September 28 — HONEDGE

Kanto Location: Lavender Town


[IMPORTANT REMINDER: THERE WILL BE EARTH TREMORS ON THIS DATE]

[armoredsoul]

Um, does anyone want a sword?

[Al is fairly well surrounded by the things, all making much more rattling than is strictly necessary, thankyouverymuch! Jeez, what is with these guys? The pumpkin things weren't nearly this bad...]

[Al manages to catch one in his arms and strokes the sheath part, which seems to calm the Honedge somewhat.] They're all nervous about something, but I can't tell what...and for the record, don't touch the sash part. I've already been swatted by them three times for that.

[in_praetego]

I think they like you... but I wouldn't mind taking one off your hands for you.

[ A frown though. ]

I don't think the nervousness is just the swords though... some of mine have been a little more on edge than usual.

[awesmazings]

[...Those are so cool and Jimmy is the last person who should be getting one.

But nobody is here to stop him.

He's getting one.]

I'll take one! Those guys look so neat! I don't think I've ever seen a Pokemon that looks like a sword before.

[ajustcaws]

...holy Pokeblocks, are those sword Pokemon?

I want one! Like, a lot!

[pipers_son]

There was an earthquake, 'least where we've been. Maybe it gets 'em all rattled up- some a the birds a while back were the same.

Either way, I'd be glad ta take one for a good cause! Any of 'em look particularly scratched up?

[I am very late, but could Al toss one Emmy's way?]

[bookslap]

{oh my god, yes.}

I'll take as many as you want to give me. {Her eyes may be gleaming in a slightly alarming manner.}

[paladinlost]

Has its own post because Cecil will talk at you about swords for a hundred comments if you let him.

September 29 — AMAURA

Johto Location: Mahogany Town

Kanto Location: Cerulean City

So, flying in the middle of a Thunder Storm was a stupid idea, but the good news is, we found more of those new Pokémon. Well, they found us, anyway.

[He turns the camera to show several Amauras huddled under one of the beds. A more curious specimen toddles up to a window, only for a flash of lightning to send it scrambling back from whence it came.]

I'm willing to ship these guys out if anyone wants them. Just try not to put them too close to water. These guys freak whenever I turn on the faucet.

[defyingfrigidity]

[... Oh. Oh no. Oh no they're adorable. Elsa's been focused more on helping her sister find a bunch of cute pokemon, so nothing's really caught her eyes since those little icicles that Riku sent her.... but oh gosh. Those little creatures are tugging at her heart hard.]

I know I've asked for your help with these swarms before, but could I perhaps ask once again?

[paladinlost]

...The poor things look terrified.

[And pretty. Therefore, pretty terrified.]

Is it the sort of fear that comes from their personality, or from a potential type weakness?

[wing_attack]

[Oh no. It's a sauropod and he can't resist.]

I'll take one. I don't usually stay indoors so I don't think faucets will be a problem.

OOC

[throw_stone]

May Ramza have one? (Don't wanna start another IC thread right now, haha.)

[sincereheart]

[ PRETTY BABY DINOSAURS.

It would be impossible for any young child who likes cute things to resist that siren call. And so here's Mimi, irrepressible as ever. ]

Oh, they're so cute! Riku-san, can I have one? Can I can I can I? [ She is literally bouncing up and down as she talks. ]

[pipers_son]

[Hey Riku, can you guess what this guy is going to ask for if the sparkle in his eyes is any indication?]

[armoredsoul]

I'll take one. Is it just the thunder that has them scared, or something else, do you think?

ooc

[heartofmetal]

Asking one for Ed, please~

[neededlassie]

[...WELL WITH A DESCRIPTION LIKE THAT...]

They look so scared! Poor things...

Could, uh, could you send me one?

[babel_hacker]

[It's raining heavily when the camera turns on to see a bunch of Amauras near the Pokemon Center's entrance.]

There's a bunch of these guys near Cerulean's Pokemon Center. There might be more around the city, but I'll stick to these guys for the moment.

[Flash. The lightning quickly cracks in the air and startles the creatures, causing some of the sail-like structure on their heads to turn blue.]

Huh, maybe that's tied to their mood...? Anyway! I can catch one for you guys, so just gimme your name and I'll write it down.

OOC

[unkinder]

[Could Nagi get one, please?

This nerd can't just ask, I swear]

September 30 — TYRUNT

[Fun fact: Carmen Sandiego really likes dinosaurs. However, her love for dinosaurs is still mildly eclipsed by her typical policy of not putting video of her face on the network, so she's splitting the difference instead by offering up a short video (almost a Vine, really) of a whole pack of the little guys in action, accompanied shortly thereafter by a text.]

[2:15 PM] I'm sure I'm not the only one who's always wanted my own dinosaur; if you're interested in giving one a good home, I'll see if I can't oblige.

[2:16 PM] Though, in the interest of caveat emptor: they might Cretaceous a fair amount of havoc, if left unsupervised.

[2:18 PM] Tyrannosaurus Rex, after all.

[2:18 PM] He leaves it to someone else to clean up his mess. :)

[theotherother]

So we've got dinosaurs over here in Pewter, and they're actually pretty cool.

[Even a grump like him can appreciate how neat tiny T-Rexes are.

Well, to be honest, he probably wouldn't be appreciating them if they were rampaging, but he hasn't seen that side of them yet.]

If you want one, let me know. Just don't try to start Jurassic Park with it or anything like that.
