[outtahere]

So on my group's trip, we saw a god - "Yveltal", who I'd hafta say can be called the God of Death from what we saw - heard about another god - "Groudon", who apparently tore up something called "117" - saw one of the ancients' cities - "Mauville City" - and met the Savior in person.

So how did everyone else's trips go?

Banzu out.

action/video;

[Since her return from-- whatever it was that they did and witnessed with Lugia and the three legendary birds, Honoka has thrown herself head-first into finalizing her little sweets shop. Outside the cart there is a large sign, once again in her handwriting, colorful and probably not-quite dry yet. It reads: "Unionomura☆Grand Opening". Anyone who happens by will find the orange-haired girl bustling about the tiny cart, setting out sweets of varying types in small baskets hooked onto the outer edges of the cart. They have humble prices attached to the baskets and names and flavor profiles, and she is inviting everyone who comes by to try one on the house.]

[She's trying very, very hard not to dwell on the events with the Gods, that much is obvious to anyone who knows her. She sets up her Warp Band to broadcast her advertisement across it as well, reaching out to the whole of Union.]

Experience the taste of Caldera!! Unionomura, Calderan sweets made right here in Union. New customers receive a trial sweet of their choosing!

video; private to team stupid

[She seems a little less energetic than usual, but she's smiling all the same.]

I hope everyone is okay. I've opened up my cart, you're all more than welcome to come take something home to enjoy.

Um-- Mr. Ichimonji, if you have a minute, I have a favor to ask.

009 | a return (video.)

[tagteams]

Sounds like you guys were busy while I was gone. Very busy.

[New presence to some yet an old face to others. A muscled woman with winged arms and purple hair pinned up is shown, sitting on the floor covered in papers and feathers. Some her own, some belonging to Pokémon, but she looks pretty worn yet comfortable. Comfortable as in loose clothing that resembles a little bit of Calderian clothing. Hey, she needed new clothes during her months of researching.]

I'm not sure what to even say about what happened, but it's good to come home with the city in one piece? [A couple loud squawks off camera, in which she looks away towards the sound before looking back.] Val's happy too. I think he's more happy that everyone seems to be safe, but he's too proud to admit that part.

[Another yell in denial, something getting knocked over. The life of having an arrogant Braivary.]

I won't talk much about the event since I didn't experience what most of you did... I do admit, I think we will be okay. Just... We should keep our eyes open for a while. Just in case.

Fourth Snapshot | Video

[expertonshutters]

[The smiling, cheery photographer does not appear to be in right now. What the feed gets is someone who is tired, frazzled, and angry.]

I'm glad to see that it looks like everyone made it out of that mess alive. I don't- I don't really know what to make of what we saw down there, but I can say this: I'm not really fond of a bunch of Gods that would put kids through something like that. That was bullshit.

[There's a pause while he tries to get himself under control.]

I need a drink. I need ten drinks. I'm going to go get ten drinks. Someone tell me if there's a place in town that has good drinks.

VIDEO - 001

[bornofstone]

[There's a new face on the warp bands, a tired looking young man with blond hair and soot on his cheeks.]

I'm a bit lost... Could someone please point me towards where I can find Thorin and Kili? Dark haired, absurdly tall? Kili has a Carbink with him.

[He rubs the back of his head.] I came here looking for them, but no luck so far. Seems I inherited Thorin's sense of direction.

Eighth Dream: Swords and Other Stuff [Video/Action]

( Cut for martial arts stuff )

Sorry everyone. Apparently Shinji and Geshiko decided it'd be a good idea to make you watch some of our practices. Which...I guess makes as good an advertisement as anything. Get over here...

[At a gesture, the Roserade and Gallade scuttle over to join their trainer, and a sullen looking Primeape and Toxicroak slink in as well.]

Okay. For those that don't know me, my name is Yuuna Sugasawa from the Rangers. I teach martial arts and self defense classes at Yashio's Dojo, and I've been doing joint work with Fei Fong Wong's school as well.

Our school's always taking on new students, and with as weird as things have been lately, I can honestly say there's no better time to start taking lessons. We primarily work with non-Enlightened, but we do have a few students with supernatural abilities as well. What we do runs the gamut of the very basics to some pretty advanced classes meant to help defend against people and Pokemon who are stronger than a normal human. The same applies for swordplay, and the owner, Master Yashio? Is as fine an archer as I've ever met.

[She smiles as warmly as she can, letting out a huff of breath.]

If I'm not here because of Ranger work, he is, and he'll train you even better than me. Our prices are pretty reasonable, so if you have the time and the inkling, come by. The first three lessons are free, and I don't want to sound like a salesman, but I do recommend taking up some sort of self defense. It's been an eventful year, after all.

[A pause.]

Oh, Martin? I was right about Roselia.

[And with that, she closes down the video.]

Action at the Dojo and Business District

[For the remainder of the day, Yuuna's at the school, practicing and helping take care of interested parties after her impromptu ad. After that it's off to shop, because she has some ideas and thoughts. She can be found in flower shops, wineries, and a couple of fine dining places getting stuff to go. Fancy stuff.]

Action at Home, Closed to Merrill

[With all that stuff gathered up, Yuuna heads straight home and enters without fanfaire. Looking around, she calls out.]

Merrill dear, are you home? I brought dinner!
