ITT: We are all Pokémon Trainers

Kaisei: "...I mean, point, I did just have a conversation about that."

"But, really, that was a pretty Ever response."

"But I mean, last time I dealt with a large roaring thing I ended up saving someone who ended up becoming a member of my team and it turned out alright."

"Mostly."

Amber answered the door, <Heeeeeey! Welcome to the game night! Our gracious host and Gamemaster is just downstairs in the commissary as usual!>

She smiled at everyone, <So, ready to make him mad?>

Oblivion Wing

Phaz is here. Yay.

Phaz: "It's not the primary goal, but yeah, ready for the carefully laid plot to fail."

He has brought with him some Prongles and some Berry Best juice.

Hazard is also here.

Hazard: <Ready to have some fun and possibly do that, yeah.>

Oblivion Wing

Colt, present and accounted for, was lugging a 12-pack lemonade box on an illusory hand truck for everyone's consumption, as well as a few more boxes of other assorted sodas and drinks. Atop all the cans were some boxes of bags of tea. Just because.

"Let's see how many [Hendersons] it takes for him to break," he resolved. "Also, I solemnly swear I will not hide my dice rolls behind illusions," he addended, wheeling the beverages down behind everyone else.

-Gabe is here-

-He didn't even come through the door he's just... there-

"I hear this city's even bigger than Virbank...maybe, someone's gotta know something about all these pokemon acting out. I don't think it's normal for wingulls to dive bomb a ship, and what was with all those duckletts?" Mark then asked, following Hajime while taking no real interest in the flower shop he was visiting. Part of Mark wanted finally figure out what was causing all of these pokemon swarms, part of him wanted to further his career as a pokemon trainer by defeating the next gym leader...yet part of him that he was struggling to keep suppressed was starting to find the whole thing boring and wanted to take a break from the competitive scene at least for a while, without losing sight of his overall goal.

Hell the only reasons he wanted to even be involved with this investigation were because he wanted the opportunity to improve his mons, and also because he thought it'd be a nice change of pace for once, since everything he did the moment he arrived at Unova so far was to advance his standings and get closer to his goal of becoming the ultimate champion, yet there was this nagging feeling that was only getting more nuanced over time that there had to be something more to life...maybe.

-a plain cardboard box is airdropped to Amanita, Jimmy, Hae-Won, and Pentigan's locations via Swellow whenever/wherever is convenient, with a handwritten note stating:-

-Behind a mob of con-goers passing by, Channah is wearing a t-shirt with Clockwise the Noctowl on it and talking to Thierry, who's cosplaying as chibi-Salvador-

Channah: -looking askance at Thierry's Nice Hat- Do you have to?

Thierry: < rare indeed is the human who appreciates the intoxicating stench of death >

Channah: Yeah, for good reason.

Channah: -is sitting on a couch somewhere in the airship, petting the Basil strewn across her lap while texting-

 Stormchaser, past 

-Pauses for a couple seconds before texting back-

Ever: Of course it's an Ever response. I'm being in-character.

Anyway, collecting lifeforms isn't a good reason to go saving people.

Muninn: <This from you?>

Ever: I have to put up with you now, so...

-a few minutes later, she shows up at Tagg's door, or wherever he happens to be-

 Stormchaser, past 

-Opens the door-

...Hey.

Channah: Uh, hey. Alright if I come in, or...?

 Stormchaser, past 

...

-Says nothing and just opens the door to sit on the bed-

Channah: -follows him in to stand awkwardly in the middle of the room, hands shoved in her pockets- ...Er. So. Sorry for. Like. Agreeing to trade in your lives back there and stuff.

Kaisei: "...You have Munnin. You just answered him. Is he in character too?"

Hae-won sees the box.

Hae-won: "Huh, thanks, Swellow. Tell her it's fine!"

Akravator rips it open.

Hajime: "Well, we'll see if the Gym Leader or those Plasma remnants know anything, since I think those were the things that came up."

Ever: Anyone can put a Latios disguise on a Mimikyu. It would complete the cosplay, wouldn't it?

Muninn: <You're putting too much effort into this.>

 Stormchaser, past 

-Neutral expression, before softening-

Well, it's not the first time a friend tried to kill me, though a couple of times we weren't friends yet and the others were all evil Mindscape aspects.

-Sighs-

I'm still kinda hurt though, even if I do recognize you weren't exactly in your right mind.

Amber looks at everyone that's arrived so far and takes them down to the Commissary/Lounge.

Down there, is a massive table set up, with a holographic star map set up as well, <Benefits of living on a spaceship kinda thing is really cool technology!>

Silas isn't seen anywhere, though over on the couch in front of the large TV is a man who is hugging a Lucario, the Lucario seems displeased and is missing a arm.

<Oh no...> It says.

Amber chuckles a little, Tae's sitting at the Table laughing as well.

"Hey everyone, here for the game?" Hacks asks grinning, Silas starts to struggle.

<Arceus damn it Hacks! You know we had company coming over!>

"I know, I felt this would be a good way to start things off."

-inside the box are 7 deluxe PokéPuffs, some conspicuous crumbs, and a note written in huge, shaky letters-

Channah: Yeah, I get it. I... Dude caught me at a bad time. Is. Can I uh. Do anything to make up for it?

Jessica: "And...ready!"

-She steps out of the bathroom, clad in a, shall we say, flattering red bikini which accentuates her body...-

-And a pair of red Speedo goggles and solid red arm floaties.-

Shaun: "I...I want to laugh but at the same time you are rocking that bikini."

-Jessica pulls one of those pouty anime faces and places her hands on her hips.-

Jessica: "I am 120% cute and sexy, thank you."

Shaun: "Alright, let's go."

Jessica: "Why do you insist on wearing that shirt?"

Shaun: "What do you mean?"

Jessica: "I'm just saying, I could grate veggies on those abs."

-Shaun pauses.-

Shaun: "Fair enough. I am not wearing a [Speedo], though."

Jessica: "Not now..."

-Shaun blinks at her.-

Jessica: "Now, onward to the beach of Pyukumukus!"

-She jumps on his back, and Shaun piggybacks her out of the room.-

Kaisei: "I can clearly understand him. You *know* I can understand him. He thinks you're putting too much effort into this."

Akravator, thankfully, can read whatever language Vincent wrote that in.

Akravator: <Yay!>

He consumes one.

Hae-won: "Huh... glad to hear he's okay."

Hazard: <Heh, hey, Silas. You doing this as a Lucario?>

Oblivion Wing

Phaz: "Hey there Colt, two peeps I don't know about and... Man and Lu- Wait, no. Hacks and Silas. The game haven't even started and it's not like you wanted, huh?"

He grins and puts the Prongles and the Best Berry juice somewhere near the group.

"Wanna stay as a Lucario for that roleplay session? I don't think we would mind..."

Oblivion Wing

Colt waved hi to the both of them while stifling his laughter a little bit, considering if he wanted to give Silas pets just because he could. "I'd be fine either way. 'Mon or human running this, I don't care as long as they're experienced," he said. But it'd be so cute watching an angry Lucario trying to run a campaign, he considered as he reached for Stylus' head to give pets.

Behind his back, Rei grabbed all the drinks one-by-one and placed them in her 'ball, ready to be handed off to whoever asked for one. Amaterasu grabbed the tea and set some drink menus in her trainer's jacket.

"Remember to tip your servers!" the menus had written in bold at the bottom. He'd place them on the table when he got seated.

Ever: -sighs- You caught me.

-Ever flickers and vanishes, replaced by a Murkrow-

Merle: <I suppose it's just wrong to want to enjoy myself, huh?>

Muninn: <Wait where did Ever go>

Merle: -shrug-
