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!

[After... talking to llamagod, Tobias heads over to the... that is a lot of pink. But it's not for him, though his Pokemon do seem to be drawn in by the scent.]

Uh... hi. I... uh. I was talking to the... uh... whatever that really powerful Pokemon is. And I think he wants one of the snacks from here?

[If 'he' is even the right word. English, why are you failing him right now.]
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-11-01 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
You mean Arceus?

[ HEY-O, it looks like talking to one of the Kalosians about the mystery Pokemon isn't a bad idea. Shauna actually may or may not know a little bit of the lore, here. Wow.

Also that sure is a god-Pokemon over there, but Shauna is taking it pretty in stride. And the request gets a laugh, and a moment's pause as she loads up a plate with some select PokePuffs. ]


Sure thing! ♪ It'd be pretty bad hospitality not to give him some treats, right? I hear he helped you all out a lot! Besides, the PokePuffs are for everyone! Everyone who's a Pokemon, I mean.
wing_attack: (what)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-11-01 01:30 am (UTC)(link)
Is that his name? Yeah.

[...]

You brought a lot of stuff, huh.

[Thank you, Tobias. You are a keen master of the obvious.]
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-11-01 01:37 am (UTC)(link)
Yep! It's totally amazing, right?! I kind of want to go over, but...what do you even say to Arceus? Do you think he'd want to play Head It with me?

[ Also, she is holding out the plate to him now. ]

And yeah! The Professor sent us along with lots of goodies, but I set up the gift bags myself! ♪ Oh, but the Professor and the Kalos League gave me the stuff to put in them.
wing_attack: (uhh...)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-11-01 01:56 am (UTC)(link)
Well I said 'thank you'. I thought that was a good place to start. And you could always ask. He can always just say 'no'.

[He takes the plate and will head back over in a minute, but -]

Gift bags?
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-11-01 01:58 am (UTC)(link)
Hm, you're right! I'm totally gonna go ask him!

[ gg tobias, you encouraged her. And at the question...she will dig around in the crate beside her, coming up with a sparkly pink gift bag. There may be more glitter within, beware. ]

Yeah! One for every single one of you, put together by yours truly with donations from the Kalos League!

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-11-01 02:04 am (UTC)(link)
[Rachel moves forward to take it in her claws since Tobias has his hands full. He can't help but snicker at the image, since it looks sort of like something Rachel would have at home.]

Thanks. What else are you guys doing? I can't imagine you guys flew here from Kalos just for gift bags.
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-11-01 02:06 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, Sina's got the new Pokedexes to drop off at the centers! Since all of you didn't have the entries for the Kalos species, right? That's the main reason Professor Sycamore sent us out here. And, well, to have me teach you all how to Pokemon Amie!

[ The gift bags are just a swag bonus prize. Had you failed the check in, MAYBE YOU WOULDN'T GET THAT. ]
wing_attack: (what)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-11-01 03:09 am (UTC)(link)
... Pokemon Amie?

[That sounds French. He did not take French. He didn't take any foreign language, actually.]
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-11-03 06:51 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Shauna is super PokeFrench. ]

You know, how to make great friends with your Pokemon and raise their affection levels for you!
wing_attack: (unsure)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-11-03 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. I mean... I try to be friends with my Pokemon anyway...
pokestars: (shauna)

[personal profile] pokestars 2014-11-07 08:07 am (UTC)(link)
Which is good! But there's always ways to have even more fun, right?
wing_attack: (uhh...)

[personal profile] wing_attack 2014-11-07 05:35 pm (UTC)(link)
I guess? I only had a pet for a few years at home.

[And Dude was not the playful kind of cat.]
