Something Psychic This Way Comes (Nightmare Catch-All)

[bravenewmods]

The people of Union have had an odd week. While it was nice to cap things off with the knowledge that Gigas is not going to try and invade them again (for now), the population has had to deal with a different sort of intruder. Namely, Abra. Abra teleporting anywhere and everywhere. Abra teleporting places to try and hide.

Absolutely terrified Abra. To say nothing of the dreams the city's Psychic-types have discussed.

And now, as a new week dawns...the nightmares spread to everyone. Without exception. Perhaps you're fortunate and things that go bump in the night don't frighten you, but sleeping brings a sense of dread, and a hazy vision of a world in ruins. Night after night after night. The first one is horrifying for shock value. The next few are horrifying because they won't stop.

How will you deal? Where will you go, in the middle of the night, if you're the sort who tries to clear their heads? Will you share what you've been experiencing or keep it to yourself?

No matter what you do, the nightmares continue. And the Abra continue to shiver.

[[ This is a catch-all post/mingle for people wanting to react to their weird nightmares! As mentioned here, they have now spread to the entire population. Players are welcome to continue making their own posts addressing the nightmares if they prefer. ]]

[Oh shit, there went that...pokemon. Uh.]

[He blinks comically at that for a moment before looking at Adell. At least the guy wasn't mad- then again, maybe getting into a fight would make him feel better. He's marginally disappointed.]

[When he asks about his typing he hefts out a sigh.]

Yeah. Did any of them catch you?

[The last thing he needed after being in Union for a few days is to catch one of its inhabitants on fire.]

[vulcanblazer]

[He smiles a bit, and then shakes his head.]

Nah, and even if they did, it's not like they'd burn a fellow Fire type. So we're cool.

[Fortunately, immolation and burns wouldn't be a problem here.]

[redpaladin]

[Oh. Well, that was good to know. He'd done enough damage today.]

Ah. I see. That's good.

[...Now what. This was a good time to exit the conversation, right? He should get going. He nods his head like he's about to leave when the pink rolly pokemon on his shoulder pulls on his hair.]

--Seki!

[She huffs at him and then points at Adell, seemingly scolding him. Something along the lines of ask him where to find the thing. He shushes her.]

You wouldn't happen to know of a place that's open right now that I could use to train, would you?

[vulcanblazer]

At this hour of night?

[He looked baffled at that question, but then again, he remembered that he was up too, even if it was because of a stupid nightmare.]

No, not really. Union doesn't tend to have a lot of training facilities open in the dead of night. The defense groups might have something, but I'm not sure they're public access.

[His Kirlia looked up to him and made a soft noise, tugging on his pant leg. Adell did seem to understand the gesture well enough to nod to his companion.]

If you're looking for some combat practice, though, I can offer. Guess a quick round to clear the head wouldn't go wrong.

[redpaladin]

[He was already starting to frown at his answer, though he can't help but look flustered at being called out for his weird request. See, Seki? This is why he doesn't usually bother trying to talk to people.]

[The offer catches him off guard, though. He pauses, considering it. He's used to training on his own but... well. It would be more effective to have a sparring partner he guesses.]

Sure. That's ...exactly what I was hoping to do, too.

[Seki claps. Yes, good.]
