Arrival
They were noticed a half hour before they arrived.
The Guardsmen atop the city walls, their keen senses trained to observe anything out of the ordinary, had not failed to observe the flight of birds disturbed from their nests and the distant shuddering of trees. The pace was steady. Not of wild Pokémon meandering about, but of something with fixed, determined purpose.
News spread quickly, as it ought. The Council was aware of the situation in five minutes flat, and the guard on the walls surreptitiously tripled in the same amount of time. It didn't take much longer for idle citizens to realize something was amiss, and as the rumors propagated -- There are people coming through the forest! -- so, too, did the number of people thronging at the gate craning their necks to get a look.
They emerge from the forest, their pace brisk and their numbers thirty strong. Many wear attire that is hardy, made for traveling - leather boots, thick wool pants, and long jackets in shades of deep crimson and black. Others, clearly of some higher rank, are clad in suits or other formal wear; a few wear pristine white coats that must have only just been changed. As they approach, most stare coolly upwards at the assembly gathered before them atop the walls of the city.
At their lead stands a man with a mild smile and shaggy red hair. Two others stand close beside him: a young woman in a crisp, fur-lined white coat, sleek black hair pristine and perfectly in place and a gentle smile on her face and an aloof woman with brown hair wearing a sharp suit who appears extremely disinterested in the proceedings.
The company pauses. And there is a long, awkward silence before the man with the red hair takes a step forward. He speaks, and his words, though understandable, have a strange, foreign inflection.
"My name is Rory Donnachaidh. We have come on behalf of our people to serve as a diplomatic presence to your city."
...Another awkward pause.
"...I believe it is appropriate to say - take us to your leader."
He smiles more broadly, as if he's made a joke.
---------
We are Team Evolution.
We represent a group of people with a common purpose - to restore humanity to the peaks it once ascended and to raise up all Pokémon alongside us. We call ourselves Team Evolution for the only path forward for both human and Pokémon is to evolve. When we realized that our signals could be detected no longer, our scouts reported that the reason was human sabotage. Imagine our surprise to learn that a human civilization lay so close to those mountains... But what do I say? You, of course, must all have experienced surprise in equal measures, no?
We have come here for reasons twofold: to establish relations with this city and to retrieve the materials that you have been holding for us. It was a prototype, you see, and we would wish to have it returned.
Of course, we understand that you have little reason to trust us and great reason to drive us away. We will not attempt to enter your city if that is preferred - but we will camp outside, between the forest and the gates, for the space of 10 days, after which we will depart, with or without our materials. We hope you will be willing to speak with us during this time. We would also like to... hold a demonstration to explain our actions, if you and your Council are willing.
Please, come and speak with us if you have any questions. That is an offer extended to anyone in your fine city. I shall personally ensure that any visitors are treated with the greatest of courtesies...
((For approximately 10 IC days, the people of Team Evolution will be camped outside of Union. The next part of this event will require sign-ups. There is an accompanying OoC post to this post here. Please see that post for more details.
Please feel free to use this IC post to talk with the NPCs. All responses here will receive an NPC response.))

He studies the strangers, not really sure what to make of them at first. After the excitement dies down a little, Jason feels it'll be okay if he approaches. He knows he's new to the Rangers, but he can't help but feel he should try his best to learn more about these people from so far away]
Hello. Welcome to Union...though I don't think I caught where you were from...only that it took awhile to get here.
[Piper takes that moment to fly down from the sky and land atop Jason's head as if it were a nest. She cocks her head to the side as only birds seem capable of doing and stares at the stranger intently.]
no subject
[He smiles at the welcome.]
We are from north - far to the north of your city. Several of my associates hail from a city called Gigas.
no subject
Jason takes in the name, though notes that Rory mentioned Gigas as if it was a city different from his own place of origin. Interesting, but he didn't want to delve into it with someone he'd only just met.]
Ah. I'd love to hear more about it. One of the reasons I became a Ranger was so I could find those far away places.
[Right, maybe before going into his dreams he should introduce himself.]
I'm Jason Grace. This is Piper. [He gestures at the bird.]
no subject
[Ever since Ky bowed to him, he's been doing the same to anyone who's been to visit, since apparently this is the custom.]
It is a pleasure.
What can I do for the two of you?
no subject
Jason raises his head again, eyes sparking with curiosity.]
I guess we were just curious to hear more about the place you all came from. We can tell you more about Union if you like. I know one way to establish trust is to simply learn more about one another, right?
no subject
[He seems willing enough to respond, although...]
If you wish to hear more of Gigas, it may be best to ask another of my associates. I myself hail from a separate settlement - no longer in existence.
As for Team Evolution, we have several bases. I am often sent out on missions, so my time in these areas is also limited, but they do contain living quarters as well.
no subject
[And he does sound sincere about that. He knew what it was like to not have a father...but to lose your entire settlement? That was just too much. Jason is at least aware enough not to poke further into THAT particular story. Not when he's only just met this man.]
So you guys are focused on exploration too. That's what I want to do and is one of the Ranger's duties. We spend a lot of time out of Union. We also help Trainers if they need it in the woods surrounding Union and do a lot with the pokemon around here.
What are your missions like? I heard you mention something about raising Pokemon's powers and evolving them...
no subject
Ah, think nothing of it. It was a long time ago.
The bulk of our team is not focused on exploration, but that is the particular capacity in which I work, yes. That particular mission with the machines placed in the mountains - that was a scientific endeavor, headed by a separate branch of our team.
no subject
[Separate cities, multiple teams. He was learning a lot, but at the same time it still felt like only the tip of the iceberg when it came to Team Evolution.]
So is the science portion the bigger endeavor?
no subject
I would say we are a sizable team - though perhaps not the size you're imagining now. Certainly we don't number as many as your city.
