❀ PINKAN ISLAND ADVENTURE
POSTED ON Jul 2, 2022 16:46:44 GMT
[nospaces] [attr="class","omgen"] [attr="class","omgentop"]❀ PINKAN ISLAND ADVENTURE [attr="class","omgenmid"] EVENT START! NON-DE RAID SETTING: PINKAN ISLAND [player]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/442846760642281472/984281752803614750/Mewmore_x_Dasgust_Summer_in_Lacu_getmp3.pro.mp3[/player] [break] A TIMELY ARRIVAL [break] by the time you arrive, the sun is low in an orange sky. the navigation to the shore is surprisingly perilous; the sea surrounding the island is infested with whirlpools. but the ship's captain maneuvers around them with expert ease, alluding to extensive experience with the terrain.[break][break]
as the island draws ever closer, you can see why it has a reputation as being so inaccessible. most of the island is on a sheer cliff face, rocky walls extending at least half a kilometer high. a narrow portion slopes into the sea, providing a sliver of beach that houses a dock and ramshackle boathouse. the boat docks here, sliding into port as easily as a needle through lace.[break][break]
the door to the wheelhouse opens and the captain steps out. just as before, when you boarded the ship, he says nothing as he sweeps through the main cabin and onto the bow. with an agility surprising for his age, he leaps from the bow and onto the dock, tying the boat into place with a similar gusto as passengers depart (safely) from a ladder at the stern.[break][break]
you’ve arrived! the excitement is palpable as the group gathers along the shore, carting belongins and any drinks or food they might have smuggled off the boat. your captain remains silent as he finishes his duties, glances back at the group, and starts to walk up the beach. he indicates you follow with a jerk of his head and a gruff cough. [break][break]
pinkan island looms overhead as you make the trek up the beach. smooth sand gives way to a winding, rocky trail, and eventually soft grass and a canopy of trees. and, most notably, an explosion of pink.[break][break]
though spring is long over, many of the trees flower with brilliant pink blossoms. the trail you walk is similarly framed by bubblegum blooms. some of the flowers are dark, almost red, while others blush with a more purplish hue. not all of the trees are affected, some still bearing verdant leaves that rustle gently in the evening breeze. they carry clusters of round, pink berries that look somewhat like a hybrid of a pecha and cheri berry.[break][break]
your guide leads you deeper into the forest, his dark coat fluttering behind him. faintly you can hear the sound of birds calling and the rustling of leaves, but there are no pokemon in sight. additionally, anyone attempting to take pictures of the brilliant flora might realize that their phones or other devices are malfunctioning. the screen glitches, and pictures come out blurry and unfocused. there is no cell service or any kind of internet connection.[break][break]
after a fifteen minute hike, you reach a clearing in the roseate flora. a cozy log cabin rests here, with a handpainted sign over the door indicating it as a ranger base. there are a few other buildings nearby, though none of them are marked. the door of the base slams open and a woman stalks out, clearly upset.[break][break]
“what are you doing here? i’ve never seen you before- the island is off-limits to visitors!” she glowers and reaches for a pokeball at her hip.[break][break]
the captain clears his throat. [break][break]
“oh. wait...that’s today?” she pulls a device out of a pouch at her waist; it looks like a sat phone. the ranger taps the screen, frowns, and places it back in her pocket. [break][break]
“right. uh...sorry about that. welcome to pinkan island,” she says, compensating for her rudeness with a sheepish smile. “my name is zinnia, and i’m a head ranger here. we’re happy to have you here to help with our relief efforts.” the introduction sounds rehearsed and rigid and peters into an embarrassed silence. the captain rolls his eyes and wanders off as zinnia flounders for something to say.[break][break]
“it’s getting late,” she comments after a moment of silence, glancing up as the sky bleeds pink and orange. “follow me, and we’ll get you settled in.”[break][break]
zinnia leads the group behind the base, where a sprawling campsite has been erected. fifteen two-person tents are circled around a large firepit. the captain crouches nearby, already starting a fire that roars to life with a merry crackle.[break][break]
“we’ll get to work tomorrow morning. first thing. stay in the campsite overnight...no wandering off, please.” she shifts awkwardly from foot to foot. “if you have any questions, ask now. if not, uh...stay put, and goodnight?”[break][break]
