"the loss of slateport was, by all metrics, an incredibly powerful blow. we've lost shipping access, one of the strongest sources of revenue in the region, and our primary base of operations in hoenn," lillian speaks plainly, a manila folder with all the relevant reports informing her opinion sitting neatly in her lap (her hands folded delicately on top of it).

while her words themselves seem to nod towards dark things on the horizon -- the death by comfort she'd predicted weeks ago -- her affect is unaffected. her back is straight and her voice just as cold and removed as always. this is potential disaster but neither a potential nor disaster especially shocking or foreign.

the war in kanto went similarly and not without the help of she and the man she spoke to now. so when she looks at fernando it isn't with panicked or worried eyes, but curious ones asking silent questions.

what's our next play?

how do you suppose we maneuver this?


"i foresee significant drops in outside support following this. investors from other regions are going to be scared, especially after what happened the last time rocket mounted an assault on a region," she's sure he's got something up his sleeve; and so she continues to feed him the facts with hopes that they'll work like fertilizer for whatever ideas he's planted.

Instead of making another thread here I'm just going to update this one. Long story short: I don't think I can get back into the site. This site is alive and thriving and those are both good things, but it means being away for as long as I was has me feeling incredibly lost and out of the loop. I genuinely don't know how to get back on board and more importantly I don't know if I have the will to try. That's a bit melodramatic but it's honest. As a result I think I'm going to just step away from the site. I'm holding onto an important canon and every minute I sit around floundering is another minute behind I get.

That said I'd like to say the usual, but important stuff: This site is awesome. The people on it are great, I stand by my previous statements that Shiv and Noods are some of the best staff ever, and I thoroughly enjoyed every thread and post I made on this site. If I can help it this won't be goodbye forever but if I can't I want it to be known that I leave with a heavy heart. You guys were awesome and I'm happy I got to be part of the awesomeness. See ya somewhere, nerds. Thanks for the fun.

If we do last wills and testaments Lillian's stuff can go to Fernando and Sveva's stuff can go to Nikolai. Yvonne and Millie don't have anything to give.

I am going to start this by stating the obvious: I. AM. NOT. LEAVING. I've kind of vanished from the discord and I haven't posted in god knows how long, but it's not because I'm distancing myself or trying to make a sneaky exit. That said, I do need a break.

Well before I joined this site I was having a rough time in my personal life juggling responsibilities and coping with some not-great things that have happened in rapid succession. I've had some personal tragedies, extensive physical illness, and a crushing course load running me ragged behind the scenes for months and while I've found Hoenn to be a great escape I also found it impossible to participate when I was in the thick of things. I pushed myself to anyway, though, and in the end I think I burned myself out a bit.

My schedule opened up recently, but trying to immerse myself in the site again has been hard and stressful. So, I want to take some time and let myself sink naturally back into my groove here. I'll probably be working on posts in the background, and don't be surprised if I come back on the 15th with a ton of replies, but I need the weight of obligation off my shoulders for a bit so I don't get crushed by it.

See you guys on the other side <3.

BATTLEFRONT 2: TRAIN STATION
POSTED ON Nov 6, 2018 18:25:09 GMT
LILLIAN GLASS Avatar


caution is preferable to rash bravery, but in this place and at this time lillian would like nothing more than to race ahead. the chattering of the nervous civilians in her charge and the tension of moving through a battlefield with severely limited visibility (not to mention one that is deadly outside of the SAFEGUARD lapras provides) makes the urge to rush hard to ignore. thankfully her opponents offer her a reminder for why she doesn't.

magneton's place in the air alongside its three-way vision allows it a rare advantage in combating ambushes, but only at an even pace. thankfully they've kept their progress slow and steady, and so when a SLUDGE BOMB comes hurtling through the air it has no problem spotting it.

the steel-type breaks formation to intercept the attack. the explosive move detonates in its face a short ways away from the civilians. the damage is negligible and easily shaken off, the toxic elements of the attack burn up on contact with lapras's SAFEGUARD. lillian reminds herself that this is why she must proceed carefully.

"shift."

while the party continues to move towards the exit, lillian's pokemon shift their focus towards the direction of the attack. what was once a defensive formation meant to cover all directions turns focused on one.

    the air of the train station turns foul faster than lillian expected. it seems only seconds pass before the gas completely surrounds the bubble of safety SAFEGUARD has created -- she doesn't take time to see how many civilians have huddled inside its boundaries. all of her attention has to be focused outwards.

    announcing her intentions was stupid. it made her a target, whether it was necessary or not, but dwelling on it won't do her any more good than the action in question. she has to make sure that if any trouble comes she's ready. for the first time in a long time she's acted on impulse for others and that comes with a responsibility to those who've come to her for help.

    "stay on alert."

    her eyes scan the violet air for shadows, and her pokemon do the same. while two of its hands are preoccupied pushing her wheelchair, machamp's second pair hover in the air tensed and ready to strike or protect at a moment's notice. magneton watches from above (his mechanical eyes watching all the points around the party) and lapras focuses on the boundaries of SAFEGUARD.

    anyone expecting this target to be an easy one will learn the hard way that quite the opposite is true.

      lillian glass



      your heart drifted off like the land split by sea. i tried to go, to follow, to kneel down at your feet. i'll run, i'll run, i'll run, run to you.

      [attr="class","cantstop"]
      [attr="class","end1"]about lillian is a secretary to fernando eliard silph of the illustrious silph family. she is a dedicated worker, experienced trainer, and forever loyal to the man who saved her life. she also may or may not have played a massive hand in the downfall of saffron city. she's made herself cold and calculated so she may best serve her boss.

      [break][break]friends her work for and responsibilities to fernando have dominated her life for the better part of fifteen years at this point, and so most friendships she's developed have revolved around him. league members in close contact with him and the company, the group of skilled individuals he's built around himself, and others of this ilk. she's a surprisingly warm ally; compassionate and caring under her ice queen act. no matter what fernando comes first.

      [break][break]enemies enemies of silph are enemies to her. have something negative to say about fernando? shit list. get in the way of any job she's been given? your funeral. rocket, league, etc mean little and less to her. they're pieces in a game bigger than they know. real talk though; don't be a dick and she probably won't take the time to hate you. probably.

      [break][break]loves claimed a million times over. she's got a heart for one man and one man only. fell hard at age 10 and never got over it.

      [attr="class","blowone"]


      sveva[break] carla



      skipping teeth keep calling you back. telling stories, pretending they're fact. let me go. too unstable to wane. chewing wildflowers to numb the pain.

      [attr="class","cantstop"]
      [attr="class","end2"]about former soldier for the league in kanto; she ran away from the conflict when it became too much for her teenage mind to bear. she has since spent her time devoted to being the best gym leader dewford has ever seen and avoiding any and all conflict with team rocket. she suffers immensely from her time on the front lines and is fully committed to never returning.

      [break][break]friends sveva does her best to be something like the face of dewford. she greets tourists, openly interacts with aspiring trainers, and walks the town at least a few times a day. her gym isn't one of the busier ones in the region so she takes every opportunity to make visits to it warm and welcoming. she plays the part of a lighthearted, air headed socialite and more than enjoys making friends under this gentle ruse.

      [break][break]enemies team rocket killed her pokemon, some of her friends, and took her city before razing it to the ground. she hates them with every fiber of her being but fears them enough to avoid direct conflict with the faction. otherwise she's secretly an alcoholic and takes very poorly to personal questions; those seeking to form a close and intimate relationship with her will find themselves aggressively rebuffed.

      [break][break]loves also claimed by the lovely gym leader of sootopolis, nikolai. otherwise past relationships have been rocky and rarely amounted to anything.
      [attr="class","blowone"]


      patricia castle



      who taught you how to hate yourself? who forced you to confide in spell? mistook 'pathetic' for empathy. cast a stone at the foe and the stone hit me.

      [attr="class","cantstop"]
      [attr="class","end3"]about a child to two pokemon breeders that lost it all after coming out as a woman; patricia is a mostly gentle spirit lead to rocket more or less by circumstance. a desire for freedom mixed with a lack of direction walked her right into the faction's attempts to get a foothold in hoenn. so far she's conflicted but loyal.

      [break][break]friends patricia is generally a fairly friendly person. soft-spoken and open-minded, she puts great value in personal liberties and so does her best to support the people around her in their endeavors to be themselves. owner of a shop for herbal remedies outside of fallarbor town; she's met many people through treating sick people and injured pokemon.

      [break][break]enemies don't be a bigot, don't tell her what to do (unless you've got actual authority within rocket). ask her about her past and she's likely to deflect or shy away before writing you off as someone to potentially avoid. excessively violent or crude people make her uncomfortable, and if you take pleasure from hurting others she's unlikely to seek out your company.

      [break][break]loves it's a rough life. she'd love to find someone to be close to like this but anxiety keeps her more or less out of the game. crushes happen but she's unlikely to act on them unless there's some clear promise in the venture.
      [attr="class","blowone"]


      madeline trent



      and it's great that you care so much about things; and yeah, it is great, you can blow her smoke rings but you won't taste her lips if you do get to kiss her.

      [attr="class","cantstop"]
      [attr="class","end2"]about an ace trainer and flying-type specialist from the johto region, madeline lives for a high-speed life full of high-action battles. her eccentricity got her picked on as a child but after devoting herself to personal growth (physically and mentally) she rarely finds a person willing or skilled enough to give her a hard time.

      [break][break]friends do you like pokemon? do you like battles? are you an even moderately decent person? you'll probably get along with madeline just fine. she's single-minded and hyperactive, with a mind that works pretty poorly in social situations, but her heart is true and she finds the act of making and keeping friends natural as can be.

      [break][break]enemies sore losers, the unadventurous, and abusive types get a hard pass from madeline. being mean to people or pokemon without cause is perhaps her biggest social turnoff. if she trusts you and you betray that trust expect hell. madeline does not take kindly to people who intentionally make her look the fool.

      [break][break]loves claimed, though she wouldn't know it. with a brain built for reading pokemon, reading people is a lot harder.
      [attr="class","blowone"]


      yvonne haines



      where do you go? i don't know, i don't know anymore. there is no before. only now. they scoff, they spit. no parade all you get is shit when you come back.

      [attr="class","cantstop"]
      [attr="class","end3"]about former police officer and drafted soldier for the league in kanto, yvonne fought the good fight until the good fight started fighting back. as the league lost ground public opinion and institutional support started to wane, and after receiving multiple injuries and losing friends and pokemon she caved to the allure of team rocket. now she's a jaded cog in the rocket war machine passively rolling over hoenn.

      [break][break]friends yvonne doesn't make many friends lately. her opinion of people is low, her desire to get close to them even lower. she'll socialize -- maybe even put on a smile -- but she won't do it kindly. sarcasm and condescension are common and unless that's your cup of tea you probably won't be warming up to her any time soon.

      [break][break]enemies see above: yvonne is a pretty bad person. she's not actively malicious but she doesn't go out of her way to avoid cruel action. in the end she does what she wants and sees no qualms in treading on those who would get in her way. she does whatever rocket asks her to without question. she doesn't feel like getting on their bad side anymore.

      [break][break]loves yvonne hasn't had a significant other since before the war in kanto; and a firm belief that no one should be cursed with the mental and physical mess she's become leaves her unwilling to pursue anything in hoenn. feel free to try though. interaction over long periods of time can do wonders for comfort with another person (go figure).

      [attr="class","halah"]teasong.

      lillian's spent years creating a stalwart facade; a woman hardened by years, with a mind that works with stubborn efficiency and a heart that doesn't waver. yet, in the moment that her magneton's ZAP CANNON seems fated to take an innocent life she feels her resolve shake. for just an instant shock and a grim sense of helplessness has her mind racing as she tries to think up some way to fix this problem she's created.

      thankfully the man is built of stronger stuff than she is. while she panics at the thought of taking a life he saves his own, and in a moment of what she can only view as perfect instinct gets himself free. better than that -- attempts to blind the pokemon that tried to take him hostage. every bit of fear and discomfort dissolves into weightless relief.

      "if it's still standing after the ZAP CANNON --"

      the moment without an opponent allows her a chance to truly communicate with her pokemon, or so she thinks until the next threat rears its head. a purple mist begins pouring down the stairs to the station's entrance. the question of what it is doesn't linger for long. it comes in contact with some civilians who had chose to hide from the fighting and instantly they begin the slow, agonizing process of death by poison. fighting turns from a necessity to a luxury.

      "towards the mist."

      she speaks firmly and her machamp obeys, at her side lapras all but throws itself forward to keep pace. magneton hovers overhead calmly -- having nothing to fear on account of his inorganic nature.

      "keep us guarded, we're going for civilians."

      lillian gives the order to her trio and they all respond in kind. lapras's horn glows, and in the moment it does the air around them shimmers. SAFEGUARD creates a space around the pokemon immune to the POISON GAS. the toxic haze evaporates into nothing where it touches its edges.

      "to me! i'll cut a path to the entrance!"

      fernando would likely chide her for shouting in a situation like this, but after fearing she'd taken a life moments ago she can't help the strong desire to save any she can.

        the man turns tail and runs, and lillian can't blame him. if she ever let herself get into his position she figured she'd do the same. he dives into the crowd and for a moment she considers pursuit, but when she turns her eyes back to the battlefield she sees better options. the scizor, unreturned by its master nor following his lead. the STUN SPORE and SLEEP POWDER from butterfree's attack drift harmlessly through the space they once filled.

        it seems so vulnerable, split up and without its trainer's instruction. it makes for a much better target if she means to weaken his ability to do harm. she gets right to work dealing with it.

        "switch."

        one word, and suddenly her machamp leaves her side. it acts strangely -- lowering itself down to the ground. its lower pair of arms bend unnaturally and for a moment its torso seems to stretch. it's not until it begins to perform its U-TURN that it reveals its true nature. the ILLUSION that had previously disguised the zoroark fades as it flies through the air and bares its claws. it makes hurried swings at the steel bug, not the nastiest of attacks but that's not the point. as soon as it makes it strikes, whether they land or not, the pokemon vanishes back into its pokeball.

        almost instantly a new pokemon is released. magneton finds a place floating just above lillian. her wheelchair rattles momentarily, the pokemon's MAGNET PULL securing it in place.

        "fry the bug."

        she waves a hand casually towards the airborne scizor. magneton wastes no time. its pupils seem to change shape, growing larger and wider. LOCK ON burns the image of the scizor and a trajectory of attack into the pokemon's mind. only a moment later it fires its ZAP CANNON -- a great orb of crackling electricity. avoiding the move would prove incredibly difficult, as she intended.

        nonetheless she taps the back of her lapras, a quiet reminder of what it must do if the scizor manages to dodge the blast.

        as a final step she returns her butterfree and releases the real machamp, who takes up his rightful place pushing her wheelchair.
