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.

More or less.

[indy_wannabe]

Good! In that case I'll race you to that sandbar over there!

[And off he goes!]

[ladyofluminosity]

What? Hey!

[Ezreal whyyyyy can she actually swim and keep this suit in tact? SHE'S GOING TO TRY.]

[indy_wannabe]

[Ezreal's not exactly gonna let her win, but he'll keep pace with her so she doesn't fall too far behind.]

[ladyofluminosity]

[Was he holding back? She could tell at least that much. If he was going to do that, she would just have to beat him.]

[indy_wannabe]

[Yeah that's not happening. If she looks like she's catching up he's picking up the pace]

[ladyofluminosity]

[And she will too, although that seems like a bit of a struggle. She's not about to lose--at least not without a fight!]

[indy_wannabe]

[Oh it's on. Full speed ahead!]

[ladyofluminosity]

[Yeah no, she's not keeping up with that. She's an occasional swimmer, and definitely not meant for long spurts of speed. When they do manage to get there--her arriving way after him--she's out of breath.]

[indy_wannabe]

[Ezreal's laughing]

Not bad! Not bad at all!

[ladyofluminosity]

I don't think. I've ever swam so much. All at once.

[That was exhausting, but she is laughing a bit, so that's a good sign.]

[indy_wannabe]

You've got pretty good form!

[ladyofluminosity]

Really? You think so?

[Well, Annabel thinks you two are SLOOOOOWPOOOOOKES. She's been here for, like, forever, and you guys just got here, so obviously she wins this race. Lux laughs.]

Annabel just declared herself winner. Too bad, Ezreal.

[indy_wannabe]

Well, I guess I can't say anything to that. Annabel beat us fair and square, flippers and ability to breathe underwater aside.

[ladyofluminosity]

Of course.

[Oh what, you wanna fight, scrawny? Do you? DO Y0U?

Yeah, didn't think so. She won fair and square. She's gonna splash Ezreal with her tail for good measure, though. Just to show him who's boss.]

[indy_wannabe]

Why do all your Pokemon do this kind of thing to me?

[ladyofluminosity]

[THAT WAS A CHALLENGE, TOOTHPICK. WANNA GO? HUH HUH HUH? YOU'LL EAT HER BUBBLES.]

I'm really not sure.

[She's laughing pretty hard.]

[indy_wannabe]

Are they always so aggressive?

[ladyofluminosity]

She's just playing.

[WUSS.]

[indy_wannabe]

Right. Playing.

[ladyofluminosity]

It's okay, Annabel, some people just can't handle a bit of teasing.

[Smirk.]

[indy_wannabe]

Wow Lux. I was wondering where they get it from but I think I know now.

[ladyofluminosity]

What do you mean by that?

[indy_wannabe]

You pretend to be a proper noble girl but I'd say you've got a bit of an attitude, admit it or not.

[ladyofluminosity]

I don't think I know what you're talking about.

[She is still smirking.]
