hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go

Who: OPEN to EVERYONE who signed up to dig trenches!
Where: Olivine City!
When: anytime from the 23rd to the 25th of May
Summary: GRAB A SHOVEL AND GET TO IT.
Rating: We'll say PG for now? But I won't police it so BE CAREFUL, GUYS
Log:
The rain is endless and gray.

The buses and vans vomit their charges in various states of distress. After the long, winding ride to the dig site in the cramped vehicles, the air is cool, almost cold. Plastic ponchos are methodically handed out, along with an assortment of shovels, to the volunteers. Pokemon, except for water-types, are welcome to join the effort. The water is already surging up the beaches, crashing dangerously against Olivine's sea walls. Man-made coastal defence was never made to fight the magical rainstorm of two dozen angry Gyarados.

There is mud. The sand is mud, the roads are mud, the mud is mud, and while that makes the ground easier to dig, it's a pain to walk in. Hope you brought good boots, trainers, because it's pelting hard and there's no end in sight.


[ ooc: This is the mod-approved OFFICIAL trench-digging log! This is totally OPEN, So tag in with your character or thread around! Dig, rest at the pokecenter, ditch working and wander around town--the shifts are FOUR HOURS long, so try not to overexert yourselves! Have fun! ]

...yes I do.

[...he can't be mad at kids. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN HE IS IN A GOOD MOOD.]

...

Why are you even here in the first place?

I'm diggin' a trench!

[He holds it up, then points towards the water's edge.]

There's lotsa crazy stuff out there and the water's gonna flood the city, right? They said we can all help dig!

...oh.

[That's why he's here, but seeing a kid in this place, well.]

How long have you been here?

Huh? Oh, I just got here!

[He's thinking the trench, not Johto as a whole.]

[He was referring to the trench anyways so its cool.]

...don't over work yourself, you're going to spend 4 hours in here.

[Goes back to digging.]

I won't! You too, okay?

[He's a very hyperactive child. And with that he starts digging and getting mud everywhere like the little moron he is.]

[identity profile] swordofimpulse.livejournal.com 2011-05-27 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
...alright, then.

[And he's going to continue digging, at least in a more sedated pace than before.]
