[attr="class","angelomain"]“Then while we use the tunnels to invade Sootopolis from the inside, we station League forces around the island perimeter. That way if any of 'em tries to escape or backup tries to get in through the water routes, we can cut them off.” He responds to 's concern.

Back and forth the provided pen weaves between his fingertips, much like how the conversation swings endlessly back and forth. 

Between the repetitive beats of the background squabbles, Angelo thinks to the calamity that lingers like a dark spot in the horizon. Its shape yet unknown to him.

Could the catalyst be in the rifts? Maybe its beginning was being orchestrated by the DRK triad as they bicker around this very table?

Or there may be a slither of possibility yet, that the incoming storm festers within Sootopolis’s bone white cliffs, biding its time…

losing control of herself is given but a side-eye when returns to proposing her peace talk agenda further.

Negotiations with Team Rocket is a waste of time,” Angelo cuts to the chase, smooth and direct. “Doesn't matter what you offer them, any assets you end up handing over will only be used against us in the future, when they decide they’ve gotten their fill of an alliance.

If they get rid of Team Rocket, then they get rid of not only a thorn in his side but also a potential source of the calamity. Or, at the very least, a group of opportunists who’d only get in the way of finding it.

One less stone to turn in a quarry of hidden, possible threats.

Better to put that time into building a sound strategy for Sootopolis and keep our resources to ourselves. We'll need all we can get to look into the list of other problems we’ve got going on.

flush out the rats and bonk them on the head. disagrees with negotiations with rocket. thinks its a waste of time/impractical use of resources.

[attr="class","angelomain"]Situating itself between Angelo and Eris, the little shaymin begins to release wisps of natural perfume from bright pink flowers. An aromatherapy drifting in the air to calm the senses of the party.

That doesn’t stop Sprout from twitching its button nose in the ralts direction however, curious by its wiggly behaviour.

Who said I was worried about you, squirt?” Comes the quick-tongued retaliation, a mischievous eyebrow quirked in Eris’s direction. “Maybe I just want to avoid the hassle of gettin’ grilled by your guardians, if you land yourself in trouble on my watch.

He probably didn't worry enough. If he'd been a responsible adult, Angelo would have escorted her back home long ago.

But hey, why not let her have an adventure or two, eh?

Leaving his backpack on the cavern floor, Angelo collects his now-trusty pickaxe and begins to get to work. Standing close to Sprout, he finds the hallucinations of enclosing walls and shifting sand at his feet aren’t quite as clear as they may have been.

Oh yeah?” Bending down, Angelo scoops up a chunk of rock that he’d chipped away from the main clump. He rubs dirt off the surface on his jacket sleeve. “Where do you give the Halla Tours?

[attr="class","angelomain"]Clouds, wispy and dreamlike, float by the windows as they eventually reach the perfect height.

Angelo spins the trim wheel to maintain their altitude without need of his constant attention. To keep them drifting across Hoenn’s airspace where they could appreciate the view of sea and sky both.

He’d never get enough of it. This blue expanse of endless possibilities, reachable only if he desired it.

His gaze maintains focus on the beyond, even as Dahlia’s voice chimes in.

I’ve heard a thing or two about it from her, yeah.” Angelo’s voice is tinny through the headset, smooth edge of his voice just the slightest distorted with static.

That a deal was up in the air between them was fine. After all, this wasn’t a one-sided meeting.

You’re going to make me blush, commissioner.” With a slight tilt of the wheel, the aircraft begins to bank in a gentle slope to the right. Curving away from Lilycove. “What were you envisioning if I did join you, then? D'you have anything in mind for how my talents could help?

Her words, not his.

SPACE-TIME DISTORTION #15
POSTED ON Aug 28, 2023 18:45:29 GMT
angelo vestri Avatar
[attr="class","angelo"]
[attr="class","angelotag"]
[attr="class","angelomain"]Could these be a cog within the calamity?

There are so many things it could be. So many things could be his undoing.

Angelo stands on the edge of the space-time distortion. Wind teasing his hair and tugging at the edges of his clothes, beckoning him into its dark, lightning illuminated storm.

He’d dived into them before with barely a breath of hesitation. Hungry for their secrets, an undocumented phenomenon rich for exploration. Now they could play a part in what Latios had warned him of, a danger that had been the motivation for the legendary to grant him a most precious gift.

When he gives himself into the alluring tug of the distortion, its not to seek its mysteries so much as it is to master them.

Beneath the howling of the storm, Hisuian pokémon emerge bloodthirsty. With his sneasel he spends his time honing his abilities and sharpening his eye. Avoiding attacks with swift feet, skulking invisible through the warped plane and directing sneasel’s metal claws with a huntsman’s observance.

When he leaves the space-time distortion weary but satisfied from the results of the training, Angelo is the possession of a newly evolved weavile and a glittering, emerald shard.

[attr="class","angelomain"]It’s as the witching hour strikes, that he awakens.

Pulled out of his slumber by a sharp tug deep within his chest, Angelo finds himself aware, and fast.

Within the darkness, the peacefulness of gentle snores and waves licking at the hull are drowned out by the pang of a connection jerked taut. When the alarmed pilot mentally reaches out to inspect it, he receives messages of panic and desperation and fear.

Someone he knew was in pain. Strong enough to overpower his still amateur control over the web of connections he held.

But who? And what had happened?

Peeling himself free from a tangle of sheets and limbs, Angelo feels around to locate his clothes within the messy piles on the bedroom floor. Once dressed, he spares a look of contemplation over his shoulder at the dozing shape of , before he opts to silently slip out the door.

Latios and Latias meet him as he steps onto the Sotally Tober deck, then after sliding onto the formers back they take off into the cool night air. Following the fishing line of curiosity and concern reeling him in.

By the time the signature white cliffs of Sootopolis have come into view, Angelo and the Eon duo are cloaked. Invisible to the world. They pierce through the bubble of familiar pressure that surrounds the island city like a needle, stealing themselves without hesitation into the occupied territory.

Within the depths of Rocket’s lair he finds who he’s looking for. . A familiar face he hadn’t seen in a while, and the end of the tether.

With him is another man, unknown to him however recognition flickers through Latias when she sees the blonde. Her surprise one of pleasantry that Angelo connects to days spent with . He could trust him.

Still, as he encourages his small team down towards the Sootopolis street to sate his curiosity, they remain invisible.

Latios descends low enough for Angelo to slide off his back in the cover of shadow between two homes, his footsteps meeting the stone with a silent, wind-blessed step.

Caleb. Blondie. Over here.

His voice comes quietly from behind and , his figure tangible in the shade of a signature blue-roofed building by the time they turn. One callused palm raises in a show of peace, given how he'd read the ranger’s previous mental state.

You two are a long way from the mainland,” stepping forward, his eyes glance between the pair. Filling in the gaps of the story from emotions he had felt and the look of two dishevelled, injured men, out of place in this city. “Need a hand getting out of here?

latios and latias are currently invisible.

CANON ACTIVITY CHECK VI
POSTED ON Aug 27, 2023 8:04:24 GMT
angelo vestri Avatar
[nospaces]
[attr="class","milkyac"]

NON-CANON AVATAR[break]AC TEMPLATE


AUGUST 2023 NON-CANON AVATAR ACTIVITY CHECK

[break]

[attr="class","ynospace"]


4 ic posts for avatar character:


[attr="class","ynospace"]


summarize how you've utilized[break]the legendary/avatarship for collaborative narrative:


  • 1. LATIOS[break][break]


    i. beginnings [break]
    Since the last canon activity check which began in conjunction to receiving his avatar status, I’ve kicked off exploring the first steps in this new part of Angelo’s story.[break][break]

    Receiving avatarship has also given Angelo the push to officially join the League proper after two and a half years of standing on neutral/League-leaning ground. His reason for joining the Aqua Initiative is being, and will continue to be, explored in his meeting with (Flight).[break][break]

    He also explored some of his abilities and began practical training alongside , in Shadow Sneak.[break][break]

    ii. connections[break]
    Not all abilities are easy to master. For Angelo, its the mental connection he shares with other characters on the site, that can sometimes activate beyond his control. Examples of this have been in Safe Harbour with , who’s pain could be acutely felt due to their close bond despite being separate in the Deep Sea and with in Cross-eyed Strangers, whom he’d grown close to in Goodbye Galar, causing him to seek her out in the Tera Caverns. [break][break]

    Goodbye Galar has given some interesting dynamics to play with here. I’ve taken the narrative decision for the strength of these relationships he’d forged over the twenty years to remain in these connections, even when memory becomes unreliable. Acquaintances from before have become close, like in the case of , and while he finds himself feeling strangely drawn to strangers and , two Rocket characters. I’m excited to explore how the opposing allegiances of the latter two may lead to inner conflict and complicate things for Angelo, now these people he associates as ‘family’ are classed as ‘enemies’ in the faction war. [break][break]

    Recently, the sudden appearance of intense emotions has guided Angelo to Sootopolis where he finds and in the middle of escaping imprisonment at the hands of Team Rocket (Immortal Hate).

    [break][break]

    iii. endings[break]
    Latios’s gift of avatarship came attached with the warning of an approaching, unknown calamity and a wish to protect the pilot so Angelo survives it - for the Eon pokemon fears that he will not. [break][break]

    Due to their close psychic bond, not only is Angelo aware that something is coming but also that Latios is afraid for him. His resolve to make sure he protects the life that he has built for himself and his loved ones from this unseen threat starts back at the beginning, at postdormitum’s finale. [break][break]

    Not knowing where the source lies has started to influence his decisions. For example in An Aqua Assembly, he votes in favour of installing volatile artificial, dynamax power spots around Hoenn and supports the attack on Sootopolis despite the potential for collateral damage. If he doesn’t know where the calamity begins, he’ll just have to tick off the list of potential catalysts one by one. [break][break]

    He’s also decided to risk revealing his permanently dynamaxed roggenrola to head professor , with the hopes of further advancing dynamax, despite an earlier desire to keep Chip secret so as not to potentially lose a valuable asset.[break][break]

    Peeks of this slowly building pressure has begun to infect his daily life as seen in beach house with and a recent moment in the space time distortion. He is also pushing to further collect the Victini soul wisps in the hopes it will grant him victory in the calamity, as seen here with and briefly mentioned here with . [break][break]

    Threats are starting to lurk within every shadow, time ticking down, and soon, it may begin to overwhelm him. [break][break]

    (hoping to give a little more introspection with angelo/latios next activity check but their soulbroship is still going strong after the last few years spent together prior to avatarship.)

[attr="class","angelomain"]Looking rather smug at the poipole’s predicament, Sprout shakes its grassy pelt. Its shape changing like a blooming flower beneath the sunshine as it shifts, legs elongating and face turning mischievous.

With his shaymin taking to the air, it fees up space in Angelo’s pack for him to shove his laboured haul to the brim.

Don’t need to tell me twice,” he responds dryly as Freya encourages them to take their leave.

With a grunt, he hefts his backpack over his shoulder, its weight pressing down onto broad shoulders and the sharp edges of his scavenged goods poking him in the back. They hastily depart before they pay a greater price for their spoils.

Only the memory of the devouring wave doesn’t stay within the radioactive chamber. Instead it follows Angelo all the way back up to the cave entrance, and beyond…

[attr="class","wownewtag"]
[attr="class","wownewmain"]And suddenly he’s looking in the mirror, seeing the reflection of himself some few years ago. Back when he’d resigned himself to living a life he didn’t want, enjoying Hoenn in the time he thought he had left.

Back when he’d stowed away his dreams out of sight, pushing them aside them with the idea that his family back in Alto Mare needed his money and constant presence, more than simply being himself - their brother.

Wanting something doesn’t mean it’s possible, Caleb claims.

But he’d gone and done it, hadn’t he? Had to fight tooth and nail to get what he had now, from the nothing Angelo had started with but he’d built his kingdom off his own sweat and sacrifice. Screw if he deserved it or not.

Despite the heat that crushed down on his shoulders, Angelo tucks his hands into his pockets to squeeze the Soul Dew protectively. Flame haunting inside scalding on his sweaty fingertips. Let it burn. He could handle it.

Well, you won't get it if you never try. Especially not if you have to wait around, twiddling your thumbs for arceus to shine a seal of approval out of its ass first.

Angelo doesn’t look away from Caleb, even when it appears shame makes the other man shrink. Reminds him of how he’d found him down in the Ultra Deep Sea, plagued by the past. Still was, by the looks of it.

It's okay to live for yourself sometimes, Caleb.

He turns his attention towards the opening into the desert depths then, watching as Sprout’s crimson scarf disappears from view into the darkness as it floats down. With resolve, one boot hits the first step.

Anyway, are you coming?” When he turns back to Caleb, that chill expression had been evaporated by the desert humidity as he tugs down his scarf. Replaced instead by that rebellious grin the ranger had displayed earlier, as he shrugs with intentional nonchalance. “You’re gonna have to if you want whatever’s hidin’ down there. I’m not sharing.

Its nothing short of a dare. A dare to take - advance.

EXTRACTION: ANGELO & DOUG

[attr="class","angelomain"]An eyebrow is arched, wholly disbelieving of Doug’s tall tale. “I’ll believe that when I see it. You sure she didn’t water down your drinks?

And how big was the magikarp he caught that day? As big as his leg?

There’s little time to call bullshit further on Doug and defend his wife’s (questionable) honour, not when the realm protests at their presence. 

Time to get out of here before they look like they’d been put through the ol’ Skyler Dross Saturday night special.

Hop in!

Lunging forward after Doug, the pilot throws his backpack with all the shards he had time to gather at him while Chester brings the pickaxe into the cart.

Standing on the edge of their makeshift vehicle, holding tightly onto the edges, Angelo has time to grin one last time at his friend. “And you better hold onto somethin’.

With a wave of his hand, a breeze begins to howl around the wheels. Suddenly the little cart is launched forward in a violently turbulent clatter, Angelo summoning a tailwind to send them accelerating all the way towards the Deep Sea entrance in no time at all.

[attr="class","itemcoltext"]The mental anguish rises to unbearable levels. As the Eternatus core whirs, the fleshy walls begin to swarm with pink eye-like shapes. Still, through these translucent barriers, you catch a glimpse of a nearby planet. One that looks suspiciously like the one you all live in—except that a large portion of it seems covered in land.[break][break]

You must escape with your gathered material. Your ally or allies may be incapacitated by the paranoia settling in their psyches, or perhaps, the eldritch mutations beginning to metamorphose their body or bodies.[break][break]

Depending on how much your characters have mined, you may need to lessen your extracted load to ensure successful escape from this wretched place. After all, the horrors that reside here may make chase.

[attr="class","angelomain"]Stilling in his swings Angelo barks out a laugh, scratchy from the thirst of labour and mental strain of the chamber pollution.

Doug’s disgusted expression definitely sparks joy.

You got off lightly, I thought I’d spare your innocent little ears.

They return back to their toil, Angelo scooping up chunks of treasure he’d chipped away from the bulk of the rocks to deposit in his pocket. Not everything would find its way to the employer.

Ah, see, I just know that as the ol’ Skyler Dross Saturday night special.” Perks of avatars who could heal their livers, he supposed.

Its not long until they receive a visitor. Close enough to being on time, lumbers in a bulky creature that's bursting at the seams. Angelo grimaces. Unfortunately his sharp eyes had clocked onto the coins not being of any monetary value, so it had to go.

Chester. Give ‘em a hand.

From the depths of his shadow, Chester detaches itself and skirts the gloom of the cavern. Picking its way through the stretching darkness until it finds itself beneath the form of newly dubbed, Big Pharma.

Leaping out from beneath it, the little marshadow thrusts a fist into the monstrosity. Spectral thief’s power sends the coins exploding through the cave like an arcade game fighter’s defeat.

Winner!

Extraction: Angelo // Eris
POSTED ON Aug 26, 2023 16:17:43 GMT

[attr="class","angelomain"]Angelo has found himself in a bit of a dilemma.

Before the day that had seen him in front of the Ancient Tomb, he certainly would have insisted that Eris was by no means to take on the burden of the radiation herself. Not even in a fingertip worth.

She’d always been that little kid who’d always gotten herself into places she really ought not to, playing make-believe in a war torn region in which she really had no business being in.

But now, after that day, where memories of Circhester linger in his dreams like viewing a picture through a veil of snow, Angelo feels she’s not quite as incompetent and fragile as her age suggests.

Between him and , webbed psychically like string, he finds a connection had been stitched. Somehow. Somewhen. 

Thanks for the warning, kiddo. You're starting to sound like a Deep Sea tour guide.” He chuckles, humouring Eris as they descend into the Deep Sea and she gives him an impromptu lesson.

It’s certainly hard to shake off that pre-established thought process.

Angelo’s eyes turn into a squint at her suggestion, as if trying to figure out which younger, grinning sibling was guilty of stealing the last cookie from the jar.

He thinks he could trust her to handle it. Guess he’d see…

Just stay close to me an’ Sprout. Its aromatherapy helps with your head.” He compromises, lifting said little hedgehog out of his backpack. “And let me know if it gets too much. We already know you’re tough, alright?

He couldn't take it all, Angelo guessed. Eris wouldn't be able to swing a pickaxe alone and get a decent haul with her weedle arms.
