W-W-Wait!! Not so fast! Slow down! I-I'm gonna fall off!

[ It's a little hard to see given the up and down motion, but it's pretty clear Maki is not on her own two feet. Instead, she's riding the green-back of a Skiddo, her first Pokemon that she actually bonded with on her own that wasn't from an egg. She somehow got convinced to let him take her for a ride, but she had no idea just how intense it would be for a girl who was more used to proper tea parties and fancy ballroom dances. ]

L-Look out! I can't stop--!!

[ And so the video cuts off as Maki and her Skiddo suddenly find themselves crashing into a cart full of fruit, breaking apart the wooden cart with a deafening crack! ]

action;

[ Maki and her Skiddo are going to be crashing around the city, a cat atop of a goat. She's trying to get a hang of riding one, but it's not going well. Her Skiddo prefers to charge at things in his path, rather than go around. Because apparently that's no fun.

At the same time she has a reason for being out on her Skiddo, planning on trying to learn how to ride it so she can go see Nozomi to speak about certain...personal problems. ]

[The video feed opens up to a scene of a teenage girl out in the Rolling Plains, standing there looking extremely confused as she stares at something off the screen with wide eyes. Small feline hands adjust the camera to get it to zoom out a bit, and the source of Yakumo's befuddlement becomes quite apparent. And she's not the only one. A Pikachu and a Breloom are gaping right beside her, and a baby Riolu seems to actually be hiding behind one of her pant legs.

All this because her Drilbur, Ishihara? Has evolved! And unlike the cuddly, cute, super friendly little Pokemon she'd met before...Excadrill is decidedly rougher looking. Shiny, sharp, newly pointy bits stick out all over and the Pokemon looks extremely proud of itself. The change is jarring, and apparently Iori has decided to broadcast it to everyone with a Warp Band.

The girl takes a tentative step closer...and the Excadrill seems to sense her unease and tries smiling. It's awkward, given it's fearsome appearance though, but it seems to help. And it's about then that Yakumo notices what the Meowstic is up to and practically jumps out of her skin!]

Oh! Oh! Iori, you...

[A pleased purr follows, and Yakumo reaches out and picks up the Warp Band. Since she's got an audience, she figures she may as well go ahead and ask the question that's on her mind.]

Um...does...anyone know how to take care of Pokemon like this? I...haven't got a lot of experience with anything like an...Excadrill. And I'm not really sure how to keep him happy. He seems...[She swallows, offering the Pokemon an awkward smile...] a lot different.

Also...do...Pokemon's personalities change much, after an evolution?

[Because this is a pretty intense looking Pokemon...]

umiiroshoujo

[Once again, it seems like one of Umi's Pokémon has appropriated her Warp Band. It's not Kaori this time though, as the Gardevoir is next to her. There's a weird cooing noise though, which is the Altaria version of a giggle for those who've heard one before. The view pans around Umi as the Altaria flies around.

But back to Umi. She's singing and dancing. Her Gardevoir dances alongside her as they're both blissfully unaware of the fluffy bird Pokémon's antics. Anyone will recognize that she's in the habitat, and the reason why is quickly made apparent as a shimmering (the video may not be in color, but for anyone who's seen a normal Skrelp or Dragalge, they can see the color is off.) Dragalge leaps out of the water, and when he splashes and reemerges...he's sort of dancing, too. In a weird, leafy seahorse dance type of thing. At least he keeps up with the beat ~~and not drooling for once in his life~~.

This goes on until the song is over, at which point the Warp Band is set down and turned off before Umi even figures out what just happened.]

honokairo

Who: The Love Live! Girls, anyone who lives at Hikawa Shrine, and anyone leaving and entering the shrine! And stalkers. There are stalkers.
What: Practice for performing on stage! Their first practice ever.
When: Sometime in the afternoon, after school is over.
Where: Hikawa Shrine, Union.
Summary: Honoka has finally managed to amass a group of people to get together as a little musical group to perform. They are going to try to practice together for the first time, and that could go any number of ways.

"Hello everyone!" She shouts once all the girls who she expected to come to practice arrive. "I wasn't sure where we could practice, but I'm so glad Rei let us come here and use the courtyard! So!"

She stands, feet at shoulder width, in front of the girls, looking determined as ever.

"We'll do some singing first! And after a little break, we'll try dancing! Someone will need to clap for us to keep time, but we can alternate who does that so everyone gets to practice dancing. And then! We can get something to eat when we're done! If there's someone you don't know, get to know them a little bit before we begin our practice!"

"Okay! Let's start!"

[Video]

[The video on the warp band turns on with a bit of pecking and feathers, showing Nico, lined up with several of her pokemon - a Marill and Jigglypuff to each side, then outside of them her Skiploom and Shroomish. The location? The Flower Grove, which is despite the season, still enjoying full bloom, all pink and green just like her pokemon. Clearly, this was staged, and the reason why becomes clear]

Music... start!

[Some pre-recorded music starts and soon enough, Nico is singing and dancing to a (less electric guitar-heavy version of) this (click under Audio to listen). Her dancing and singing is light and energetic, but obviously she's been practicing it for a while. Her pokemon... well, Shroomish is doing well, but Skiploom and Marill seem to get distracted every now and then before remembering to dance along - and Jigglypuff seems to keep tripping over itself in nervousness. Still, they make it through the entire song without any major disasters and at the end they all pose.

Once the music fades out, Nico turns to her pokemon with a smile.]

See? You all did great!

[She kneels down to pet and praise them a bit before remembering the warp band, which she hurries over to.]

Hi~! Is this reaching all the way to everyone in Union? It's everyone's favorite Nico-ni~ I hope you liked my song, and now that I have your attention, I have an important question to ask...

[Reaching behind the camera she pulls out... what's clearly a masterpiece of crayon on construction paper.]

Has anyone seen one of these? Nico-ni's been searching for weeks now after hearing a rumor there was one here, but there hasn't been a single sign of it! You'd think it'd be easy to spot when everything else here is so pink...

[Action]

[And if anyone's visiting out by the Flower Grove, they might run into Nico - alternately taking snack breaks with her pokemon, practicing singing and dancing or, y'know, actually searching for pokemon like she came here to do - sneaking through the underbrush, crawling through the grass, climbing trees, all that stuff. And probably looking pretty silly doing it.]

honokairo

Video:

[She figures not everyone knows her name (most probably don't) so here she is again, introducing herself-]

Hi everyone! I'm Honoka Kousaka, from Caldera! I came to Union a while ago, and I wasn't sure what I would find, but what I did find was...

Singing! And dancing! And that makes people happy! [Guess who's seen some shows and went to the charity concert.]

I'm not very good, but I've been practicing. I have a Jigglypuff who's been giving me lessons, and she scolds me sometimes for messing up, but I've been working hard! And maybe one day, a bunch of us can do the same thing together.

I want to know if anyone else likes to do that too!

Action:

[Honoka can be found out in Union in various places. Idol training is hard! And Jigglypuff is making her run. She looks worn out and is whining a little about it, but she's still trying.

Later, there's dance lessons...those are going alright, but then she's not exceptionally talented at it either. It's obvious if you happen across their path.

And at the end of the day, singing lessons, right outside too- and Honoka sounds okay, but that Swellow that's with them trying to sing along is horrific!]

[video:]

Oh good! Everyone is home now!

[As for Rin, someone just got back from a quick adventure outside before returning to Union in the early morning. Some might remember her from that concert where she had to sing to Darkrai. And well... That went well?]

Hope everyone got back safely and stuff like that! Dakrai was scary nya... [Her Leipard, Chocho, pat her tail on Rin, point to something off screen which got Rin to look.] The day? What day is- Eh?! It's that day already?!

Talk about timing! Kayochin, I'll see you tonight! I got to get stuff ready! Bye bye!

[And a quick feed off. Happy birthday, Rin.]

[action: open to all; all around union]

[With so many people returning, it's the rush of getting back to the normal groove and with Soulfesting preparations, some got to finish now or never. Rin, however, is running around the city with her Pigdeot, Hitmonchan, and Liepard. Each of them is holding bags of snacks, ingredients, and other stuff. You might want to stop her rush before she ends up dropping all of those or run into someone.]

[action: locked to hanayo; rin's house]

[It's always been a tradition between these two to have sleepovers on birthdays and since Rin turned sixteen on her arrival home, she went everywhere to get stuff ready. She even brought all of her Pokémon friends, even the Habitat stayers, home with her. A big dinner of snacks, ramen, and rice with various side dishes. The house is far from crowded at all with all the Pokémon, everyone is spread out evenly and playing together.

Now to wait for her best friend to come over.]

[Ladies and gentlemen that wander through fantasies in these unlucky days, welcome to Kotori Minami's dream!

Sugar is in the air tonight. Every step into this realm is filled with the persistent tender aroma of candy and sweets but that makes sense, doesn't it? after all you fell into a world made out of candy populated by small pokemon which walk around and, sometimes, take a bite out of the sweet architecture around them. Who could blame them? it really looks delicious! to be honest it's hard to not take one bite yourself!

You may notice that everything seems incredibly big, too, but that has a simple explanation: everyone who enters this realm becomes smaller up to the size of a regular swablu. Who would have thought that those wandering Blaziken could be so big?]

Delicious~!

[And the owner of this strange fantasy sits on the top of the gingerbread man statue while eating an impressive sized green macaron, her outfit a bit different today just like the fact that two cotton like wings are visible from her back.

Same bird, different world.]

ooc: Kotori's dream! enjoy being really small, seeing random pokemon and running around a literal candyland. Feel free to tag.

nicocism

[Is Union's most ~~desperate~~ talented up-and-coming idol dreaming about life on the stage? Not tonight, she isn't... no, tonight's menu is a trio of fairy-type tales:]

[A. Cyndaquilla]

[Here's Nico, so covered in soot from working day in and day out that they compare her to a cynadquill (yet still the prettiest one around of course), lamenting her misfortune to be trapped in such a mean household.]

All day I work, yet even after everything I've done, they still won't let me go to the dance party! Boo hoo, won't anyone take me away?

[Those sure are some crocodile tears as she hams this up for what it's worth]

[B. The Knight, the Princess and the Dragon-Type]

[Out of the cave comes rumbling a fearsome Hydreigon, three heads snapping. Before them, their hapless sacrifice: a beautiful ~~idol~~ princess tied to a stake, no chance of escaping them!]

Kyaaa! Save me!

[Are you a gallant knight come to rescue her? Or perhaps a wizard or a rogue? But before she can be reached, the dragon turns on her and unleashes a powerful dragon pulse right at her, blasting everything away in harsh blue light! And all that remains is charred ashes... and Nico, standing completely unscathed?]

Haha, didn't you know dragons can never beat magic!

[Oh right, she's part fairy-type.]

Take this!

[That... that sure was a big, pink heart beam she shot at the Hydreigon... and it's super effective.

Did she really need a knight to begin with?]

[C. Queen of Darkness-types]

[And in a complete reversal of roles, have Nico, not in rags, not in torn princess dress, but in full ~~skanky~~ sexy leather with thigh-high boots and shoulder-length gloves that have all the material her tiny top and shorts don't ~~showing that she is the Etna of succubi as far as curves are concerned~~, sitting atop a huge, black throne in the flame lit hall. Completing the look are horns, wings, a tail and poor Kara, her murkrow, perched at her side, giving a few ominous caws while wondering why the heck does she have to play along with this?]

Now, kneel before me! Kneel, and I might spare you!

[Nico has the worst fantasies.]

[OOC: As a note, Nico may ~~finally~~ make use of some of her enlightened powers - as it stands, she can minorly/temporarily charm or otherwise emotionally manipulate people (think Charm or Fake Tears and the like).]

So...what's going on? ♫ [Len's already hopped between worlds a few times, but he was a little to wary to do anything...yet. That's soon to change, but for now he's treading carefully.]

[dream world; week 1 - visiting]

[Time to time when Len found himself in the dreams of others, if they weren't too chaotic, he'd use what little agency he had to dress himself up and create a little nightmare of his own. ( In flashy song and dance form, of course. )

A song about a dream eating baku with devious intent fit the circumstances way too perfectly for him to pass up! As for whoever he was invading--they were more than able to stop him mid-way. Sometimes he'd keep up the act, and sometimes he'd admit it was just a joke.]

[dream world; week 1 - visited]

[When Len wasn't being a brat and ruining other people's dreams, his own were odd and disjointed--when he actually decided to enter "sleep mode", that is.

Typically, because of the amnesia that left him with very little information on the world, his dreams revolved mostly around his sister, as well as bits and pieces of his past that were too foggy to make out. His hardwired desire to sing and entertain was also prevalent--a stage, a cheering audience and the swell of success. The stage was often littered with adoring fangirls (and boys) as well as sweets.

Throughout some of the darker dreams there was a distinct fear of being forgotten and left to rust, no longer needed or novel in a world full of "real" singers. Broken down machines left to be overtaken by nature in vast and seemingly endless fields. Considering the state he'd been found in himself it wasn't all that surprising; Len himself could often be seen here, but as a deactivated husk. In fact, there were often dozens of these husks, each more decrepit than the last.

Sometimes his dreams would be nothing but a stream of computer code, with Len sitting in a dark room that was, at the same time, perfectly lit. It was during these processing times that he acted the most like his waking self.]

((ooc: For the dream logs please specify what kind of mood/tone you'd like most. I can also improvise beyond the ones listed.))

[Video]

[Nozomi comes on over the feed, wearing an interesting hat, her hair tied in a braid to the side instead of her usual pigtails.]

Hi everyone! I know Soulfasting is still a month away, but I wanted to let everyone know that we're selling decorations and masks at my shop, Etteilla. If you want a special order, you'll need to make it pretty soon, otherwise we won't have time to make them.

Also, in honor of the holiday, I'll be doing tarot card readings for ten percent off, or fifteen if you buy anything from the store. We're open throughout the day. Come see us!

[Action; Open to all]

[Etteilla, nestled in the middle of Ninetails Vale on a busy street corner, is particularly busy today. One of the big places to go for Soulfasting supplies, Nozomi, along with Mithra the Nidoking and Coeus the Reuniclus, are busy at work. While the first two are selling their normal wares along with decorations, Coeus seems to be working on something else, an easel set near the cashier's desk. There are paintings near him, all with price tags. They range from people, to other pokemon, to landscapes, and while they are certainly amateur works, they're not bad. He seems very proud of them, at least.]

[Action; Locked to Eri]

[It was late, and Nozomi was restless. Something had been on her mind lately. After sharing a vision with Rei Hino, she found she couldn't stop thinking about it.

Seeing herself perform on stage, standing with others, it seemed more than a bit out of character for her. But despite this, she got the feeling that she was enjoying herself. There was a warmth that she hadn't felt before, something that was hard to place.

What was the purpose of that vision? Who were the others standing with her, dancing with her? She felt that most of them were familiar to her, if not close.

Her cards were being difficult. They always were when she was on the brink of a breakthrough. Leaning over the array of cards, her mug of coffee steaming not too far away, Nozomi sighed heavily. She should go to bed, but this was going to bother her in her dreams if she didn't get it figured out.]

[Voice; to Maya]

[Sometime between 2 and 3 in the morning, a voice transmission comes in over her warp band. Nozomi sounds surprisingly quiet, her voice a little less confident than usual.]

Mayocchi? Are you around?

ricericebaby

[Video]

[When Hanayo's transmission begins, it could almost be mistaken for an audio post, considering that there's no one visible on the screen. The only sound that can be heard is clearly coming from somewhere off-camera, slightly muted from the distance.]

Eh...?! B-but... I don't think...! Th-that's...!

[However, it's only a matter of moments before a flustered looking young girl with glasses is pushed into view by a Happiny, a Magby, and a Kricketot. All three of them smile cheerfully for the camera - a glaring juxtaposition with the girl's own nervous expression. She sighs and makes a little 'mooouuuu~' noise at her Pokemon before addressing the camera, though she never makes direct eye contact and her voice is rather quiet.]

U-um... hello. My name is Hanayo Koizumi.

[...She pauses there for a moment, but her Pokemon egg her on for more.]

Oh...! Ah... I just got my Warp Band today, and I'm thinking of looking for more Pokemon friends. I'm sure I'll see some of you around, so...

[Hanayo awkwardly bows her head, eyes squinted shut tightly. She really has to concentrate to speak at a normal volume.]

...I hope we can get along!

[And she reaches out to shut off the feed. She'll answer anyone who calls her back, but right now she needs a moment or two to collect herself.]
