Community Event 1 : Kalos Beach Party

[missleadingquestions]

Hit the beach!



It's the end of the summer in Kalos and the Future Foundation outpost has generously decided to host a beach get-together for the survivors of the previous rounds of Dangan Roleplay. With a day full of beach fun followed by a night watching the nearby summer festival's fireworks, there's plenty of opportunities to meet up again and have fun with friends and pokémon.

Come join the party!

[This is a mingle, so feel free to put up your own toplevels or whatever you want to do!]

fireworks

[mopocalypse]

[Haruka's clashing nightmare of a swimsuit covered up by a baggy shirt, she plops down on the grass, followed by a dim toddling Psyduck that's munching on seaweed.]

It's nice, isn't it, hatman?

[milliondollarpipes]

[Harvey greets her with a smile. The Chansey lifts her arm to wave.]

Yeah. You can see 'em so well out here, away from any city lights.

[mopocalypse]

[Haruka waves back, as does her Psyduck, which promptly finishes eating.]

I haven't seen fireworks in a while. Well, aside from setting them off myself. The group of us did, it was great. Not that we exactly had a permit... But does that really matter in a dream world? I doubt it.

[milliondollarpipes]

Nah. Not if you don't get caught. [There's a pause, before Dad-ing kicks in and he adds:] And if you're safe. You can blow a hand off with those things.

Hey, you met Hope yet? [He places a hand on his Chansey's shoulder.]

[mopocalypse]

[giggle fit] Okay, okay! I'm not gonna lose a hand! I haven't tried it yet since we got back to the real world, anyway.

I haven't! You have a Pokémon, too? This is Meringue. [She pats the Psyduck's head. It gives a confused quack and tilts its head.] Some people at the Foundation said a therapy animal would be good for me. Something like that, anyway.

[milliondollarpipes]

Yeah? I got her from the Foundation too. They didn't say anythin' about that, they just had a bunch of Pokemon they were lookin' to find places for.

[Hope suddenly becomes very interested in polishing the shell of her egg.]

How'd that go over back home? Bringin' back a psychic duck?

[mopocalypse]

Ehe. Someone must've had a bunch of eggs or something. [Happy laughs.] Uh... well, we're not exactly allowed pets in the dorms without permits, but I didn't wanna leave Meringue at my house, and if Rin-chan can take in half the stray cats in the city, I figured I should be allowed to smuggle a Psyduck into school. My sister's friends with the dorm manager anyway. So it totally, totally works out!

[milliondollarpipes]

That's good. So you've been doin' fine?

[mopocalypse]

Yeah, yeah! Well, pretty okay. I have to do a whole year of school again, though... I did miss too much this year. Ditching class was my fault, but the hospital and murderschool weren't! It makes me want to just leave and go full-time at the Foundation, but I can't right now. At least not as long as my friends are there with me. They're important, too.

[milliondollarpipes]

Yeah, I don't know how often you'd be able to get home workin' with them full-time. They're still roundin' up those despair kids. Can't imagine those folks get a whole lotta time off.

That's a real shame though. It ain't your fault.

[mopocalypse]

Yeah, how many followers did she have? They said my world was clean, and thankfully Onee-chan wasn't hurt. I'm hearing weird stuff on base, though. Something about a military base and kids trying to teach themselves to drive that was apparently really funny to watch.

Well, part of it was. But I guess I can have more fun in school now, anyway. I don't have to be scared. No matter what they do, we're taking them on.

[milliondollarpipes]

My friends just caught 'em all and kept them on the spaceship until the Foundation showed up. They didn't know what else to do with 'em. She sent five.

I'm glad to hear that. [He'd been worried about her home life.]

[mopocalypse]

Whoa. How do you even monitor a bunch of assassin kids trying to kill you? Do you give them crayons? I don't get it at all, at all.

Yeah... It's been a long time. Poor Onee-chan, too. Sometimes I let her have Meringue for a while. Lots of us need help, I think.

[milliondollarpipes]

We've got a brig. And a lot of video games. It ain't so hard to keep kids that age busy.

Sounded like it was pretty rough back there. [And HE died before the majority of that even came out.]

[mopocalypse]

Yeah... It's something my friends at home have in common with our class here, actually. We were all a lot more messed up than you'd think. Dumb, isn't it? But we came out okay in the end.

[milliondollarpipes]

That ain't dumb, kid. You've been through a lot of crap.

[mopocalypse]

...Yeah. [She nods.] But we're all gonna get better from here. You know? It'll be "hope and miracle."

[milliondollarpipes]

There has been a lot of that goin' around lately.

[mopocalypse]

Uh-huh. And it brings even more! How about you? Are you guys doing all right?

[milliondollarpipes]

Turned out I missed a couple of people tryin' to kill my friends again while I was gone. But apparently it's been fine since then.

[Yeah he's not at all upset about not being there while everybody was getting attacked or anything. Not. At. All.]

[mopocalypse]

You mean, aside from small children?

[milliondollarpipes]

Ah, yeah. The guys I'm talkin' about were at it a lot longer than that.

[mopocalypse]

Oh, like your guys's enemies. ...It's kinda weird how so many of us have that stuff to deal with and we never knew.

[milliondollarpipes]

I guess maybe it's better that way. I'd rather I got thrown into murder school than some random joe off the street who'd never had anybody try and kill him before.

[He still wishes the kids had been left out of it.]

[mopocalypse]

But isn't that kind of sad when you think of it that way?
