he crosses his arms. he tries to remember each individual pokemon that was involved with the revival of the blue mulch and differentiated them in his head. he comes up with blanks.

"not that i know of," he answers.

the people didn't have much difference in personality last time he checked. there's his gabite, who was still as quiet as he was since before he died. the guzzlord, who was basically just a tentacle beforehand. his head comes up with the last one.

"oh, my braviary." it was an impromptu revival with the help of , but it's one that came from blue mulch nonetheless. "you know how shadow pokemon got more aggressive after their change? this one lost all of that, but it's still the same minus that."

he recalls a similar thing with 's lugia. the coincidence becomes obvious after that realization.

"yup! hatched it right in front of my eyes!"

the origins of his pokemon was similar to a lot of others, but they don't really have any outward differences with normal pokemon, so he's not surprised if others didn't explore the possibility of the newly found virus.

upon the mention of 's research, he pipes up.

"this wasn't mentioned anywhere before, i think." his involvement on primal energy research was limited, but he definitely would have heard of it if it was something big.

it wasn't a virus, but something similar definitely came up on their research.

"ooh, we definitely found somethin' similar before though! not primal energy, but, like, more connected to the tree of life stuff. have you heard of the zombie pokemon?"

he's not sure if it's symbiotic in nature, but zombies in movies often come from a virus, and this was a virus itself. it checks out if they got in the heads of sci-fi movie enthusiasts.

he lets his pokemon out just as mew comes out. there's always something about the playful personality and cute appearance that always makes priam smile when he sees it.

his samurott nudges his trainer back to reality when he notices him staring at the mew with his mouth agape, however. its presence alone was supernatural, so he can't be faulted to look at it with awe every time.

for a moment, he ignores his fascination with the mew and introduces his pokemon to eva. "this is sammy. he's a samurott. i forgot where i got him from, but he's been with me for the longest time." probably somewhere in the wilds of hoenn, but he's not sure where exactly. "there's no change in anything during the mutation, besides maybe his appearance? i'm not really sure since i didn't really care much until now."

a hand pats the samurott on the back of its head, too rough to be a pet but too soft to be anything more aggressive.

"ya can inspect him if ya want! he ain't gonna bite!"

OC-TOBER


Character: Priam Conrad



Day 1- Intro
he works for the league's science team during the day, and rocket's science team during the night. sometimes, he helps with investigation of the recent supernatural events on hoenn for both sides. sometimes, he goes to the front and proves he's not all talk. priam is a grunt who dabbles on every field his uneducated self can help on.

he's friendly. he's supportive. he's optimistic. he's tenacious. stubborn. loud. brash. aggressive. priam fits as many descriptions of youthful naivete that could cram in a person. a shame that he lives in the present and has never considered his future.

Day 2: Starter
an eevee has always accompanied him as a child. given by his father to watch over him, it has become priam's safety net on most things. while interaction between the two is sparse, given the contrasting cold nature of the pokemon and priam's warmth, an unbreakable trust was there, becoming a catalyst to its evolution.

the psychic-type has been with him through thick and thin. it would be an understatement to say that the two do not share the same life experiences. his loyalty runs deep, even if he doesn't show it.

Day 3: Childhood
he was a normal child, with the entire vermillion city as his playground. he made friends and connections with the entire neighborhood despite his young age, becoming a presence through his nature alone. it was why his sudden disappearance foreshadowed what was to follow with the rest of kanto.

taken in for blackmail, his father has opted to not risk the rest of the family and decided to leave priam's fate with rocket. the kid shouldered an unrealistic debt upon confirmation that the ransom won't be paid. it was then that the poor boy has adjusted to the criminal organization out of survival, becoming their errand boy of sorts.

but hey, at least he's not dead.

Day 4: Best Friend
. he's pretty sure both parties aren't aware of how they got along so well since it just happened. there was no deep reasoning, nor an event that sparked it. they just... meshed well together.

out of everyone he has interacted with, oscar was the only one who would follow through any of his plans, and vice versa. most of the time, these plans weren't really good, but the real fun was the friends they made along the way.

Day 5: Talent
as a child, he had no other means of paying the debt more than a few simple jobs that didn't actually make a dent to the interest of his overwhelming tab. it was when he resolved to petty crime just to make a living to get something in his mouth.

his hands were always deft enough to pickpocket and pick locks, trained by circumstances. the rise of electronic locks and digital banking has made these talents null, but suffice to say, he hasn't lost his touch yet.

Day 6: Favorite Pokemon
his gabite earns the title of his favorite pokemon. it was one of the first pokemon he has ever gotten after rocket has taken him in, being given out by one of his father's previous colleagues to help protect him. while priam doesn't know their history, it helps skew his appreciation for the pokemon as the first good thing to happen to him since then.

he's sentimental about him, going out of his way to find ways to get him back to life after an incident that killed it before. priam has been overprotective of the gabite since then.

Day 7: Free Space!
conrad isn't actually his last name, but the second part of his given name. he has opted to ditch his surname as a form of silent protest against fate, which he owes to childhood angst as well. he has since then accepted that the act was meaningless, but he's too deep in to take it back.

his real surname would've sounded cooler than conrad, but everyone already knows him by it, so he can't take it back. besides, mister conrad has a nice ring to it.

Day 8: Pokemon Center
his usual sleeping spot, if not the city park or the woods, when he barely had anything besides his pokemon under his name. for a member of a terrorist criminal organization, priam abused free government services to the best of his abilities. he doesn't care if most of the people he interacts with on the daily hates the league if it helps him financially.

he has since then moved on from his previous financial status and has his own apartment now. still, old habits die hard and one can usually find him sleeping on one for an afternoon nap.

Day 9: First Victory
priam inhales so much copium that everything is a victory for him. him getting kidnapped? that's just an express way to becoming independent! rocket giving him a mountain of debt? he's always going to have a goal to chase for! gabite dying? it's a reminder to not get too attached or else it stings bad!

pokemon battles don't mean much since most of his pokemon are geared towards utility and real life applications, but the first win he got when he was being forged into an ideal rocket grunt during his kanto days tasted sweet. it's the first taste of actual validation, and it was addicting for him.

in a true priam sense, he ignores every other opinion besides than his own.

"i want littleroot!" he shouts.

the guzzlord moves, the sound of its footsteps oddly quiet in comparison with its size and presumed weight, and stays near where the grunt symbolizing the choice stood.

he's there for the first time a tree of life appeared, and out of the places where it popped up, littleroot seemed to be the odd one out until this piece of info appeared. he might not understand what exactly velmos knew, but the idea was there.

"i said i'll go 1v100, and i'll do it for this too!"

tl;dr
  • ignores every point made and votes littleroot

SPACE-TIME DISTORTION #11
POSTED ON Oct 2, 2022 3:57:14 GMT
priam conrad Avatar
the entire place was under a shitstorm, like, it's supposed to be normal by now, but it still doesn't cease to amaze priam whenever it happens.

it still felt weird to walk through them, and the tingle on his skin doesn't seem natural at all. it's like he's living a dream again, except you're not supposed to feel things during one but he definitely is right now.

as the panic ensues, priam takes the opportunity to break into one of the expensive cafes whose doors were left wide open by the panic. he goes in and takes a few cake slices for takeout while his zoroark guards, its illusion helping them escape aggression from the wild pokemon.

"aight, i got 'em!" he tells his pokemon as he rushes out. it's cake night for him and tonight. "go, go, go!"

pure and innocent


priam's curry entry


thread summary: priam and bryan go fishing
why is it important?: they talk about their feelings as they fish, one of the rare occasions priam actually opens up. while he holds off a few other details, it's for bryan's best interest.

people were using big words and talking big. too many points are being called on in the topic that it's difficult to pinpoint names associated with each ideas.

from the gist of it, everyone wants to be in the meteor, and consensus towards 's suggestion wasn't unanimous. everyone has ideas of their own. it's too idealistic.

for a moment, he tries to forget about the future. it's not like he has one anyways.

"boss, ya can let 'em do their own thing if ya want."

priam releases his pokemon from its ball, the large pokemon landing in granite cave. father winter gave him enough good memories in that priam's sentimental side is willing to get it drenched in blood.

"i can go 1v100, coach!" he calls on . "woof woof grrr bark bark!"

tl;dr:
  • he is the chosen one
  • guzzlord @ granite cave poggers

the way she suddenly lights up at his presence felt good. he wonders if she's genuine or if it's good manners that make her hospitable to him. he's inclined to believe the former.

"mine changed from the regular one! i've had him for a while now, actually. like years, so i blame everything to the distortion."

the event was still clear in his mind. he had to leave his poor ol' samurott alone for a really short while for personal safety, but at least he turned out safe in the end.

"i didn't actually see him transform into one, but i assume it's just the same as everything else. he doesn't seem to have a different personality either, so i can say he's still the one i own."

he takes a pokeball out. "should i get him out here?"

"a parasite?" he parrots.

he's heard of pokemon being genetically changed before. ultra beast poison was one of the stranger reasons for it, and consequentially, the shadow pokemon, but nothing of it seemed to correlate with a parasite.

"it's not a shadow pokemon, is it?" he pokes further to the subject. "it doesn't seem like one of those zombie pokemon either."

's study comes to mind.

"ooh, maybe some of those weird energies have a hand in this! like infinity or primal or whatever."

as soon as cyg pushes him out of the door, he quickly bolts for the janitor's closet, leaving its door ajar. priam comes back with a wet floor sign and a roll of hazard tape.

the closed door gets jammed with the tape as a warning to his fellow rockets staying at the sub for whatever reason before leaving the wet floor sign in front of it, for a lack of a better alternative.

"there! we did the world a favor with that!"

priam itches to get out of this corridor and get back to what he was doing beforehand.

he doesn't like the plan.

others may have voiced their opinions in support during a recent survey, many of them simply apathetic from the consequences of survival. others simply don't trust the league and are keen on finding their own solutions. either way, most of it stems from a selfish perspective.

subconsciously, priam can't say he supports it.

like a cheer squad, priam leads the voice of the masses below. "fuck the league way!" he shouts from the crowd, hiding himself with the sheer number of participants.

there's no doubt in his mind that league's plan would work, given his proximity to league's science department's people. regardless, part of him is uncomfortable with how it's more likely to succeeding.

the world should just end as it was supposed to be.

priam only seems to be mildly interested in the birds, but he saw the golden ones and he feels the need to get one. gold means first place, and being first place means being awesome. it's just the perfect fit for him and he has science to back it up.

he already has a bunch of birds-- well, he only has one that he always uses, but that was enough for him most of the time. but having one bird isn't good enough! having an extra is fine then he can get them all out and use that birds of the same feather metaphor he always hears. he's not sure what that meant, but it must be good enough if it's turned into a figure of speech.

regardless, he flies up in the sky with his own braviary bird before he chucks pokeballs at the golden bird.
