[ So....Hotaru.

That's all Haruka gets out of the recent infodump, and it's enough. She'd known at least one scientist had been experimenting with combining Pokémon and humans - it says something about humanity, maybe, that the good Professor hadn't been the only one with that idea. Her species certainly doesn't make it easy to defend them against hostile, justice-wielding Gods.

She doesn't bother replying to Rory; what's the point? Nearly a year ago, she and Michiru had spared Hotaru because the girl wasn't yet volatile. The Enhanced, if what she sees when she encounters one matches what Rory's announced, have crossed that line. And while it's not technically Divine Defense Force jurisdiction anymore, well, Haruka's here. She's got experience. She knows what has to be done and she's prepared to do it.

But she sent Sanae, Takuto, and Rise out to one of these things. Can she ask them, who as far as she knows have no destined connection to the history of the world, to do the same?

It's not a difficult question. She'll talk to them in a bit. For now, she needs to just sit here, atop World Shaking as he squats in the Swamp and thinks about nothing and trusts her with every bone in his body, calming herself and rising above her own emotions. What she's prepared to do is terrible. Unforgivable.

But she won't forgive herself if she falters. So she'll be fine.

People who've also come out to the Ruins can either find her and World Shaking hanging out like a statue to The Eve of Battle or else notice she's gone off on her own to scout ahead a bit. She's not intending to totally go in alone - she's taking at least Michiru when that time comes - but the more they know the better, right? And she wants to find someplace solitary to make a few Warp Band calls.

That "someplace solitary" is "towards the Ruins, at the edge of the mist" is pure coincidence. ]

This is Haruka. Determine whether the new information is accurate. What you do after that is your decision, but don't sacrifice yourselves.

Our enemy is bigger than this.

[ And fearless leader out. ]

Try not to die.

The "Good" Doctor

[bnw_sheepy_npcs]

The Warp Band flickers to life early in the morning, to reveal a room not entirely unlike Rory’s. The lights are low, and there are papers strewn in every which direction. The usual immaculate facade that was Doctor Crystal Verdine is otherwise gone; her hair is tied out of the way in a hasty bun, her lab coat crumpled in the corner to the side, and her usual attire traded for what appear to be night clothes. A pair of glasses sit on her nose, and she seems to care little for posture and appearances at this point; the otherwise youthful woman appears to finally be showing her age.

She looks tired. Turning on a lamp beside her, she engaged her likely captivated audience.

( Good morning, Union. )

video; bike renting

[creamsouda]

Hey.

So, shit's pretty real right now, huh?

I got some of the bikes for order ready, but since it looks kinda like um... y'know, an emergency? I'm out right now.

[Out in the mountains, specifically. He looks worried, but he knows Kuzuryuu's gonna have an earful for him if he doesn't keep his cool.]

Anyway, since it's an emergency, if any of y'all need a bike to get around... I got 5 Field Bikes and 2 City Bikes available for rent. I'm doin' you a favor and rentin' them out for free, but you're also gonna have to talk to pops if you want 'em.

Just let me know so I know what's up later.

I remember what I shouldn't / (Backdated to jan 22nd)

[bladeisme]

Who: Ichigo, Maya, Kuzuryu, and anyone else who goes to the Kurain school at that time.
When: 1/22
What: Ichigo's gone down into the old city and remembered where and how he died. And now, he's stuck as an Aegislash for the foreseeable future. Whoops.
Warnings: Sad sword ghost and mentions of death? Swearing too, probably.

Event - Confrontation with the Enhanced

[bravenewmods]

With the revelation of the presence of the Enhanced, Union was able to quickly mobilize. As the strange conditions continued to worsen, the Trainers of Union once again set out to bring order to the chaos.

This time however, they do not walk entirely alone. A small, dedicated team remains behind in Union, sorting through the dossiers and information that Crystal and Rory have collected. Connected to those in the field via Warp Band network, hopefully they can identify the Enhanced and find a way to calm them before a tragedy occurs.

[OOC: There will be a thread for each active team based on the sign-ups. Any areas that did not have any sign-ups will not be present and will be addressed later. As per our usual standards, moderators and NPC helpers will progress the log at least once every 24 hours. The Union log will work somewhat differently from the battle logs in that the participants will be collecting information concerning the Enhanced; when enough information has been accumulated, they will be asked to tag into the battle threads to provide guidance and support to those out in the field.

Characters participating in the Union log will function as support staff for this event. They will have their own log interacting with Rory and Crystal and as characters in other logs encounter the Enhanced, they can use the observations made to try to find out more about the Enhanced in the field and help the people in the field determine an appropriate situation. Because of this, players in the Union thread may threadjack any ongoing log to relay information as needed.

The outcome of this event will depend very much on player decisions and the ability of the characters to respond to the threats at hand, so we would highly encourage you all to tag as regularly as possible. Thanks!]
