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!

You've made a friend...

[Scar's voice is mild as he watches the spectacle from a small ways away. There might actually be a bit of amusement in his expression.]
soundmind: (Unsure ► I'd rather not okay)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-04 10:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[WHAT'S THAT?

FRIEND?

FRIEEEEND--]

[Sylveon seems to take this as an invitation to pull Maka to and practically throw her at Scar.]


...Ow.

[The Pokemon sits back and watches the two, eyes sparkling and ears twitching in excitement. She senses that Scar is in dire need of love and friendship, too!!]

Looks like I have.
envy_the_sinners: (wait what)

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2014-11-06 11:27 pm (UTC)(link)
A very enthusiastic friend.

[Just going to amend that statement. Scar reaches for Maka's shoulder to help her orientate herself when she's promptly hurled in his direction. He eyes the Pokémon with a skeptical frown.]

What does it want...?
soundmind: (Friend ► Are you doing this right now)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-07 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
I have no idea, but she's kinda...

["Freaking me out" goes unsaid, but it's still hanging in the air.]

Maybe she just wants to be sure I know where my friends ended up. She seems really good at finding people.

[Well yes but she also wants you to hug it out with your friends, Maka.]
envy_the_sinners: (You're talking like a Peanuts adult.)

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2014-11-08 03:27 am (UTC)(link)
Is she a Psychic type...?

[Scar crouches down to take a closer look at the friendly Pokémon, a decision he has a faint feeling he will immediately regret.]
soundmind: (Unsure ► Oh ah...okay...um.)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-08 08:37 pm (UTC)(link)
No, she's a Fairy--

[Big mistake.

FLESHBOWS.

GENTLY TOUCHING THE FACE.]


...Type. Um. I think she likes you.

[No, no, Maka, don't you see, it's all the torment and sad that's attracting her.]
envy_the_sinners: (...or anything)

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2014-11-09 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[Scar can only stare, deadpan as the Sylveon puts its... feelers all over his face. How does he make it stop.]

Is this normal?
soundmind: (Stare ► dad stop)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-10 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
I wouldn't know, she's not even really my Pokemon.

[Can't stop won't stop, she knows EXACTLY what the doctor is ordering for Scar--it's a heaping dose of AWKWARD that needs to be RESOLVED WITH LOVE.]
envy_the_sinners: (...or anything)

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2014-11-11 05:10 am (UTC)(link)
Well, did she do this to you?

[Scar is still interested in what, exactly, this Pokémon is, so he's tolerating the feelers. For now.]
soundmind: (Fluster ► Men are scum)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-12 08:28 am (UTC)(link)
No, she just grabbed me and dragged me along to throw into the nearest person. I'm lucky that it happened to be somebody I know, because otherwise...I think I'd die.
envy_the_sinners: (...or anything)

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2014-11-13 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
So she's completely mad.

[That is the logical conclusion, right?!?]
soundmind: (Unsure ► Cats don't dance)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-16 08:47 am (UTC)(link)
Mad?

[She looks down at the Sylveon, who's simply all smiles.]

She looks pretty happy to me?
envy_the_sinners: (It's Amestris' fault.)

[personal profile] envy_the_sinners 2014-11-23 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
[Scar manages to contain a roll of his eyes.]

Lost her mind.

[He clarifies.]
