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.))

[ Poison he could deal with, ground he cannot. Attempt to talk number one start-
Duke apologizes to the grimer, stepping away from the group and dropping that funny looking sword he'd been carrying. Hopefully empty hands will mean the same to them as it does to humans? ]
Ma'am Nidoqueen! I am sorry to have been eavesdropping, but I'd really like to talk to you about several points you made that I really don't understand. Particularly the kidnapping and machines part.
[ Just... going to stand there awkwardly with his hands held open. Nothing in them, he's not a threat, honest! ]
The humans of union talk to the Pokemon they bond with, convincing them that working together is for the best? As for building things - we have had not towers built in a while. It may be because I spend most of my time reading, but I don't know what you mean by maddening machines.
[ He's going to stop there, because talking too much - which seems to be his problem today - probably isn't going to go over any better than it had. ]
no subject
"You know exactly what I speak of, don't lie to me human. Those machines in our caves! Our home! You set them up, and now they are constantly buzzing, day and night. We cannot slumber, we can only fight and evolve, even if we would not. But now that evolution will haunt you. For your crimes your city will fall and we will make a new home on its ashes!"
no subject
[ How will there be ashes, none of you are fire types is not the reaction he should have. ]
Pardon for saying so, ma'am. But if you know where the machines are, why is it easier to attack the humans above? Because there are a lot of us, with our befriended pokemon, and with the strength to destroy the city above, surely the machines down here wouldn't be a problem.
[ Remembering Ashlynn's words, he offers an option slowly. ]
We have a way so that you can know that none of us lie, if you want that option. I cannot deny that the humans do come down here, and that we do occasionally leave with Pokemon, but nothing about those machines sounds familiar to me.
no subject
Well, if that's the problem, then they need to tell us where these things are so we can smash them.
[She frowns again.] We also need to find out what's causing those quakes, unless those things are responsible for that too somehow.
[That'd be convenient. Hit two Pidgeys with one stone and all. This mission looked better than she'd expected so far, but the miko wasn't about to put her weapons away yet.]
no subject
Yeah..If we can help them out, the better things are for them and all of us back in the city.
[That and it might mean they could avoid a fight that could possibly end badly. Ground types were not her friend but if it came down to it, She'd fight.]
Maybe ask her if she wouldn't mind us tryin' ta help them out. The worst thing that could happen is we find the machines and we can't take them out without engineers or whatever.
no subject
"Very well human! You amuse me. Show me this trick to prove you aren't lying. If so, I shall spare your city. I will, however, take the girl with the yellow head up on her offer. If you wish to save your city, you must aid us in our quest.
no subject
[ Duke sort of explains that laughing for Marisa. Does he sound relieved? He does. ]
And she says that we can go ahead and prove we aren't lying about the machines. Warp bands ready?
[ And then back to the Nidoqueen. ]
The band will allow us to briefly touch minds. You can search as you like to see what we know. ... I can do so without it, if you would prefer that option?
[ A tiny bit of a smile. ]
Either way, pick who you would like to go first?
no subject
no subject
[ Smart, or a liar is he? He smiles a little and inclines his torso in a shallow bow - thank you for that barbed complement.
He asked too many questions in a row. She didn't pick Warp Band or his powers, but he figures he might as well do the faster option.
So Duke reaches a little slowly out with his mind - a tiny brush, and then an open door. Feel free to poke around the somewhat boring life of a researcher who loves his job and the pokemon attached to that flower in his hair, Ma'am Nidoqueen. ]
no subject
"Ugh, I guess you were truthful. Also boring. This sucks, I wanted to break something."
no subject
[ But she's calm, and Duke just looks relieved. That worked.
He turns back to the humans. ]
... If we can't manage to take apart the machines, would it be wrong to let them take out irritation on them?
no subject
[Hey, Marisa is just glad the pokemon isn't attacking her.]
no subject
[Yeah, she's pretty glad she didn't have to fight them either. That would've been a pain.]
no subject
no subject
Speaking of that.]
So, now that that's taken care of, where can we find those machines?
no subject
[ Because that seems to be what he's good at-
So back to the nidoqueen. ]
Were there areas where the noises were louder? Or was it just about everywhere.
no subject
no subject
[ Duke repeats that, because hasn't the city been having issues with a lack of iron. ]
... Would you mind being a guide? You know the caves much better than I.
[ And he is pretty sure Ashlynn, who he knows is a delver, would have mentioned iron caves if she knew where they were- ]
no subject
[The Nidoqueen is going to lead the group deep into the city to a massive tunnel that goes straight in the direction of the caverns to the east]
no subject
[Marisa has no interest in the Nidoqueen either, wanting to help but at the same time she was keeping her distance..and her knuckles were white from the fact she wasn't letting go of her broom for anything at the moment.
But at the very least she'll nod and slowly start to follow.]
no subject
It figures after all that fuss about there not being enough iron in the Old City and needing to go look for a mine outside the walls, there'd be a place mine for it somewhere here after all...
[She's going to also start following as she grumbles about this. She didn't get involved in that at all, but since when has that ever stopped her?]
no subject
[OOC: Despite having this tracked, I've received no notifs this entire week. I think Dreamwidth or Gmail is being a butt. Unfortunately, I also have to hiatus for the weekend. Move ahead without me and get your bonuses. God-mod rights to Duke-mun if you need Ashlynn to fight. She's steel/flying/fire and mostly uses her hammer to smash stuff.]
no subject
"...the sound is gone."
no subject
What do you mean it's gone?
[And she actually sounds kind of annoyed by this. This better not mean someone else already came and found them before they could. That would really be a pain after everything.]
((ffft, deleted this comment before because I forgot Duke was the one translating, but I'm going to assume he said something. If that's alright with Duke-mun? XD;))
no subject
... On the other hand...
[ Buildings. Those look interesting, even if they don't get to smash or take things apart. ]
