LEAGUE BARRACKS 3F


INTRODUCTION




 A STRENUOUS CLIMB UP never ending stairs return them to the first floor. the CURATOR leads them back without much conversation. any questions or comments are met with disdainful rebukes, placing the blame on them for trespassing in the first place.

when they step onto the first floor, the entire hall begins to shake. boxes fall over and the velvet stands rattle with metallic clinks.

oh my god—” a moment passes and everything stills. “no. no. no. it’s too early.

frustration echoes from the click of her stilettos when she takes off at an impressive speed. the two of them are forgotten as she runs back to the main gallery.

spiral!

the unown-! from earlier peeks out from behind them, whizzing past to follow after the curator.

OBJECTIVES


for luka + paxton


  • post at least 1 time each.
  • both participants should reference the museum shaking.
  • both participants should reference either:
    • following after the curator.
    • trying to escape the museum.


AT LILYCOVE HEADQUARTERS, and his company are debriefed on the situation: several rangers have already answered the call to assist at MOUNT PYRE and ROUTE 120. the rangers ask them to serve as reinforcements, allowing them to pick which one at their discretion.

on the way to assist, the group passes by lilycove museum. as they pass by, the whole building starts to shudder. there’s no visible EARTHQUAKE or other influence, just a contained convulsion that remains within the boundaries of the building.

as employees and visitors flood out of the entrance, you’re able to discern several shady figures slip around back. they weave through the sea of people, seemingly blipping out of sight when it becomes too hard to pass.

a strange symbol marks the back of their uniform. and may vaguely recall this logo, sparking their suspicion, but they cannot recall where.

OBJECTIVES


for evelyn + cian + greyson


  • post at least 1 time each.
  • at least 1 participant must reference what's happening at the museum.
  • at least 1 participant reference the shady figures.
  • all participants must reference entering the museum's back entrance.


you may submit this thread to mod reqs and tag in the ranger raid redux channel when you have finished the objectives!

this thread should be complete by mid-may.

"understood — we'll move to reinforce them."

snapping a quick salute greyson turns on his heel and marches out the door alongside the other two. his expression darkens and mind races as he tries to come up with an idea of what was happening.

he was in mid-thought when the nearby building — a museum — begins to convulse and shudder. greyson stops, fearing an earthquake, but nothing comes. his eyes scan the growing crowd, narrowing as he catches something that tickles a part of his brain he can't place. what the hell was that symbol?

"look," he says, pointing at the group of individuals that just looked out of place, "quick, let's follow them. around the back. keep your eyes up."

breaking through the mass of people was the most difficult part, and by the time they arrive, the shady group had vanished. seemingly into the back door. he speaks up again, voice strained with the anxiety and nerves of whatever the fuck was going on.

"we need to go in."

"what the fuck?"

cian braces himself, expecting the ground around them to start shaking as well only to feel nothing. it's just the building.

"it's not just me, right? the building is shaking?"

and it's from within the building that he sees groups of people; naturally, the odd ones stand out. there's something familiar about the symbol on the back of their uniforms but he can't quite place it.

now at the back entrance, cian nods, agreeing with .

"sir yes sir."

his kecleon's COLOR CHANGE shifts, blending it into their surroundings as they step through the back entrance.

As Evelyn brought up the rear, she felt the ground shake, almost like a Pokemon released an EARTHQUAKE in the area. She paused, looking around to see if she could find a culprit. But there wasn't one there.

There was just a flood of people rushing from the museum in panic.

Sticking close to the other two men, she looked back to reply to .

"No, I felt it too," she confirmed, holding daintily to his shirt sleeve as the crowd rushed past.

Evelyn was distracted by the herd of individuals that she didn't catch the logos that made the suspicious people stand out. So when proposed they followed, she was confused, catching a glimpse too late of their figures disappearing. However, if they were in agreement, she'd go along too.

"Alright. Lead the way."

The climb up is tense, especially after losing his Graveler to...whatever Glaciate Ice was. It felt even longer than the walk downstairs had been. And then the shaking started- and earthquake? "Luka-! Watch out!" he blurted out turning to grab her, eyes up above to watch for anything falling from the ceiling while he tried to keep his balance. He's not sure where the curator is going, but it didn't sound good. "She's shaken- let's get back to the gallery." [break][break]

With that he sprinted right after her. He's only a few feet away before stopping and turning to Luka. "Sorry!" he said looking down at the heels she'd been working with. He rushed back, uttering a quick 'sorry' before scooping her up with a grunt and gripping her tight to his chest. "I'm not drooping you" he said as he held her up before taking off after the curator.

The climb up is miserable.[break][break]

Each step behind the curator feels like marching to a funeral dirge.[break][break]

As they walk, Luka weeps silently for the Golem they'd left behind and every Pokemon left to a chilling end in the museum archives. She had never seen a Pokemon die before.[break][break]But she'd tried to save them, and she'd failed, and somehow that makes it worse. Her tears won't solve anything, but she's likely the first to mourn for those poor souls. And that's something, isn't it? Immortality in thought.[break][break]

Her sorrowful sentiments draw to an abrupt halt when the hall begins to shake. Luka grabs onto Paxton's arm for support, a white-knuckled cling. Her eyes go wide, spring green staring after the curator as she flees and takes the Unown with her.[break][break]

She can hear in the distance the sound of shattering glass and surprised distress from the other patrons. Before she can suggest they make a break for it themselves, Paxton scoops her up and she's helpless to resist, able only to squeak in surprise and wind her arms around him.[break][break]

"Ah...w-what? Oh. It's okay! I trust you, but..."[break][break]

Is following the curator really for the best? What if they stumble upon something else they aren't supposed to see? Luka chews on her lip as Paxton carries her through the museum and resolves that this time, she won't let allow a bitter fate to befall anything else.

LEAGUE BARRACKS 3F


EXCURSION PROMPT




 CHAOS FUNNELS EVERYONE into the MAIN GALLERY located on the first floor. it lies deep within the building, closer to the back entrance the SHADY FIGURES have snuck into. with people evacuating through the main entrance, it becomes clear who is who in the wide berth of an emptying museum.

the SHADY FIGURES have the same appearance as the ASSASSINS present at the STAR SOIREE. their black uniforms hide any definitive features but even an inattentive glance will realize they lack the long white hair shared by certain individuals.

one of their unown attacks with HIDDEN POWER, barely missing as the CURATOR starts to step back from their encroachment. the attack continues its flight path until it inadvertently strikes one of the gallery pieces, causing it to disappear.

melly! let’s do it!

the CURATOR and her MELOETTA both place their hands over their chest before harmonizing a deep and bold RELIC SONG. with every ‘la’ they bellow the area begins to shake, visible shockwave riveting from their concussive song.

RELIC SONG is not a standard move. this move cannot be copied by traditional methods such as MIMIC, MIRROR MOVE, etc. SKETCHING it allows the user to use it ONCE before it is forgotten.


for reasons unknown, DREAM MIST begins to sprawl from the open space the RELIC SONG seemingly cracks. spools of cotton candy shaped gas start to seep into existence until the crescendo of their song ends with a foreboding hiss. visible fractures give way until the INTERDREAM ZONE spills out in full.




the DREAM MIST floods into the room well until visibility becomes scarce. when these clouds touch you, portions of your past come to life. dreams are harbored, tied to each individual, and intermingled as you come into contact with one another.

but the assassins remain. the sound of their attacks pierce through the scenery and characters realized by your subconsciousness. and despite this, they are not your only enemies.

screams can be heard from deep within these dreams. corruption is rife within this plane. rampant and uncorrected from previous attempts. occasionally, the unnerving feeling of being watched will reveal an eye in the distance, blinking once before fading back into the mist.





i guess our time here is up. melly~

the CURATOR’s last words wisp between the mayhem as her unown starts to spiral around her. much like the assassins before her, she flattens into a two dimensional form, exploding into a blend of yellow and black pixels.


OBJECTIVES


  • survive your time during the INTERDREAM ZONE.
  • your past and dreams will be realized and subsequently corrupted. feel free to describe them at your own discretion. you may create some scenarios that are not directly related to the below prompts.
  • portions of ’s battles in kanto will be recreated. instead of dying under enemy fire, have one of his past allies killed by an ASSASSIN.
  • ’s past lover will be recreated from her memories / desires for him. have him killed by an ASSASSIN.
  • create or reference a scene with a maher that’s on-site. should witness them being killed by an ASSASSIN.
  • have at least 1 pokemon DISAPPEARED by an ASSASSIN. you will not be able to save, recollect, or retain this pokemon in anyway. they are effectively ‘killed’.
  • while navigating the INTERDREAM ZONE, your characters may catch sight of a CRESSELIA. they cannot interact with this pokemon. however, it will bestow them a LUNAR BLESSING before disappearing.
  • by the end of the thread, the ASSASSINS will retreat and the INTERDREAM ZONE will be sealed on its own accord. you may defeat but cannot capture or steal anything from these ASSASSINS.


you may submit this thread to mod reqs and tag in the ranger raid redux channel when you have finished the objectives!

this thread should be complete by the end of may.

"that's..."

even through the chaos, recognition strikes, and a pointing finger follows after the group of shady figures.

"them! from the star soiree!"

but the assassins aren't the only ones who catch his attention. his finger points to a familiar pair. it would be difficult not to recognize her pink hair and appearance.

"luka!"

and who's that with her? . but it's not like cian recognizes him yet.

but as the DREAM MIST starts to pour out all around them, cian can do no more but attempt to cross the threshold to try and get to .

"come on!"

Evelyn was following behind Cian, her grip on him having loosened now as he took off. Everything was in chaos as they ran, and she wasn’t sure what was going on. But in the midst of their run, she spotted a familiar head in the crowd.

Was it…

”Liam…?”

Her fiancé, who she thought — no, she knew was dead, turned around, looking at her with the same blue eyes she fell in love with. Ever warm, ever kind. He smiled, his hand reaching out toward her. Evelyn wandered from the group, her steps slow.

Until she was running.

”LIAM!”

His arms opened, to catch her and hold her. But as she came close, a knife appeared through his chest, red glistening on the other end. Just like before, he was gone. He looked down, staring at the knife before looking back at her.

”Eve…”

He fell, leaving her standing in front of his body. Evelyn didn’t hear anything, but a scream wrenched from her mouth as she fell down, knees becoming bloodied by his blood.

What The fuck is going on? That's the main question, with patrons and guests rushing out. As the place cleared, he set down eyes on the curator. No sooner that he spotted her, he also saw strange figures with Unown of their own. The shots fired disappearing gallery pieces, but they chase her instead of stopping to steal more. Soon enough another rumbling struck the building thanks to the Relic Song, and Paxton just tried his best to cling to the wall and stay upright as the room filled with pink mist.

He frowned not quite understanding the true horror, but reminiscing of the pink nightmare mist from the soiree. He'd not had the chance to experience it. His luck ran out tonight though. No sooner does he order Luka to get down for fear of stray shots does he hear call out to her. [break][break]

When he turned to ask her if she knew them, he began to hear the sounds of battle from long ago. The screams of pokemon and people, the sound of weapons firing, the smell of smoke and sweat. And he saw her, in the mist. Crouched, and hurt, but still alive was . "STAY DOWN!" he shouted, leaving Luka's side and making a break for his comrade, damn near best friend. The linoleum floor seemed to warp to dirt and grass and before he can slide to her, Callie looked at him, almost pained and began to utter, "Cap-" [break][break]

Before a stray shot from the Unown turned her skull into a splatter of red. No. Fuck no. "Moon!" This can't be happening to him. His eyes go from the corpse to searching for one of the assassins ready to pounce, not thinking clearly at all. The mist allowed him a glimpse at one but before he could make the charge for them a dash of purple pink and yellow swipes the mist in the way and they disappear. Paxton's eyes are wide with shock. He's shaking. But before the Cresselia was out of his sight he cursed its name with, "You fucking BITCH?!" [break][break]

his own experience at the soiree had been different from many of the others. he hadn't seen any assassins back then, so when cian's screaming and chasing after them, he follows with a curse beneath his breath.

his own chase is halted as a violet mist begins to crawl over the floor, advancing like a slow rot. greyson's eyes widen in recognition, his step faltering. but he's not fast enough.

he's consumed by a dream.

it felt like hours, but when he comes too, mere moments have passed. a sweat creeps down his lower back and his breath comes in waves. inevitably his thoughts go back to the dream, but before he could be consumed by it, greyson tosses the images aside. he would figure it out later. he needed to be present here.

voices and screams echo from the mist but he pushes through. reaching for an orb at his waist, he contemplates the risk, but ultimately decides to accept it. in a burst of light an unown appears. the timing is impeccable as, in the corner of greyson's vision, a figure appears. "vee, go!" it shoots off a HIDDEN POWER, colliding with one that was already in transit. they warp the space around them and, as if he was staring at the event horizon of a blackhole, the V-shaped unown becomes warped alongside of it.

reality pops and greyson's ear drums pop with it, but when he looks up his eyes are wide as saucers. the assassin and both unowns were gone.

somewhere in the back of his mind he grieves for the strange pokemon.

but work was never done.

Though sets her down Luka remains at his side, as though glued there. Delicate hands grip his arm with surprising force as the dream mist overtakes them, a phenomenon that she finds herself sadly familiar with.[break][break]

Plum is summoned to her side, but there is little the Musharna can do against the nightmares that manifest around them. The swirling pink of her own dream mist is quickly overtaken by that of the dream zone, like a pond swallowed by the ocean.[break][break]

The hold on Paxton's arm is desperate now. Luka catches glimpses of his nightmares among her own, figures from a past she doesn't know and can barely begin to comprehend. The faces that haunt her are far more familiar but she's able to ignore them, Paxton's presence grounding her until he wrenches himself away.[break][break]

"Paxton, wait! It's not real, it's not-" She reaches out for him, but frantic fingertips close around empty air. It's the sudden isolation that terrifies her more than anything else— she might be able to face this with a companion, but on her own?[break][break]

You've been abandoned, a nasty voice hisses inside her head. Everyone always leaves you in the end. The whispered words echo through the dream zone as she staggers forwards, manifestations of the nightmare she lives with constantly. Who would ever stay beside a pitiful girl like you...[break][break]

Whispered voices claw up her neck and into her ears like the buzz of insect wings. They drown out the voice that calls her name, the cacophony of others' terror around her.[break][break]

But hope continues to shine where it's darkest. Amid the mist, just for a moment, she catches the glimpse of a celestial figure. It's a silhouette imprinted in her memory, a remnant of an old bedtime routine: fairy tales and a cup of warm milk, a soothing voice reading from a picture book. Wear this, her father had told her once, presenting a feather to her with a flourish. It'll keep the bad dreams from finding you.[break][break]

Luka stumbles through the dream zone on her own, seeking out that familiar shape. She tries to ignore the pine box and bleeding lilies that swarm her vision, and the voices that follow her, clinging to the hem of her skirts.[break][break]

She doesn't find Cresselia. Instead, she falls right into 's waiting arms.[break][break]

"Cian?!" she gasps out, seeking the familiar face like a sanctuary. Her hands grace his face, palms on each cheek and pinching slightly. His skin feels flushed under her hands, a bit of stubble prickling her wrists— but most importantly, he feels alive.[break][break]

"Sorry. I just had to...t-to make sure you're real," she explains needlessly. The words stick in her throat as she chokes on her fear. "Why are you- never mind. W-we need to get everyone out of here..."

and just like the star soiree, everything descends into chaos.

mid-run, cian turns over his shoulder and catches a glimpse of 's visions. though he takes it in, sympathizing and wishing he could help, his focus lies elsewhere at the moment.

but his hurried steps slow as he realizes and are both suffering from their own visions as well. he blinks, watching each one with curiosity and caution, and it isn't until 's unown's HIDDEN POWER that he snaps out of it.

"SNAP OUT OF IT, GREYSON!"

he keeps his head down, closes his eyes, and carries on. and on. and on. right up until he finds .

"luka—" his hands grace her face as well, mirroring her as he breaks into a smile. a chuckle of disbelief escapes. "what are you doing here?"

not that it matters. she's right: they need to get out of here.

his hands lower to find hers but the moment he turns, he's met with the sight of right in front of him.

"bo?"

bang!

bullet through the head, bo slumps to the ground, crumbling right before cian's feet.

+ with luka!
+ create or reference a scene with a maher that’s on-site.

's voice is a rousing summon that pulses through the mist covered landscape. greyson immediately pushes the loss of his pokemon to the back of his mind, and chases after it. it's here that he spots .
[break][break]
she's a mess, on the floor with a ruined expression. "evelyn!" his hands reach for her shoulders and finds them trembling. what had she seen? what had she experienced?
[break][break]
time was against them, if history was any proof. he needed to get her out of here.
[break][break]
"ellie, i need you to comfort her." from beneath his sleeve a small cobalt hued comfey peaks out, mewing nervously. her eyes are quick to assess the situation, despite her small and easy-going stature, and immediately begins to push out a soothing AROMATHERAPY.
[break][break]
even as adrenaline fueled as greyson was now, he could feel himself calming — a dangerous sensation in this scenario.
[break][break]
"evenlyn, get up. we need to leave NOW." greyson offers his own body as support, and seeks to usher them out as soon as he can.

Fingers twine into an anchor, swapping the gravity of one man for another. It's a tether, keeping her feet on solid ground as the world evaporates into mist all around them. And although Luka keeps an eye out for in the fog, he and his visions have disappeared from sight. She can only hope this means he's escaped, but the twisting feeling in her gut tells her that's not so.[break][break]

Verdant eyes turn to instead, silently pleading for them to press onwards until—[break][break]

BANG![break][break]

The shot rings so loud that Luka shrieks, clutching Cian's arm and burying her head into his shoulder. Even if it's all an illusion, she can't bear to look at it. [break][break]

"It's not real," she mumbles into the creases of his jacket. "It's not real..."[break][break]

She's not sure if she's trying to reassure Cian or herself.[break][break]

A trembling hand tugs his insistently forwards, away from the carnage and away from whatever visions might come for her next.[break][break] "W-where— there are others. Paxton...w-who else? I couldn't see..." Her voice flutters like a butterfly in a hurricane. "If we can find them...l-last time, to escape, they were spelling words, but..." She only has two unown of her own, and they're not likely to create anything of note. "C-cresselia could help us, maybe? I saw her, I think, a-and I don't know how else to escape..."
