LEAGUE BARRACKS I

CONCLUSION?

KEEN OBSERVATION starts to unravel what has happened here. while others tend to injured pokemon, one (DEREK HOFFMAN) even taking up the mantle of ferrying it back to be nursed, a foregone conclusion has long passed. something, or someone, is behind all of this. whoever it is proves both frighteningly powerful and lacks the empathy to discern between the weak and the strong.

“this is dispatch!”

the staticky sound of one of the ranger dispatcher’s bleed through someone’s communication device. it stutters now that they’re out in the wild, away from a decent signal.

“we have a situation—rangers back to base. we need—immediately!”

it cannot be said enough that the rangers are an essential service. their work and diligence keeps society safe from the inadvertent challenges that come from a world that embraces wonderful creatures with vast powers. however, such urgency is rarely relayed over their commands. the last known instances was during the POISON PATROLS during the THREE DAY WAR.

before the rangers depart from this scene, they make note of several things:

the same signs of destruction, uprooted ground and broken trees, leads toward MOUNT PYRE. whatever the source, it looks like somethin BULLDOZED its way out of the forest. the same claw marks from before can be seen. a pair of three pronged foot prints leave deep imprints.

a smaller path diverges from the epicenter. it leads to ROUTE 120. despite being small enough to travel through, you notice that branches and undergrowth alike littered on the floor. whoever transversed down this path literally cut through anything in their way. each cut shows the same pattern, clean, perfect, and articulate. small puddles of purple sludge sizzles further down.

and, to only the most observant person, a trail of small footprints lead back to LILYCOVE. they consist of a pair of single dots with a more oval shape point, as if from a pair of high heels. after a good measure, they simply disappear.

OBJECTIVES

• post at least 8 time total.
• at least 1 participant should get the call to return.
• at least 2 participant(s) should investigate the scene again before leaving.
• at least 2 participants(s) should verbalize a new or reinforced hypothesis on what happened.
• as a group, decide which prompt you would want to explore: MOUNT PYRE, ROUTE 120, or LILYCOVE. this will determine part 2 and the finale.
• at least 3 participants(s) should mention what they’ve noticed and will include in their RANGER REPORT.
• optional: whoever posts LAST should compile the details each character would’ve wrote about into a small report to submit icly.

THERE IS NO ANSWER to their questions. no obedience to their demands. just the motionless stillness of the orb’s image.

all around them, sparks continue to fly, cackling as their intensity grows. it all culminates into a wild storm of wind up until the orb pops. poof! just like a certain batch of pokemon, the avatar breaks apart. nothing remains.

an eerie quietness overtakes them, ripe with stillborn air. eventually, the RED SPHERE rises.

those in possession of a MYSTERIOUS CHARM will see their accessory light up. however, not all of them share the same brilliance. those who have successfully activated their charms will notice that theirs radiate especially bright. those who have yet to confront an UNUSUAL CHARM will find theirs dull in comparison.

like a compass, all of the UNUSUAL CHARMS start to point at a single MYSTERIOUS CHARM. it starts with Eris Halla, then Summer Atreides, and transitions to Serena Malcolm. after that, it seems to point to FORTREE, with no real explanation before they all go limp, subjected to gravity once more.

those present will be able to see the following letters on every MYSTERIOUS CHARM.

red sparks start to rip into existence as the situation mirror azelf’s earlier appearance. the bright gems of MESPIRIT glow within the orb before your voice interrupts your consciousness.

THE DARKEST DAY IS ACTIVE.

THERE ARE TWO.

ONE WILL STEAL THE FOUNDATION OF LIFE.

ONE WILL KILL THE APPARITION OF DEATH.
