Plotting Meme: October

[these_balls]

PLOT DISCUSSION

TRAINER TIPS:
→ This is for general, game-wide or location-wide plots, larger-scale player plots, and general plotting ideas. This is not a CR meme.
→ The idea of this post is to help generate discussion, inspire, or plot out overall plots, as well as bounce ideas off of your fellow players and moderators. We will also be letting everyone know the overall ideas of what we'll have coming up, and you can give us input on those as well!
→ Please play nice while discussing things! Remember, it's okay to disagree, but be polite!

MOD PLOTS:
→ A special swarm will begin on the 23rd of October and last until the 28th. More information will be given out soon!
→ The mods are holding a tournament in November. The timeline is currently unknown (it depends on how many participants we have) but we anticipate it going for a good chunk of November!

Ffff I could totally see them doing that. Technically stealing, but who cares when SCIENCE is being benefited? Reid's lucky for that eidetic memory, or else he totally wouldn't remember how to put half this stuff together.

[worktodo]

Pfffffffft. Show me the statute in the codified system of laws that they're breaking. B)

I mean yes they still might have to run like the blazes from Officer Jenny but it's not technically illegal.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Good point. xD Hard to break a law that doesn't exist.

Reid is totally going to be donating time to getting good electric- and ice-type Pokemon to help out with the MRI though. And one of every other type because goddamn he must know how their strengths and weaknesses work. There will be many more creatures than simple Shuckle on this farm of justice. B)

[worktodo]

If all goes according to plan (which it rarely does, but whatever), Albert's going to decide pretty quickly that attempting to do SCIENCE!! out of a hotel room is really kind of unfeasible in the long run and he's getting kind of sick of Nurse Joy constantly hassling him for commandeering the equipment at the Pokemon Center, so hopefully I'll be able to have him over in Kanto and at least getting some preliminary stuff organized within three or four weeks.

And then people can just come visit him ALL THE TIME and show up for holidays and sleep on his couches and it will be awesome.

Also he's getting a hypnodeer. THERE WILL BE HYPNODEER SHENANIGANS, SO HELP ME GOD.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Reid is probably going to want to settle somewhere too, since stability and some semblance of routine is actually pretty important to him. He's probably going to end up near Goldenrod or Saffron since he's most familiar with cities.

Regardless, Reid will be right up there, bugging Albert. Because he's probably not going to have room for an MRI/FMRI at his place, so it's totes going in Albert's basement. Hope you like Reid, Albert, 'cuz you'll see a lot of him. xD

...I want hypnodeer shenanigans. @.@

[worktodo]

YES, SEE. GOOD BOY. SENSIBLE BOY. THIS IS WHY ALBERT LIKES HIM. Cities are infinitely superior to places that are not cities.

I'm guessing Albert will probably end up in either Saffron or Celadon, though I'm growing kind of partial to Saffron just because then he's only a train ride away from Johto and that's kind of canon, to be close but not constantly present and to generally show up like a boss every time the day needs to be saved.

Also then people can hop the Midnight Express en masse and come to harass him on Thanksgiving and Christmas.

THAT'S IT, HE'S GETTING BUNK BEDS. ALL THE GUEST ROOMS NOW HAVE BUNK BEDS.

Also someone should go catch the smooch-friendly hypnodeer running around the Ruins of Alph just to perpetuate the terrible joke even further.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Yo, I just realized something: Reid is like a insanely genius combination of younger!Coop and younger!Albert. Weird.

If Albert settles in Saffron, Reid will probably settle there too, mostly because he doesn't really have a preference and it'd make it infinitely easier to work together if they lived in the same city. (Although unfortunately, it'd be harder to cover up the fact he has things like a horribly fucked kneecap and terrible migraines if they live close together. Reid doesn't like talking about things like that. :< )

What is up with that deer anyway? I have no idea how that joke started. xD

[tapestodiane]

HELLO I was summoned to share this with you because this is all the explanation you will ever need.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

What is this beautiful thing I am seeing I don't even

[tapestodiane]

Only the weirdest show you will ever lay eyes on

:I



also hi you are COMPLETELY ACCURATE in that Reid is basically a Coop/Albert mix and this is why he's getting adopted into the family, naturally. And while I'm here I'll take the opportunity to toss Coop up for any assistance Reid and Albert might need - he works pretty closely with Albert anyway so Reid will probably see him around a lot.

And if you ever need psychic advice this is the guy to go to, so you know, just FYI.

[worktodo]

Also we needed a Team Pet.

This was a thing we needed, obvs.

[tapestodiane]

Well yeah. Since pokémon aren't good enough for Albert.

[worktodo]

The Pokemon don't have eidetic memories and offer to help with the pursuit of SCIENCE!! without being under Albert-induced duress.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Reid's the pet now?

He'd like to know if he's required to wear a collar.

[worktodo]

The badge will suffice perfectly well, Fido.

ANYWAY getting back to srs discussion meme, it's my goal to have Albert installed in his Justice Farm before American Thanksgiving at the latest, and obviously he'll be in contact with Reid before then, so we can figure out the general shenanigans of housing prospects and who's getting where along the way, interspersed with copious amounts of SCIENCE!!

And possibly at least one thing blowing up, I am going to be severely disappointed if we cannot find at least one opportunity to blow something up like the Johto version of Mythbusters.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

I doubt Reid will settle immediately, because he's become really attached to Mio and he wouldn't want to leave her just wandering on her own. Reid feels like he should be a responsible adult. Depending on what happens there, Reid will probably settle later than Albert, but he'll still probably bug him periodically about SCIENCE matters.

Yes, we must blow something up. I don't care if someone gets arrested. Blowing up is a thing that must happen. :I

[worktodo]

WHY DO YOU THINK ALBERT LIKES HIM SO MUCH. Although I have plenty of jokes about Albert's misspent youth, too, considering he was in Robocop as a moderately corrupt executive and there was a scene that involved him snorting cocaine off a hooker's chest which, y'know, I couldn't possibly let something like THAT go by without incorporating it into my hilarious not-headcanon. (Also young!Coop played an actually-an-alien FBI agent once so young!Albert builds Robocop and young!Coop is an alien, go figure.) NOT THE POINT.

gdi reid they don't have to talk about it albert is perfectly happy to just have you shut the hell up while he fixes it just like he fixes everything else in the damn world etc etc.

Also I see Din has arrived with the llama gif.

It's totally canon.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

Ffff Albert was a coke fiend and Coop was an alien. Reid was a chipmunk and a supermodel, so they can swap stories about weird young!shenanigans.

Reid would love you forever if you could fix it, Albert, but he'll have to give you a hearty 'don't waste your time :| '. The kneecap issue comes from getting shot in it when Reid was using himself as a human shield for a victim (and then told said victim, who was an ER doctor, to save the guy who shot him instead of his leg), and seeing as it's already healed up like that, there's not much that can be done. And no doctors have been able to find any physical reason for Reid to have migraines, and since painkillers don't affect it either, they think it's psychosomatic (and Reid totes thinks it's a symptom of schizophrenia). So yeah, there's a reason he likes to keep a lid on those things. (Wow, this kid is messed up.)

WHAT WAS THAT LLAMA EVEN DOING

[worktodo]

A coke fiend who built Robocop, thank you very much. If that's not street cred I don't know what is.

Also gdi what is it with all you kids and getting shot. B|

CLEARLY IT JUST NEEDS MORE HYPNOSIS. Or, y'know, Pokemon science. I wouldn't put it past some Pokemon out there to have some kind of mystical ooze that magically cures all migraines regardless of cause when you take it. ...Or judicious application of HYPNODEER.


THAT LLAMA IS SMOOCHING COOP. BEHOLD THE MAJESTY THAT IS THEIR CANON. I mean yeah there's some context about them being in a vet's office doing some investigative work but the important part is SPONTANEOUS LLAMA SMOOCHES and KYLE MACLACHLAN JUST KEEPS ROLLING WITH IT.

[leftinbasketforfbi]

He can't help it if he's a living bad luck charm. :<

The worst part is that that'd probably work, but Reid's all busy being like 'NO ONE CAN KNOW I MIGHT BE CRAZY 0.0 ', so it might take a verbal kick to the head before he actually gets any help.

OMG That wasn't planned?! Fff that woman in the back just totally cracked up. That is me right now.
