Exposition



october brings with it a veritable chill, a reminder that the seasons are changing and the holidays are just around the corner. but pleasantries are hard to come by these days with war at the forefront of daily life. yet in the midst of bloodshed are efforts to maintain some semblance of normalcy. [break][break]

sootopolis is no different.[break][break]

the city has endured many hardships over the years - the destruction of cultural heritage sites like the silver spire and the cave of origin; rocket infiltration and occupation; the list goes on and on.[break][break]

but now, for the first time in over three years, the league has a foothold in sootopolis.

[attr="class","event-content-dyk"]■ timeline [break][break]
this event takes place several weeks after the events of BATTLE OF SOOTOPOLIS.




[attr="class","event-content-box"]


[attr="class","icon-ball"]
SOOTOPOLIS RELIEF & CHARITY BANQUET



the morningstar estate has once again opened its doors to the public. with the help of local organizations and funding from the league government, the council has put together a charity banquet to raise money for rebuilding efforts for the city. 
[break][break]

[attr="class","event-content-gif"]
[attr="class","event-content-gif-dot"]

[attr="class","event-content-gif-lighten"]




[break][break]
  • food & drinks will be provided to all attendees
  • take-home kits with dry goods and essentials will likewise be provided for local residents
  • stations will be set up with information about the rebuild efforts, including but not limited to:
  •     how to apply for financial assistance
  •     food assistance
  •     small business loans
  •     unemployment benefits
  •     public relief fund
  •     amnesty program, with extra incentives for sootopolis residents to register
[break][break]

guest speakers will discuss next steps, as well as the nature of sootopolis' current occupation.

THE ESTATE



draconic filigree shapes the wrought iron gates outside of the bluffs. the once-sealed doors decorated with two dragonair twined in battle are open and through the threshold is a large hallway, its stone walls etched with depictions of the draconid people and their companions.[BREAK][BREAK]

further still, where was once the snarling and hissing of hundreds of dragons, are the sounds of people and festivities. [BREAK][BREAK]

the hallway opens to a grand cavern. stalactites dangle from the ceilings; most are held secure with iron fastenings. electric candelabras adorn the walls and cast a glow over neatly arranged, black clothed tables. those who have visited the estate before would recognize the room for what it is - a battlegrounds and training facility, transformed for the event. [BREAK][BREAK]

councilwoman stands by the entrance to welcome newcomers. league officers are on guard some distance away from her, watching the entrance for signs of disruption. [BREAK][BREAK]

god, why did miyako agree to this? it's not like she's got any sort of personal investment in this city or its politics. sootopolis is just the next logical place to search for aiko after slateport turned up nothing. but, the higher-ups decided to post her at this party and now she's stuck guarding the entrance like a glorified bouncer.[break][break]

all she wants to do is smoke a cigarette (or five), kick back with a stiff drink, and forget the league's fucking war ever existed. instead, she's been standing around in this stuffy manor, surrounded by people she could really care less about.[break][break]

war or not, life goes on as it always does. guess that applies to her work too. oh well.[break][break]

miyako yawns widely and stretches her arms above her head, hoping to shake off her growing restlessness. dull chatter washes over her as people weave past, their voices merging into a never-ending stream of nonsense.[break][break]

'they say the resistance—'[break]
'—killed her family, poor girl—'[break]
'—have you tried the canapés—'[break][break]

just once, she'd love to attend one of these shindigs as a guest. she'd stuff her face full of cake, down some expensive wine, and maybe cause a scene with a snooty politician or two for good measure. hell, maybe she'd even get herself kicked out—anything to avoid dying of boredom.[break][break]

her mind wanders, mostly as a defense mechanism to keep herself awake.

[attr="class","text"]

why...[break][break]

why has it come to this? silverio heard the news that had spread throughout the region like wildfire, regarding the primal beast who had flooded a great majority of hoenn's coastline -- which had evidently stemmed from sootopolis -- leaving many areas and the people that inhabited them severely crippled and scavenging for any salvagable resources to in order to keep themselves afloat, somewhat literally. but the damage left in the aquatic behemoth's wake itself isn't the reason for the paldea-born ranger's series of growing concerns and frustrations. no, for another reason entirely, one on the borders of illogically personal...[break][break]

because he couldn't be there to help...[break][break]

what difference could he have made anyhow? little to none, or so he had come to estimate. but alas, the damage was indeed done, and as a result, the seeds of war had planted and watered, beginning to sprout the lack of sunlight beaming down on them through overcast skies. regardless of what colleagues may be led to believe on the matter, deep down in the crevice hidden in rocky crags of his mind, silv knew what he had been at the initial point of impact: a guppy overrun by sharks...[break][break]

...which begs a question of why he's here, at some fancy schmancy get-together, in a city that is heavily impacted by waves of ensuing chaos?[break][break]

inability to devise a valid thought pertaining to any explanation, as if it matters at this point. still, courtesy is to be presented, and he can only hope it'd wind up to be contagious. with that in mind, he finds himself here; perhaps some mingling ought to do him some justice, a means to alleviate the pressure of internal woes. a sip of red wine from a glass half-filled (or half-emptied, depending one's perspective) held tightly in three fingers on one hand.[break][break]

like a wallflower itching for light in order to bloom, he stands firm, his mind drifting out on a sea of thoughts.[break][break]

to be a better comrade...

Just like the League Christmas party a year ago, the Galarian ambassador comes to the charity banquet hosted by in the Morningstar Estate, donning a dark blue formal royal gown decorated with red roses while she wears long white evening gloves. She’s able to see the decorations fill the cavern and it was clear that the councilwoman had taken care to make sure the cavernous rooms were tidy, neat, and welcoming for the people who came to attend the banquet and Sootopolis relief.[break][break]

Unless her Calyrex shard wanted to come out, she’ll leave him inside his Dive Ball right now. Instead, the female Sprigatito would be released outside of her Dusk Ball to reach for the food on the table. Elise scoops up the green kitten from the table with a click of her tongue.[break][break]

“Let me get your food, Jasmine. Don’t cause trouble.” She’d chastise the kitten before getting a plate for herself and a little plate for her Sprigatito. For Jasmine’s food, Elise cuts up some pieces of Magikarp filet for the kitten to eat while the royal takes some spring and egg rolls to eat with her drink being a glass of sparkling water.[break][break]

Setting down both plates on one of the empty tables, her Sprigatito jumps onto the table to eat her Magikarp filet piece. Elise does note the presence of the familiar ranger, one that worked under her purview. [break][break]

“Hello Silverio, I had thought I’d see you here at the banquet.” She approaches the Paldean ranger and greets him just as the female Sprigatito finishes one of her pieces of Magikarp filet to join her too. “With the flooding being present in Lilycove, I was hoping I could give funds to help with those that are homeless.”

When life gave you Applins, host a banquet to put a band-aid on the walking bullet wound that was Sootopolis City. The admin actually respected 's attempt, which was why he had decided to appear as Howard Slayte instead of Admin Fox. Besides, he couldn't devour the banquet table with his helmet on.

The luxuries of being acquainted with Freya and co, he supposed. Admin Fox was in Petalburg. Howard Slayte could appear to support the return of a major cultural site to the hands of the League.

"This bread is immaculate! Cheers to history! To Draconid culture! To biscuits shaped like Shelgons!" The archaeologist cheered as he meandered past , before stopping. "Oh."

He took a bite of his bread, slowly. He looked around, as if expecting to astral project from behind a banquet table and bash his skull in with a tire iron. When Howard decided that he was safe from deliverywomen and mechanics, he took another bite of his bread.

"It's you." Howard raised an eyebrow. "Hey. You good, traffic gal?"

He took a look at her. Definitely not.

"Bread?" He offered her a slice.

Sootopolis existed outside of the rest of Hoenn in terms of atmosphere. It felt like purgatory despite being ground zero for the disastrous combination of political agenda and outright war. A strange tension-relief rested over it, simultaneously a constant tug-of-war between sides and oddly peaceful as a result of the conflict, like it was safe now that battle had already struck. At least, that's how it felt to a non-Sootopolis citizen coming to visit. [break][break]

Clover was here because it seemed important to get a better grasp on Sootopolis. [break][break]

Not that free food hurt. He took advantage of his lack of public affiliation with Rocket in form of selecting several fine cheeses and some crackers from the buffet. Some of them had odd, multi-faceted tastes that took their taste buds down a journey. It wasn't as simple as cheddar. But Clover slowly found himself liking it. [break][break]

Consumed in the cheese plate, Clover walked around with minimal attention to his surroundings and bumped into - [break][break]

"Oh, geez, I'm so sorry, I didn't..." Clover looked up, apologetic expression fading into something confused. "Mr. Howard?" Their gaze flickered between Howard and the other guest ( ). Clover brightened. "Long time no see. Did you try the cheese?" They lifted up their plate for his view, showing a few different varieties that looked expensive.

his mind may drift along the surface of high waters, and yet his consciousness remains afloat. but for how much longer? suppose that is yet to be seen; regardless, the man be better of concerning himself with 'now' as opposed to 'later', although it can presumed as to what the future of hoenn has on tap for the paldea native, and to be more precise, his future with the league. such thoughts would only brew more uncertainty in the cauldron, in which case, he relies on the last words spoken to him prior to voyaging from paldea some years back...[break][break]

"keep calm and carry on."[break][break]

thanks, dad. another sip of wine with azure eyes wide shut, but a familiar voice prompts those eyes open to reveal his commanding officer all dolled up in a gown. she's a royal after all, or so he had learned upon first meeting. nonetheless, he offers a faint smile to greet her in kind before returning to his beverage. "hello captain, nice to see you out and about." she and him both, rather. "i just thought i'd lend my support, that is to say, if simply being here today is enough to do just that..."[break][break]

then again, what more can he do right now...!?[break][break]

he sets his glass down, now with mere droplets of red remaining, eyes then wander about to examine the atmosphere which was honestly a tad unsettling upon taking his first steps into the estate. the mention of flooding leaves a bitter taste in silverio's mouth; they had to traverse much of it in sea mauville, but now here? tragic...but relief efforts are to be conducted all the same.[break][break]

his head gently tilts as she speaks of her intended form of charity. if only he could offer the same in conjunction with hers...wishful thinking, most likely. "that's incredibly generous of you, but it seems like it's not just lilycove that's suffering from the aftermath of what went down here, but all of hoenn's east coast as a whole. i intend to assist with rebuilding in any way i can in the coming days...i just..." his words stray, which may raise an alarm in anyone's mind...[break][break]

there's only so much i can do...

miyako's attention snaps to the man who's approached her, her previous boredom replaced by a sharp, focused curiosity as she scans his features. familiarity nags at her, and after a moment of trying to place him, she recalls a memory from her mental catalogue; a mental snapshot of the aerodactyl keychain flashes across her mind's eye.[break][break]

so the dork (june's boyfriend, maybe? miyako's not too sure on that front) is actually some rich guy? figures. people like him always seem to have the strangest hobbies.[break][break]

"yeow!" slips from her lips, instead of 'you,' and inwardly, she cringes. [break][break]

guess boredom's done a number on her social skills too.[break][break]

clearing her throat, she leans casually against the wall, fumbling through her mental rolodex for a witty remark.[break][break]

"sure, why not?" not exactly the peak of comedy, but it's the best her fried brain can do right now. "and don't call me traffic gal! i have a job in the precinct that's, like, wayyyy more important than babysitting people who don't know red lights from green lights."[break][break]

her gaze flits to the offered bread. she shrugs and takes a slice, biting into it with a loud crunch. sure, she probably shouldn't accept food from guests, but... eh, fuck it. she's hungry, and god knows she's not going to last this entire party without proper sustenance.[break][break]

and then, someone else is there, talking about cheese and whatnot, and miyako immediately hones in on them. she leans in conspiratorially to , and lowers her voice to just a whisper. "watch out for this guy," she says with a finger jabbed in 's direction. "huuuuuuuge criminal. i coulda given him a hundred bucks in traffic fines! dunno why he's still on the streets."

Roy wasn't like the others. He was built differently, forged by choices that weighed heavily on his mind. While the politics of Hoenn were a subject of fascination to many, Roy barely gave them a thought. His focus was always on the end result, not the intricate steps to get there. The only reason he attended this banquet was because his cousin asked him to, and he intended to make the most of it.

Rather than mingling with the prominent figures in the room, Roy gravitated toward the food tables. He hovered over the spread, picking through the selections like a predator eyeing its prey. Although he was rarely nervous, he would use it as an excuse if anyone challenged his eating habits.

When he was sure no one was looking, Roy used his fingers to snatch a piece of meat. Tilting his head back, his jaw seemed to unhinge like a serpent as he swallowed it whole. Too absorbed in his feast, he didn’t even notice in the distance, complimenting the bread.

countless hands find hers. some scarred and weathered, some bruised and young. and some don't find her at all. some are kept away, hidden in pockets, a terse nod all that's offered her way as she tries to welcome her people as warmly as possible. 

but they are frightened. unsure. many gravitate to the relief station, take a package, and exit with little word. some stay, though she figures it's more about the hot meal than anything else. 

she wears a plain blue dress, stockings, and knee-high, worn boots. her arms are without decoration, save for silver scars from her hobbyist proximity to dragons. the morningstar crest lay against her throat, lyune's ball tucked neatly between her collarbones. her horns twist upward through carefully plaited braids.

the councilwoman had not dressed for a formal affair, and yet she looks better off than many of the bodies that have already walked through the doors. attempts to smother her exhaustion are visible in her too-tight smile, her darting, nervous gaze. 

when she's finally had enough, she escapes nearer to the interior, looking for familiar faces. 

and finds one in , then , both of whom are already entrenched in conversation with a few others freya doesn't recognize. the former, she sends a grateful smile, but she nears and , reaching around the galarian princess to snag a bacon-wrapped date. 

"was that talk of reconstruction i was overhearing?" she asks, nodding as she slips purposefully into the conversation. golds linger contemplatively on the ranger talking to elise. "we appreciate you coming and showing your support."

anything to make them feel valued. 

anything to fight this hopelessness.

behind him, she spies the familiar stature of her cousin, and the hardened lines of her face soften just a bit, colored with amusement instead as she watches him attack a piece of meat like an animal. despite the morningstars' teachings, perhaps her party politicking comes from her blood, inevitably doomed. 

"and you as well, ambassador calcifet. it means a lot to see you here."

"Don't - Mav, hey - wait - "[break][break]
The Bagon does not wait. As is her way, she rushes ahead, claws scraping against stone. Caleb sighs, shoving bruised knuckles into deep pockets, and makes his own way into the cavernous space. He's nobody special, not a guest of honor by any means, but there's little point in saving a city if you don't make something of the aftermath - so he's here, for her, for them: the people of Sootopolis.[break][break]
The legacy of the Draconids permeates this place; he can feel it looming over him, shadowing his every step. He doesn't share their blood, but he's been woven into their tapestry all the same - a peripheral thread bound up in language, and history, and ritual.[break][break]
Beneath the grand stalactites, he thinks he can hear the echoes of battle, the snarls and the steel and the snapping of jaws. It's a banquet, but it was once a training ground. It's exactly what he might expect - sharp in all the right ways, horned and hardened. It's the home of those who know a thing or two about survival.[break][break]
He thinks of , then, wondering if the Liberator might make an appearance here. Before the war, Sootopolis had represented only pain and suffering for Caleb - but it was thanks to Isaac that he had escaped that terrible fate. I owe Isaac a visit, he thinks, with a pang of guilt. It's been too long since he's seen his fellow defector.[break][break]
It's a different man's face that catches his attention now, though: the keen eyes of , devouring a slice of meat not unlike a feral dragon. Caleb sidles up to him, scanning the offerings. Mavli will, no doubt, do everything in her power to steal as much of this food as she can - the little rascal.[break][break]
"Ava'yorn," he greets Roy. "Guess the food's good?"[break][break]
's not far from them, addressing a small group of people Caleb does not recognize. He makes no moves to interrupt; she'll notice him eventually.

was here? They were letting anyone into the the banquet, it seemed. It took all of Howard's will to not look around for a kid's table to see where the young Hoyeon was supposed to sit. Oh well. In a way, it was unlucky that he didn't, otherwise Howard would've made a note of and abandoned Clover and Miyako to their own devices.

"Call me 'Dr. Slayte', Clover. If I'm gonna be here with all of the big names in the region, I'm at least flexing a doctorate or two! Maybe I can heckle a raise or two out of my bosses if he thinks I'm a commodity." Howard took another bite of bread, chewing thoughtfully. "I'm getting out of here in a bit. Sootopolis is a bit too dangerous, these days. Forget the hotel prices."

Besides, he had to link up with the upper echelons of Team Rocket. He wasn't going to let the other admins throw him under the bus. Until then, he had to deal with June's parole officer.

Hopefully she never found out that they had been yapping.

"I'm no criminal! My record is impeccable and my driving skills above average! You try driving with her in the passenger seat and getting through Slateport." Howard huffed and crossed his hands. "And you can charge me as much as you like. My parking tickets are funding this war effort, I'll tell you!"

He puffed up his chest in pride.

"If my parking tickets end up paying 's salary, then I say 'thank Arceus for government'!"

with every ending paves the way for a new beginning, and the league's new foothold in sootopolis — as dour as circumstances may be with a war looming over their heads — offers a unique opportunity for celebration. their two lighthouses, their ineffable beacons of light, arrive early — and in toe, a rare occasion to see them both in tandem together, considering how busy both of their schedules tend to be.

[break][break] "i'm going to go towards the buffet table!" he says, grinning. "i'll find you and freya later. let me know if you want a plate." assuming, of course, that his sister is going to gravitate towards the morningstar monarch, as she often tends to do these days.

[break][break] a brief glance at his phone sends a quick text to . 'i'm here, where are you?'

[break][break] because despite everything, despite all the hurdles and fights and everything that they always seem to face, he expects her to show up. for the league, of course, but also for him. for them. for everything that they fight for.

[break][break] even if, in the end, they may have different opinions on what that war will mean.

[break][break] chatty and optimistic, the head ranger slides through the crowds with ease, like a magikarp swimming through a river, pausing every now and then to greet those he knows — people like or .

[break][break] as he makes his way through, the head ranger's emerald eyes glimpse briefly at the familiar back of a morose chatting with . he catches the latter's eye, making a small wave (and secretly bracing himself in case turns), before smoothly shifting away. tofu, his pikachu, leaps off his back makes an immediate bee-line for the buffet table, still bitter about the way that had scorned him at the last league function. rather than follow right away, ollie finds himself distracted once more.

[break][break] just like that, his gaze settles on a familiar face in the crowd — . a warm rush of relief and affection blooms in his chest, igniting a spark of joy at the sight of her.

[break][break] "anna! you made it!"

[break][break] he beams widely, and without a moment's hesitation or regard for those around them, pulls her into a half-hug, draping his arm over her shoulders. perhaps a little too close for those who don't know him, but for those that do — it's just right.

[break][break] "i'm glad," he says, reaching over to grab a sweet-smelling croissant out of a nearby basket. for a brief moment, his thoughts are reminded of . however instead of soggy moist breading, he sinks his teeth into the pastry's flaky, golden exterior, the buttery layers flaking away to reveal a delightful crunch.

[break][break] "god, this is really good! you should try some!" he says, holding out his half-eaten pastry for her to taste.

Clover's eyebrows skyrocketed at 's comment. "Whoa," he echoed, looking to Howard with newfound awe. "I'm a pretty good driver if you need some tips! Mr. taught me." Good was being used loosely, but they could certainly drive under pressure after learning for the sole purpose of being prepared for war. [break][break]

"I wanna ticket people..." Clover said with clear envy at Miyako. Then, he remembered himself and extended a hand. "I overheard you're Miyako; I'm Clover!" [break][break]

Howard's insistence made Clover wonder if he'd had a generous amount to drink. "Okay, Dr. Mr. Howard," Clover conceded, "but I think traffic tickets will lead to your license being revoked..." There were better ways to contribute to the effort - though neither of them would actually try to benefit the League of course. "If that happens, I'll be your chauffer. Then we can go on adventures to hang out with Regieleki again." Clover turned to Miyako. "I saw it in one of those ultra space rifts myself! Have you ever been?"
