Seekers

"This is Union...?"

They stop outside the gates and exchange a glance. Moments later, the Warp Band network across Union switches on to broadcast a message, displaying two strangers, similar enough to be siblings apart from their stereotypical color schemes. The man in blue speaks first.

"You guys mind opening up? It's been a long trek; we can't all just align with Ponyta and gallop across a desert."

"Though I'll bet Ponyta are less grumpy to travel with than this guy. How about we introduce ourselves? I'm Maeve."

"Ceilto. We're here representing a group called the Seekers, from the branch up in Caldera. You guys hear anything about us yet?"

A short expectant pause before Maeve smiles. "No problem. I'll explain! What we do is seek out information about the old gods. You know, the ones that a lot of people worship or hate depending on who you are and where you're from. The ones who're in the legends, buuut other than that, we don't really know much about them. So! Our Boss wanted us to come here to do some digging."

"Yeah. You'll meet him sooner or later, but the Boss-man wants to start up a new chapter here if he can - heard you guys built your whole city on top of some old ruins."

Both of them look more enthused as the topic shifts to the Old City. "We don't know how deep you guys have gotten or how much you know, but we thought that maybe, just maybe, there might be some information down there. We want to help check it out!"

Ceilto holds up a finger. "We heard those Team Evolution nuts've been around already. If you're worried we're like them at all, don't be. We're interested in learning more about the old gods, not in catching them and rubbing on a Pokéball for three wishes. But you can kick us out anyway if you feel like it - long as you let us borrow your artifacts now and then."

He receives a sock in the shoulder for his troubles. "Arg, don't tell them to just kick us out when we haven't even gotten in! ...But yeah, those Team Evolution guys? Far from what we're here to do."

"We've got a few expeditions you might be interested in, too, since you guys've got some more tricks up your sleeves than the Calderans. Small groups, though - we don't need a hundred of you coming along with us and getting killed when you blunder around and collapse it on your heads."

"Oh good grief. Don't listen to him. We do have some favors to ask, but what we're asking for isn't that dangerous. No one is going to get killed. ...Probably."

The man grins mischievously. "Probably. ...Yep. ...Well, that's about all. We'll be by the gates if you've got any questions. ...As soon as someone lets us in, c'mon already."

"Maybe if you stopped acting like that, they will."

The conversation devolves into meaningless bickering before the Warp Band unceremoniously switches off.

Well, I'm sure I'll know him when I see him, then.

Depends on the artifact. If it's something that might lead us to more information we might ask if we could borrow and take it with us.

It's a catalyst and limiter for evolutionary energy. You guys know about evolutionary stones by now, right? It's like that, but temporary. Just like with any evolution, it works best when the bond between Pokemon and trainer is strong.

...Aaaaand that's about all we have, which is just about as much as you've guessed, I'm sure.

You say that like anyone ever pays the two of us for the work we do beyond what we need to not starve to death.

I really doubt that.

[lo and behold, Eren shows up about ten minutes later to open the gate. The grumpy skarmory shifter stands at the entrance, tapping his talons impatiently. A jolteon and a glaceon stand on either side of him]

Well? Hurry up.

Well, I'm hardly the person to ask about such things... But I like your plans.
Give me a moment, and I'll be right there.

Success! Glad to hear it! We'll be riiiiight here!

[Ceilto and Maeve are there as expected. The man is taller than one might guess from his appearance on the Warp Band, standing just under 6 feet.]

Hello to you, too.

One of the things I like most about visiting new places is the hospitality.

[He's thoughtful for a long moment. They'd only really searched the Old City for specific things. Flemming himself had only gone on expeditions when he had for supplies and not to explore or hunt down information.]

I'm sure there's things that have been missed. It's always a possibility. You can't discount that.
greatrage: (there’s more than what you say)

[personal profile] greatrage 2014-06-26 05:44 am (UTC)(link)
[Woah. Not expecting him to be so tall. Even with his dumb bird legs, Eren is about 5'9". Oh well]

I'm not here to be hospitable to strangers. I'm here to show you where you need to go.

[the two eevees, though, are much more friendly. They approach the pair and sniff them curiously]

Action:

[personal profile] freelyfalling 2014-06-26 08:41 pm (UTC)(link)
[And in a few moments, the gates'll be opening, and he'll be approaching - however, from the opposite direction to the gates themselves, smiling somewhat.]

What can I say? Welcome to Union.
bnw_wighty_npcs: (Ceilto Shy)

[personal profile] bnw_wighty_npcs 2014-06-27 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Truly a place where all come together in Unity.

[Ceilto can't be sarcastic to the Eevee, though, so he'll just offer a few friendly pats on the head.]
niepokonany: (And if I'm flying solo)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-27 03:20 pm (UTC)(link)
[There's perhaps a scrap of new information there, but not much that couldn't have been assumed from what they knew before. Damn.]

Right, we get how the normal stones work--at least, I think the science-y kinds of people do?-- but like... I mean, she was at her final evolution stage, right? The Blaziken he sent up against us? How could they make her evolve again?

[Ceilto thinks for a few moments.]

Have you ever heard stories about people who see small children about to be eaten by Ursaring and then they suddenly have the strength to fight with a bear until the kid escapes?

Adrenaline. It's a little like that. But more focused and purposeful and with less bears involved.
niepokonany: (Your mouth is talking)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-28 05:49 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, but when they did it? Way over the top. Like, there was no reason to bust that out on a Kirlia who evolved, like, a day ago!

You know, except to be jerks.
bnw_wighty_npcs: (Ceilto Point)

[personal profile] bnw_wighty_npcs 2014-06-29 02:52 am (UTC)(link)
[Ceilto gives a shrug.]

I'm not too surprised. It's how they get recruits to be impressed by their strength.
niepokonany: (Too rough)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-06-29 03:07 pm (UTC)(link)
What, by being totally insufferable?

I bet they're like, compensating for something. All of them!
bnw_wighty_npcs: (Default)

[personal profile] bnw_wighty_npcs 2014-06-30 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
Probably.

[He agrees readily.]

Like, a soul, maybe. But most of the grunts aren't great at working with Pokemon.
niepokonany: (How did it end up like this?)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-07-01 04:10 am (UTC)(link)
For real? I guess we kinda only saw the leaders fight...
bnw_wighty_npcs: (Default)

[personal profile] bnw_wighty_npcs 2014-07-02 01:34 am (UTC)(link)
Mega Evolution isn't something that just anyone can pick up and use. It's pointless to try if you don't actually have any talent.
niepokonany: (+They say the devil's water)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-07-02 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
So like, if they tried to use it, it just... Wouldn't work?

Where do they get the stuff, anyway? Does anyone else have it?
bnw_wighty_npcs: (Default)

[personal profile] bnw_wighty_npcs 2014-07-03 01:49 am (UTC)(link)
[A great big shrug.]

If we knew any of that, we wouldn't be sitting around gossiping over how unfair it is that they've got something so cool, would we?
niepokonany: (Oh is that what you had said?)

[personal profile] niepokonany 2014-07-03 01:51 am (UTC)(link)
Well, totally didn't hurt to ask.

...So lame, though.
