MEGATHREAD

OPEN

SET: NOVEMBER 25TH

ENDS: DECEMBER 31ST

BACK TO WORK

It's been a week since the impending meteor impact was successfully averted, and the barrier cutting Hoenn off from the rest of the world mysteriously dropped. Old and new frontiers alike have opened up to the region, but many civilians find themselves concerned with a problem a little closer to home.

[break][break]

The whole end of the world thing might've encouraged a few people here and there to enjoy their remaining days without the pressures of capitalism weighing them down. A week after the averted meteor impact, however, and the effects of these mass resignations-followed by several more citizens seizing the destruction of the barrier to flee the danger-prone region-are beginning to take their toll on many of Hoenn's businesses.

[break][break]

Facing the threat of a full-on economic collapse, several business owners have come together to set up an emergency job fair in the middle of Slateport Park. Booths have been raised as far as the eye can see, and despite the dire circumstances most people seem to be having a good time perusing the stalls, getting a bite from the various vendors, and reacquainting themselves with their local businesses.

INSTRUCTIONS

[attr="class","ynospace"]
This is a relaxed megathread that exists to spotlight Hoenn's many businesses, corporations, and nonprofits in the aftermath of the events of PAAA.
There are no rewards for participating, this a purely social event that exists to connect people with local business owners and potential employers, for those interested in those kinds of plots.
This thread is mod-less and there will be no updates until it closes on December 31st (or the morning of January 1st, depending on my work schedule lol).

POTENTIAL PROMPTS

[attr="class","ynospace"]
Set up a booth and pass out some brochures or samples of your wares or hoard samples from other stalls
Discover a business you've never heard of before
Apply for a job or make a pitch to a potential employee
Establish a rivalry with another business or bond over the effect recent events have had on your profits

"Where are they?" Locke grumbled, glancing out at the crowd of people. The trees of the park were doing their best to shield its patrons against the autumn winds, but the poles of their tent still needed bracing, and he was pretty sure his hand was going freeze in place if he had to hold this one down any longer.

[break][break]

Finally, De-De returned, though notably alone and with a pair of hotdogs instead of the sandbags he'd asked her to get. Something in his face must of tipped the penguin off to his displeasure, as she approached with a footlong outstretched between them like a shield.

[break][break]

The courier accepted their lunch with a sigh, resigning themselves to sitting in place while the rest of the flock unsteadily towered themselves to pin a waving sign above them.

but while some of his staff tend to the booth, he is allowed a moment to step away to peruse the other tents. he comes across a familiar face, and it's the first one he decides to visit.[break][break]

The destruction of METENO 99943's barrier changed Hoenn, and the entire world, yet again. In the long term, it would be for the better, but Hoenn and her businesses had many, many growing pains to work through first. During the months Hoenn was locked away, the new Mauville City Gym had gained a reputation for being one of the most fun, yet tough, Gyms in all of Hoenn. He had a reputation to live up to, after all; John Sullivan , Katherine Fairburne , and cait alfric before him were some of the toughest and most successful Gym Leaders of their time. Unbeknownst to him, all three of them were also Avatars. If he knew, he could only have hoped that trend continued, despite the very real looming danger the DRK Triad posed. To Josh, that was yet another reason to seek out Raikou. There was way too much nonsense going on in Hoenn, and he felt it was his duty and destiny to put it to a stop.

But that was not today. Today, Slateport City was hosting the largest job fair in Hoenn's history. As soon as the destruction of the barrier made national news, Mauville City Gym received a flood of calls from all over the world, inquiring about appointments. His queue had ballooned from two weeks to three months, and his staff were overwhelmed. In particular, he had received a large number of applicants from the Paldean Cyclizar Racing League.

He needed staff.

Fortunately for Josh, he had the day off. No Ranger contracts, his Gym was closed because it was Unovan Black Friday, and it was the racing off-season. He could spend the day trying to bring new hires in. Five Gym Trainers wasn't enough to keep the place running. The Gym Leader took the opportunity to set up a booth with ample signage advertising his Gym's openings.

Not long after Josh was set up, he asked his secretaries, SHELLY SPIEL and MISSY JAMISON to attend to the booth. He wandered about, the reins of his Manectric, Saber, in hand. Noticing Locke Jamison and MATIAS SILPH making both idle chatter and business talk, the Leader and Electric-type approached the two. "How goes, Matias!" Josh greeted the standing Elite Four member. "Brand new world, huh? Did I tell you I'm already getting calls from Paldeans looking to challenge my Gym?"

He turned his attention to Locke. "Good morning! Senior Ranger Devlin or Gym Leader Devlin, but I go by Josh. Does Delibird Deliveries take contract work? With the racing season over and Ranger work being slow this time of year, I'm looking for some contracts to fill the gaps." He want on to describe the myriad of Pokémon he had, all trained to bear a rider, that would be quite helpful for the job, and some of his history with delivery operations from the Hoenn Rangers' VALOR Initiative.

Prickling apprehension soured Locke's appetite as he saw MATIAS SILPH approach, but he managed to pull together a mask of customer service before the other man arrived.

[break][break]

"Seems a bit beneath you doesn't it?" he joked good-naturedly. "Is the League not paying its Elite Four enough?"

[break][break]

It wasn't necessarily that he hated or never wanted to see Matias, but their previous conversation hung even heavier in their mind now with the resurrection of Chu-e Choi, their discussion with FERNANDO SILPH on the events of the Darkest Day, and their brief confrontation with both brothers in the cyber dimension.

[break][break]

So it was with secret gratitude that the two were suddenly joined by a third person-one with a more serious interest in applying. This guy came on strong, with a confidence Locke might've tried to match if he wasn't forced to stare up at him from the grass.

[break][break]

"W-Well," they began, after hearing out the man's frankly impressive qualifications. Honestly a little too impressive for a relatively menial job like postal work.

[break][break]

Maybe the League really wasn't paying enough.

[break][break]

"We're not really looking for any inland contracts at the moment, and I already have another business in mind for our inter-regional deliveries..."

[break][break]

But there were certainly other benefits to be considered for partnering with this particular person. Recognition had settled in over the course of the conversation, and there were few better people to have on their payroll than an actual professional racer like Josh Devlin.

[break][break]

"But I think we could figure out a part-time or seasonal position that works around your schedule," they offered. "There might not be much racing going on during the holiday season, but it goes without saying that this is the busiest time of year for us. Any little bit helps really.

[break][break]

"Actually," they added, "I'd been meaning to look into how to go about sponsoring a racer once the next racing season starts. I guess you'd be the person ask about that?"

their previous interactions seem to not have affected matias, or at least that's the way he wants it to appear. he does well to present this stoic facade but the weathering signs are visible to those who look close enough.[break][break]

"beneath me? nah, i think i'd fit right in. virizion would love it."[break][break]

but the arrival of Josh Devlin signals an end to their personal conversation. he turns, nodding his head at the gym leader in greeting.[break][break]

"delibird deliveries would only be sponsoring one of the best racers in hoenn!"[break][break]

he places a hand on Josh Devlin's shoulder, squeezing once for emphasis.[break][break]

"locke's good people. i hope you two work something out."[break][break]

and then he steps away to browse the rest of the fair.[break][break]

Josh remained silent through the duo's conversation. It seemed the pay bump between Gym Leader and Elite Four member was middling at best. When the previous Mauville Leader had urged them to unionize, he wasn't kidding. If he wasn't already famous from being in sports, Josh would have had a hard time, what with everything in Mauville being so expensive.

The young racer smiled when his friend MATIAS SILPH started upselling him to Locke Jamison , flinching when the Volatile squeezed his shoulder. The confident one had the strength of his Patron, that much was for certain. "See you around!" Saber barked toward Matias to say hello-and-goodbye.

Next, the two turned back toward the Delibird Deliveries manager, Josh resting his right hand on his Manectric's saddle, crafted in the likeness of Raikou's thundercloud. It was the one thing from the costume contests last month he liked so much that it would simply be a permanent part of the electric-type's looks now. "Thank you for working with me," Josh replied, the Gym Leader and racer grateful that even if he couldn't do gig work, there were at least low-commitment positions available. "A seasonal position would be great to have in the off-season. And with Ranger work being contractual, the only thing I need to schedule around are my Gym challenges. With the barrier gone, the number of out-of-region challenges I've received is...absurd, to say the least." Many of those challengers weren't even interested in Hoenn's Pokémon League; the vast majority of them were PRF superfans or just liked the uniqueness of his custom challenge.

Josh's eyes lit up when Locke mentioned the idea of sponsorship. He looked like he wanted to give the man a hug. "I..." His heart skipped a beat, stunned. "I...would love to discuss that with you. As the Pokémon Racing Federation's Hoenn ambassador, it would help immensely not only personally, but our region as a whole. Imagine being able to send a few of our best to an inter-regional meet!"

tl;dr:

- Josh waves goodbye to MATIAS SILPH .
- Josh discusses the idea of seasonal delivery work with Locke Jamison , then is just floored by the possibility of sponsorship.
- Still open to interaction!

La Vie en Rose

[break][break]

[break]

Elisabeth's setting up of a stall on behalf of Fiorelli Floristry had become second-nature. Months of ingratiating herself to the locals of Petalburg City had more than paid off in that respect.

Which was to say, this routine was old hat.

The rose-pink tablecloth of the florist's booth was crisp and clean, embroidered with flowers and embellished with the name of her flower shop. Several bouquets had been set up for admiring, showcasing the wide range of assortments available for order.

Her Roselia stood close by her with free flowers to hand to passerby, while her Bellossom manned the booth itself with a winsome smile, small cups of lavender tea and bite-sized macarons stamped with flowers available for consumption. An Aromatisse twirled about with a sample Kalosian perfume, the glass atomizer glittering enchantingly in the light.

It was possible that ana fell might come by later to help run the booth, but the Instagram postings that she had done to spotlight the event were more than enough to advertise. If Cyg wanted to spend the day working on a motorcycle with Isaac Merlo or something, Elisabeth could hardly blame her.

Socializing could be exhausting.

The blonde stood behind the booth with quiet poise, a practised smile forcing a sense of pleasantness and affability that, to be honest, she didn't exactly feel at this moment in time.

This was work, plain and simple.

TLDR:

We chilling at the flower shop booth.
Free samples of desserts, tea, perfume spritzes, and flowers available for taking.
We have NPC smiles ready and are open to interaction!

[attr="class","aurelie_lyrics"]Here for the job

[attr="class","aurelie_body"]At first glance, a job fair didn't seem like an event that should normally attract Aurelie's attention, let alone attendance. After all, she wasn't looking for a job, nor did she particularly want to hire anyone at the moment. (Well, maybe a receptionist or accountant eventually, but not now.) This particular job fair, though, also seemed to welcome businesses who wanted to advertise their trade and work, and Aurelie was all in favor of promoting the Iron Lady Forge whenever she could.

Thus, on the far end of the fair, Aurelie set up a small booth, slightly more elaborate than the booth she'd used at the Slateport Splashfest. A three-sided black tent provided shade overhead and kept off most of the chilly autumn wind, while a large banner depicting an adorable Flareon next to the words "Iron Lady Forge" in fiery red lettering hung just above the tent's entrance. Inside the tent, Aurelie had assembled a few folding chairs and tables to hold leaflets and brochures advertising her bladesmithing business, as well as a sample case containing some of her favorite knives and bladed products. Posters describing the forging process from start to finish decorated a bulletin board in the back, along with photos and testimonials from some of her customers.

Last, but not least, Aurelie had ordered a few more crates of bottled water with a miniature version of the Flareon banner as the label. Hydration was always important, and visitors to the fair would probably appreciate a free bottle of water while they moseyed about the stalls and booths, right? It might not be the most original giveaway idea, compared to the raffles and prizes she saw other stalls doing, but it was a classic.

She sat behind the tables in her tent, huddled inside her peacoat with her hands in her pockets, and watched people wander through the fair, chatting and looking around. Being utterly normal, in fact. It was strange to think that something close to "normal life" might resume in Hoenn for a while, now that the meteoroid apocalypse had been averted and the barrier around the region had disappeared.

Of course, for all she knew, there would be another catastrophe in Hoenn next week, or next month, or next year. Who could tell what the future held? But Aurelie had to admit, the thought of returning to normalcy for a while was seductive.

Her Flareon was in attendance for this particular fair, sitting curled up at her feet and radiating warmth as effectively as any heating pad, for which Aurelie was grateful. Every now and then, the smell of sausages, fries, and cheese wafted through the air, making the red-haired smith's stomach grumble. At one point, she thought she saw a penguin-like Pokemon carrying hot dogs waddling past, which made her chuckle and her mouth water simultaneously.

"Maybe I ought to consider getting something to eat too. What do you think?" she remarked playfully to her Flareon, reaching down to pat his warm fur. "After all, it wouldn't be very tasteful to become known as the Slobbering Lady Forge, would it?"

[attr="class","aurelie_tag"]

- Manning a booth for the Iron Lady Forge

his memory fails him—not that it could be blamed as the last time they saw each other, he'd been riding the fading waves of adrenaline and instinct, unable to register much beyond ally or foe—but the sight of Elisabeth Fiorelli is a familiar one.[break][break]

perhaps, it's for that reason that he decides to approach, straying away from his original course towards Aurelie Lefevre's iron lady forge.[break][break]

he offers a faint smile as his eyes peruse the vibrant flowers laid out before him.[break][break]

Two men turned away from him to exchange goodbyes, and Locke let their expression fall into uncertainty and the slightest hint of guilt. Maybe it was just a Silph thing, but MATIAS SILPH was every bit as unreadable as his brother.

"That sounds like it'd be fun to watch," they agreed, their face once again masked with politeness. "Hoenn doesn't have as much land to work with as other regions, so I was amazed anyone had managed to set up a track at all here."

[break][break]

He briefly turned away from their prospective employee back to the table, calling for his Delibird companion. "De-De, clipboard?"

The papers were passed from table to penguin to Locke, who held them out to Josh Devlin.

"Go ahead and fill out those. My email's at the top, so we can work out scheduling and talk more about the sponsorship through there.

[break][break]

"Oh! And if you're in the market for more of those," he added, indicating to the Manetric's decked-out saddle, "you ought to swing by the Iron Lady's booth. I've heard Aurelie Lefevre's stuff is high quality, if you've got the money for it."

HOENN JOB FAIR MEGATHREAD

[attr="class","zevhbody"]

Even without the dome vanishing and many people leaving Hoenn for a safer life elsewhere, or quitting because they thought the apocalypse was well and truly happening, Howling at the Moon was no stranger to the steady flux of employees. The hospitality industry saw high turnover at all times, and a few of the people attracted to the bar after Splashfest had since quit for other work. So, as soon as word reached Zev of the job fair, he signed up for a booth for his bar.[break][break]

Like their setup at Splashfest, Howling at the Moon sold drinks and offered free food samples to fair attendees. Their menu that day included beer on tap, an assortment of liquors and mixers for cocktails with fewer ingredients, soda, and bottles of water. Every employee working at the booth that day, including Zev himself, wore a black jacket with the bar's logo over the left breast.[break][break]

"I'm going to take a break to walk around the fair," Zev told his staff, which might include one Isaac Merlo, if he had volunteered to be there. He flashed them all a practiced smile. "Be back in a bit. Luna, you coming?"[break][break]

The Lycanroc emerged from under the table where she'd been resting, her tail wagging and her ears perked up with interest. She fell into step beside Zev as he walked off, a map of the fair in one hand and a plastic cup of beer in the other. In no time, they made their way to Aurelie Lefevre's stall, Zev's first stop. Upon arrival, he offered the cup of beer for her to take.[break][break]

"Hey," he said cheerily, keeping up his mask of a very normal human bartender since they were in a crowded, public space. "Brought you this in case you were thirsty, but I'm guessing you aren't." He chuckled at the crates of bottled water at the back of her booth.

Hoenn Job Fair
Only real poster children in this house.

If MATIAS SILPH walked about, someone still had to watch over the booth.

A poster child for the boomers, another one for the zoomers, if you will.

Said zoomer poster child was the freshly promoted Lieutenant Colonel John Douglas Sullivan, hard at work and demonstrating how he got the job with his utter calm in the face of the public.

He was so calm in fact, one might mistake him for being asleep. What with how far back he had reclined in his seat, and the fact he put up his boots on the booth's table, and was occasionally releasing low, snores, all while maintaining his cap's brim strategically placed to cover his eyes...

... Wait a minute.

-Open for interaction and junk!

...Well. This was unexpected.

Elisabeth blinked at the Groudon Avatar who had almost killed her, Felix Gallagher, and jayden cross not so long ago in Littleroot, and flashed him a perfectly manicured smile that betrayed nothing of the unpleasant memory his face invoked in her.

"We're located in Petalburg, actually," she said politely. "But perhaps you remember us from our opening sale during February. We were working regionwide at that time." A brief pause settled, before she added with a soft laugh, "Or it's possible I have dunked you at Splashfest. I was a bit overzealous in that activity."

Her Roselia, ever the professional, handed the Elite Four member a single red rose for him to sample.

"I have to say, you're an unexpected sight at a flower stall," Elisabeth teased lightly. "It can't be to recruit florists to the military. Are you looking for a gift, maybe?"

People talked, and she distantly remembered hearing something about him and Eva Morales. Another unexpected pairing, if she was to be honest, but who was she to judge someone else's taste in men?

TLDR:

We chilling at the flower shop booth with MATIAS SILPH.
Free samples of desserts, tea, perfume spritzes, and flowers available for taking.
We have NPC smiles ready and are open to interaction!
