[Good evening, citizens of Union. Tonight you are graced with seeing Umi again! And she's back in the city! It's truly a miracle. She's apparently in a section of the habitat for water type pokémon.]

I've returned from my trip to the swamp, and it was...eventually successful.

[To prove her point, she holds up a shiny Skrelp, and it's a good thing she's wearing gloves, because it's drooling all over her hand.]

...is there anyone who has experience with a Pokémon with a drooling problem? He doesn't seem to stop.

[Private to Maki]

Now that I'm back in the city, I recall that you were interested in learning some basic stretches and exercises, right? If you're still interested, I'm available now.

Haruka's Dream

[ Look at Haruka. Now back to you. Now back to Haruka, now back to you. What's that she's wearing? That's right, it's a bright blue racing jumpsuit. Its durable expanses fill your vision as you stare across her broad shoulderblades.

Look down at yourself. You're wearing one too. The color depends on how much of a jerk your unconscious mind has decided to be, but that's hardly the most important thing right now, because a Bulbasaur off to one side has just fired off a Bullet Seed with a loud "pop" and now you find yourself lurching forward.

It's another day at the races. And you're on a Rhyhorn. ]

Vulpix's Dream

[ Throne rooms are hard to come by in these more enlightened times, but there's no mistaking this setting for anything else: the red carpet lined with flickering torches, culminating in a broad set of steps and a chair with an extremely luxurious cushion upon it, leaves little to the imagination. At the top of the steps, Haruka's Machoke and Spritzee flank the carpet, bowing deeply; on either side of the chair, a Mr. Mime fans the chair's occupant while Super Beauty the baby Rhyhorn stands still for once, a platter full of Berries resting atop her broad head. Oddest of all, Ferrari the Nidoran crouches in servility at the foot of the chair. Oh, his Queen! His marvelous Queen!

Atop the chair, the world's most beautiful Vulpix gives a dainty yawn. Mr. Mime selects a Berry for her and places it in her mouth. Life is so dull when you're the top at everything. ]

[[ooc: There's a trick to Vulpix's dream! Anyone who sets foot on the steps and beyond will find themselves madly in love with Vulpix and burning to swear fealty to her. Feel free to use her dream as a mingle post so unaffected people can deal with trying to get their brainwashed friends off the stairs. You can "fix" the dream by convincing Vulpix this setup is a bad idea, but....good luck. ]]

[VIDEO -- 10/18]

[Cordelia was called into HQ early that morning, like most of the rangers were. After a large piece of Union came up missing in one night, they were prepped to initiate an immediate response to figure out why, searching various known areas. They had a day to prepare, but instead of gathering her supplies, Cordelia took to the air waves.]

At least two men from my division are missing. Robin and Peter Parker. [She pauses, taking a breath, closes her eyes briefly, and continues.] Robin was last seen last night at his residence, and Peter at the Rangers Headquarters. Neither were present at this morning's check-in.

Divisions 1--my division--4, and 8 will be leaving Union tomorrow morning to begin investigations; 2, 7 and 9 will be staying in Union to act as support to the Seekers, Swords of the Savior and Guard; and divisions 3, 5 and 6 will be on standby and will dispatch as more information becomes available.

Those affected by the disappearances last night, please respond. We are trying to compile an active list of people missing, so that we can better assess the situation. If you know anything about the whereabouts of those missing before their disappearance, please contact us. Thank you.

[ACTION; RANGER HQ -- 10/18]

[In the day she has in Union, Cordelia is scrambling. Obviously deeply affected by her partner's disappearance, she does her best to try to hide it by staying as busy as possible. She can be seen either trying to process Peter's paperwork, working the stables, or preparing supplies for the various search parties.]

[DREAM WORLD -- 10/18-10/31]

[When Cordelia does manage to sleep, her dreams are a bit more erratic than usual. While some do fall under the very mundane--going through routines with a few oddities sprinkled in--this disappearances have triggered a bit of fear in her, drudging up old memories. Stranger still, even if the events and times don't line up, a certain white-haired tactician seems to show up a fair bit.

OOC: Feel free to start a thread, mention whether you want something more normal for the dream log, a bit more traumatic, or if you want me to randomize it.]

[ Melaka Fray is not sure she's into the whole coming of the Soulfasting. The idea of the dead being close just... makes her uncomfortable with the dead people that she has behind her. Particularly her brother. Still, life goes on and in light of that, she's probably ought to get a gift for her older sister in the Swords. They haven't spoken in about three months now, but all the same...

As such, Melaka, despite being a Ranger is sort of putzing around the Swords's main officers, as if deciding if she wants to go in or not . . .

But later in the day, she's out on the town with two of her problem children. Specifically, she's out here on the town with Gunther the Jigglypuff and Willow the Gloom. Gunther is out here to get closer with her, because it does feel like they've been doing things independent for a while, and when she shoots the warp band at him, she senses the guys's confidence that he knows the market here even better than her - the best masks, the candies... But yeah. Jigglypuff with an unlit cigar in his mouth he's chewing on, and glasses on.

Willoq the Gloom though is ... well she smells and is growing moss on her head, but aside from some slight bickering with hte other, she's out here to try to see if there are any spirits of the former Legionaries out and about now, this fog did feel like there ought to be. Oh, and could Mel take her and several others out on a moss rock trip later? And... sigh.

And they will, with a much larger chunk of Melaka's team. If you want that too.

So layman's terms: Run into Melaka around the Swords HQ (but not inside of it), Shopping with a quirky Gloom and a posh Jigglypuff, or going out to the Moss Rock. This might include a much larger group of pokémon ]

[Over the bands today, there's...well, a little bit of noise. Like someone's desperately trying to figure out how to work something and kind of failing at it.

After a few moments, the video blips on - to reveal a large brown eye, the pupil slit vertically.]

C'mon, is this thing working now...?

[There's a hint of frustration in his voice as he speaks, but soon enough the owner of the eye seems to realize that he's actually working it properly. With a light 'oh', the point of view zooms out from the eye, showing that a scowling teenager was in possession of it all along.

The first thing someone would notice is the hair - bright orange and shaggy, with a high ponytail that trails from behind him to over a shoulder. It doesn't seem too strange...except that every now and then, the ponytail hair seems to move as one mass...and right when the camera jiggles, too. Weird.

It's also possible to see that the clothes he's wearing would look slightly familiar to anyone who's used to how the members of the Kurain school dress.]

Alright, listen. I just got here, so...I've got some questions.

One: What's with all the decorations? Is the city normally like this, or is something going on?

Two: The guy who I met before mentioned that I'd have to find someplace to stay, but...How do I do that? I mean...I can just go back to the forest. It's not a big deal.

Three: Are there any other pokemon that suddenly became human like me? ...I'm gonna need pointers on how this 'human' thing works.

[There's a pause after he says that, shifting his gaze away from the band. ...He doesn't turn his head (in fact, he's been remarkably stiff the entire time, not moving his head one inch), but he looks away all the same. After a moment, he breaks the silence - although in a much softer, less matter-of-fact tone than what he used before.]

...And, uh...Is it normal to remember that you died once? I...

[He trails off, then closes his eyes - a complicated expression flitting across his face.]

...Never mind. Forget it.

[And off goes the feed.]

2.

[People in the city might find that odd looking teen from before wandering around, without any rhyme or reason. His movement is incredibly stiff - his knees don't bend once as he walks around, and his arms stay locked in place where they're hidden by the folds of his clothing.

He's wearing a male Kimono, the undershirt and Hakama a dark brown-with a peculiar kind of haori on top. Two circles on the shoulders, the inside of them cut so that the undershirt shows. On the back of the haori, another circle lies between his shoulder blades, right in the center of his back. There's an intricate, cream colored design on it, looping around and coming up to the collar of the undershirt. All in all, it resembles something rather familiar...

There's also his hair - which, if someone noticed...they'd see that his warp band is tied around his ponytail, near the end of it. You'd think it'd slide off, but it seems to stay on without any problems. Is it because the hair moves all at once, instead of individual strands like normal hair?

At any rate, Ichigo is firmly checking around the city - getting to know his new surroundings, like he had when he'd woken up in the forest a little over two weeks ago. Things are...different from the outside, and he roams around nearly everywhere, not staying very long in one place.

It's possible you might run into him, but...well, actually running into him would be slightly unpleasant. It's like running into a wall. Then again...he's really not paying attention to where he's going.

At all.]

Sheesh, its been boring here lately. How can any of you stand it?

[The Warp Band feed shows Sho looking bored out of his mind. And a bored Sho usually meant some sort of chaos was going to happen in the near future.]

And what's with all of this stuff? [To punctuate his point, he flicks a decoration, making it wobble dangerously.]

Action

[Normal people would use the walkways like everyone else. The paths existed for a reason after all. But Sho didn't care much for such things. As of right now, he was just leaping between buildings and getting around that way. Down below, his Houndour Kagutsuchi trotted along easily and in no rush at all to keep up. They always found each other in the end anyway so he saw no reason to fret.

Coming to a stop on one roof, Sho looks around briefly, makes a bit of a disgruntled sound and leaps into the street below, not bothering to check if he almost landed on someone or not.]

So. Um.

[See Eren. See Eren on Warp Band. See Eren with a very large, four-winged bat draped over him and, coincidentally, taking up most of the frame. She seems quite content. Squished in next to Eren is Fig the sigilyph, poofed up and sleeping]

I have a problem. And my problem is Rosa, here. She evolved and I guess I didn't know how freakin huge Crobats were. She refuses to stay at the habitat, so what I'm trying to say is that I need a bigger apartment. Does anyone know of somewhere I can afford on a Ranger's budget? Or if anyone has a house and is looking for a room mate and a few clingy house pokémon... [he rolls his eyes]

Oh, Maya. I'm going to bring the baby Litwick for you to look after for a while, is that ok? I don't want her to grow up thinking she's not a ghost or something... Or to grow up attached at the hip to me like some pokémon.

[he glances at Fig, who tweets in his sleep and cuddles up closer]

Savior, there's barely any room to breathe in here!

[01-Around the park]

[For anyone wandering the park today, they might stumble across a Purrloin. Said Purrloin also happens to be wearing a two different, shiny necklaces that are way too big for it, as well as a ring upon the end of its tail. If one isn't paying attention and happens to have something shiny--or just something laying around, even--this Dark-type pokemon may just snatch it up! All the while looking cute and innocent, of course. Perhaps your character has had something stolen? Or maybe even this "innocent" pokemon is being caught in the act of stealing, either from someone else or even you! Either way, feel free to make up any sort of situation involving this kleptomaniac!]

[02-Anywhere in Union]

[Around a similar time period, there would be a disgruntled Jolteon going around town, a boisterous little Wingull perched atop its head. For anyone that could understand pokemon, the Wingull would be trying to direct the Jolteon to either talk to various passerbys or to search in some place or other for something that is apparently lost. For those that could not understand pokemon, it would simply seem that the Wingull might be squawking at you while the other pokemon tries to pass by unnoticed.]

[Either way, said electric-type did not seem entirely pleased about the situation.]

I did it!

[Today there is a small child looking proud of himself in the feed of the Warp Band. Lucas doesn't use this very often... Technology is still something he's a little bit wary of, but he's got something important to say today...]

Um. It's Lucas! Probably not many people remember... but a few months ago, I was talking about how we could make clothes for people who didn't have enough in the winter, right? Anyway, you were right; it just wouldn't be good enough as clothing.

So I've been learning to sew... And during the summer, I made friends with a Cottonee and a Mareep! We came up with a really good idea together!

Ta-da!

[Lucas thrusts forward what seems to be some sort of abomination wool/cotton sweater with zigzagging green thread running all over. In the background, a partially shaved Mareep and Cottonee can be seen huddling together for warmth while a Leavanny yawns with an amused expression on its face.]

I call it... FuzzyFriends (TM)! The inside is lined with cotton and the outside is 100% wool! It keeps you so warm that I passed out the first time I wore it for longer than six hours! It takes about two weeks for the wool and cotton to grow back, so... I mean I won't be able to make a lot, but if anyone else has Pokemon like these, I bet we can make more! Right now, it's only --

[Lucas consults a calendar.]

...October 7th?!

[.....................................]

Um.

Ah, so - t-this is the FuzzyFriends (TM) Fleece! And, um, the first person who doesn't have enough warm clothing can have it for free! So... feel free to ask...!

We'll... still be here. Working on a faster invention......

[Action; Verdant Forest]

[Anyone traveling in the Verdant Forest today may happen upon Jinxie in the midst of trying to train one of her Pokemon. Trying being the operative word here.]

It's okay, Grace... here, try again.

[Jinxie walks over to help her poor clumsy little Mienfoo up off the ground. Also there is Swag the Scrafty, wearing sunglasses and leaning up against a tree trying to look cool. He's here for moral support, which means lowering his shades every so often to wink at Grace and Jinxie and mostly just not being very helpful at all. Anyone who watches for any amount of time will see Grace stumble and trip and fall and crash into trees while trying to perform flying kicks, interspersed between awkward but well-meaning pep talks from Jinxie and the occasional flirtatious gesture from Swag. These Pokemon have no idea what they're doing at all.]

[Video]

[Eventually, they break for the day, and Jinxie decides to take her problem to the airwaves. She does wait until Grace is out of earshot, though, to spare the poor thing's feelings.]

Um... I need some help. What do you do when you're trying to train a Pokemon that doesn't really seem to be getting any better at anything? She's learning new moves and stuff, but... she's really clumsy, and I don't know what to do. I've always been bad with Fighting types, but I really want to try to help this time. Does anybody have any advice?

[Option 1: Video]

So you know what this kind of weather is totally the best for?

[Hot new boots! Well, that too, but he's focused on something else right now.]

Mushroom hunting! I saw a ton of mushrooms while I was checking out those new islands, but Jadwiga kept keeping me from trying to eat them, I guess 'cause they weren't a kind we knew so they might have been poisonous or whatever.

[No big, right?]

Anyway, we should so go out in the forest around here and see what we can find! I bet there's a ton of berries right now, too...

[Option 2: Action]

[Now that he's back from his adventure on the Archipelago, the weather is striking Feliks as more fall-like than it was before he left. And the change of seasons means shopping.]

[So he's hitting the town, all dolled up like a noble girl, with endless petticoats and a ribbon in his hair, flitting from shop to shop. Feel free to bump into him anywhere in the shopping district, but especially around the fashion boutiques!]

Ah, I admit, it feels absolutely wonderful to be myself again.

[In her arms is not just her Dratini, but also a tiny little Horsea, the latest addition to Ami's pokemon family. Behind her a Noctowl is preening and her Luxio, as always sits in her lap.]

With that in mind, I am currently doing some research for school and would like to ask a particular question.

Now that I've been restored to my proper form and abilities, [Those that know her might wonder about what she means "abilities." Oh does she have news for you.] I would like to offer my services to help teach pokemon how to swim. It's come to my attention that many pokemon here in Union need help with the initial instructions and motions in water.

The experiment itself will be completely observational as they learn to swim and I ensure that no harm will come to your pokemon.

Lessons to those who do not know how to swim in general are also available if you wish to join me and your pokemon in the water.

My Dratini, Socrates and my Horsea, Galileo will be assisting me with the lessons.

[VIDEO]

[There are a few false starts, the video coming on for a second or two, focusing on a face, before going off again. After the third or fourth time that this happens, the camera pulls away, a young woman staring at the world with a bit of a perplexed look.]

Is this on? How can you tell? Is there a light or--

Oh!

[It looks like she's found it.]

There we go. My name is Elhaym, Elly for short. This is what people in Union use to communicate, right? It seems pretty convenient. What else is it used for? Does everyone in Union have one, or just the Enlightened? Are Enlightened really that common here?

[That's a lot of questions, Elly. She smiles a little at the camera.]

Sorry, I just got here a few days ago, and I have a lot of questions. I heard that people in Union "bond" with their Pokemon? How does that work? Oh, and speaking of work, how does one find work here?

[ACTION]

[Midday, one of the parks in Union. A redhead walks briskly like a woman on a mission, avoiding looking behind her as much as possible. Occasionally she'll glance back, make a bit of a face, and then continue to walk with her head down a bit. She looks like she is trying to get away from something, but what could it be?]

Reee?

[It's a Mareep, tailing her, doing the best that it can with its stubbly little legs to keep up with the woman. Hey, where are you going? Excuse me? Miss? Excuse me? You're going to get yourself lost! Excuuuuuuse me!

Stopping, the woman sighs hard, bending down as she puts a hand out, stopping the electric sheep in its tracks.]

Why are you following me? I don't know what you want, I can't understand a word you're saying?

Maree?

[The Mareep tilts its head to the side and Elly deflates a little. You're really cute, but what does she even do? A little help?]

underwearfortomorrow

[At first, the only thing that can be seen is a close up of a pair of beady black eyes The camera moves and a voice can be heard off screen.]

Hina! Is it working, you think?

Fletch!

[Finally the voice comes into view- and it's a strangely clad enlightened. If the horns and scales didn't make him stand out, then the weird non-matching patterns, beads, scarves, and colors sure would. There's a fluttering of wings and the Fletchling that was in view earlier is now perching on his shoulder.]

I don't recall the warp bands having this function before I left Union the last time, so I hope this is working. Ah- hello! My name is Eiji and it's been some time since I was last in Union. Would anyone mind telling me what I've missed?

I believe it's been ...about eight months. Also, I'm looking for some part-time work. If anyone has any suggestions I would be very grateful. Thank you!

[Action]

[Eiji can be found just about anywhere. He tends to like quiet places, but he can also be found wandering densely populated areas for the sake of looking around and finding out what's changed in the last few months. The one place he probably tries to avoid is the more upper class areas. He's more likely to be recognized there, after all.]

[Also- if you have food or berries out, Hina might try to swipe them when you're not looking. SORRY. She's not always the most behaved of tiny birds.]

roadroller

[a bit of mumbling and shaky camera at first while a pair of melodious (and slightly tinny) voices chatter amongst themselves. As it's a somewhat dark room, it's hard to make out where in Union they are.]

We're doing it now, Len! Smile for the camera! ♪

Do I have to? ♫

Yeah yeah. Look, just sit there and look cute, I'll do the talking! ♪

Rin!! Don't call me cute, I'm a man! ♫

Heh heh~ ♪

[Refusing to acknowledge the protest, "Rin" finally sets the video in a place where two twins can be seen... identical, except for their gender. Strange, but you've seen stranger things, right? Anyway, they nevertheless have cute, smiling faces, and the girl talks as agreed, though she seems a bit nervous for a brief moment.]

Um... Nice to meet you! I'm Rin Kagamine, and this is my twin, Len - we're 14 years old, and this is...! (Drumroll please!)

[Len double takes realizing she's talking to him seriously, then with the flattest look ever, he complies, drumrolling with the first stick-like objects he managed to find nearby. Rin fistpumps dramatically.]

The Kagamine's super big Union☆Reunion Debut! Yay! ♪

[The boy glances around nervously, and she pauses awkwardly after that, rubbing her neck. She obviously just made that up on the spot.]

Umm, well, with things how they are I thought the best way to introduce ourselves would be with a song. This is the story of a world after death...

[She signals to Len, who reluctantly nods at her.]

( They begin to sing 'Heaven and Hell.' )

[After the song, they're both grinning happily, looking a lot more confident and talkative.]

...So, that's kinda what happened? ♪

Apparently this is the first time we've been awake in a few centuries, so we're reaaaally hungry. You should all give us some snacks! ♫

Success!

[Yuui is standing in the middle of a very chaotic kitchen, grinning triumphantly with his hair in complete disarray and pretty much looking like the chef version of the mad scientist after an extremely explosive experiment. Interestingly enough with all the mess around him the only part of it that seems to have ended up on Yuui himself, with the exception of his apron, are some streaks of flour on his cheeks and hair.]

Everyone. As some of you may know Mr Sunshine here- [The feed shifts for a moment to show a Houndoom who is clearly not impressed with Yuui's antics .] -is one of my brother's special pokémon friends. In fact, he was one of the first one he bounded with and we all love him dearly. What we're less fond about it being woken up by his rather toxic breath in the mornings. But today I, after a... few failed attempts, have figured out a solution. Well, sort of a solution. Anyway, what I have figured out is a special dish containing certain ingredients which work with the toxins in his stomach to create a slightly less awful smell, while still being delicious. I mean, it's not lilies and roses but it's still a definite improvement. There are no ill affects, and he can still breath fire but I can't say for certain that it's of the exact same quality as before, but I'm going to have my brother find that out for me later.

[Breathe!]

I'm not sure if anyone else have experienced a similar problem with their Houndoom friend but if you have I don't mind sharing the knowledge. It might need to be tweaked a little depending on your pokémon's tastes though. Mr Sunshine likes spicy things so at the moment it's tailored for that.

On the downside this means that I need a new project to keep myself occupied until I find I job I like. So if you happen to know of any pokémon with a similar-ish problem which might be solved by a more specialized diet, and don't mind some false starts, let me know? Or if you'd just like some food and/or recipes specialized for a certain pokémon's specific tastes and needs, I guess.

[Actually, thinking about it now...]

I'm not really sure if there's a proper market for these things but if enough people wants it I suppose I might be able to make some kind of business out of it? Huh.

toxicrevenger

[When Pamela appears on the warp band, there’s a baby Dratini sitting on her lap. With a gentle touch to her new Pokemon’s face, she guides her to look toward the warp band.]

There we go. This is Morning Glory and she just hatched earlier today. Although that’s actually not what I’m here to announce.

[But like a proud trainer/Poke-mom, she made that announcement first.]

I have two projects that the council has recently approved that I’ll need help with. One project will involve going to Caldera and fortifying the agriculture within the city walls. We’ll be turning the upper floors of one building the Calderan authorities have approved for this purpose into something like our agricultural tower here, and transporting fertile soil from the Verdant Forest for growing crops indoors. We’ll also be digging to check for untapped groundwater, so we’ll need Engineers, Delvers, and people to help with general labour.

[She pauses briefly, giving everyone a moment to digest that information before she continues.]

The second will be a project right here in Union to clean up the city. It will be a two-stage project, first cleaning up trash and graffiti and taking care of any minor repairs to public equipment that have fallen by the wayside. The second stage will involve setting up flowerboxes and planters throughout the city and beautifying Union. The Isley family will be supplying all the flowers for this initiative.

[And anyone who was at Pamela’s birthday party in July has seen how impressive the Isley gardens are. How could someone who loves plants as much as she does allow for anything else than a perfect display of nature’s beauty?]

Your help with either of these projects would be greatly appreciated.
