Eggterparty

[hyruglyphics]

[ So like, that was all something, right? A confrontation with the souls of the damned, and then a battle with a former gym leader, and finally, a meeting with a god. Even as they plan to leave, the sky is dark with storm clouds. The day seems to conspire to create barriers for the group. But even so, to many it may seem as if the evening is a hopeful one.

One of the lake guardians has been restored and the group has completed - after a month - the initial task that Cynthia gave them. They found one of the gym leaders, and learned there were those who fought for this world (even if they did lose) and still can be broken free from the control. All in all, it's mixed, but the mood isn't necessarily unpleasant, despite the rolls of thunder overhead.

However, said rain and thunder does mean it ends up seeming more sound to camp here in the cave. It's not necessarily comfortable, but there are those those who can pitch a tent or two and others who can make fires. Some people might have food provisions, or are able to make more for the group with their existing supplies or forage.

Though that said, the most remarkable thing of the night is obviously going to be that strange pulse of ... something which comes over everyone. And then, of course, the sounds of these eggs hatching . . . ]

Maybe it's the same as how Maylene had just Fighting-types. Some people just go well with one thing.

[eudaimonikos]

Oh - yes, I guess so.

[He didn't seem to notice Ventus approaching at first, but he'll shift his things and his leopard a little so he can join him here, if he wants.]

Weather doesn't just happen, where I'm from. All the rain I've ever seen, I made myself. It's...interesting to watch.

[niceoppai]

Yeah... Hope this at least means we can bond with them easier. It's so sad watching this, isn't it?

[radiantflame]

[Morag has a lot to think about.

She stays on the edge of the group, preferring to watch the rain. She can't get the image of the injured Azelf out of her head, and her imagination fills in the blanks as to how it got those injuries. The list of atrocities Galactic has committed is long in her mind, but this one hit her especially hard. The Empire committed similar unsavory acts in the name of preserving the nation, and she had been party to many of them. And despite it all, Mor Ardain is still dying.

She started this journey with the objective of stopping Team Galactic from doing to her world what they had done to this one, but the longer she's here, the less she's sure that she'll even have a home to return to. But she has to fight for the Empire's sake. It's her duty.

The egg hatches with little fanfare, and Morag finds herself with a very fluffy new companion. Torchic is the one that learns the hard way not to touch a Mareep's wool, since her attempt at nuzzling up to it ends with a brief static shock.]

[You know, while most people might find it a little threatening, Bucky looks thrilled.]

That looks like a dinosaur!

[bloodspent]

[Oh... Huh.]

Yeah, maybe. I know Lobanja's Fire and Dark - don't know about these guys, though.

[Spoilers: Dark-types. The running theme is Dark-types.]

dinner

[discutio]

[Ignis didn't really seem entirely like himself; not to the point that Chitanda and the others had, but it was clear he was off his game. Luckily, the sound of cooking preparations were unmistakable as well as easy to focus on.]

...Do you want help with that?

Walls

[anythingforyou]

[Hello non-judgement friend, you...seem pretty goddamn lost. God, everyone seems varying levels of out of it, but she's going to walk over to him in making some apparent rounds in this cave.]

Jake? [She calls out mostly to try and get his attention.] You a million miles away. Are you quite alright?

[ventulus]

...How do you guys solve problems? Is it by a different kind of fighting?

[ Ventus is no stranger to solving problems by fighting. After all, being a Keyblade Wielder means that you have to sometimes go rushing into situations, shooting first and asking questions later.

Granted, most of the enemies he fought weren't very talkative either, considering. ]

[eudaimonikos]

Doing okay back here?

[Michael's just doing his usual headcount, really, and Ignis wasn't super helping by hiding off to the side behind a rock.]

egg

[semistableman]

[Jake... that isn't very nice. Fortunately, Bucky just looks incredibly charmed by the weird crocodile lizard.]

It looks like it's wearing a bandit mask.

[niceoppai]

Yeah, it'd be better if we had information on the less common Pokémon around here, huh? Though at least we're figuring some out.

[bloodspent]

[...Oh, hey Camilla. He doesn't seem startled, exactly, but he is pulled out of his thoughts pretty solidly.]

...Hey. Yeah, I'm doing okay. You?

[discutio]

Just...just a headache. I'll be fine.

[bloodspent]

I guess I could just try setting them against different things and seeing what works.

[discutio]

...I think that's a good thing, too. I'd rather not hurt what amounts to innocent bystanders if it can be helped.

[anythingforyou]

[She'll likely just stay stood up, then, though she looks at the Geodude with a bit of intrigue. That is different...]

...Did it grow hair? I think that's what sticks out the most about it, that it seems to be growing a set of hair...

[...She looks amused? God.]

[bloodspent]

[It's a cute little motherfucker, isn't it.]

Guess this place has decided I need a niche, and that niche is going to be "lizards with clothes."

[anythingforyou]

Ground seems like a good guess...they look rather similar to Arion, as well. Perhaps they're a dark type like he seems to be...?

[hyruglyphics]

Yes! And the coloration is a little lighter than most of the others, but the... well, I do not know if it is "hair," If you touch them, you'll find some sand particles come off.

[ Well, iron sand, anyway ]

[niceoppai]

Yeah, probably. We should be training a lot more, anyway, with how bad Zel and Kayneth got beaten.

[ventulus]

[ He does want to, so he'll settle in and make himself comfy when he does! \o/ \

Woah, I didn't know you could make rain. That's pretty cool.

[ Honestly, it's nice to see some rain after awhile of there being not so much of it. ]

But yeah, I think it is too. It's also kind of peaceful to listen to sometimes.

[anythingforyou]

A vision...

[Ohhhh boy, that's not a good thing, now is it. No, it seems. Kind of concerning? Especially if it's connected to why he's acted so weird in the past, maybe...]

You do not have to go further into...that, if you do not wish. But I can see where it would get a terrible reaction, indeed. It stings to have such painful reminders.

[...]

Would you care for a distraction, perhaps? Color me curious about something.

[niceoppai]

Yeah... [She draws back into herself and pokes the ground with a stick.] Y'know, if we were stronger, maybe we could make more people listen... but that's an awful way to think about it, huh?

[eudaimonikos]

I can't anymore. I had my own little corner of reality back then, just had to adjust the controls.

[He motions for a second like moving a slider.]

Hmmm...the sound isn't bad. I'm glad our first storm happened while we were in here, though. It would've really sucked to be out there in the tents.
