it all comes down to this

Who: Johan, Kaito, Konata, Heather, Rika, Beat; eventually Kay
Where: Tarantulas' Former Lair/Cave of ~~Wonder~~ ~~Torture~~ Kay Keeping
When: Wednesday, August 25th; Evening
Summary: RESCUE TEAM GO!
Rating: PG-13! There will be violence (albeit of the wild Pokemon variety, at least we hope that's all there will be) and Kay will be fresh from being tortured once our heroes meet up with her - needless to say just mentioning what went down deserves the raiting.
Log: Johan couldn't believe it-- What were the chances that she would have been right under their noses the entire time? That the kidnapper hadn't taken her away after the crystals had all vanished, along with the Unown? ... He supposed the chances were a lot higher than he was giving them credit for, but right then, he didn't want to think about them. He had more imporant things to think about.

He wanted to rush in there and get her right now. If Asuka hadn't warned him, hadn't told him he was acting dangerously similar to how Juudai had been acting when he himself had vanished-- And if he didn't have just a bit more common sense than his friend had had at that point, then he probably would have gone in there. But he hadn't. Instead, he'd had Jet, his Drifloon, and Misola, his Noctowl, scout out the surrounding area, along with Jam, who had found the place to begin with. He'd gone in with Garnet, his Ampharos, just a few steps in, and he'd gotten jumped by a good five angry and confused Pokemon-- Pokemon from the nearby route, outside of the Ruins of Alph.

And it looked like there were a lot more in there past them.

Johan glanced at his PokeGear, checking the time. It didn't matter whether or not if everyone, or ANYONE, was here - he wouldn't be able to keep still for much longer. Kay was in there, he knew that, and here he was, standing here waiting for reinforcements. He could only wait so long. Oh, he'd get her back, of that, he had no doubts. Even if it killed him, before the night ended, she would be in her bed again.

((OOC: Here's how this is going to work! We'll have the main thread going down in an action log, which I'll start in a new comment, and then we'll have a secondary thread, one I'll also start, which will take place before that one, during the time period before they enter but after Johan sent out the "distress call" over the network, which I'll be posting in just a few moments. THAT thread will be done like a regular network post, and everyone can tag each other and tag however they want - they can get to know each other, talk about Kay, the "mission", all of that stuff. If anyone has any questions, just drop 'em over on the OOC post and hopefully I'll be able to answer them. Now let's go rescue Kay! ... Oh and, not sure if it was clear, but to make it so, tagging order for the rescue thread will be: Johan, Kaito, Konata, Heather, Rika, Beat, Johan, Kaito, etc. We'll put Kay in where appropriate when the time comes.))

_{[She took the bottle gratefully. Leisurely strolling down the road to the next town was one thing, but charging all over the place turning over every stone (okay, well, that was a BIT of an exaggeration) was another. She was just a little winded, though.]}

Thanks... nice place to take kidnapped kids. Quaint. _{[It probably doesn't even need to be stated that she said this with a wry, not-terribly-mirthful tone.]

[Taking a swig of the water and then pouring a little into her cupped hand to splash over the back of her neck, she looked into the cave dubiously. It was easy to stay hopeful while searching, but now that they were confronted with this... it was easy to tell by Heather's expression that she was worried they might find the worst.]}

D'you know how many others are coming?

Edited 2010-08-23 21:40 (UTC)

[Beat's curious about that too. If they hadn't communicated solely by text, he'd be surprised to see Heather here, but as it were he has no idea.]

Yeah, who we waitin' for?

_{[Likewise! Oh man, wait till she figures out she and the Rick-Roller wound up being busy trying to help the same person? Bricks will be shat. ... Okay, no, not really, but she will be pretty amused. That is, after this whole thing is over...]

[She cracks her knuckles and stretches her arms over her head.]}

I know Kaito's coming... but I'm not sure who else is still in the area...

[after more people show up]

Dang, I don't know anyone here. What kinda pokemon does everyone have?

[not that he really is thinking enough to plot around who has what, but he at least knows to keep G-Dawg behind the water types while they're in a narrow tunnel...]

Well...

_{[Heather points to her Deathweasel Furret. Unfortunately, that's the most firepower she's got... because she's not planning on letting Cujo out and potentially blowing their cover... if they'll HAVE any cover.]}

[Beat's there. So no, probably not any cover.]

Huh. Least it's big.

[which reminds him, he needs to let G-Dawg out and brief him a bit :|a]

I got this guy!

[and shazam, it's a houndour]

She's sorta like a python with fur. And legs.

_{[It's hard for her to hold back a 'yeeg' noise at the sight of the Houndour, but she does. Ughghgh devil dog do not want.]}

Well, he certainly looks like he'll come in handy.

Hell yeah! G-Dawg's the man!

[does the nickname make him less threatening, Heather]

_{[.... Yes. Yes it does actually.]}

I'm pretty confident that between all of us, we can handle whatever the hell's in that cave.

Seriously.

Team Rocket can bring it.

Damn straight! We a full house now, yo!

[actually with Rika they're more than that, since Poker hands have five cards. But whateva it's not like he actually knows how to play that game.]

Fuck YEAH!

_{[Heather doesn't actually know how to play Poker either, so.... HEY. NOTHIN' WRONG WITH A SLIGHTLY-FLAWED METAPHOR.]}

[THEY CAN'T READ OUR POKERFACE, SO IT'S ALL GOOD.]

HELL yeah!

But what we really dealin' is DA HURT.

I just noticed Johan called you "Heater" in his journal post. XD

oh god I've made that typo on occasion. The mental images are usually fairly hilarious.

-- No one in particular. Just whoever can make it in... [Johan glances at his PokeGear] A few more minutes, and then we'll head in.

Tsk, fine...

I know. I want to go in now too.

Not for sure. I'm not going to keep us waiting much longer, but I'm sure at least kaito will be here.

_{[She nods at that. She's already seen how determined Kaito is.]}

I think the only thing that'd stop HIM from showing up is if he'd been kidnapped, himself.

... Yeah. [nods at that. as far as Johan's concerned, he'd make it here even if he was dead.] I can understand how he feels.

_{[Undead Kaito was what every rescue op needed.]}

Yeah.

... She's really lucky to have friends like you two.

[HAHA-- Actually meant Johan there, but Kaito probably feels the same.]

You too. You're here, aren't you?

_{[Undead Kaito AND Johan, then! Zombies just made everything better.]}

Heh... I don't know her as well as you guys. But hey, I like to do what I can.

She and I did some rescue work of our own during that flood, y'know... And I don't believe in letting rescue buddies get kidnapped without doing something about it.

-- Rescue work? [he smiles a little at that. that sounds like Kay.] That sounds like a good way to go about things.

_{[This whole situation is not something Heather thinks is worthy of joking about, but her philosophy was that laughter was the best medicine, and the story still makes her chuckle to think about.]}

Oh yeah. Fishing children out of the flood, captaining the most epic rescue craft ever known to mankind... The whole shebang. _{[We're talkin' epic rescue, here, guys.]}

I couldn't just NOT try and help out the person who I did that with. Y'know?

Edited 2010-08-24 01:04 (UTC)

I understand. [his smile widens a bit more-- he can almost picture it.] Definitely.

_{[Sometime, when Kay was safe and sound, everyone was well-rested and fed, and there was no sense of impending doom, Heather would have to share the story in more detail. Because it was one worth telling, and she was darn proud of it. But later.]}

So yeah.

Whatever's got its hands on her... I don't care what their reasons are, I'm more than happy to punch them in the friggin' face.
