[The Warp Band comes on to show a dignified and calm looking young woman. Some might recognize her, but she doesn't waste time in introducing herself and the purpose of her video.]

For those who do not know me, I am Mitsuru Kirijo. While my grandfather serves on the council, it is not in that capacity that I speak to you today. Many of you may know that my family's company, the Kirijo Group, spends a significant amount of time and money on charitable efforts, both for the welfare of those less fortunate and other things like the arts.

In light of recent circumstances, the Kirijo family as a whole feels that we as citizens should step up to help the recent newcomers. I understand if there is some reluctance on the parts of those who had to engage with the Enhanced individuals, but we are a city filled with good and kind people. It would do us no disservice to step forward to assist them in their time of need.

My family is offering to donate one million dollars from our personal funds should the council agree to letting the Enhanced stay for the building of the facilities needed. We know that it is nowhere near enough. We are urging others to donate what they can, however large or small that is, and to let the council know that you are for allowing our city to grow even more. We are willing to donate more once we are absolutely sure that this has passed. Everyone's cooperation is greatly appreciated in this matter.

[She takes a deep breath before smiling softly, feeling just a little pleased with how easily this speech has come to her without notes.]

If you have any questions, please feel free to address them to myself. I am more than willing to answer them to the best of my ability.

With the revelation of the presence of the Enhanced, Union was able to quickly mobilize. As the strange conditions continued to worsen, the Trainers of Union once again set out to bring order to the chaos.

This time however, they do not walk entirely alone. A small, dedicated team remains behind in Union, sorting through the dossiers and information that Crystal and Rory have collected. Connected to those in the field via Warp Band network, hopefully they can identify the Enhanced and find a way to calm them before a tragedy occurs.

[OOC: There will be a thread for each active team based on the sign-ups. Any areas that did not have any sign-ups will not be present and will be addressed later. As per our usual standards, moderators and NPC helpers will progress the log at least once every 24 hours. The Union log will work somewhat differently from the battle logs in that the participants will be collecting information concerning the Enhanced; when enough information has been accumulated, they will be asked to tag into the battle threads to provide guidance and support to those out in the field.

Characters participating in the Union log will function as support staff for this event. They will have their own log interacting with Rory and Crystal and as characters in other logs encounter the Enhanced, they can use the observations made to try to find out more about the Enhanced in the field and help the people in the field determine an appropriate situation. Because of this, players in the Union thread may threadjack any ongoing log to relay information as needed.

The outcome of this event will depend very much on player decisions and the ability of the characters to respond to the threats at hand, so we would highly encourage you all to tag as regularly as possible. Thanks!]

[ It was the middle of the night when she took the band, her party well on their way toward the forest shrine. But as soon as she saw the announcement, she knew this couldn't wait. She was trembling--both angry and afraid of what was happening, and what could very well happen to her by saying this. But it didn't matter at this point.

Team Evolution messed up, and Rory was probably still playing coy. Someone needed to call them on their bullshit.

Elly takes a breath before speaking. Even with the light of the campfire, she looks a bit pale. ]

I'm doing this beyond my better judgment. I shouldn't be saying the things I'm about to say. So let me begin by apologizing. To my friends, my co-workers, to anyone who I've had the opportunity to meet in both Union and Caldera; I've been deceiving you. I'll get to that eventually, but that's not why I'm here on the Band.

I'm here to warn you.

Regarding the Enhanced. I know very little about them myself. They're somewhat common knowledge to citizens of Gigas-- [ A pause. ] Like myself. Rory is right, something about Gigas prevents us from having any answer to Enlightened, unless they come from other places, like Caldera. I don't know when the project started. What I do know is from my training, and even that is severely limited. They're... savage on the battlefield. There were even drugs that were manufactured in the Gigan military to try to replicate some of the combat prowess of the Enhanced. They work, but...

[ There is a lot of hesitance there, and Elly looks away from the camera, trailing off. It takes her a moment to be able to continue again. ]

These people should be approached with extreme caution, if you do find them. As was pointed out, one of the side-effects to the experimentation that made them Enhanced is instability. I'm not sure what causes it, but most of the Enhanced I served alongside were already a bit... skewed. Certain things made it worse, but it varied depending on the person.

I've never heard of an instance where Enhanced have caused disturbances like this, so I have no idea what is going on. Rory and Dr. Verdine--I'm kicking myself for not figuring this out before, since that woman is involved--might not even know themselves. Or they might be hiding something. I can't say. I can make assumptions, but I can't say for sure.

Team Evolution itself doesn't function the same way that the greater populous of Gigas do. To be sure, there are agents in Team Evolution that are from Gigas, but as far as I know they are not directly allied. To that, it's possible that they do want the best for these Enhanced. If it was Gigas, I can't say they would make the same concessions.

How do I know this? Well... As said, I served alongside them. Until a few months ago, I was a member of the Gigan military. I was recruited at a young age, and until about a year ago, didn't know any better that my actions would have such a lasting, horrible effect. I know that is no excuse.

I am no longer aligned with them, before anyone asks. If anyone is even listening to me anymore--I understand if you aren't. As far as my commanding officers are concerned, Elhaym Van Houten died on the battlefield. And as far as I'm concerned, she did as well.

I don't expect any of you to trust me, but I'm sick of lying, and I want to help. All I can do is tell you what I know, even if it might put me in a bad place doing so. I don't care anymore. Union has been more than welcoming to someone like me, and, after living here and meeting all of the people, I know where my loyalties lie.

[Martin looks all business. He actually has his sword visible in the Warp Band, which is obviously being held by a 'mon as Martin is gathering his pack]

I am going down to Old City to do some investigation--and before any of my nannies ask, yes I have plenty of medical supplies. You're welcome to come with me, if you'd like.

[A pause]

Matthias, if the Commander will let you, I'd like you in particular to come with me.

[[OOC: THIS IS NOT THE CONFRONTATION POST, this is just Martin going down to the Old City for some exploration to see if he can find anything out because this guy has a hero complex the size of Manhattan some times. If you signed up for Old City and want to come explore with him, please just tag the thread below!

Otherwise feel free to nag at him.]

So this is a "Warp Band", huh...

[ There's nothing onscreen but somebody's fingertip tapping it - and then the screen draws back to reveal a dark-haired girl looking down at it skeptically. ] I guess this'll do.

[ She takes a deep breath and coughs into her fist. ]

Attention, humans of Union City! My name is Siren, songstress of Minor Land. Acknowledge my superior power if you wish to be shown mercy. Otherwise -

[ She strikes a pose as a Tympole hops onto her shoulder, croaking loudly in an adorable froggy cackle. ] I'll have no choice but to put you in your place! Ah-hahahaha! Ah--hahaaa! Aha - ha- Wait, I'm not done ---

[ The feed buzzes off. ]

[ action ]

[ Irritated that her debut had been interrupted by her Carbink bumping her arm, Siren has decided to make good on her threat and is prowling through the city in Purrloin form, looking for the ideal place to begin spreading sorrow. And what better place than - a crowded restaurant! All these people clearly have orders they're looking forward to receiving. They're all enjoying meals together so happily. It makes her sick.

But what if her Tympole situates itself atop this hanging lamp and uses Supersonic on the room? Statistically speaking, that means fifty-five percent of them will become confused! Waitresses will forget people's orders! Guests might wander out forgetting to pay their servers! Children will go hungry! Oh, has there ever been a more nefarious scheme?

Siren thinks this is a pretty good start! So go on, humans. Have a taste of terror - if you dare! ]

Do it, Negatone!

Pooooooo!!!

[[ ooc: Feel free to get Confused by Siren's Tympole or thwart her "brilliant" plot. Unless I type her text in bolded purple, she's speaking human language - so her chances of passing herself off as a random Purrloin aren't that good... ]]

[ACTION]

[This is her first Salvation day, and gosh darn it, Elly is going to make the most of it! Thankfully, work had been relatively slow leading up to the holiday, so she managed to get more than enough shopping done. After Lucas's lessons with knitting, Elly has found herself a new hobby. With two woolly pokemon living with her, materials weren't hard to come by, so a certain redhead has taken to passing around scarves.

Those people who she has met will all be greeted by the scarf fairy--save for a few exceptions.

Lucas will get a book of various flowers around the known world, as well as a few medical texts.

Martin will be getting a sweater. He seems to have this thing about getting himself into trouble, and maybe if they stick him in enough layers, he won't be able to move. Also they act as pillows? Win win?

Eiji will be getting a cook book! It's a bit old, so much of the fare is Union-specific, but he might find a few rare treasures in there.

Char will get ~~a sunglasses caddy~~ a few books about the region, including maps and information about flora and fauna. It's practical!

Fei will get paints from Citadel, and a large bone for Stoutland. She may have spent a bit more on these than she is wont to say.

((Any of these gifts will be delivered personally and are open for threading.))]

[VIDEO]

[Sitting on Elly's lap is a small doll. She had another one, but it appears that her pokemon are currently crowding around it.]

I hope that everyone is having a good, safe holiday. But, in the chance circumstance that you are not, my friend here-- [She uses her finger to make the Audino doll dance a bit.] Might be able to help.

The Medical Center is actually trying to collect more of these, since they seem to have some kind of healing properties. Did anyone else get gifted one? Or any other dolls? What do they do? I wonder where they came from.

[Today, a face that hasn't been seen in a while pops up. Orange hair and his brown, eastern style looks-like-a-honedge's-scabbard clothes can be seen, before he adjusts his hair 'hand' that has the band on it in order to see his face more easily. Behind him are the familiar sights of Union, although he's clearly more close to Ninetails Vale than anything else. He also doesn't seem bothered by the cold at all]

Ah, hey!

[He smiles briefly, jerkily raising up one of his arms in order to mechanically wave at the camera.]

I'm back. A lot of you probably don't remember me, but...I kind of spent a month up in the mountains after the whole dream thing. Trying to get a little stronger...you know.

[He reaches up to scratch at the back of his head, and while the movement is slow and mechanical, he at least seems much more comfortable with it than he was when he first arrived.]

So, uh....I guess I'm asking if anything happened while I was gone. Yeah, I should've kept checking the band, but...I guess I just forgot.

[Something attracts his attention, and he turns his head automatically - and there's only a little jerkiness as he does so.]

Oh yeah, what's with all the lights? Another holiday? Man, you guys sure like your holidays...

[After a moment, he shakes his head.]

I think that's it for now. -OH, yeah! Maya, is it still alright if I stay with you guys? I still haven't figured out how to go back to being a pokemon yet, but...if your rooms are full up or something, I'll figure something else out.

[Kanji can't believe he's actually gotten around to finishing this. But in any case, here's a rather worried-looking young man on the warp video feed, various tools of his trade around him.]

Yo, everyone. I've been workin' on somethin' on 'n off for a few months now, and I think some'a you guys might be interested.

It's been kinda hard, but I've been wrappin' my head around Enhanced clothes 'n textile stuff. Man, it's actually easier than the metal crap now I know what I'm doin'... I ain't a professional. But I think it's comin' out looking alright. [He raises something into camera view - is that a pair of gloves? A rather nice pair, too, with vinelike embroidery and a floral trim... with his blatant ground weakness, trying something grass-type made sense.] That's the last lot I did.

So... [Okay, okay, he can do this. Breathe, Kanji, breathe. I'm gonna start sellin' this stuff too. If you want any, hit me up at the usual places, the shop or the gallery, an' I'll see what I can do. I've got a few ideas, an' I think I can do stuff in any Type.

[Fire-type gear for the cold weather, ice-type or water type for the warm, glowy fairy bits for cave exploration... where to start?

He scratches his head.]

That's that. Gimme a yell.

[During the Soulfasting celebration, Jinxie can be found in Ninetales Vale wearing a hoodie designed to look like a Drifloon, sitting behind a table set up with what looks somewhat like a shell game - three little ceramic decorations designed to look like a Duskull, a Gastly, and a Misdreavus covering up whatever hides underneath. There's a sign in front that reads 'A WINNER EVERY TIME' with a list of prizes below:

1st Prize: Ghost Pokemon egg of your choice
2nd Prize: Magic charm from the Kurain School
3rd Prize: Pokemon food - special Ghost type blend]

Step up and try your luck!

((OOC: I'm basically just going to randomize for everyone who comes up to play. It won't exactly be a shell game so much as 'pick one and get the prize written on the piece of paper hidden underneath' for ease of threading.))

[Eggs left: Drifloon, Misdreavus - pending 1 win for Melaka
Charms given: Confusion x1, 1 for Elly, 1 for Quinn]

[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?
