Lighthouse explosion?

[bellyshirt]

While I'm here, I might as well post this. Here's an explanation link!

Basically, Kato is tricking Luke into blowing up the lighthouse on the weekend of the 25th. Anyone seeking to participate should post over at Kato's post; there's also an IC post from Luke that characters can respond to.

Any suggestions or ideas welcome!

[artfuldestruction]

OK SO GUYS

Kato here will be made of SMUGGGG once he accomplishes his shenanigans with Olivine Lighthouse, so I want to bring him down a few pegs.

Basically, he's got this troll of a Deino that's going to be a Hydreigon in a few weeks, and when it evolves to its final form it's basically going to crack the shits and smash up that pretty machine he spent so long building. Commence manpain.

What I'm wondering is if anyone in TR was keen to battle the Hydreigon when it goes on a rampage/yell at Kato for being an irresponsible dumbass! NOTHING LIKE DOING SOMETHING RIGHT AND THEN SCREWING THINGS UP AMIRITE

So basically, I would love to plot some TR stupid :3b

[artfuldestruction]

luke why would you blow up the lighthouse

you terrible person

kids these days

[bellyshirt]

y-you traitor...

Dist's highest leveled Pokemon is like 30 so he's going to be no help in trying to KO the Hydreigon but...

yelling is always nice. c:

Also lots of, "that Hydreigon sure is exactly what you said it would be. In all the wrong ways."

JOHTO RESEARCH TEAM

[enjoymyatelier]

SO HEY when I was reading the CR meme I noticed that we have quite a few science-y types who are interested in investigating the setting and trying to figure out this place's weird mysteries! So, I think it would be a pretty neat idea if there could be some kind of IC organization to it. I know Team Rocket has the science division, but there are several non-Rocket characters like Kayneth and Twilight Sparkle who have been pretty diligent about looking into things, so I was thinking that something a little more neutral might be a fun thing to do.

What do you guys think? I could probably have Kayneth propose it ICly at some point, if you dudes think it's a good idea. I know there's a lot about Johto that isn't really intended to make sense to the characters and that some investigations will turn up jack shit, but hey, the characters don't know that, and that's half the fun!

[gandere]

Great, just what Kayneth needs. Another thing to be a pretentious ass about.







This is a great idea and you should feel good for suggesting it regardless of my snark.

[enjoymyatelier]

Of course he needs another thing to be a pretentious ass about!

There are never enough things he can be a pretentious ass about.

[ex_ridden244]

He could be a pretentious ass about his pretentious ass alright.

[enjoymyatelier]

we have to go deeper

[ex_ridden244]

Training Center: Opening Soon!

[islandshore]

Well, after months of hard work and labor, Riku's Training Center is going to be opening very soon. I'm still trying to decide on an exact date, but hopefully before the month is over. It mostly depends on my school schedule.

Anyway, here are some of the attractions that'll be available. I plan on adding more depending on IC interest, but I figure this is a good place to start.

Now all he needs are employees. Right now, it's mostly Pokémon doing the work, and while they're certainly helpful, he's gonna need more than his team to pull the string. If anyone is interested, he'll probably be doing a network post asking for workers sometime soon.

Thoughts, questions, etc? I'm all ears.

[enjoymyatelier]

SHIT!!!!

Bad Movie Night

[urbaninja]

So, I'm hoping to get this up on the OOC comm shortly, but I might as well preview it here and get some more ideas.

Basically, Barney has decided that everyone needs a night off between all the crazy stuff happening. And after a conversation with Heather has decided that a night of bad movies and riffing them is just the way to do that. (As it seems Johto has an seemingly endless supply of terrible movies. In a so bad it's good way.)

What I have so far:
-It'll take place in whatever City Barney is in presently, and will have the option of having people be flown in.

-It'll basically be a big open log for people

-Barney would want it to be an 18+ event because of alcohol, not movie content. I figure I'd split it into two threads, one for a more kid-friendly no alcohol one that takes place earlier, and one for the adult side with alcohol which would take place after the kids leave.
However, posting in either is welcome, and I won't be policing too heavily. It'll be up to everyone's discretion and remember that IC actions will result in IC consequences.

-There will also be subthreads for movies containing a title and brief summery. Beyond that, everyone is welcome to figure out what the heck is happening in these movies.
Also if you have any ideas for movies please suggest them.

Questions/Comments/suggestions?

[enjoymyatelier]

This is a fantastic idea and I wish I had a character who would get in on it.

So I think I'm going to suggest The Room because seriously, what is a bad movie night without The Room?

[urbaninja]

Thank you :D

Yes, The Room, or at least a pokemon version of it, will definitely be present.

[saxsongs]

Ren's highest Pokémon is 35, so there's not help from here either.

... but he will laugh somewhere.

Yes. That he will do.

[worktodo]

I...don't know if I can promise that Albert would willingly get in on this sob he is so grumpy, but he's definitely going to be doing the science research thing with a particular focus on how Pokemon food/berries/byproducts affect humans when consumed — Paras mushrooms, sleep powder, Blissey eggs, the berry assortment, stuff like that. It might take some IC shenanigans to get him to grudgingly share his research and cooperate with an IC organization, but we could probably work it out somehow?

[enjoymyatelier]

Oh god, that would be so rad. I would love to work this thing out, though I'm not quite sure what kind of badgering would work here, haha.

[worktodo]

Yeah, that's my problem, too — I have no clue where to even start with something like that. Maybe appealing to his sense of justice or the idea that it'll Help People™ somehow? Albert's generally pretty good about Snuffing Out Evil and serving justice and stuff. Assuming it's not preachy and everyone gets the hell out of his way and so on.

Also I've been thinking of having him put out a bounty on some of those Pokemon (because like hell he's gonna go catch them himself), so maybe that would be an in for getting them to start talking about it?

[enjoymyatelier]

Hmmm yeah! Since it's definitely something that could Help People, even if it's just newbies getting used to the setting and learning to survive on the routes and stuff.

And yeah, that sounds like a good plan.

WANTED: BOUNTY HUNTERS

[worktodo]

Okay, so. This isn't an impending plot by any means, but I still figured I'd put it out here to gauge possible interest in it, and better structure my plans from there.

So Albert, being the current contender for Worst Pokemon Trainer Ever™, is a pacifist who intends to catch exactly no Pokemon and will never battle them ever. That said, there are some Pokemon I'd like him to acquire eventually, which means I'm gonna have to get creative with hilarious shenanigans for how to put them on his roster. Which leads me to this thing:

POKEMON BOUNTY HUNTING

Want to make an easy twenty bucks? Go catch a Shuckle and send it to Albert. Trip over a Blissey on one of the routes? Ship it off to him and he'll drop some cash on you for it. Obviously I'm not aiming to overdo or abuse this by any means, but being that he's really not inclined to go out and commune with nature for 3+ weeks to acquire some of these things, I'm constantly on the lookout for different venues through which to achieve the ~true Pokemon experience~.

So basically, this is just sort of a preliminary "would anyone be interested in participating/taking advantage of something like this?" inquiry! o/
