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!

[Ugh. She's stammering out apologies in unison with him, far before she even realizes it's Yukio.

When Maka does realize it's him, though, she's not embarrassed, just...concerned. What is that look on his face? Luckily, the Sylveon let go and skips over to Maka's side where she sits, looking pleased with herself. Perfect match~

Oh no, no it's not.]


...Are you okay?
in_praetego: ([;;;] Gonna start it over)

[personal profile] in_praetego 2014-11-03 05:43 am (UTC)(link)
[ Sob this is normally the time when he'd make some sort of lame excuse but unfortunately, Rin and his gerbils are nowhere to be seen. Meanwhile, Airi's waddled over with Yukio's stuff and settles herself down beside her new friend. One flipper goes up as if to ask for a high-five because good going you.

The boy meanwhile is rubbing his wrists when that Sylveon lets go. ]


I... I'm fine.

[ Though he's calmed down, he's still trying to choke down the fact his ears have gone red.

Airi giggling at that is not making it better. ]


Sorry. Looks like that Sylveon's got some ideas.
soundmind: (Unsure ► Oh ah...okay...um.)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-03 06:05 am (UTC)(link)
...I wouldn't know.

[Ideas like what.]

That's not even my Sylveon, it just came out of nowhere and grabbed me.

[Hell yes my pink sister in wuv, high to the five. There's a reason Arceus chose this Sylveon, she's very good at picking out and sensing relationships, how much HAPPINESS~ they bring and, of course, eternal dedication to the agenda of love.

Unfortunately that thing she sensed as potential between the two wasn't romantic love, it's the friendship that's already there, potential familial affection.]


I guess she wanted to be sure I knew where my friends were.

[SURE, MAKA...]
in_praetego: ([..?] Gonna start it over)

[personal profile] in_praetego 2014-11-03 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
That's an assuring thought, at least.

[ He'll just glance over at the two conspirators though. Airi's oblivious to her trainer as she decides the best way to celebrate this new friendship is by splitting a pokepuff!

Here's to making sure her trainer is never alone, sister of the travelling pink.]


But I'm glad to see you're okay, at any rate... looks like your pokemon are fine, too. Though... I'm wondering if that Sylveon's chosen you from out of the crowd. Looks like she's getting friendly with Airi.

soundmind: (Friend ► What?)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-03 07:11 am (UTC)(link)
Chose me? I can't imagine any--

[Wait. Stop right there. This line of thinking caused Rin to yell at her last time. Maka sort of narrows her eyes at Yukio for a few seconds, mouth twisting into an awkward expression as though she really wants to finish her statement but just can't.]

...I mean...I'm not usually someone that's picked. But...it's uncanny, isn't it? I wonder if they happen to have something in common.

[Maka the something in common is LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP, come on.]

[ There's a small frown at that. He's really not the type who goes on hot blooded speeches like that. That's for his brother to do. That and he has enough issues of his own to start ragging on people. His own smile is awkward enough but... he means well.]

It's pretty uncanny... but then these Sylveon came out of nowhere so nothing should surprise me at this point.

[ And a glance over at Airi and her new buddy. ]

Are you going to keep her?
soundmind: (Awkward ► Uhh...haha okay?)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-04 09:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Aha, well, if she picked me, I can't exactly say that I'm going to ditch her here, can I?

[Being ditched isn't nice.]

I guess not.

[ Yeah, that pokemon just probably means well. ]

It seems pretty sweet so... I don't think you'll have any problems training it.
soundmind: (Unsure ► I'd rather not okay)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-07 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It's not really training her I'm worried about, I'm just wondering if she's going to keep up this habit of throwing me at people.
in_praetego: ([?] A new beginning)

[personal profile] in_praetego 2014-11-10 04:33 pm (UTC)(link)
Maybe she just wants to make sure you have friends?

[ A matchmaking pokemon. Who knew? ]

soundmind: (Facepalm ► My friends are dumb)

[personal profile] soundmind 2014-11-12 08:30 am (UTC)(link)
[Sylveon replies to this with an emphatic yip! Which translates to "LOVE~!"]

I have plenty of friends, no sense in causing trouble like this.
in_praetego: ([?] A new beginning)

[personal profile] in_praetego 2014-11-13 01:55 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Oh, he feels you there. That "yip" seems Airi approved though as she's swaying most gleefully beside her new bff which just elicits a sigh from her trainer. ]

They mean well, I guess... even if their methods are a little misplaced.
