aquianted right back, as well as with Suzy.
  710. Avara: hotaru is going to be aces with them.
  711. * Cassiopeia will be getting a room as well, for she is very tired.
  712. Your Pokedex dings noticiation and you're forwarded 30 safira, an Ultra Ball and a Great Ball.
  713. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo buys herself another private room. Since the first one is just for Glade.
  714. DNA: I could sell the Ultra Ball for smokes! Wait, wrong universe.
  715. Sarah: Heeeeel ye
  716. Ma-Nyeo: Ma-Nyeo attempts to sew a doll over the night.
  717. Ma-Nyeo: Strength (Crafting (Untrained)) 2+1+6+0=9
  718. Avara: you wasted all your good rolls finding out about hotaru's religion
  719. Avara: which i will forward you more info on when i've got it organized
  720. Avara: i wasn't expecting someone to call her out on her weird bullshit
  721. DNA: Ma-nyeo is more interested about religion and the outer gods anyway.
  722. Ma-Nyeo: Yah.
  723. Ma-Nyeo: Her religion is something along the lines of "The universe is an illusion woven by the unending script if infinite Unown." or some such nonsense.
  724. Avara: mana's?
  725. Avara: 'cause that's not hotaru's
  726. Ma-Nyeo: yeah
  727. Avara: okay
  728. Avara: so basically mana worships the game code
  729. DNA: No points for guessing what Cassiopeia's religion is
  730. Avara: is it mew?
  731. Avara: it's arceus.
  732. DNA: Devout, just like her brother.
  733. Avara: probably thinks hotaru's crazy, then
  734. DNA: Just a little.
  735. Grace: Lack of a better term, Agnostic. She knows there's gods andstuff, but she's yet to find the right one for her.
  736. Narrator: So, we ending here and starting the campaign in the morning?
  737. Narrator: And are you guys attending the contest?
  738. Avara: yeah and yeah
  739. Grace: ^
  740. DNA: But she already knew Hotaru was just a little crazy.
  741. DNA: Yes and yes again, to those questions.
  742. Narrator: Okay.
  743. Narrator: In that case!
  744. Ma-Nyeo: So: does Ma-Nyeo end up with anything due to the doll?
  745. Narrator: XP: +750
  746. Narrator: The crafting?
  747. DNA: 4150/4500
  748. Ma-Nyeo: (( It is unlike me to question massive exp gains. But did we get the quest exp last time? ))
  749. Ma-Nyeo: (( I'm wondering where it all came from this session ))
  750. DNA: I think we did, yes
  751. Avara: ouch. just 1 session away from level.
  752. DNA: We got a quest EXP last time
  753. Avara: or 2. depending on how slow we are maybe 3.
  754. DNA: If we only get 300 EXP next session I'll be very surprised
  755. Avara: gotta get that 450 to level
  756. Narrator: You've made progress on the doll. 1 more success succeeds it.
  757. DNA: We need 350 to level
  758. Avara: right
  759. Avara: i'm not supposed to math when i'm past my bedtime anyway
  760. Ma-Nyeo: And then I can get an actual crafting focus
  761. Narrator: Hehehe
  762. DNA: Yeah boy
  763. Ma-Nyeo: So I can make outfits
  764. Narrator: Crafting focus!
  765. Ma-Nyeo is disconnected.
  766. Grace is disconnected.
  767. Narrator: Saving campaign and log!
  768. Avara: hotaru catching darkrai is def. worthy of getting a relevant focus.
  769. Avara: ... at level 4. because primary stat.
  770. Avara: BLUH!
  771. Avara is disconnected.
  772. You have disconnected.
