ELYSIUM OBSCURA


TEAM ROCKET MEMBER-LED MINI-RAID

[break]

[player]https://file.garden/ZZuaa3LxvGQ0wF8z/1-12.%20Battle!%20(Team%20Galactic).mp3[/player]



“we’re online. systems nominal, infinity energy levels good. let’s launch.”[break][break]

it is early november. you are waiting, seated in team rocket’s largest spacecraft – the same one that was nearly annihilated last year by the creature you are about to hunt in the vast abyss of space.[break][break]

a short countdown is initiated, and you are met with the quiet (or not) before the storm. at the bottom of the count comes a deep rumble that you feel in your chest. you’re at the point of no return, and then engines ignite. the ship roars thunder as it tears upward, through clouds and towards the glaring late morning sun.[break][break]

it’s an unpleasant first ten minutes. weeks of training could only prepare you so much for the heaviness of such an ascent. you are held against your seat. it’s difficult to breathe. there are several nerve wracking bangs as minior crash against the rocket’s nose on its unstoppable climb out of the atmosphere.[break][break]

finally, hell starts to let up. you begin to feel weightless, and loose items seem to float about the cabin. through the window, you see stars, and the earth curving below, and hoenn rapidly shrinking to something profoundly insignificant.[break][break]

”stay in your seats,” lulu warns, before speaking into a microphone: ”gravity!” the command echoes in another level, where psychic pokemon are at the ready. everyone and everything drops.[break][break]

you are then free to get up and step out of your bulky gear and release smaller pokemon if desired. in the lower bays are basic amenities, such as a small kitchen and lounging area, and bunks in another level. everything is accessible, except the cargo bay, marked in bold red letters as a reminder it is off limits. within lies the tera crystal, sealed in glass, concrete and steel.[break][break]

you know it’s there. you know it’s dangerous too, and perhaps the harrowing events of cyllora’s spaceship prison remain in your mind – but there’s no changing it now. you might as well get comfortable.


RULES & GUIDELINES

[break]

  • include a tldr.
  • no need to lock in pokemon. however, only 2 may be active at a time and moves should be in bold.
  • don’t worry too much about realism!
  • characters and pokemon likely have space gear, or you can get creative with pokemon moves (like using dewpider’s air bubbles to breathe underwater, etc.)
  • icly, this takes place over a week. some rounds will cover one if not multiple days. feel free to post multiple times or create spin-off threads.
[break]

what is this? this is a closed event with no sign-ups and limited participants, who have mostly been icly recruited by lulu or are coming along for plot reasons.



suggestions for this round: describe how your character feels during takeoff, and seeing space and earth behind them. explore and interact on the ship over the course of the first afternoon. you do not need to roll this round.

Anxiety doesn't begin to cover it. [break][break]

Nothing about this is her idea of a good time. The only salve against the weeping wound of her nervousness is the reality that Lulu is in charge. She's beyond competent, so Ameena only needs to trust that this rocket will do as it is intended to. Space is a frontier she'd rather observe from afar, especially as minior assault the ship, but her pale-knuckled grip on her seat eases by degrees as they enter weightlessness. [break][break]

When it becomes easier to move because of gravity, she hesitates to move from her seat. But the bulky suits are uncomfortable, and she will not feel any safer because of the buckle around her chest. Her inability to peripherally see out the window because of her eyepatch makes her feel worse. "I need a cuppa," she expresses with only a tinge of breathlessness from her racing heart. [break][break]

She rises from her seat and beelines for the lower bay kitchen.

Where most people here will likely be nervous, Tempest dozes idly in his seat. This is a trip that Tempest had taken with before, so it would be fine. Probably. He also hasn't been sleeping well for weeks now, making the sort of bone-deep exhaustion that keeps you from feeling things too deeply. So he snores softly in his seat until takeoff, only waking up to hold onto his ass-cheeks until the weightlessness hits. Then the Gravity, bringing with it whoever or whatever wasn't strapped down.[break][break]

bolts past him before Temp's clumsy fingers even have a chance to unbuckle himself. The helmet is taken off with a hiss from the suit, the dead air being recycled in the cabin feeling stale when it hits him. He hums as he passes by 's seat, giving his husband a pat and squeeze on the shoulder before he goes to join Ameena in the kitchen.[break][break]

"Look like 'yer 'bout to piss ya'self." Tempest says when he enters the kitchen, voice slurred and thick with sleep. While Ameena fished for tea, Tempest looked for the packets of coffee. The air-tight pouch of coffee grounds is found, along with the tea, which tosses to Ameena. "You used one of these before?" Tempest points to what looks like a computer out of a 1960s sci-fi film. It's all buttons and knobs and valves with a few thin slats to insert things. "I can show you."[break][break]

A sudden yawn crack's Tempest's jaw, allowing Ameena to peer down the man's throat if she so desires.

For the best of everyone involved, it was for the best that nobody mentioned the initial takeoff. It portrayed Howard in the worst light, and made his inclusion on this space mission dubious at best and a question of nepotism at worse.

"WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!"

Best to shelf that until the post-mission briefing. The worst thing that it did was make look bad by association in the face of , not that it particularly mattered. Howard's outbursts were expected by this point, and at least he brought two members of royalty with him.

Now that they were in space, though, all was well. The outburst of the launch would (hopefully) be forgotten.

"Hm." He stared out into the open void of space for several moments, before looking away. The void reminded him too much of the Devourer (), and that was something that the admin would prefer to avoid thinking about. As Ameena descends to get a drink, the admin shouts after her. "Get me something good!"

Something with alcohol, ideally, though it was likely that Lulu thought far enough ahead to ensure that the admin would remain sober.

Haunting.[break][break]

Anxiety grips in his chest as the world grows small beneath them, the entirety of his life reduced to a speck among an endless void. He doesn't like the feeling.[break][break]

"Drama queen," he accuses without heat, hypocritical of his own pounding heart.[break][break]

Staggering unsteadily toward where and are fussing over drinks, he takes a pouch of tea and frowns at it, turning it over in his hands as he tries to figure out exactly how it works.[break][break]

"I haven't," he tells Temp.[break][break]

He's envious of his husband's calm, though Cillian appears just as composed on the surface.

The last thing Makoto had expected, in joining Rocket, was that they'd one day go to space. Perhaps it was appropriate, given the name of the syndicate - perhaps the stars truly were where they were meant to be.

Once the spacecraft has settled into drifting through space, gravity no longer an issue, Makoto would linger at one of the windows - staring out into the beyond. Into the black, dotted with stars. Where might find himself focusing upon the void between those points of light... Makoto couldn't help but admire the glimmer in the dark, and the glow of the moon - distant, but less distant than before...

... It was beautiful. Awe-inspiring, in a way Makoto couldn't fully articulate.

At their side, Erebus peered out into the void as well. Though it could, in all technicalities, go outside... It lingered within the safety of the spacecraft for the time being, the safety of proximity to those it understood. Maybe in a bit. For now, it was content here.

Makoto glanced to Erebus. It glanced to them, sensing their attention upon it.

Does this feel familiar to you? Like home? It was a thought Makoto offered openly, knowing that even if they could not broadcast thought as a psychic-type could, Erebus would be able to read it from them.

... Maybe. The one thing that stood out to it the most, was how long it'd been since it'd last come out here. Into space.

Was something still a home, when you don't linger there? Was space still 'home' for it, when it'd been just about two whole years, since it'd last come out here? What made a home, home?

... The only thing Erebus would end up communicating to Makoto was how long it'd been.

Makoto's own thoughts drifted to something somewhat introspective, something that could become melancholic if they dug too deep. Did you miss it? Did they miss their own home, in Johto, they wondered? They could probably see it here, if they looked hard enough. They certainly missed the apartment they had in Sootopolis, for as small and simple as it was.

Erebus is quiet for a few long moments, as it considers the question... Before shaking its head. Not strongly. It decided. To be here again without the immediate pressure of a hurtling meteor was nice, it liked being here and gazing out into that wide open expanse... But this was not something it had felt a strong longing for. Else, it probably would have come out here of its own accord a long time ago.
TLDR: Makoto is awed by the sight of space in all of its glory. Deoxys is next to them at the window as the two mentally muse over space and home together. Open to interactions!!

Given that Fenelle ticks off multiple autistic nerd checkboxes with flying colours, it's no surprise that a childhood desire to go to space is one of them. Even if it, with most things from that time, has faded into a lacklustre grey that dee only occasionally thinks of, unless it's been coated over by recent memories. Exploring a spaceship with and finding a working battery is one of them, as well as experiencing space in the RKS simulation alongside and Erebos.

It's hard to tell, however, what exactly the cocktail of emotion consists of as they take off into the embrace of Mother Void. Frankly, for once, there maybe isn't anything going on in Fenelle's hyperactive brain as they are violently catapulted skywards, and then further beyond from the feeling of their mortal shell to weightlessness. Dee doesn't hear 's scream, remaining blissfully unaware of the commotions in general as der Rotom has safely attached itself to a piece of equipment for now, assisting in whatever way it might be able or simply keeping out of the way.

As gravity kicks in, Fenelle lets out a breath that dee hasn't noticed dee has held, shaking and trembling slightly as they catch up on der breath. But then ... truly, they're out here. Nodding at in silent acknowledgement of the successful launch, dee doesn't gravitate to the kitchen, but instead walks up towards .

Der Rotom sees Fenelle moving with slightly shaky legs, too, and detaches into a tablet that dee picks up, booting up the text display program. "Care if I join you?" dee asks the other with a faint smile, before also nodding towards Erebos with a curious glance - wondering, too, what it might think of space. "It's quite the sight ..." dee remarks, looking out through the window towards open space.

A sea of black, only occasionally disrupted by shimmering light. "In our measurement, it takes years for that light to get to where we are now. And if we follow it ... I wonder what there might be." But that's not the mission right now - they're on a hunt, with a bigger objective written above: Survive. There's much that could kill them here, but looking at the crew ... dee strengthens der resolve to do well.

"How do you feel?" dee then asks, the belatedness perhaps reminiscent of a script that dee has just remembered.

tl;dr
- CHILDHOOD DREAMS OF THE NERD COME TRUE feels a mix of excitement and anxiety
- nods at lulu before making der way towards makoto and erebos with a rotom tablet to translate and makes some chitchat

'Get me something good.' Howard could use some tea, then. Something non-caffeinated to soothe him. [break][break]

Of all of the people to acknowledge her clear nerves, Temp's probably the best choice. She doesn't laugh at herself, but it's a close thing. "I have little recourse if things go south. This is a totally different beast than any fight in Hoenn." She had few pokemon that could get her out of the trouble they were heading into. [break][break]

As Cillian joins them, she finds comfort in them both being unfamiliar. She gestures to the odd machine. "Please, teach us." She examines the pouch in her hand for another moment, amusement pulling on her lips. "Something about Galarians being taught to make tea..."[break][break]

More seriously, she considers how Temp is more familiar with this endeavor than her in a few ways. "You have done this before. Any tips?" Space travel, moon travel, Cresselia. He had her beat in all aspects but that of dreams themselves.

She has been here before.[break][break]
A tingling, gnawing, insidious deja-vu threatens to overwhelm her as their rocket blasts off. How long has it been since Meteno? Ironic that she should find herself, once more, following into the vast darkness of space.[break][break]
Despite everything - their quarrels, their differences, the tension that simmers between them - Nomi trusts Lulu with her life. At the end of the day, they are both seasoned scientists. Petty squabbles regarding the ultimately inconsequential continued existence of a member of Hoenn's Elite Four will not stop either of them from throwing themselves wholeheartedly into the thrill of discovery.[break][break]
All things considered, Nomi is surprised when loses his composure. Hadn't he endured far worse than this?[break][break]
Kallistatus pops into existence by Howard's shoulder, staring at him with an unblinking scrutiny that betrayed a measure of concern. Nomi pads towards him, very obviously comfortable with the sensation of feeling lighter thanks to the fluctuations in gravitational pull within their craft. It's nice, really, to be here without the apocalyptic threat of a world-ending meteor hanging over all of their heads. Suffice to say, she is excited.[break][break]
"Beautiful, isn't it?" She remarks, glancing out the window. The twinkling stars - or perhaps they are galaxies - remind her of the Unown Dimension. A faint, fond smile touches her lips.

- Thinks its odd that seems disturbed by their journey, given the crazy shit he's already been through recently[break]
- Walks over to him and merrily remarks on the beauty of space ^_^

Things are simpler back on the ground. Human beings were not designed to leave their green and blue cradle to ascend beyond the stars. They did so because it was hard, and because it was the human condition to prove their capability to triumph over the universe's greatest mysteries.

They were never meant to be here. That terrified him. He could deal with a falling mountain or being killed on the battlefield, but the void weaponized physics to ensure that every inch towards the moon offered a new challenge. Every iota of breath was calculated. Every square inch of material was painstakingly calculated to ensure that they could be here.

That, he thought, was beautiful. was a genius, even if her handwriting was terrible. As was , thus he turned to her.

"Kal." He shortens the Unown's name as a sign of affection. The name was chosen deliberately, and it felt disrespectful to shorten the decision, yet the admin did so anyway. "You look better, Nomi."

He paused, hand twitching towards his cigarette box and lighter. He needed a smoke, yet he suspected that lighting up in a space shuttle was akin to tapdancing on landmines.

"I prefer Draconid etchings of the night sky, but it's not a bad sight." He frowned, thoughtful. "I once told Lulu that exploring other universes is a redundancy when ours is such an unknown. You could spend a thousand lifetimes, and still not know everything about the one we call home."

He smirked despite the fear of infinity.

"Is it egotistical if I feel validated by my belief, looking out at it all?"

space.[break][break]

for some, the final frontier.[break][break]

for you? one of many.[break][break]

compared to the others, this one was simple to reach, though admittedly, little of that was your doing. no, it was who bore the brunt of that burden, designing and building and organising and the like. if it weren't for her inviting you to participate in this little lunar mission, then you'd be back on the earth with your feet firmly on the dirt.[break][break]

but, you are here, aren't you? you're here, with her, in space. she invited you, you specifically, to travel with her through the cold and empty expanse for days and days and days. which means she's into you, right?[break][break]

okay, sure, she invited other people too, and yeah, she still seems to throw up in her mouth when you broach the subject, and alright, maybe everyone you know (including your own pokemon** (*including your fucking quagsire, who has an iq equivelant to the temperature of water) (**excluding meltan, bless him)) is telling you that you're wildly incorrect. but does that matter? no. because love is a force of nature greater than any legendary, maybe even greater than the mighty winged king. and love? love wins.[break][break]

...wait, where is the winged king...?[break][break]

...[break][break]

...it was as though was tempting the very concept of fate itself when he disparaged the many universes beyond. not a moment later, a scarlet blur charged between him and , and crashed straight into the window. when it failed to break, and the limited-form lizard was instead bounced backward, it resorted to flailing about ineffectively like an anxious houndour stuck in a too-small cage.[break][break]

wasn't the only one who had issues with space travel, it seemed.[break][break]

This was Oscar's second trip into space, which made the anticipation of the loss slightly more palatable. That did not make the launch itself any easier, the G-forces were just as horrible as the first time. Oscar had no idea how was able to scream, and further more he envied it. Oscar's own lips were pushed back too far to form anything resembling a syllable. Poor bastard could not even laugh if he wanted to.

Yet the trial did not last forever. The ship leveled out, and after the gravity was engaged Oscar would casually pull himself out of his seat. He felt as though he needed to unload all of his organs at once, but he would put every ounce of his remaining energy into trying to hide his discomfort.

As his fellow travelers mingled, Oscar was more focused on getting some work done during these early hours of the journey. The adventure would become a lot more enjoyable once he had all of his data sorted.

Oscar approached their host, . "Fearless leader, do we have designated work spaces or should I just park in a corner."

Tl;dr
--Oscar is here, trying not to upchuck.
--Oscar wants to get his data readings done so he can enjoy his space vacation mission.

takeoff was one of the most taxing parts of the journey, evident by both 's screaming and the silence that followed in the cabin during their ascent. she remained in her seat for a while after, idly watching the stars, grateful for the success of phase one. eventually, autopilot was engaged, and she went to join the rest.[break][break]

her eyes lingered on and , the crew’s youngest. while not an especially kind or warm individual, the head scientist was known to take chances on younger minds, nurturing talent with opportunity. she hoped she was not leading them to an early demise.[break][break]

’s koraidon startled her out of her thoughts by banging into the window, and her heart skipped a beat, but there was no damage done. she watched it flail, until ’s voice drew her attention away.[break][break]

fearless leader feels strange still coming from you, oscar,” she admitted with a a small smile. he’d been head scientist, a beast, and her superior in the beginning – specifically, the one who’d taken a chance on her. ”bit more crowded this time of course, but you’re welcome to the lab below.” it was a small area, but clean and ready for experiments.[break][break]

when they’d all settled in, lulu spent the rest of the morning and the afternoon drifting through the stars in her mind, things like prayers whispered around smooth facets of crystal. her poipole, a familiar face in the labs, was more social as it inspected the going-ons about the cabin. [break][break]

tldr:
  • sits in captain's seat for a while before joining the rest
  • watches the kiddos (fenelle and makoto) from afar, hoping they won't die on her watch
  • alarmed at koraidon bashing against the window
  • talks to oscar
  • penrose is out wandering the cabin

There was something almost paradoxically comforting about Admin losing his mind during takeoff. In the wake of Fox’s deafening anxiety, there was no room for Alba to jump at all the banging their ship makes as it leaves the world behind. The pressure of gravity comes for them, threatening to fold him in on himself, and then finally fades away.[break][break]

Weightlessness does not last long enough. There is brief freedom, where he feels himself unhinge from everything (except for the seatbelt tying him down), and then gravity switches on again, and it’s like he’s back on terra firma.[break][break]

He had been in space once before, as part of Cyllora and the Never-Rot’s mad plan to save Megalopolis, but back then the Penitentiary had robbed him of the power to appreciate it in full. So of course, the first place he goes is the window, to drink it all in.[break][break]

“With how far away those stars are, we’re not really that much closer to them…” Alba says as he approaches the window and gather around. He says that, but even still it feels as if he could reach through that window and pluck them from the empty canvas.[break][break]

“The view is spectacular, though. Makes me wish I could be up here all the time.”

TEAM ROCKET MEMBER-LED MINI-RAID





several linger in the kitchen and shows and how to make tea in space. others watch out windows, like , , and with their deoxys, erebus. via their telepathic connection, erebus answers makoto’s questions about its feelings for outer space.[break][break]

meanwhile, ’s winged king cuts in between and to slam violently into a window, displeased that howard does not seem to see the value in inter-universal exploration. luckily, no damage is done.[break][break]

the rest of the morning and afternoon pass by. night falls, and everyone gathers back in the communal bay, where lulu stands near a mini bar pulled out from a hidden panel. ”it’s a long trip, but it should be smooth sailing for a while,” she says with a smirk. ”just be sure to keep your wits about you.”[break][break]

playing cards lie stacked on a coffee table near a couch. drinks flow, and games soon commence, a welcome respite from the anxiety of space travel. penrose, lulu’s poipole, hovers behind shoulders, peeking at cards through safety goggles pilfered from the lab.[break][break]

the hours pass, and the evening grows long. as fun gives in to weariness, you briefly glimpse something or someone walking by or peering through the window – a shard of a waking dream.[break][break]

you blink, and it’s gone again.[break][break]



MINI-GAME: [break]SPACE POKER


HOW TO PLAY

[break]
1. roll five times. these five rolls represent your character’s poker hand.[break][break]
2. each roll will fall into the ranges listed below. note these ranges and compare them to the hand combinations also listed.[break][break]
3. if you don’t like your hand, you may edit your post and bluff. more info on this below.[break][break]

RANGES:

[break]
  • RANGE 1: 1–20
  • RANGE 2: 21–40
  • RANGE 3: 41–60
  • RANGE 4: 61–80
  • RANGE 5: 81–100
[break]

COMBINATIONS:

[break]
  • ROYAL FLUSH: all five rolls are within the same range.
  • FOUR OF A KIND: four rolls are within the same range.
  • FULL HOUSE: three rolls are within the same range, and two rolls are within a different range (for example: three rolls between 61 and 80, two rolls between 21 and 40).
  • STRAIGHT: there is one roll from each of all the five ranges. (for example: 15, 31, 55, 72, 96 – they do not need to be rolled in consecutive order).
  • THREE OF A KIND: three rolls are within the same range.
  • TWO PAIR: two rolls are within one range, and two rolls are within a different range.
  • ONE PAIR: two rolls are within the same range.
  • HIGH ROLL: no combinations. highest roll wins in case of tie.
[break]

(royal flush in the strongest hand, followed by four of a kind, then full house, etc.)[break][break]

BLUFFING: if your hand is weaker than a royal flush, you may edit and roll one more time to “bluff”. if this roll is 96-100, compare the highest of your first five rolls to the highest roll of the winning player. unless they have a royal flush, the highest single roll between the two hands wins.[break][break]

ROYAL FLUSH: in the case of a royal flush, a player cannot be beat via bluffing, and wins the game if no one else has achieved a royal flush.[break][break]

TIEBREAKER: in the case that the two best hands have the same combination, the player with the highest single roll wins.


ROUND TWO GUIDELINES

[break]
  • include a tldr and note your combination.
  • no salacs.
  • you can only bluff once.
  • you may try for a better hand twice (meaning you may roll in three posts max) however, you are stuck with the new hand and the previous one no longer counts.
  • you may skip the game icly but still play along oocly.
  • the winner will win a stowaway prize. those with the three worst hands will stay awake while the rest of the crew sleeps next round.
  • you may post as many times as you like without rolling.
  • icly, characters may play many more rounds or other games, and split up. betting is done for fun unless otherwise decided between characters, in which case go wild.
  • please reference overall thread guidelines in the first post as needed.
[break]

what is this? this is a closed event with no sign-ups and limited participants, who have mostly been icly recruited by lulu or are coming along for plot reasons.



suggestions for this round: transition into the evening, where characters gather to drink and play a card game. whether they choose to partake or not, have them notice a brief glimpse of a ‘waking dream’ before it disappears again.
