Who: Everyone!
Where: The newly discovered island
What: After recent events, the people of Union could use a bit of R&R. What better place than a tropical island?
Warnings: Drinks with little umbrellas in them, swimsuits, idek



An island paradise, discovered just off the southern coast, less than a day's travel from the city. A strong enough Pokemon could easily carry their partner and others out there. It was hard to say just who sent the original message, but pictures surfaced, with the tagline "Don't you wish you were here," came over the warp bands' feeds, and, like Venomoths to the flame, people began clamoring toward this new found tropical get-away. Those who wanted to go would find it easy enough--with so many people making their way to investigate, for whatever reason they claimed (but let's be honest, it was probably the beach), one could just hitch a ride.

The island itself appeared untouched by human contact. The Pokemon were strange and different compared to the fare immediately around Union. A warm breeze blew through palm trees, carrying the scent of hibiscus flowers. The water, blue as the summer sky, was warm and inviting.

This truly was a paradise.

[Erwin is an Adult, so he would never think to bother his be-robed comrade.

...Gunsmoke is not an Adult, though, and will go careening through the sand to leap onto Jade because friend!!!]

[antiseptic]

[There are so many ways one can react when one is rudely awakened from their peaceful nap by a slobbering Houndour possessing dubious levels of mental faculties.]

[Jade happens to choose the most violent way, instinctively lashing out with a Psychic blast as he reaches up to shove Gunsmoke off because what are friends!]

[thatwasnotmyintent]

[Gunsmoke probably SHOULD exhibit more keen defenses in the face of unexpected attacks -- but he's Gunsmoke. So he careens backwards and up into the air like so.

Fortunately, Erwin is right there to snatch his wayward Houndour out of the air. Like a boss.]

Good morning, sunshine.

[antiseptic]

[In the meantime, Jade props himself up into a sitting position and considers his attack just revenge for so many years of torment. It's too bad Gunsmoke will likely forget about it completely in the next few seconds.]

Ah, Commander.

[He stares at him, slow and deliberate, taking in the floral-patterned shirt that screamed vacation.]

I do hope I didn't injure your Houndour too badly.

[ :) ]

[thatwasnotmyintent]

[Yeah, by now Gunsmoke only remembers the exhilarating feeling of flying, of being free as a Pidgey, of -- omg it's Jade hi friend hi!!

Erwin looks down at the now-snorting/panting/whimpering wiggly bundle of Houndour in his arms with a...decidedly amused expression.] I think he'll survive.

I'm surprised to see you here, though.

[antiseptic]

[How many seconds was that? Less than one, possibly.]

I could say the same for you, Commander.

[And he directs another Look at the flowery garment.]

[thatwasnotmyintent]

[A new record in short-term Houndour memory, to be sure.]

Mmm. Everyone needs a vacation, now and then, right? [Erwin refuses to be shamed for his stylish and comfortable ensemble.]

[antiseptic]

Is it truly a vacation if you'd rather be working?

[thatwasnotmyintent]

What are you saying? You aren't enjoying the sun, sand and sea?

[antiseptic]

Oh, not at all. [He sighs, long and loud and completely fake.] I'm afraid it's simply impossible for me to relax.

[thatwasnotmyintent]

Perhaps you need some sort of medicinal aid, then. [Erwin's sarcasm is practically tangible.]

oh god sorry for the late

[antiseptic]

I'm afraid my current wages don't allow for such luxuries.

[ Jade, by contrast, sounds entirely serious. Well, as serious as he could sound when there's no hint of sadness or annoyance in his voice.]
