HOENNWEEN: AFTERMATH LOG
Who: Hoennween Plot Participants!
Where: Tohjo Falls!
When: Friday, October 31
Summary: The bosses are defeated, the strife is over, the apocalypse has been averted. But things are still a bit of a disaster and some benign faces are arriving, so this is your chance to wind down, rest up, commiserate with others over everything that transpired, and breathe a little in general before it's time to go home again.
Rating: PG-13 in general; please mark threads that go higher accordingly!
Log:
YOU ARE HERE. IT LOOKS A LITTLE APOCALYPTIC. BUT THESE GUYS ARE HERE, AND SO IS THIS GUY.
NOW GO LEARN THE MAGIC OF YARN.
KEY:
• The GRAY, GREEN, and BLUE areas remain as they have all plot; these are the mountains, forest, and lake areas (respectively) that are now devoid of Team Aqua and Magma Grunts and currently form the natural boundaries of the map area you're in!
• The BROWN rectangle in the center of the map is still the Elite Four's Resort; because you did so well at fighting off the bosses and their legendaries, it escaped the conflict with minimal damage. For this log, that means it will also still be available to you as a bonus area map!
• The PINK triangle represents Shauna and Sina's private jet (or, well, someone's private jet, anyway), in which they just arrived from Kalos! Also, it sounds like they've got some kind of goodies for you in there, so you might want to stop by and have a chat with them to see what that's all about.
• RED stars on either sides of the map are approximate locations where you are most likely to be able to find and approach Arceus! Note that it can be sighted pretty much anywhere on the map as it walks around restoring things to some semblance of normal, but if you intend to approach it directly, it should be in one of these two areas. Attempting to catch or battle Arceus will result in a character immediately whiting out and being booted to the Blackthorn City Pokemon Center, and thereby suspended from participation in the remainder of the event.
A FEW OTHER SETTING NOTES:
• The Gen VI Pokemon that assisted you in the battle are still around somewhat, but they're largely leaving the area to head back down into the Johto/Kanto regions proper; they made good on the summons from their creator and have received its profound thanks for it, and now it's time to get back to the areas they've picked as their new habitats from here on out.
• FOR CHARACTERS WHO USED A HONEDGE LIKE A WEAPON DURING BATTLE:
This is also where we are asking you to experience some IC consequences! Namely, in exchange for picking up your Pokemon and rather unceremoniously winging it around by the head during battle, Arceus will be returning the favor by winging you around by the head a little at some point during the log! You're welcome to handwave this as you see fit, but we ask that you please accept this as the consequence of your choices!
• On a related note, if your character has mistreated one of their Pokemon lately and you would like them to suffer a llamagod-delivered consequence for it (for the purposes of development or what have you), feel free to let us know and we'll work something out with you!
• There is no restriction on how many of the NPCs you may talk to; feel free to interact with any and all of them!
• Maxie and Archie are not available on this log; they are, however, going to be taken into Shauna and Sina's custody and presumably deported back to Kalos to receive justice for...something or other, assuredly.
• You are welcome to thread out scenes occuring at any time during the aftermath events — waking up in the morning to Arceus, spotting Shauna and Sina arriving around noon, and experiencing the Sylveon Swarm in the afternoon are all fair game!
• At the end of the day you will be getting home the same way you initially came: via an Arceus-opened portal that will take you back to the location you left, with its thanks!
• EDIT: It's been brought to our attention that this was somewhat unclear — yes, you may make your own top-levels on this log! It is not solely for interacting with the NPCs, so please feel free to tag around and interact with others as you like!

☆ THREAD WITH ARCEUS ☆ THREAD WITH SHAUNA ☆ THREAD WITH SINA ☆
no subject
He may as well ask some questions he's been wanting an answer to for a long, long time. Grey the Reuniclus is floating by in the event that he actually needs a translator (even though he doubts it), so... time to see if he can grill the god llama for information
Best to start out polite and gentlemanly, then...]
Good morning, and thank you for your assistance back there --- really, I'm not sure what would have happened otherwise, but it's appreciated all the same.
...I understand you're busy, but I'm sure you wouldn't mind answering a question or two?
no subject
...That said, those manners are much appreciated. Treating Arceus kindly will go a long way here, and you seem to have the right idea and the proper approach, so...
Yes, very well. Carry on?]
no subject
...speaking of...]
Well, I'm not going to beat around the bush --- given that you're a god, you know that we're foreign to this world, and I'd be surprised if you weren't aware of our arrivals and departures and the circumstances surrounding them.
[He takes a deep breath, because this is Important.]
With that said... are you responsible for our presence in this world in the first place? And even if you aren't... is there a way to change the circumstances of our departures? I don't even care when I leave at this point, whether it's tomorrow or a decade from now... I just want to remember everything I've learned here when I do.
[Because it's integral that he doesn't just forget everything he knows when he leaves, because he knows what's in store and he can avoid it if he just has a plan in mind, and he can apologize to Sola for being so careless and neither of them will die, and perhaps they can just go home to England and it will be as if nothing ever happened...]
no subject
...Even so. It seems what you're getting at here is a hope of changing your future, isn't it?
Oh, human. As the one who even now carries out the task of setting to rights the things that have gone wrong, Arceus understands the place from which your desperation comes. And that's what makes it such a shame that it cannot give you an answer.
...
What it can do is sort of nudge at you a bit, indicating the surroundings as if to say, there's no telling what the future may hold, is there?
And, well, offer you a consolation prize, but it'll do that in a minute.]
no subject
[...it's better than an outright no, at least, but his demeanor still falters a bit. When a god doesn't know something, his own prospects of knowing it don't seem terribly bright...]
...well, I'm sure so long as I don't give up, an answer will present itself eventually.
no subject
...
That said, Arceus is regarding you steadily and carefully now, Kayneth; there are many things that must be kept from you, but there is at least one thing that need not.
...Come and walk with it awhile, and perhaps by the end you will feel better.]
no subject
...i mean, uh
he'll try not to look mildly down, and nod, he guesses. getting to take a morning stroll with god will probably sound really impressive if he tells people about it, so he will go ahead and take a walk with the god of all Pokemon.
His life has gotten so weird.]
no subject
Speaking of which, have you looked in your pack lately?
Today is a day for mending things, and it seems there was another casualty that did not deserve to suffer the misfortune it did at the hands of a destructive force it could not repel.
...Sorry about your coat, dignified human. Fortunately, that one's a much easier fix than the rest of your...everything.]
no subject
He hasn't noticed yet, because it's not particularly polite to go rifling through his pack when you're hanging out with a god... but you know, he does feel a little bit better. Enough that even though there's still that gloomy uncertainty hanging over him, he isn't really thinking about it now and is just... taking it all in.
It was a beautiful moment, and he really wished it didn't seem mildly disrespectful to just pull out his sketchpad... well, maybe. Were there prohibitions on graven images...?]
no subject
...This is the chance of a lifetime, Kayneth, you might never get this option again. Take the Tauros by the horns, as it were.]
no subject
he could ask, llama god has actually been kind of chill for a god]
...ah, you don't have any issue with your image being taken down, do you?
[...he's already starting to get his sketchpad out...]
no subject
...Given the way Arceus is cocking its head, it doesn't seem to have any sort of objection.
...
are you going to draw it like one of your kalosian girls or]
no subject
michelangelo eat your heart out, you never got to sit down and have God himself model for you]
