Log:

here's an outline of where Yang and her traveling group will be during the time period, with some prompt ideas. if you've got any questions or want to make plans hit me up via PM here or

simplypip but you don't HAVE TO before tagging in! alternately characters can call and make plans with Yang over here. (I enjoy writing starters, but I just didn't want to have half a dozen up before I knew what people might be interested in!)

4/18 : teleport in to Violet City; settle in to the inn
4/19 : catch an air show & check out local scenery w/some last minute training
4/20 : ~~blaze it~~ defeat Falkner for the Zephyr badge
4/21 -> 4/29 : Travel from Violet City to Azalea Town
4/30 : Challenge Bugsy for the Hive Badge (victory pending, but very likely)
5/1 : make network post; check out the jazz club
5/2 : ZIPLINE RIDING @ Ilex Treetop Adventure Park
5/4 -> 5/9 : travel from Azalea to Goldenrod City (travel time cut short by Glitch City event)
5/9 ~ 5/24 : back in Goldenrod, find work and finish training to challenge Whitney (other event stuff happening)

at the start of the trip she will be hanging around mainly Penny, Ruby, and Weiss, but by the trip from Azalea to Goldenrod she will have Ashley and Varric along on the road (and more additions are welcome or will be added later!)

(edit 5/8: changed some timing around due to Glitch City!)

Threaded | Flat

[It's later in the day when Ashley heads to the gym- or, well, heads back, as she's already had her gym challenge today, bright and early! But, she's kind of panicking when she returns, slipping inside with her Slyveon Arwen at her side.]

Ohhh I hope no one picked it up, they wouldn't, right? Right? Ohhh hell, stupid--!

[Arwen picks up the pace, prancing on ahead, to where the battles take place, ignoring Ashley's soft fretting about if they're allowed in there when they aren't battling. Ignoring...pretty much everything going on, frankly, and jumps over to a very full salmon-colored backpack. Silly trainer, very silly. She just grabs one of the straps in her mouth and...

drags, well, this'll take forever. Speaking of what's going on here. What're YOU up to, Yang?]

[I PUT A CATCHALL IN YOUR CATCHALL for Azalea/travel threads with Ashley! In which it's time to meet up with the RWPYs and then journey into the wild. Good luck trying to convince her to go to the zipline, because she will stay far away and Fight You if you try to drag her, but she'll lounge around outside writing when the weather's good, most days. When she's not working at the Pokémon Center, that is. Or in the hotel as night starts to fall.

And for travel, she's pretty nervous about Ilex Forest at first, but hey, it's actually a pretty nice place, so toward the latter days of the journey she'll actually be kind of relaxed!

...Until glitching hits on the 9th, then everything's weird. Pick your poison.]

[There's really only one inn in Violet that trainer's seem to visit, which makes chance meetings in the halls a fair bit easier then you'd expect.]

Hmm... That's the third one. Now, what else can I find on that channel...

[Rakka's day today was relatively light in training, taking a moment to just ignore the terrible call of the gym leader's badge in favor of another romcom marathon. Rakka's light fretting over the wellbeing of her pokemon buddies was an incentive. Maybe. Better to just let it slide and head back to her room for a bit more Pokeamie..... Huh?

Golden hair, or at least a very yellow blonde, as noticeable as a signal flame, even from down the hallway. And Rakka's positive she knows who that hair belongs to. It just needs... to click.]

Hey... [maybe a little louder] Uh, hey! Excuse me!

[Victory! That took a little more planning than Weiss thought, but she walks out of Bugsy's gym like she just owned the place. After a minute, she fishes some Pokepuffs out of her backpack, sitting down, letting her team out of their balls, and smiling.]

Good job, everyone! You fought hard in there. I'm proud of you!

[The pixelation and incessant glitchery, while unsettling for Reasons, is more familiarly annoying than anything else. The worst thing, more than wonky communications or accidentally walking all the way to Azalea when all he wanted was some fresh air and a training run, is what it's done to the BGM. Stuck with either spoopy 8-bit funeral marches or dead silence, can anyone really blame Dave for going a little stir-crazy?

He's currently sitting in the blocky hotel lobby, sitting on a similarly blocky, yet comfy, sofa and staring with intent on the blocky bowl in front of him. From a blocky bottle, he pours a cube of water into the square bowl, then pokes the surface. He pulls his finger out quickly and shakes it off.]

Man, what the fuck.

[His next experiment is to pour enough water so that it overflows, which it does in scattered, tiny droplet-blocks across the table, making him grin with complete incredulity.]

What the fuck, I want to shit this all up with JPEG artifacts so bad.
