Test 5.

VERITY

The journey this month has been easier on you in several ways; despite your losses, your numbers have been bolstered by the addition of two more this month, and unlike the unforgiving terrain on the way to Lake Acuity the routes to Lake Verity seem downright hospitable - they're straightforward, the climate is far more temperate, and there are patches of cheer visible here and there along the paths in the form of those brightly-colored flowers, even as you make your way toward the lakefront.

But the lakefront itself is perhaps unsettlingly silent; a reminder, perhaps, of what you're here to do, of the importance of your task.

You'll reach the lake sometime in the evening. The sun isn't down yet, but it looks as though it won't be too long before it dips below the horizon; there's more than enough light for you to see what the lake itself looks like, however - the water is still and clear, to an extent where you can see straight down to the bottom regardless of how deep it gets. There's no bridge or other way to cross over the lake that you can see, but once again there's a large rock formation rising out of the center of the lake and a good-sized opening in the stone, leading to what's likely a system of caverns further inside.

Your exploration starts here, next to the crystal clear waters of Lake Verity; what happens next is up to you.

Does anything make sense here?

[he will accept this, in fact. please help cloud birb.]
semistableman: (★ someplace i will never be)

[personal profile] semistableman 2018-08-24 05:21 pm (UTC)(link)
Nah, I think he looks pretty cute.

Just... a little deflated. Soaked feathers 'n all.

Er...I've never tried. I've just been trying to get it to control it's teleporting, so, uh...

[Sena looks down at the Abra in his arms, who's presumably been aware of all this despite being asleep.] Do you think you could take us over the-

[SNAP. suddenly, sena is Gone. His other Pokemon (sans Shell, who is just kinda...floating...there...) yelp in alarm.]
omissions: (overshadowed)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-24 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
[If it's any consolation, Ari has his own Haunter out too so that Jane doesn't have to do all the work alone again like last time?]

What's wrong with your... ah, fish friend?

[Other than having such a dead-eyed stare to it.]
hyruglyphics: (to be using them)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-08-24 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh no, they look fine... I suppose their wings must have a very slight bone structure to them, or perhaps the bones and muscles themselves are made of that material...?

[ . . . She kind of wants to touch the wings now. ]
perfectselfie: (very pleased ♡)

[personal profile] perfectselfie 2018-08-24 05:22 pm (UTC)(link)
You have a very good point there.

[Come here, cloud birb, Aya's just going to attempt to towel off the fluffy wings.]
hyruglyphics: (Jibun woo)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-08-24 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Sena why ]

Sena?!
omissions: (me and satan king)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-24 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Okay.

[Out comes Stanley! If anyone wants to have him ferry you across, line up... except maybe don't do anything that will tempt the Haunter to drop you in the lake out of amusement. It's got a bad habit of pulling pranks lately.]
discutio: (and i'll burn you to the ground)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-08-24 05:23 pm (UTC)(link)
Deflated does paint an illuminating picture.
hyruglyphics: (I mean some look okay?)

[personal profile] hyruglyphics 2018-08-24 05:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I should love to ride on her back! I imagine it would be similar enough to being on the back of Bosphoramus.

[ she volunteers weeeee ]

[Atsushi looks up at the dinosaur in question, Chazuke on one shoulder with Natto more or less draped around his shoulders.]

Keith-kun, this Pokemon...she can fly?
discutio: (hot air for a cool breeze)

[personal profile] discutio 2018-08-24 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
[go for it zelda, they’re even starting to puff back up a little now that he’s shaken off on poor rin and atsushi]

I wonder if he can still fly. Sounds like you’re describing chocobo wings, and he seems about that height.
redbellion: (3402070)

[personal profile] redbellion 2018-08-24 05:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Not a problem. We need as many Pokemon as we can get, with how many people we need to transport across.

Need a lift?
thunderwolf: (♦ supposedly this is happy)

[personal profile] thunderwolf 2018-08-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Great.

[This is shaping up to be a much smoother process!]
heritrix: (not my delicate sensibilities)

[personal profile] heritrix 2018-08-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
—ugh!

[She was already splashed a little bit from when Highwind fell in, but now she's definitely getting the brunt of that. JOY. She makes a face, but it's nothing to get mad about. The poor Altaria looks miserable. Getting over the shock, Rin sighs heavily, wiping water off her face.]

Well, congratulations are still an order, Ignis. Highwind's a lot bigger now; I imagine she'll be pretty comfy to sit on when she's drier, and a great nap partner.
redbellion: (to give in)

[personal profile] redbellion 2018-08-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, she can. I couldn't believe it either.

[ a flying...brontosaurus-lookin pokemon. yep. ]

...Need a lift, Atsushi?
eudaimonikos: (you're out in the world)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-08-24 05:27 pm (UTC)(link)
It's, um. Well, look at it.

[Michael releases Feebas into the water. It's a Feebas, so it basically looks like garbage that has been eating even worse garbage and not getting enough calories at all. Definitely not big or strong enough to ferry anyone.

Despite this, it takes in what's happening and then turns to start swimming for the island itself.]
omissions: (are you...caught in a time warp?)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-24 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
... Oh. There it goes.

[bye Feebas???]
takestheblame: 13 (13)

[personal profile] takestheblame 2018-08-24 05:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Fine by me. I haven't tried to ride her anywhere, but I know she's strong. She can do it.

[Yeah, it'll be a smooth trip! Have fun, Zelda]
thunderwolf: (♦ another glance)

[personal profile] thunderwolf 2018-08-24 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
He'll be great if we end up having to go through the mountains.

[The Mt. Coronet range, he means.]
heritrix: 1804-41-4a24 (da fuck is this chickenscratch)

[personal profile] heritrix 2018-08-24 05:30 pm (UTC)(link)
[I can't believe Sena's fucking dead.

Wait, let's not get ahead of ourselves. Rin is far more excited about the prospect of a pokemon teleporting than she was about that weird device, so let's check the other side of Lake Verity first! Rin puts a hand over her eyes to shade them from the sun, squinting.]


Can you see him?

[Asked to anyone in the general area. Did they make it?]

eudaimonikos: (I'm gonna need a boost)

[personal profile] eudaimonikos 2018-08-24 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh - now it'll leave me alone.
gekkaju: (38)

[personal profile] gekkaju 2018-08-24 05:31 pm (UTC)(link)
If she doesn’t mind. Mine aren’t big enough to help out, and I think Natto here would make all our days miserable if she gets wet.

[We don’t want another poison gas incident.]

Can’t say I’ve ever flown on something like this before, though...so I guess just be gentle?

[He’s been through so much but apparently flying dinosaurs is where it starts getting weird.]
thunderwolf: (♦ supposedly this is surprise)

[personal profile] thunderwolf 2018-08-24 05:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Uh

UH

Mildly alarmed, Eustace looks toward the structure in the middle of the lake. Did the two end up over there??]
omissions: (what am I even reading here)

[personal profile] omissions 2018-08-24 05:34 pm (UTC)(link)
At least it's able to swim.

[For a hot minute there, given how garbage the fish looks, Ari would not have been surprised if the fish had just... turned over onto it's side in the water when Michael had released it into the lake.]
