Event - Confrontation with the Enhanced
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!]

[That hiss makes him uneasy. It sounds kind of like an Arbok, doesn't it? Poison types are pretty bad news for him...]
[No sense worrying too much about it now.]
Maybe the altar seems safe? Like, I might think that, if I were running around in the wilderness with people coming after me.
no subject
[Fei considers for a moment]
So, what do we do? Do we just reach in and try to grab whatever's in there and pull it out? That doesn't seem too safe.
no subject
Mona. Behind me.
[ The pokemon doing as she is told, Elly's expression changes a bit as she tried to address what they assumed was the Enhanced behind the altar. ]
It's all right. We aren't going to hurt you.
no subject
Don't look at me!
[This time, there is only a single purple flash from behind the twisted mass of vines and thorns, followed by a spray of thick poisonous venom as it shoots out from inside. It's not so much aimed at anyone in particular, but more of a warning shot for anyone attempting to get too close.]
no subject
Poison...?
[He almost looked up where it came from - but managed to stop himself, no. The voice didn't want that - it would likely set them off. It was a risk, but if the sword could calm whoever this enhanced was, he would take a gamble]
Isaac, dim the light - just enough that we can see our immediate area and no further.
[The Ampharos hesitated, but complies as the Venusaur let out a disgruntled noise]
no subject
[Feliks squeaks a little as he jumps back, pulling his Gardevoir behind him, his heart immediately racing. Should have gone with one of the other groups... Like, the fire-and-ice mountain. Why didn't he go to the fire-and-ice mountain?? He would have been great there!]
[He takes a breath, trying to steady his nerves.]
Um... W-We're like, not looking! It's okay!
no subject
Fei, get the medical pack for me. Are you hurt at all? I'm a nurse from Union, a settlement to the northwest. These are my friends. We're here to help you.
no subject
no subject
To Elly and anyone still standing near the altar, it's apparent that this is unfortunately someone who simply looks better both at a distance and in very dim light. His skin is pale, face slightly too thin, purple eyes bulging disturbingly - overall, not someone who is easy to look at.
And while he is no longer directly attacking, the expression on his face remains fearful and guarded. When he speaks again, his voice is quiet but severe, giving the sense that he is actively holding himself back from a louder outburst.]
There's no medicine that can cure what's wrong with me.
no subject
I know what you've gone through. I couldn't possibly imagine the pain you've gone through, but I've had a similar experience. I know what it feels like to believe that you're a monster.
[ She raises her gaze just slightly, still not looking him in the eye, but just enough that she can give him a reassuring smile. ]
These people are kind. If they can take in and help someone like me, I know they can help you, even just a little bit. Will you let us try?
[ She reaches a hand out, offering it to him. ]
no subject
no subject
For now, Elly seems to have a good handle on the situation]
no subject
[Feliks stands near the back for the moment, letting the more combat-trained members of the assembled company take the lead positions. Most of his strong attacks are ranged, anyway. He contemplates using Misty Terrain to keep anybody from being poisoned, but it's not exactly something he can do inconspicuously. Best to just toss it out there immediately if a fight does break out.]
Maybe not cure, but like, there are ways to make things easier, right? And like she said, we want to help you out!
best I could do on the pb front, just imagine Ghirahim is a little creepier
[His voice is disdainful, practically spitting the words back at Elly. Clearly, this is a man who has suffered much. Or at least he seems to think so.]
I used to be someone. I had money, whatever Pokemon I desired, political connections, powerful friends... I had whatever I wanted. I had it all. And I could have had more. So much more. The Enhanced project would have made my life truly perfect. Something like this was never supposed to happen to someone like me.
[As he continues, it's very apparent that this fellow sincerely believes he's been dealt a bad hand, and that he doesn't deserve his current lot in life. It's a clear sense of entitlement by a greedy jerk who didn't know any better and didn't care.]
But now, I'm no one. I'm worse than no one. All I am now... is a freak!
[At that last word, the foliage surrounding the Enhanced finally drops, revealing his true form. It's easy to see how this could have once been a handsome man - his form lithe, features soft, hair long and flowing - but it is a form corrupted by the Enhancement process. Up close, it's easy to see that his skin is too pale, his body too thin and spindly... every feature has been warped and twisted into something as ugly on the outside as he is on the inside. And behind that fringe of white hair, a sickly purple light pulses in the middle of his forehead.]
Look at me now! Look at me! Is this what you expected to see? Is this a face you would be kind to?
[The man trembles, fists clenched at his side, eyes watching the group very carefully for their reactions.]
Friendly nerd interruption : voice
His name is Florian, and you may have guessed he is both poison and fairy types. He had volunteered due to ... a wish for a fairy typing.
Caution is recommended, as he is easily set off.
[ ... Which is why he's talking quietly, and hopefully a little more tactfully than "he was vain and wanted to be pretty like a fairy type". ]
no subject
The typing was really bad for him too. He sticks to the back and doesn't do anything, although he's ready to jump in if needed.]
no subject
[Really dumb.]
[Not such a big deal, is that seriously what you're making all this fuss about?]
[Kinda your fault, though?]
[The most self-important crap I've ever heard, and do you know how many lame noble parties I've been to?]
[...N-No wait, he's supposed to be saying things to make this NOT be a fight. Which is also very much the sensible thing to do with his typing.]
...n-no reason to be jerks to you, though? Like, is it that bad?
[...It kind of is.]
no subject
[Pointing out his mistake right now would have been a terrible idea anyway. That's not what they were here for.]
[Despite Florian's dramatic reveal, Eiji doesn't step back, not does he avert his eyes. Instead he tries to appear as welcoming as he can.]
Our offer to help you still stands.
no subject
As they said. Everyone is given a chance in Union, no matter what.
no subject
His attitude is utter crap, but there isn't much she can do about that.
Instead, she keeps her hand out, unmoving, meeting his gaze. Her expression doesn't change. If she's repulsed by him, it's impossible to say. She sighs a bit, like a mother might to a child who thinks they're in trouble but hasn't done anything wrong. ]
But you are still someone. Even after all that. That's what I see. Not a freak. A person, just like any of us here.
Our opinions don't change. We still want to help you, if you'll let us.
no subject
[He knows. He's seen the looks in peoples' eyes. His manner is still hesitant, and he spends a long few moments glancing from person to person before looking down to regard Elly's outstretched hand.]
You are all very strange people.
[There's something he isn't understanding here about kindness and compassion, likely because they aren't traits he possesses himself in any sort of abundance. Reaching back, he pulls the hood from his cloak over his head, wrapping it around him before slowly taking Elly's hand.]
But perhaps I can trust you.
[And at that moment, a single shaft of light breaks through the canopy, followed by another, and another, until the thorny underbrush has fully receded and the Forest Shrine returned to its usual splendor. Florian still can't abide the light, and he pulls his cloak tight as he bows his head and shields his eyes, but for now at least, his indignant rage has been pacified.]
