ICLY SET NOV 18

WILL USE MERIT POINTS

DEATH-ENABLED RAID EVENT

STALEMATE

BATTLES ARE WAGED THROUGH FOG AND FUNERAL. There is little time to rest; the dead take respite for them.[break][break]

The meteoroid is terrifyingly visible in the heavens. Those who have the spare time to examine it would see small clouds of smoke. Fiery bulbs of explosions. Pockets of elemental color flaring out like fresh blooms.[break][break]

The League is able to defend the PRIMAL POINT miraculously enough. However, both factions find immense difficulty in their endeavors due to disrupted communications. Pivotal information is blocked or lost.[break][break]

Throughout these battles, if not at the very end, trainers convene with each other for convalescence or tend to themselves.

RECOVERY

IN THIS ROUND, you may roleplay your character healing or reviving one of their Pokemon. For flavor, you may roleplay your character healing another character's Pokemon/your character's Pokemon receiving healing from another character.[break][break]

Please indicate which of your Pokemon is being healed or revived in the TL;DR. Please use the species' name and not the Pokemon's nickname.

Briefly, communications reenter the League's ears: "primal points will be fired in... five minutes... pyre do you read me? are things okay there?"[break][break]

Suddenly, the voice dissolves into a shroud of static sound. Communications die again and any response made perishes in the radio silence.[break][break]

Around the PRIMAL POINT, the umbral surge of Rocket Boss declan walsh's shadows reappears once again. But before he can manifest entirely, a pulse of energy strikes the peak. A frustrated grunt leaves him as the energy disperses his shadowy body into mist and casts anyone near it away once again in a frustrating repeat of the past. However, this time, the space before the machine features a glowing fissure. One that travels into the air as if the air were a cracking glass pane.[break][break]

An UNOWN-D appears. Rotates around like clockwork as a black, flat panel manifests into its full rectangular shape like a virus. From the black pane, a man with black and white hair emerges fitted with a tight-fitting black suit. He smiles, flipping a golden coin in his palm.[break][break]

There is no sign of Rocket Boss Walsh anymore.

WINTER IS HERE

SOME MAY FIND THIS MAN'S MANNER FAMILIAR, for he is FATHER WINTER, the man who had thrust poor souls into alternate universes in an attempt to strand or gift them for their luck. He stands coolly and plays with something in his hand.[break][break]

"bold of you all to try and circumvent hoenn's fate."[break][break]

He speaks quickly, unwilling to let anyone take pot shots. His UNOWN-D is quick to shoot any attack down as it begins to rotate quicker and quicker, the fracture present before the PRIMAL POINT beginning to splinter into further branches. Like Lichtenberg figures, the cracks violently spread and destroy spatial integrity.[break][break]

"but we've been planning this for quite some time." Father Winter says.[break][break]

Suddenly, the fissure gives way and a sound akin to that of a thousand glass cathedrals shattering pierces the ears of everyone on the mountain. From this hovering crevasse, an enormous winged dragon-centaur, an angel of spatiality, emerges with eerie gait. Its long legs trod on the earth with its powerful hooves that trample headstones beneath grim protrusions on the knees. Amor Rose, Cillian Quinn, Martín del Mar, Remiel Calcifet, Gwyar Wledig and BARNABY FINCH, those who had taken the Past Terminal in the Cloud, would recognize this as an Origin Forme Palkia that had hatched from a celestial egg.[break][break]

Katherine Fairburne's GIRATINA would recognize the original form of its kin. Psychically, the Renegade Pokemon tells its avatar that this Palkia lives in a dimension shred to ribbons. That it is feared and unruly in this form, able to summon meteors and shockwaves on behest of its progenitor: Arceus.[break][break]

"we've tamed this one back to its more subservient form." Father Winter says. "palkia desires nothing other than the rescue of all other realities now. just like its dad. do you still want to save your hoenn knowing that?"[break][break]

The meteoroid is much larger now. A hand stretched to the sky would not cover the massive shape blocking the heavens.[break][break]

"if you want to stop me, then indulge me in a little game." A coin is flipped. The cool chime of the flick segueing into its rapid spin in the air; the scene before everyone is cause for deja vu in BARNABY FINCH's GALLADE's mind. "call it. heads or tails! you call it right, and i'll spare you. come on now. call it!"[break][break]

The ORIGIN FORME PALKIA begins to charge an attack. Pink energies tear the fabric of space in grisly cyclones behind it.

NEW MECHANIC:[break]
COIN FLIP

This round has a COIN FLIP GAME. In your post, have your character call HEADS OR TAILS. In my next mod post, I will ROLL too. If my roll is an odd number, it is heads. If my roll is an even number, it is tails.[break][break]

Please BOLD what your character has called in the TL;DR.

The PRIMAL POINT remains untouched. Faced with this otherworldly obstacle and downed comms, the factions must consider their choices:

TEAM ROCKET: Do we steal or attempt to steal a part of the primal crystal and hope that the League fires a back-up primal point? Do we activate the primal crystal instead of the League?

LEAGUE: Do we attempt to activate the primal crystal? Do we do it early or attempt to strike it at the end of the 5 minute countdown?

As the clock ticks, desperate action erupts.
