The Battle for Caldera
The time for action is at hand, and the players have been set in place. Those who choose to make an attempt at diplomacy head off at the appointed time to meet with Valeria, the clerk and representative of the general who leads the Gigas army. Those who wish to take more direct action against Gigas leave with General Ironbrand to put their plans into motion. In the meantime, the refugees continue to stream into Union, while supplies are gathered and flow the other way.
The outcome of this war may very well depend on the combined results of these four efforts…
((This log will be a catch-all for all four efforts of the attempt to save Caldera. There will be four different parts of this post: Diplomacy, Aggression, Refugees, and Supplies. The first two should be well established, but the Refugees portion will encompass bringing those in Caldera who require help to Union and giving them medical aid and care, while the Supplies portion will encompass people in Union setting up shelters and gathering resources to send back to Caldera, as well as other miscellaneous tasks that may be of help. Gathering resources may entail leaving Union to explore out in other areas. You all signed up for groups, so please try to maintain these groups when posting, particularly to the Diplomacy and Aggression sections. The other two may be more free-form.
Mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the logs moving.
EDIT 5/31: Please try to group up if possible! We'll generally try to wait for threads to have 2-3 people before we jump in. Threads with 3+ may attract the attention of something a little more... interesting.))

[ ....It just had to jump over them, didn't it. It just had to leave Haruka at the back of the procession, and with that Pokémon up here, there isn't much room to maneuver around.
She does her best, however, trying to edge herself forward around everybody else. Sewaddle peeks up over her shoulder to see what all the fuss is about, takes one look at Arcanine, and promptly disappears again. From the way she can feel his weight rolling around behind her she suspects he's fainted.
Her hero.
She reaches for the sword she'd, um. Appropriated earlier today. Murkrow, for his part, circles the guard Pokémon, sizing up the foe. This isn't a very good matchup for him...he might serve, as best, as an annoying decoy. ] We'll hold it off. Both of you, get ready to run.
[ Now all that remains is seeing whether the kids will listen. ]

INFIDELS! DEFILERS!
The voice speaks directly to your minds, and carries a forceful weight.
WHAT RIGHT HAVE YOU TO DESECRATE MY MASTER'S SHRINE SO!?
no subject
Her Litwick seems intent on making friends with the fiery canine, actually smiling and moving towards it, but Hotaru steps in front of her, not wanting her friend to be hurt. Sorry, Haruka, for the moment she's not budging. ] We didn't come with any ill intent. Just let us leave in peace. [ A little bit of Pressure might be seeping into her own words, a mixture of fear and determination.
...Yeah, this wasn't going to go well, was it? She prepared to Detect any incoming attacks, hoping to keep her and Celosia out of harm's way. ]
no subject
But, the deja vu leaves just as quickly as it appears when the Arcanine roars and speaks to them about their trespassing. ]
Your... Master's Shrine? [ Looking behind everyone, Usagi looks back at the little shrine that they had just tried to leave. So, they had bothered the Arcanine by being there.... but man. What kind of person would have their shrine surrounded by lava? Couldn't they have chosen something nicer, like a field of flowers or a cake shop or something? ]
no subject
Now if only they were moving along said track. The moment she attacks they're stuck here until they finish the fight, and she has no intentions of getting into a Pokémon battle above a pool of lava with a bunch of kids in tow.
She hisses in a whisper to the two younger girls. ] What are you waiting for? Go!
no subject
And just who was your Master? [perfunctory smile.]

Meting out punishments for the arrogance of humans? That line struck a chord with her, for some reason. But she didn't have time to worry about that.
She was sure to keep herself between this Pokémon and her Litwick. She spared a glance to Haruka and Michiru - what were they supposed to do now? It was only a glance, though, before she put her full attention back on this Pokémon, wary of any moves it might make. ]
no subject
The fear and stress of her choice freezes her in place. Oh Savior, what was she supposed to do? But, it's Pinky stroking her head that pulls her out of her stupor. What a great companion... ]
We don't! But we didn't come here cause trouble! [ Well, if she was going to talk... then she had better say the truth at least! Michiru had said that those were ancient relics and scrolls that they were taking in.. and deep inside, Usagi trusted that they weren't swiping them to sell them on some shady black market or something so really, that only meant one thing... ] We came to this place because we wanted to learn about the past! Because we want to help the humans of this place... of all places know what kind of world humans and pokemon used to live in!
[ Was that right? It sounded right. It felt right. She'll just go with her gut feeling that she said the right thing. ]
no subject
Rather than scold Usagi or shove her out of the way, therefore, Haruka just stares. She looks a bit awed, if confused. ]
Bunhead...
no subject
A quick glance over at her partner pretty much confirms it. Still. She's going to revisit this when they're not quite in so much peril.]
That was not our intention. Much has been lost, and it is our duty to learn what we can so we could hope to avoid the mistakes of the past.
[mostly honest, for once. The repercussions of attacking this creature - or even being flippant - does not bode particularly well.]
no subject
I suppose that is valid. But if you must take what you found, it should be replaced with something of value. If you wish to leave with what you have taken, tribute something to my master in exchange.
no subject
.....Well. It was supposed to be a sacrifice, wasn't it?
She glances at Haruka and Michiru. Those two... this had better be worth it to them.
She kneels down, placing her pack on the ground. She opened it, gingerly taking out the limited edition one-of-a-kind artisan Caldera lamp that she had purchased
with Haruka's money. She gently, almost reverently, took it to the shrine, giving it a prominent place on display inside.Haruka, Michiru, this had better be worth it.
Also, I'm sorry for completely killing the seriousness of this thread. ]
no subject
Haruka can't help but be a bit impressed when she sees what Hotaru offers as tribute; she knows how much the girl had prized that lamp. So she sighs, sweeps her cloak off her arm, and strides back over to the shrine to lay the Gigas soldier's sword atop the altar.
She actually even sort of laughs. A symbolic laying-down of weapons, huh? Negotiated with a guardian? These kids are really something. ] You're taking all the good parts.
no subject
Something may also think your lamp is very pretty, Hotaru, and lets out a light coo in approval.
If you don't want it, Arcanine, can it have it? Pretty please?However, should they look in the direction of the sound, they might catch a glimpse of something glowing and pink before it disappears.]
(OOC Note: This is a standalone tag and will not be responded to.)
no subject
Candy? Nope.
Cookies? Nope.
Pokepuffs? .... she'll leave some anyway. The Arcanine might want a treat or two for being stuck in this place for however long.
The rest of her stuff is a pair of fresh clothes, more food and some water and for a moment? Usagi looks frustrated that she can't come up with anything that could be seen as equal. ]
Clefairy?
Eh? What is it, Pinky?
[ Usagi suddenly feels Pinky shifting to stand on her shoulder and immediately feels a tug on the necklace around her neck. The rabbit girl blinks and looks down to see the Prism Scale she had won earlier with both Haruka and Michiru at the play contest. She had begged her father to ask someone to make into a necklace and had worn it ever since...
.... well, it was the only real thing she had that could be considered worth sentimental and emotional value, so as she walks to the shrine, she undoes the necklace around her neck and places it in the same spot she had picked up the TM disk as well as leaving those pokepuffs before quickly heading back to the rest of the group. ]
no subject
She digs through her pack, looking for a small box. There. She flips open the lid, exposing a pair of earrings. They're simple, but eye-catching and well-worn and well cared for. Bringing them with her had merely been habit, but at least she's not fool enough to wear them to a potential fight. One more glance at the sentimental gift, and then she's decisively closing the lid and placing it next to Usagi's necklace.]
no subject
Your offerings are accepted. Farewell, humans! May you find value in what you gained here today!
[And with that he leaps back into the lava and is gone with a small splash]
no subject
Haruka surveys their offerings one last time, thinking things over; then, turning on her heel, she snorts and makes her way to the bridge. They're done here. ]
