EVER GRANDE CITY, HOENN - TWO NIGHTS BEFORE

Strange music filtered from the dusky chapel, washing through the night in soft waves of muddled notes and echoing scales.

Evening worship had long since concluded, and the church should have been empty. Silent. Instead, it shuddered with bottled sound, repressed and painful as a song with sealed lips.

The tones rang, hollow, from the chest of a Kricketune. The insect perched high in an alcove, backlit by candlelight above the rows of wooden pews. The silhouette of the Broken Wheel lay cast across the ground like the Original One’s eye, fixed upon the woman crumpled there.

Click. Click. Click.

A figure made her way down the aisle, stopping before the fallen nun.

Like an underwater symphony, the strange music carried on.

“Sleep,” the girl said, her voice cool and distant. “And dream of Judgment.”



THE FLIERS WERE CLEAR. This is the date. This is the time. This is the meeting place.

CLOSED TEMPORARILY, reads the sign on the entrance to the white-walled chapel. Its windows are shuttered and the double-doors seem firmly shut. A strange melody is coming from within. It sounds like... choral music.

To you who bear the shards, it has been months since the excavation where you found the metal plates inscribed with unlearned lore. Little did you know that others share your curiosity, and today an unknown force has gathered you here by word of mouth, by literal advertisement, and perhaps by fate as well.

Will you let a closed door stop you?

Within the humming walls, past the barred doors, Pokemon sing tonelessly from the alcoves. It seems to be a traditional hymn in the name of Arceus, but the music is strange and corrupted-- the notes are tinged harshly with painful Metal Sound and Bug Buzz, lending an eerie, discordant quality to the choir.

At the far side of the congregation, a three-part, stained glass window depicting the Original One casts a soft wash of colorful light across the ground. The pews have been cleared to either side of the empty church, leaving a wide area to chat and mingle. If a table is needed, the altar itself is available.

Chryssa Glasgow sits in a pew off to the side, swinging her legs and conducting the music with her eyes closed. She has no intention of leading this little get-together. She’s just here to provide suitable ambiance.

“So you found your way here,” she says, opening her eyes as someone approaches. “I’m so glad. I thought this was an appropriate place for us all to meet one another.”

She seems to be… somewhere else.




OOC: An open social thread (with a suitably dramatic touch) for anyone who wants to compare Plates and discuss potential plots! We should be LUCKY LETTER eligible if we get to page 2!

TL;DR a series of fliers asked anyone who'd seen items matching the plates' description to come to the arceus church in ever grande city. strangely, the church is closed down, but inside is actually the meeting place where people are gathering. if you can



I SEE YOU

"It ever occur to ya that some wacko might come instead of me, Empress?" Responded a by now familiar voice, echoing across the suitably dramatic cathedral with a powerful oomph. "The acoustics are delightful- as always."

The advertisements had been eye catching, to say the least. The first time he had seen them, the weight of the plate piece in his pocket had seemed to increase tenfold. But that aside, there had been something else about the graphic piece that had commanded his attention.

So familiar in style- a bit more polished, however...

"Dancing classes..." He had muttered under his breath then, before a broad smirk had spread over his lips- and deranged, evil laughter tore out of his throat, weirding out every single passerby.

Of course she had gotten one of her own.

"Oh, lovely Empress of the Seas." He said, tipping his straw hat low, his steps over the tiled floors echoing through the empty chapel as until he came to a stop before her. "It's a pity, I've only got a piece o'mine."

He held up a singular piece, neon green in color.

"... And Space Set Free ..." He said, echoing dully the line that had been burnt onto his former school's walls ever since one month ago. "Yours got anything like that?"

MUSIC

    The door to the Church of Arceus was locked. "Huh. This wasn't on the invite. Is this the right place?" Zac checked the letter. it had been 'delivered' via a brick thrown straight through his window. The address is correct. So is the time. "Well I guess this is one of those 'tests'," Zac said, testing the lock one more time. He circled the building, but all entrances were locked fast. 
    "Okay, new plan. Lets try that side door again." Zac had resigned himself to some moderate property damage, but there was no reason to go blowing the front doors off the place. He adjusted his reflective top button and sent out Odium the Tyranitar, and the sleek-headed sand titan swiftly caved in the side door. "Nice work mate, let's see what's goin' on inside then, ay?" 
    With Odium beside him, Zac entered the church. The atmosphere was disconcerting. Odd sounds lilted in the rafters, and the pews had been pushed to the sides to make room for...socialising? A blood ritual? 
    The only light in the room came through the massive glass window. It cast mingling, suffused tones across the odd tableau, that did nothing to settle Zac's nerves. Zac sent out Turtonator, who lit the room with a warmer, more welcoming hearth-light. 
    There were two figures already in the church, and oddly, they were both familiar. " ! Are you behind all this creepery? It's very cloak and dagger," he said with a grin. " ! How the hell are you! It's been a while since the caves but we all knew that it wasn't the end of it."
    "I wonder how many people are coming?"

No. A closed door will not stop Gavin.

He does not hesitate to reach for its handle, to push it open and hear the swell of discordant melodies. The song is unfamiliar to him and he does not stop to listen. He approaches , , and with the confidence of a man who knew his purpose.

"Ours did," he replies to . He doesn't introduce himself despite overhearing the names of two attendants, Chryssa and John. He's here for knowledge, not pleasantries. "'Three beings were born'. Figure it's something to do with history."

The shards of plate collected alongside , and carried a metal hue, like iron.

he comes with , holding an espeon in his arms as he lets it dangle its legs whilst getting carried. he expects a bunch of nerds being part of the impromptu meeting, of which one of the people he recognizes adheres to the description.

"oh, yeah. that's a nerd," he tells gavin out loud before facing back to him. "there's at least two in this room for now, by the way."

he quickly races off from the entrance to one of the pews as he covers his snickering from gavin with his back. he chooses a pew near the entrance, flashing a grin at when his eyes meet his.

"hey chryssa," he calls from the other side of the room, voice echoing through the church's acoustics. "good choice of location!" he praises before he goes on to play with his espeon by his lonesome.

"probably a lot what with the racket your making zac." from within the caved door that was made by a tyranitar stood kazimir holding up a red relic of his own and an affectionate smile and gaze on ramsay. its warm to the touch and managed to keep him from completely freezing as a chill ran through the city although he was now certain that it was coming from this church of all places. after all whoever went to the trouble of setting up this meeting sure had an eye for flair. "then again that music sure as heck would probably draw a crowd." he noted as he made his way towards the group.
[break][break]
as he did he looked at his own plate to try and make out the writing that was pretty faded but it was still legible enough for him to make out one phrase, "two beings of time..." bringing a hand to his forehead he placed his knuckles against his head and lightly tapped it repeatedly as his mind burrowed deep into whatever knowledge he did have. "uh...a pokemon that controls time...mmm..." he wasn't a religious person but he at least knew of the stories about pokemon and their creation.
[break][break]
the biggest legend was about arceus, creator of all, and from there he knew a about the devlish giritina and the mysterious palkia and dialga-"Oh! maybe its talking about Dialga?! it controls time right? or travels through it...or was that another pokemon." now his brain was starting to kick into overdrive as he stood there stuck in his thinking pose as he tried to piece together what it had to do with a mysterious plate he found.

Chu-e only showed up to cause trouble.

The flyers were pretty neat and all, especially since he had a hold idea what they were about. But the shard he had pulled from the ground had been given to one of his teammates; he couldn't even remember the message on the back. Thankfully, he had taken a picture when it was still whole. But it seemed more like something to keep to himself.

So when he wandered through the busted doorway, thanks to 's pokemon, he was more than content to hang back and keep to himself. However, glancing around, he was surprised at how many familiar faces there were. and mainly. There was and , but he had only met them once each before now.

Chu-e slid quietly into the pew next to . "Look at all these fucking nerds." He stage whispers, eyes twinkling with mischief. But the phone in his hand, a false screen of some gacha game pulled up, is busy recording the proceedings.

[attr="class","spiral"]Everyone gathers to discuss their would be findings. Among those present, Fernando feels an outsider, much too pompous to join in with such rabble. The iconic councilman remains as lowkey as possible, hair down, eyes hidden behind a set of recently purchased sunglasses from an Ever Grande souvenir shop. The rest of his attire fits his usual wear except the oversized hoodie that remains pulled up, all under the pretense of wading off the January chills.

His entrance is unremarkable as is his introduction. He maintains a distance from them, taking a seat in a pew within earshot, silent.

The muted vibration of his phone is undoubtedly his plus one; he's confident enough that he never pulls it out to check. He awaits her presence, consciously making an effort to identify those already here. To no surprise, he recognizes by his civilian name.

Stormy had received an odd letter indicating a meeting-place to discuss the plate she had found. The opportunity to learn more had been too great a curiosity that she didn't hesitate to tag along. [break][break]

And she melts into the crowd with ease, mingling and mixing with the sea of faces until she finds familiar ones. The woman is bright-eyed and bushy-tailed, immediately flocking to and .[break][break]

She arrives too late to really hear what it was they were talking about, however, and so she taps Kazimir on the shoulder.[break][break]

Upon some research on a mysteries item that he received from his dig in lilycove, the scarred man found out it was a pieces of a plate that was known to belong to the god of pokemon itself. But that was it, Maverick could not find out any more information than that. It also didn’t help that he only had one of four pink colored shards. The other three pieces were held by the other three the man was grouped with when they were digging in the tunnels. He considered contacting them, asking if they found out anything about it. But when flier reached him about some kind of mass meeting about said plates, the gym leader decided against it and just wait for the day to come.

And that day, was today. The man traveled from Rustboro City to Ever Grande City, closing his gym down for the day in preparation for it. Warm gaze flickered over the church, shifting his weight as he observed others entering the place. His hand clasped the shard in his pocket, wondering how many shards were out there. Taking a deep breath and casing a suspicious look at his hell hound, the pair decided to enter the building with the rest. Once in, the gym leader kept to himself as his beloved six foot seven houndoom kept close to his side. He listened intently and observed closely, being sure he kept his shard in his pocket unless requested to be shown. His orbs flickered in search for his other members, wondering if they too would come to see what their pieces of plate would mean.

for at ever grande. hey hey! mav is here. he has x1/4 of the mind plate shard.

closed doors didn't stop her nowadays, although she always did hate what they meant she was doing.

although mcflurry tried to stay discreet as she entered the building, she always did bring a certain cold with her, nowadays. closing the door behind her to stop the sudden frigid breeze from coming in, mcflurry let out a chattering shudder, the dark circles around her eyes attesting to how little sleep she was getting.

with her teeth chattering and her eyes weary and wary, she really did look like her signature pokemon. the short woman retracted into herself, trying to stop the music from giving her goosebumps.

she felt unworthy to be in a place like this. it was far too holy for someone like her. taking a seat at a pew near the back, her gloves smoothed over the fraction of the plate she held.

"What's this I hear about Dialga?"[break][break]

"The demiurge of time, and a member of the Creation Trio."
[break][break]

The voice that had called out in response had echoed out from the dark depths inhabiting the eastern corridors of the church. Out of shadow and the flickering glow of candlelight, emerged together with his crew: , , and . They'd entered via his Sinistea's PHANTOM FORCE portal, who now drifted along just above his shoulder as he advanced.[break][break]

"If the legends are to be believed, anyway." The nonchalant royal adds, one hand in his pocket while the other holds an encased and intact SPLASH PLATE to his side. He's memorized the inscription upon it, of course. But he won't give it away so easily. Not until they're all prepared to share their information concurrently.[break][break]

Taking a seat upon one of the foremost pews, he crosses one leg over the other as he waits for this gathering to really start. His eyes take note of some familiar faces, namely and , but find themselves more interested in the unfamiliar. A hooded figure. A straw hat. A seemingly entranced girl conducting the haunting melody that filled this church like a phantom.[break][break]

"Interesting cast of characters..." He remarks just under his breath, receiving a tinkle of agreement from the possessed teacup right after.[break]

While he could say a lot of things about the prince, he hadn't expected one of those to be that he knew how to make an entrance. It seemed like he was trying to keep a low profile in the region, and to be fair, Andy did consider that there was no herald announcing the man's presence or blowing a royal tune on a trumpet.
[break][break]
Briefly he considering filling the role himself by shouting upon their ghostly arrival that the prince of Galar had arrived, and to all rise. Remiel probably would have been cross with him. Instead he trailed behind the royal with the rest of the band of misfits. A smarmy smirk was plastered onto his face, though it became a little more genuine when he nodded towards .
[break][break]
Guess he got lucky too. The boy hoped he would have a chance to swap stories later, but for now they were here on business, godly business. When the Galarian ambassador took his seat, Andy maneuvered to the pew just behind, though he did not plant his own butt. Rather he leaned on the back of the pew in front.
[break][break]
Depending on the other two, perhaps it would seem as if they were ready for an album cover.

Skyler had been vehemently against the idea when it had first been proposed. In fact, she is still against the idea when the PHANTOM FORCE snatches them into its chilling grasp, neatly dumping the group into a darkened corridor, away from peering eyes. Ghostly remnants linger over her skin, raising goosebumps.

She does her best to hide the shiver that runs down her spine. Honestly, why ghosts?

Voices easily reach them from the main church chamber, some familiar, others less so. The captain thinks she recognizes a few, though the echo distorts them into something discordant and strange - and the music doesn't help either.

It is an easy thing to follow after the group, lingering at the back as the theatrical assemble unfurls before her eyes in its full glory. Skyler can't help but admire the work that went into this, amusement curling her lips. A motley gathering of people comes into view; the captain winks at when she catches sight of him.

While  prefers to sit on one of the pews (like a normal person) and leans back against it, Skyler boldly hops onto the same pew as Remiel and chooses to sit on its back. 

Totally album cover material.

 Angelo wished he had been the one to come up with the idea that they teleported into the church in a swirl of black, phantom energy like they were in some cheesy movie but alas – that credit had to go to someone else.

By the time that they’ve arrived in the extravagant cathedral, it’s filled with familiar and not so familiar faces, music intermingling amongst the chatter of those present.

Blue eyes fall upon some familiar faces and while he gives and a smile, at the sight of he sneakily links his thumbs together when nobody else is looking and wiggles his fingers – like some kind of Butterfree Gang hand symbol that would cast the appropriate shadow in the right light. There’s an unashamed grin on his lips.

Remiel led them to a pew where they’d have the entire row to themselves and Angelo wasn’t about to let all the free space go to waste. While the Galarian sits prim and proper, Skyler perches and Andy leans, Angelo decides to recline – taking up the rest of the bench on his back, long legs stretched out. His head ends up perilously close to Remiel’s leg but he doesn’t seem bothered, blue eyes blinking up at the high cathedral ceiling and the stained-glass windows that remind him of the ones back in Alto Mare.

(Album cover: complete.)

He overhears the mumbles of the man next to him with an amused smirk, eyes crinkled at the corners. “Remy. Buddy. I’d say you’re the most interesting character here…” The words curl off his tongue, less of a compliment and more like a jab; 'interesting' sounding more like 'fucking weird'. Teasing as friends do.
