Descent

Iron Mines:
The trip to the eastern mountains is punctuated by the continuing aftershocks. After each one, it may be tempting to glance back at Union to see if any of the towers have fallen yet. The expedition parties move with incredible speed, knowing that the fate of their City hangs on the line.

When they reach the mountains, guided by the coordinates given of the 'strange radio signal', the parties will find that many of the normal entrances and routes have been blocked by cave-ins. In contrast, however, a gaping hole has opened up where none existed before. As this seems to be the easiest way to gain access, the parties slowly lower themselves in...

They will find themselves in the long-sought iron mines.

But there are so many twisting turns and tunnels, it will be impossible to stay together and make any sort of progress. Each group will have to take their own paths from here...

Old City:
Each of the twelve entrances down into the Old City take a different meandering route through the ruins. Though several are blocked off by this time, there are still many potential paths to take. The state of the Old City is poor, being underground as it is, and occasional soft rumblings are certain to cause unease. As the report states, however, there is enough of an interval between quakes that it should be possible to investigate safely.

It would be unwise to venture down alone, but it is impossible, too, for everyone to stay together if they wish to make headway.

Union:
The wild Pokémon continue to come out of the Old City, though the frequency has been somewhat lessened. Rubble lines the streets and though no towers have collapsed as of yet, some seem to be dangerously close and certainly nobody should be staying inside of them. As stated, the towers in Sector 3 are the worse off and construction crews work frantically to attempt to restabilize the foundations of these buildings.

The injured are innumerable, the number of casualties is as of yet unknown, and the chaos and panic is difficult to fend off.

There is a great deal of work to be done.

((Please post below with your groups - in the first comment, please note the members of your group, where you are, and whether or not you intend to keep a threading order. Regardless of threading order, mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the event moving. Groups should be three to four people in size.

At this time, all characters entering the iron mines will be able to choose to bond with a free extra Pokemon listed under 'Cavern' in the Map and Wild Pokemon post. Please respond there if you intend to make use of this. Characters who have already claimed a free Old City Pokemon may not do so.))

...Something tells me the guards aren't going to appreciate it if he knocks another building down.

[Oh, it's probably fine. See? Gulliver gives it another slam for good measure.]

Yeaaaah, this isn't gonna work. Happy, come on out!

[Holding out her warp band, she summons her Budew, who dances a bit in place.]

Use Absorb!

[Leaves on its head twitching, they glow, and a beam fires out toward the Grimer. Delicious HP for Happy!

Fortunately, Curly at least is paying attention to Hiroshi and throws out another Reflect wall behind him.]
all_onis_are_true: (N-no way...)

[Hiroshi only just barely registers the sludge wave a moment too late; he turns, startled, raising his arm up to protect himself. Stupid, why wasn't he paying more --

Two things happen. One, the reflect wall goes up behind Hiroshi. And two, Takuro suddenly butts Hiroshi out of the way, getting ready to take any of the hit that might seep through.]


Takuro! Wait, stop --!

[Hiroshi proves to be an agile little guy, ducking out of the way... but he doesn't seem to be paying much attention to the Smeargle right now, instead running over to Takuro, who seems to be out for the count.]

Takuro? Takuro! Takuro, wake up! Please!

[We're sorry, Smeargle, did you think you were dealing with a cool, confident trainer? Well clearly you're wrong. You instead seem to be dealing with a very scared, very upset teenage boy who seems to have dropped any pretenses that he knows what he's doing.]

Takuro, come on, wake up, please! I... I can't do this again! Not when I finally made progress! TAKURO!

[...Wait, "again?"]
all_onis_are_true: (What the hell was that?)

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2014-02-05 06:06 am (UTC)(link)
[Hiroshi starts. Shit, is it coming in to attack again?

...and then he blinks as it swaths its paintbrush over his face. He reaches up. What... At a time like this, it's doing something like...

Takuro coughs lightly, and Hiroshi turns to him. Shock and relief washes over him.]


T-Takuro, you're okay...

[The little dragon Pokemon looks up at him... and then chuckles lightly. Hiroshi isn't sure whether to feel relieved or indignant.]
all_onis_are_true: (you incredible dumbass.)

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2014-02-05 10:18 pm (UTC)(link)
[Oh no, Hiroshi's had enough of this.]

You idiot! You nearly got Takuro killed! Do you even know what that stuff you're using is made of? Because I can sure as hell tell you it's not paint! You could kill somebody hitting them with that stuff! That's pure poison!

[Speaking of which, he wipes the stuff off his own face and makes a point to visit the medics and make sure nothing worse happened.]
all_onis_are_true: (How could you possibly hope to understan)

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2014-02-06 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
[And boy, are those eyebrows twitching right now.]

You... you...!

[Hiroshi nearly commits suicide via slugging a Pokemon when he feels a paw on his pants leg. He blinks as Takuro forces himself to his feet, wobbling.]

Wait, Takuro, you shouldn't --

[The Axew holds his paw up. Slowly, he staggers over to where the Smeargle is and stares at it eye to eye. He can barely stand. And then, carefully, boldly...

...he takes some of the sludge still on his own body, dips his paw in it, smeks the Smeargle on the nose and... draws his own mustache. He wobbles back, nodding, before falling back down on his butt again.

As Hiroshi rushes to check on him again, he can't help but feel he's just observed something... conciliatory?]
all_onis_are_true: (i'm not sure how this got a novel)

[personal profile] all_onis_are_true 2014-02-06 04:54 am (UTC)(link)
[Hiroshi shields himself from the goop, then yelps as the Smeargle snags Takuro.]

Hey!

[He chases after them and stops when he sees the two. Huh?

...

Somewhere, in the back of his mind, he feels like it's important to observe.

Takuro looks blearily at the boulder, then at the Smeargle. A weirdly crooked smile grows on his face before he weakly takes the tail, turns to the boulder, and paints a kind of silly, somewhat crude version of the Smeargle's face He then lets go and looks at the Smeargle expectantly.]
