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.))

A temporary ceasefire has been called for the moment. A meeting has been arranged, halfway between the gates of Caldera and the main Gigas camp; just out of sight of the camp, Rory calls a halt and surveys those assembled before him gravely.

"I and my fellows will speak for Team Evolution today. While Valeria will be quite aware that I have coached you, let us carry on the charade nonetheless. You must speak on behalf of Union - consider your words carefully." He pauses for a moment, and when he speaks again, his words are harsher than any he has wielded before. "Those of you with strong tempers, leave now and join General Ironbrand. Your words and actions today may save or destroy Caldera. I will not have my home lost by a careless, uncontrolled tongue. It is a rare opportunity for Valeria to even agree to speak with us, but your appearance has brought with it new advantages. I have proposed some ideas, but you are welcome to speak of your own accord, naturally." He glances back towards the enemy encampment. "Well. ...If everyone is ready, let’s proceed."

A nod, and he turns, flanked by several others who are assumedly members of Team Evolution. The Gigas representative, Valeria, stands just beyond...

[well now. Michiru supposes it's time she earned her wage. Or, well, followed orders for the sake of expediency.

Still, it's about time the enemy showed up. While the vantage point they've selected is lovely enough, she's got better things to do than wait around all day.

Alright, let's see what kind if shape the enemy is in...]

[Chie, along with whatever contingent of the Swords of the Savior have been sent to accompany her, is escorting a group of refugees through the city and back to the Warp Point so they can make it safely back to Union. She's keeping her eyes peeled for safe routes to take, and is definitely ready to throw down and fight if necessary to protect her charges.]

[Squid Girl spends most of the next several days ferrying her Pokemon team over to Caldera, where she has been assured they will be well provided for despite the almost complete lack of water in their city.

And because of that problem, the first order of business is to take her Castform, Stormy, over there to set up a Rain Dance to fill up Caldera's reservoirs and replenish its water supply. She then begins bringing over the rest of her team, five at a time as that's all her Warp Band can handle. She starts with the ones that can survive on land so they can help out with making enough water to support the ones that can't, and eventually she's got a Castform and twelve Water type Pokemon all doing their best to make as much water as possible to support the Calderan army.

There's also a rather out of place looking Trubbish wandering around among all of this and stinking up the place. Hey, they said they wanted everything she had.]

[ Haruka is up here too, peering down in search of their target. "Cut off the supply route", huh? She supposes that isn't too much of a pain.

The wind shifts, and Haruka crouches down on one knee. Not much longer. ]

[Jinxie is standing by with Sparky the Rotom, Foxfire the Ninetales, as well as six other Pokemon of the Ghost and Psychic types, waiting for the signal to commence with Operation Hijack a Siege Engine, or whatever actual name this plan is being given. Based on the earlier conversation in the war council tent, she'll be hanging out near Lux, Apollo, and Garen while she nervously paces.]

[On the Union side, Merrill is temporarily working alongside the medical professionals in the hospital. She's only familiar with herbal medicine, and a lot of it she has had to learn as she goes along, but she's doing her best to help. When she's not at the hospital, she's busy running blankets and other supplies out to new groups of refugees coming into Union's walls.]

Supplies: open post for anyone without a group?

[personal profile] realmenknitplushies 2014-05-30 02:53 pm (UTC)(link)
[Over in Union, Kanji is charging about like a maniac, running supplies back and forth to the Warp and helping set whatever up needs setting up. Expect to see him swinging hammers and drills like the wind and generally putting his Engineer's touch to good use. These people have been through enough - they don't need to be miserable now they're here!
... He may also be handing out the odd cute plushie to the younger refugees. Breaks his heart to split with some of them, but needs must.]

[Ky was one of the commanders guarding the refugees, keeping an equal watch out - he falls back a little when he noticed one of the kids was having trouble keeping up and scooped the child up in his arms]

It's okay - we're almost there.

[He gives a cursory nod to Chie as he catches up to the main group]

I never thought my first week of training would be the real thing.

[It's mostly excitement in her voice, but also a bit of nervousness. Chie knows that their peaceful escort could be interrupted at any time, and she wants to save as many people as possible.]
bejustorbedead: (Default)

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2014-05-30 06:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Well - it is a trial by fire I suppose.

Mama!

[The kid called out, and a woman breaks out from the crowd - a few soft words were exchanged, and the mother takes her child from Ky before melting back into the group]

Just be alert, channel that nervous energy into your stance.
footprints_on_your_face: (well we all fall in love)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-05-30 07:01 pm (UTC)(link)
Right. Eye of the Dragonite...

[Chie takes a deep breath as she walks along, visibly puffing out a small blast of chilly air when she lets it go.]
bejustorbedead: (evoyougotme)

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2014-05-30 07:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[He nods in approval]

Yes - just like that, deep breaths, and focus on our task, it'll calm the nerves.

You seem pretty experienced, Commander Kiske. How long have you been with the Swords?

[As Chie is talking, a particularly observant and smart child who happened to see that chilly air puff from her mouth walks up and gently takes her hand.]

Mama, she's nice and cool!
bejustorbedead: (evogrinning)

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2014-05-30 07:12 pm (UTC)(link)
[He barely hid a grin at the comment]

How long have I...? I suppose I joined when I was about your age, so five - six years? I wanted to follow my cousin Garen.

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-05-30 07:14 pm (UTC)(link)
Wow... and you're already a Commander...

[Chie smiles down at the little kid, squeezing his hand briefly.]

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2014-05-30 07:22 pm (UTC)(link)
I won't deny my status played some role in it, but I would like to think it's mostly due to hard work and a little bit of fortune.

[He chuckles]

It seems you're pretty good with children.
footprints_on_your_face: (some are silk)

[personal profile] footprints_on_your_face 2014-05-30 07:24 pm (UTC)(link)
Well, I'm definitely gonna work hard too! I gotta do my best for everyone!

[A big ball of energy, this one. She puts on a sheepish little smile at the comment about children.]

I'm pretty popular in hot weather, I guess. Ice type and all.

I've done a lot of talking lately, so consider this my last speech for a while...

[ At least for the Swords, Hans would have informed them of Rory's plan, empathizing caution and control above all else. Still he addresses the group-- the Union side. ]

Remember, this is as much Caldera's fight as ours. Gigas is more powerful, better armed and they could outman us several time if need be. But what we have sets us apart, and they'll want to see that. One way or another, we'll be changing lives today... And as long as we work together, we can do this.

[In another part of the city, Rise's helping the of-course-entirely-civilian volunteers from Union Divine Theater keep the refugee groups moving in an orderly fashion.]

Okay, everyone, just stay together and don't push and we'll be out of here in just a few more minutes.

[She's also got her usual buddies Toyo and Himiko at her side, ready to detect and intercept anyone who decides attacking civilians would be fun. She's not using her own Enlightened powers at the moment for fear that the press of people would overwhelm her extra senses.]
threemoms: (♄ no i'm not michiru)

[personal profile] threemoms 2014-05-31 03:25 am (UTC)(link)
[ Hotaru is likewise with the of-course-entirely-civilian volunteers from the Union Divine Theater. Even if she's not actually a part of the theater, technically. Whatevs.

But the group's still "keeping an eye" on the girl, and they don't trust her to join Michiru and Haruka with the attacking group, so Hotaru's stuck with Rise. Or... Rise's stuck with Hotaru. Whichever.

Since there's so many people around, Hotaru's sticking to her Absol form. She doesn't deal with people. She doesn't want any questions. And besides, Absols were known for their keen senses, which can detect the most minute changes through the air or ground, so she doubled as an early warning system for enemies. ]


There's too many people. [ Is that a grumble? Complaint? Observation? Whichever it is, maybe she shouldn't be talking in human language if she wants to keep up the Pokémon charade. ]
