as his two pokemon get to work making a staircase along the tower's side kazimir can't help but overhear the conversation Zac Ramsay and angelo vestri were having with one another. at first it sounded like they were just going over the structure of the tower until a word managed to click in his head.
[break][break]
plates
[break][break]
he vaguely remembered the stuff that happened at the church involving them, he knew zac had his stolen by a gym leader who was acting kind of weird but honestly kaz couldn't remember clearly. it was sort of like he was tuned out of the whole event or something. still he remembered bits about the discussion and had to wonder if that's why they were even building this tower in teh first place, and of course he needed to confirm it for himself, or rather have Zac Ramsay comfirm it anyway.
[break][break]
"hey zac-meister? are ya implying that like...you wanna see if we can meet some kind of deity or something if we climb high enough? cause like, that's some damn dedication and expectation don't you think? like i'm all for meeting them and all but...those plates really got that curiosity of yours going huh?" he could at least relate in some way, even if it was full of his worst enemies there was a place that one couldn't reach normally that kaz wanted to return to to scope out.

who knew, maybe the gods would smile on them and this tower would lead to another portal he could jump through himself to try and get back there. anything was worth a shot nowadays.

''Andy,'' he said shortly and sharply to the ginger, Zac Ramsay. As he recalled, the man was a gym leader, but there was something about him from this brief interaction that seemed a little … off. Did he actually intend to build a tower to the mythical 'heaven' or literally the stars, colloquially known as the heavens? Really either was insane.
[break][break]
''Get him a mouth guard, he has a bad habit of taking dicks to the face.'' angelo vestri's quip distracted him from his completely logical observations, and from his worry that Doug was involved in this. The last thing he wanted was for him to run out of oxygen at however many thousands of feet up and die, even if he was being a wuss about some stinky megalopolan.
[break][break]
He noticed John Sullivan looking at him for a moment, but averted his own gaze, unsure of just how the older teen felt, still. Now he didn't want to feel like he was letting him down again, even if the goal was absolutely stupid. With a frustrated huff, he drew a pokeball and beamed out he own heatran. The molten frog looked a little perplexed at the scene before turning his gaze to his trainer.
[break][break]
''Lend them your vomit or whatever it is you do and build on this project, for now at least'' The heatran blinked a couple of times, then looked around again at what was going on, then back to Andy. ''Heatran...'' And it lumbered away to join the others. The Galarian boy wondered if it couldn't believe what was being attempted here either.
[break][break]
Which suddenly reminded him!

Drawing his rotomphone, he typed furiously to Aedan Quigley:

"And while they do that I can pick some tunes out since im not all that strong myself." she laughed a bit as she pulled out a small speaker from her bag and began to scroll through her music "Any genre or song requests?" she asked the group

So there was a notification sitting in Alexei’s phone all casual-like.

While he didn’t have the aforementioned Pokémon (Heatran? The hell was that?) nor the supplies to bring stairs, he figured that building something of that magnitude was going to take a while, and if there were people involved it was time to bring in the cavalry with snacks.

…a hell of a lot of baked goodies.

Sometimes stress-baking had you ending up with a lot of stuff that didn’t fit in the fridge, and he figured this was the best way to share them with anyone else who would probably be there at the construction site!

After packing several containers with brownies, cookies, some half-assed attempt at macarons, slices of cake and some, ah, ‘special’ alcoholic-infused brownies that he’d labeled (for adults only) he made his way towards the coordinates mentioned in the message.

…and was not surprised to see a lot of people. Thank Arceus he brought along the goods.

“Well, well, Zac, I don’t know what in the slightest you’re up to, but I come bearing snacks. A lot of snacks. Who wants brownies? Cookies? Macarons? Come an’ get ‘em!” he called out as he made his appearance, hopping off the back of his blue-plumed Braviary.

Chu-e Choi

Tower to Space

POSTED ON Feb 23, 2021 18:31:33 GMT

Chu-e had no idea that anything was going on at Zac Ramsay's house. He was just in the neighborhood and had wanted to pop in and say 'hey' to his friend.

Little did he know there was a... party?

Chu-e stood in the front yard and squinted up at the weird tower, which was visible from back here. Shrugging, he did the reasonable thing and just invited himself onto the property and going around the side to get to the backyard where everyone else was at. His Drampa steed was not to be outshone by a Braviary of all things. In fact, he approached Zac through all the crowds (sorry for the Drampa-bump Kazimir Wynter) and politely hopped off.

A neatly packed bag of his own goodies were inside, which he shoved at Zac about the time Alexei Ivanov might offer his own. Petty. Caramel and fudge swirled brownies rested on top, sharing a container with more plain looking ones marked 'Oregano'. He had thumbprint-jam cookies, peanut butter candy, and his own macrons- which were delightfully shaped like Skitty heads and even had cute faces painted on to match. He had really improved his technique.

His sharp eyes slid to Alexei's own offering. Macrons were Chu-e's specialty. He wrinkled his nose in obvious disapproval of the 'half-assed attempt'. "You didn't aerate the eggs whites properly." Then he shrugged and turned back to Zac.

"Having a party and didn't invite me? I'm hurt." But he glanced over at the weird... whatever the hell was being built. And squinted at the ugly lava-dogs. Why did he keep seeing these? "I didn't know you were into...." He paused, taking in the tower one more time. "Modern art?"

Chu-e arrives with goodies as if just to spite his baking rival Alexie. His Drampa almost barrels over Kazimir to get to Zac. Also he brought weed brownies.

chryssa glasgow and John Sullivan like this

he looks back to michiko maeda as he answers his inquiry. a tower to space, he repeats in his head. the novelty of it is lost to kyle, even with the explanation from Zac Ramsay and John Sullivan.

he wants to say that it's only by chance that they got heatran living underneath hoenn's lands, but he's too polite to rain on their parade. it's difficult to give credit to fate when it's always them struggling to keep the region afloat. while he keeps his thoughts to himself, a question manages to get uttered.

"who even is chryssa glasgow?" he asks the gym leader. it's a rhetorical question, since he can always try to get who she is with context clues or something.

despite the implications of forced labor, kyle finds himself releasing the heatran of his own to join the others'. it stays by kyle for a while, with the two sharing stares before kyle gives in and shoos it away to join the others.

"i just came here for the heatran playdate, to be honest." he reveals, scratching the back of his head. "by the way, don't you need a building permit for this?" kyle means it for jest instead of an actual criticism.

John Sullivan and Chu-e Choi like this

"Oh, hello, you are also here!" the older woman exclaimed, seeing John Sullivan . She hid her face in embarrassment at being called ‘messy house lady’ but resurfaced a moment later, managing a giggle. “It was messy, wasn’t it... thank you again for your help!”

Before the others arrived with their drug-and-alcohol laced brownies, Michi was already delivering clusters of rock cakes to the huge, oozing lava Pokemon. She wasn’t sure how to feed them exactly, so she put a small pile of cakes down on the ground and backed away from each Heatran one by one, saying “Here you are!” to let them know it was okay to eat.

Matchan on the other hand, having stabilized the tower again with three huge blocks (triangular structures were the most stable, technically) was ready to chow down and chill. <Cha,> he said, tapping Chu-e Choi on the shoulder to ask for a brownie.

“Matchan likes reggae!” Michi said cheerfully, puttering by Melody Miro with her bags of store-bought baked goods to deliver a cluster to kyle lopez ‘s Heatran. She had walked all the way around the base of the tower, but hadn’t figured out a way to climb it yet so she could give cakes to the Heatran still working at the top. “Matchan, when you are finished ‘chilling’ will you help me climb the tower, please? I have more cakes for the Heatran!”

It was a daunting proposition, delivered very casually. Then again, on closer inspection one might see the older woman was equipped with a full set of climbing and spelunking gear on top of her jazzercise outfit.

Stuffing a full brownie into his mouth, the Machamp hurried to assist.

The tower climbed high into the midday sky. "Gotta be over a hundred feet tall now," Zac said, shading his eyes as he tried to see the top. "What sorta logistics did you have in mind?" he asked John Sullivan . Lava dripping down from above in crawling streams, widening the base into more of a conical shape.
Kazimir Wynter asked about the goal of the tower, and Zac nodded. "Yes to everything you just said. Meet the creator and shake its hand, kiss an alien. Don't let me put a limit on your dreams," he said with a wink.
angelo vestri and Andy Blackadder continued to express their safety concerns, and Zac pointed to a gym bag near his shed. "There's some sports equipment in there if you guys want helmets, or mouth guards, or gloves or whatever. Not sure about flying dicks, though I did just text him-" As if on cue, Alexei Ivanov arrived with trays of baked goods.     "There's the catering!" Zac said, wrapping the man in a rough hug. "And just in time." Zac looked at the gorgeous blue-plumed Braviary that Alexei had flown in on. "This thing's getting a tad high. We're going to need some eyes in the air soon. Think you can cover that?" he asked, jokingly.
Zac noticed music coming from a portable speaker that had been setup nearby. The unfamiliar face of Melody Miro scrolled through her phone, asking for song requests. The idea of music hadn't even crossed Zac's mind. "Uh, how about some K-Pop? I love that Kalos energy, even if I can't tell what they're saying half the time."
"I didn't know you were into...modern art?" asked a familiar voice from Zac's elbow. "Ah! Dammit Ki! You're always sneaking up on me!" Zac said. It wasn't remotely true, as Chu-e Choi had made his presence clearly known, and was even carrying a Tupperware tower to rival Alexei Ivanov 's. "Great to see you bud! Let me help you with some of that!"
    Zac helped Ki set out the snacks on a pair of camping tables at the edge of the garden. Despite Zac's negative experience last time he'd tried Ki's baking, it looked amazing. Zac avoided the oregano brownies. They looked good, but he wasn't in the mood for something savory. Instead he took a perfectly formed macaron.
    He took a tentative bite. It melted gloriously, filling his mouth with the taste of vanilla sugar instead of bloody gravel. "Whoa! You've been practicing!" Zac said. Reassured, he grabbed a few of Ki and Alexei's snacks and slipped them into his pockets for later. He even grabbed one of the oregano brownies as a palette cleanser.
"Don't you need a building permit for this?" asked kyle lopez . It was clearly a good natured jest, and Zac replied in legalese. "Whoever owns the soil, it is his all the way up to heaven and down to hell." He stood next to the champion, watching with interest as michiko maeda and Matchan tried to climb the tower and deliver food to the hungry Heatran at the top. Is she wearing caving gear?

"oh i can handle the eye in the sky part. have just the guy for it too." as he searched around his belt for the right pokemon he grabbed one of the cameras to flip it on, taking a sweeping view of everything that was going on so far as well as the progress of the tower. when he found the ball he was looking for he opened it up inside form his pocket and watched as his corviknight was sent out and flapped its massive wings.
[break][break]
"me and noctis here can get some good height, right bud? here hold onto this with your talons boy." he held out the camera for his steel steed to gently take it in its talons as he climbed on board and the duo soon took off. as they rose into the air kazimir waved to his two other pokemon who were hard at work still building a staircase that encompassed all around the tower. once they reached the top the took a long shot of what the top of it looked like, the dark abyss of its insides really giving it a mystical feeling of something strange.
[break][break]
well they were building something quite strange after all. so the atmosphere was definitely a plus.

“Matchan doesn’t like Kalos Pop so much,” Michi said, making up an excuse to tug the Machamp away from the brownie fest. Matchan seemed skeptical about this analysis of his musical tastes, but followed her anyway. He didn’t feel any different after his “oregano” brownie, and he was happy to help Michi climb the hundred-foot black lava tower.

...Was he really happy? Not particularly, but what could you do.

Michi paused at the base of the “stairs”, which were actually just huge juts of Stone Edge which stuck out of the tower at a slanted, roughly upwards angle. The steps were relatively flat but overly huge, intended for giant, cross-shaped Heatran feet.

There were also irregular gaps between them— no problem for a Pokemon, but Michi didn’t really like jumping.

“Matchan, please throw my grappling hook!” Michi said, and the four-armed Pokemon obliged. The older woman watched the hook sail away into the sky, propelled by the four-armed Pokemon’s mighty throw. Sure, she could take the stairs, but wasn’t that like taking ten flights of stairs to the top of a building when she could just take the elevator?

Her climbing equipment all checked, Michi secured the line to her climbing belt, then pointed up at the top.

“Let’s~go!”

Guessing that Michi wanted him to actually climb (or perhaps resigned to it,) Matchan carefully picked the woman up in his upper arms, took hold of the first handhold, and began to climb the tower. Michi helped him look for secure handholds from her upper vantage, and with his strength and the convenient regular platforms of Stone Edge, they were soon at the top.

From up here, Michi could see the same sight as Kazimir Wynter — the dark, hollow chamber of the inner tower, ridged and glassy like the inside of a spiral shell. The wind ruffled her puffy hair and she shivered, glad she had the Machamp to brace her.

”Heatran, heatran!” She called, voice lost to the winds. She tried again, putting her hands around her mouth. “Heatran, hello! I have brought... snacks...”

Her voice faded as the warning glow of heat touched her skin, and her eyes reflected orange flames.

Melody heard michiko's request for raggae and then heard zac's request for kpop and wondered what type of music to play. She stood there and hummed for a bit trying to figure out what exactly to do, she decided to give the best of both worlds. She made a playlist that had both types of music playing. "We can do both then!" she said as she spoke out-loud and began to gather together some songs to play before she put her phone on the table and allowed it to play the playlist she gathered "The songs will alternate between the two. Anyone feel free to change it!" she said as she went over to see how she could help. She sent her primarina to go cool down the lava into solid matter that could be touched. Her rilaboom helped by beating it's drum and using vines to help tie things up together and make the overall structure more sound. she was still being rather shy at the moment because she didnt really know many people here so she just hummed along to the music and watched the entire construction from a safe distance and cheered on her pokemon.

With him bringing snacks, it’s not too long before he notices a familiar presence—and a really petty one at that.

“Oh, stop being so petty about your macarons, what if they break teeth again,” he snarled for a few seconds at the other person who had bumped him out of the way to offer their own baked goodies. “At least I won’t be responsible for anyone’s unscheduled dental appointment due to their teeth breaking or some such,” he added with a huff for a few seconds.

Resisting the urge to roll his eyes at the petty idiot who proclaimed that their macarons are better, he cast a disdainful eye at the other lot of brownies—and immediately had his suspicions.

How did he know?

Alexei just knew the composition of literally ‘spiked’ brownies. Casting a furtive glance around, he pondered quietly.

“I am not going to be responsible if any minors take some of your brownies,” he added in a scathing hiss as he set up his own distribution table. No, the alcohol-infused brownies were going to stay hidden until anyone over the legal age limit asked for them.

He didn’t want to be the one responsible for a bunch of drunk minors throwing themselves into the pool of lava below.

"Schedulin', for one." Doug said at Zac's question, crossing his arms over his chest. "Ya don't need me to tell ya these guys need to rest eventually, I hope."

Just like any other workers.

"On top o' workin' hours, we also need to run numbers on how much it's gonna cost to feed these guys." He said, swiveling his gaze away from Zac towards Michiko and the Brownie brigade, the argument between the two men going mostly ignored. "I love free food. but we can't just coast by on the lady's donation and Ki's jawbreakers. These big guys require a lotta food."

And he wasn't about to drop the costs on the cute, messy lady. Maybe on Ki, since he claimed to be rich.

Finally, he turned his gaze back to the tower, cupping his cheek as he pursed his lips, tilting a brow at the massive thing.

"Finally... The sky goes up 'bout 9 or so miles. That's a lotta space to traverse for our workers just to get down while tired- and heck, it's a lot to get up at just to start workin'. Accidents happen." He crossed his arms. "It is a tower, though. Maybe should try and make a few resting spaces inside as we go up? Give 'em restin' havens."

And that was really just the tip of the iceberg, as far as such a monumental construction effort was concerned. Doug was worried that once they got to a certain size, it would all just fall apart on its own. But that was something to worry about later.

Doug had a good point. Three, actually, and they sounded like the tip of the Avalugg: a deadly ocean predator simply masquerading as a slighty-less-dangerous iceberg.
"Okay, so, uh, i've got an idea." Zac reached into one of the bags of tools. He pulled out a collapsible camping tent, a muffin tray, three XL welding masks and a signed and laminated centerfold spread of world-famous archeologist Michales Theodoropolous. "Nah, it's not in here," Zac said, putting everything back into the bag. He patted the pockets of his Golden Explorer's Jacket.
    He pulled a thin pad out of his inner pocket. To a casual observer it might look like a reporter's pad. It was rectangular, with the seam at one of the thin ends. Zac opened it horizontally to reveal the stubs of many torn out pages. He pulled out a pen and started writing. "Okay. You've got military knowledge and connections right? Well I'm putting you in charge of logistics. Food, additional safety equipment, fireproof pillows, uh, and whatever else we need."
    Zac tore off the page and handed it to Doug, but instead of a lined shopping list, it was a cheque for ₽15,000. "Let me know when that runs dry."

FROM AFAR, A HARSH BLAST OF WATER slams into the tower. steam sizzles from the point of impact; vapors rise like spirits from the earth where the drops of water have fallen.

"INSOLENT HUMANS. HAVE YOU NO HUMILITY?!"

a booming, masculine voice rings out. it reverberates, as if being spoken through a metal tube or iron-cast heart. from the air, a crimson beast lands on all fours. steam billows out from its arm-like cannons. they spread out like terrifying tentacles before facing the group. the cannons open, promising punishment.

"I DO NOT TRUST THE MOTIVES BEHIND THE MANUFACTURING OF THIS MONUMENT. EVEN WORSE, IT IS AN EYESORE. I SHALL DESTROY IT. DO NOT GET IN MY WAY."

the volcanion attacks. none of you have ever heard of this pokemon or have seen this pokemon before aside from Alexei Ivanov, who encountered it awhile ago.

INSTRUCTIONS
feel free to moderate the volcanion's attacks. by the end of the thread, the volcanion will leave, for it can not be caught.
