[There is a completely not suspicious man with a coat and fedora sitting at a cafe table out on the patio of the main building, tapping his finger as though he's waiting for either someone he knows to walk by or a waiter to at least take his order. He was dragged here out of nowhere against his say; the least this place can do is offer him a cup of coffee on his arrival. The days of living in luxury for him are long gone, but it doesn't mean he can't expect some standards.

Well. He pretty much has all the time in the world now. Waiting a bit longer won't be a problem, and the weather is rather pleasant.]

beatensoul

[An Ethan and Lyra have set up shop in the housing room's neighborhood! Right in front of one of the houses - which they're totally using for their own. They're both dressed like Nursery Aides, probably because...

They're running a Daycare Service for Pokémon! Ethan has experience, with his grandparents running the one in Johto, so he's doing most of the talking.]

Are your Pokémon tired? Then come let them play and rest at the only Daycare Center in this place! [Run by two kids?] Don't give me that look! I'll have you know I'm very responsible, and we won't even charge you any money! Unless you're Silver.

[Lyra's quick to nod along with his words --] You can count on us!

[Ethan grins and slams his hands on the table in front of him, serving as a temporry desk.] So please, leave your precious Pokémon with us!

[OOC: Replies will come from both Ethan (

beatensoul) and Lyra (

beatenheart) unless you specify whether you want one or the other!]

goldjr

[Eww, sandy beaches! Well, Gold Jr ~~Scarlett Maryann~~ likes beaches, just not in her nice journeying clothes instead of her swimsuit. She tries to brush off the sand, walking out of the beach-- what the heck, a beach room? ...Whatever, she'll look at that later. As she walks through the facility, she's trailing sand, most of it brushed off of her clothes or pulled out of her pockets. She even pauses to take off a boot and dump the sand onto the hallway floor, she doesn't care.]

Humph... I wasn't supposed to come over here. What even is this place?

gottasketchemall

[He supposes he should be a little more concerned about trying to figure out where he is, or how he ended up there in the first place. And part of him was, concerned with wanting to contact Professor Oak and let him know he was okay.

But as he wandered around the facility and ended up in the Pleasant Forest Biome, he caught sight of several wild Pokemon, and couldn't quite help himself. Besides, after walking around for a while, there wasn't anything wrong with a break.

So currently he sat under the shade of a tree, sketching any Pokemon that happens to catch his eye. He's already on another new page...he may have to get a new sketchbook pretty soon.

Maybe there's a place around here he could get one....]

((OOC: Feel free to say hi while Tracey's drawing. He'll be doing that for a while, hehe))

team_eevee

[Virgil sighed, rubbing the back of his head as he and Eevee wandered through the corridors of the lab.]

Well...we're definitely not in any of our training facilities...

[Eevee gave an affirming noise, and Virgil turns back to glance around again, making a mental note of where they've been and to keep track of where they were going.]

I wonder if there's anyplace I could check in at home...

shirimasen

[Ah, high school.

A truly wonderful and inspiring time for all. With the school year starting, faceless students mingling about and chatting -- catching up over their summer, or grabbing their friends to congratulate them on getting into the world's top Pokémon Trainer's School -- with the cherry blossoms spinning in the wind from the rows of them lining the school's beautiful golden gates...

Yes, there's truly nothing better!

Except for perhaps the middle school just beside this beautiful campus; there's a small lake between them where the grades intermingle, and the excitement of the day - and maybe even the bell ringing to signify classes, lunch, or break! - is vibrantly in the air!

Just be careful that the principal doesn't see you with your Pokémon out! That would distract the other students, after all...]

[ooc: welcome to the high school au room! also middle school, if your character's not quite aged enough. with uniforms, cheery blossoms, and the exciting promise of an excellent spring for all classes and grades, it's sure to be a blast!

please mingle and thread amongst yourselves, and have a great time! if it's school au, it's free to go!]

maskedevolver

[Teleport usually gets her back to where she needs to be, but today it's only transporting her to various parts of the lab. She's growing more and more frustrated - she had to get back to the Mask of Ice, dammit, she couldn't waste time here! - with every false hope.

She grows quite a bit cheerier when she finds people, because people have information - and that's exactly what she requires.]

Excu~se me! [She'll call, when she and her Abra teleport in sight of another person. Or Pokémon. Whichever comes first.] Do you have a moment to answer some very, very important questions of mine? I promise I'll make it worth your while!

tidaldrum

[Stop! Look around! Wherever you were, you aren't there anymore -- you're in a music room now. There's instruments and sheet music, but most important of all is when you start to ask what the fuck am I doing here, you won't be saying it --

You'll be singing it.

Have no fear, people with particularly terrible voices; to help smooth your experience, an instrument's sounds will come out instead! Catered to each character, of course.]

[ooc: mingle post mingle post mingle post! no matter how terrible your character's voice is!]

oncelunarian

"There was a sparkle of light, in enclosed darkness. A daydream, forgotten, or turned into a nightmare? Regardless its shift, it became a strange dream, one out of seemingly nowhere. It traveled to other worlds, tempting fate and leaving destiny hung out and dry. It was a legend befit to touch us all."

[ As if these words were tied in a nice and sweet poem or thought-wait this IS your thoughts they're prying into. Telepathy. Strangely enough, they seem like utter idle musings. They are not directed at you, as if 'thinking aloud' could be exaggerated any more than this, it's a quite fitting scenario. The words belong to a pokemon of the moon lore, one thought a guardian of sorts, no, believed. Their expression is scrunched with confusion and distraught, they are quite lost, and don't know where they are. These halls...these halls are vast. ]

"...this area is unknown to me...are you there anymore...I can't see you...where are you?"

betabangs

Heeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

[She counts to three, then cups her hands around her mouth again and --]

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellloooooooooooooooooooooooo?

[It's ringing down every hallway. Fuck yeah echoes.]

For a place that's supposed to be a Lab, it's sure is [Deep breath, girl!]

Emmmmmmmmmptyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

forprofit

[Being a criminal under a Team-something makes it very easy for you to get sick and tired of all these hat-wearing brats running around. If he's going to be stuck here, he doesn't have to put up with it.

So Archer's escaped to the forest biome for the evening and taking his loyal Houndoom out for a walk. This place is pretty nifty for what is supposed to be a scientific chamber or whatever they're trying to sell it as - but it does come equipped with trees, bushes, and even berries that might even be safe to eat.

Archer would like to pick some of those berries for his Houndoom, except the trees above seem to be infested with highly clumsy Caterpie. One chooses to fall on top of Archer's head when he tries to reach for a berry bush. Oh, nature is deplorable. He peels the squirmy creature off and raises it up, looking like he's about to throw it down.]

bellfire_bird

[Even the island had been a little less weird than this. It did...things, sure, but most of the time it resembled a fairly normal landscape and didn't go too crazy with the warp...doors...business.

Seriously, fuck warp doors.

Especially when the Pidgeys ditch you and one door closes behind you and leaves you standing in pitch darkness. Cool, moist pitch-darkness, with the sound of dripping water echoing as though through a long tunnel.

Ew.

Ho-oh figures, well, why not shed some light on all this? So he calls up a little flickering flame in the palm of his hand, looks around himself - yep, some kind of watery cavern.]

...Hello?

[He waits. Ten seconds pass. He takes a few steps forward (cringing at the feeling of water rising around his feet) and tries again.]

HELLO?

[Echo, echo. There's silence, then...a rushing wave of fluttering and squeaking noises.

Ho-oh holds up his flame and looks up towards the source of the sound.

....Oh, shit.]

[[Welcome to the room of annoyances. A cave level with alternating patches of water and land, winding labyrinthine tunnels with more dead ends than good ends, hordes of Roggenrola and Tentacool and Zubat to keep you company. And you're all out of Repels and Escape Ropes, too...

(ALSO INEXPLICABLE ONE-WAY LEDGES no shortcuts allowed)

Ho-oh is being chased through the caves by a large swarm of angry Zubats. He could use some help or company.]]

legalteammom

[There's nothing special about this room. Honestly!

... Except for the candy and cupcakes, maybe? Giant cakes, too. Some video games and comics...

This looks like some kid's room. Crystal can't figure it out.

(But she's starting to want to stop being so serious and start, you know...

acting like the thirteen year old she is?]

[ooc: mmiingle! a room that makes your character act more and more immature! works best on the super serious types, or those kids trying to act so cool and above it all.]

howdoipokemon

[A train has already arrived. If you board the train and follow it?

There's a whole Gear Station! The staff are available, too. They're handling many different parts of the station.

1. The Entrance: Jackie (hikikometro) is hovering around it, considering whether or not to board the line and explore. He's noticed the most radical difference in the Gear Station, after all, since he grew up with the Gear Station...
2. The General Area: Isadore (pickaroad) is bouncing between everything going on! Surely, if anyone can give you advice and help direct you, this friendly-looking man can?
3. The Front Desk: Ramses (passthestation) is sitting at the front desk, or was. He is looking rather put out, with the chaos of change... but he's not exploring beyond that. Not really.
4. The Gates: Cloud (gohome) is trying to unlock some of the closed doors, which are all the doorways into the other loading stations. He's quite in a bad mood, though perhaps the friendly-looking Furze (trainflu) will answer anyone's questions.
5. The Break Room: Cameron (howdoipokemon) is constantly peeking in and out of the break room. It does say "employees only", but... the guy in there certainly doesn't look like he'll be up to the task of kicking ne'er-do-wells out.

There's plenty to explore... feel free to approach anyone and anything.]

aintseennothin

[The goofy Team Rocket pool is covered in cute blue balloons, but Yellow's not there, really. In one of the back rooms, there's surely a stack of presents from other Rockets, right? But Yellow wants to deliver hers personally. She's got a big brown bag she's carrying, the colorful ribbons and bows sticking out from the top of it.]

Bluuuuueeee, where are yooooouuu~?

[She is even looking for Blues that aren't her Blue! She is prepared for everything.]

spiritcrystal

[Keeping Up With the Next Generation: An All-Purpose Guide to All That Stuff Those Kids From Other Regions Keep Talking About.

That's the name of the book Kris is reading in some weird and strangely specific library. Some other hits she sees in the shelves are How (Not) to Deal With Meddling Kids in Caps, It's Not All Black and White, The Series of Guys That Cramped My Style And Messed With My Social Life, and Hot Enemy Problems: Part 1.

But it's a large library. A huge library. The possibilities are endless... and very specifically tailored to everyone's needs.]

[ooc: Aaaand mingle post! Go ahead and comment/tag around!]

convivencia

[ On the edge of the Pleasant Forest biome, there's the typical sight of a trainer and her group of Pokémon clustered together and... having lunch? The creatures chowed their food down with gusto, and the girl herself chewed and gulped down a meal of berries, milk and crepes. While Haruka has no clue of how she actually ended up in this mysterious research facility, she had no particular qualms about exploring what was hidden behind its many, many doors. It wasn't like she had any pressing business to take care of back home, so she felt she could stand to be patient for a bit.

That could wait however, until after lunch. Her Pokémon weren't invincible and there was no reason to push them needlessly.

... Still.

Haruka would really like to know which region she was even in.

Because she's awfully certain that hallways in general aren't suppose to disobey the laws of time and space like that.

Pretty much everybody and their mother can feel free to stroll up to her. ]

50shadesofellipses

[Most people have seen the big red button and haven't really tampered with it!

But Leaf... she's curious. Burningly curious. But you shouldn't press strange buttons. Strange, solitary buttons, with nothing apparent they're hooked up to...

Is it a psychological experiment?

Leaf is so curious.]

[One of the many, many rooms housed in the research facility opens up to a subway platform! It's just your average station... though maybe a bit better-kept: a vending machine stands in one corner, potted plants keep the atmosphere calm, and the floor is well-swept. Pretty standard fare for anyone used to Unova's Subway system.

Except there are no trains coming. The tunnel on either side of the of the platform stretches on into darkness; sure, you could enter it, but all the signs for safety say that is a Very Bad Idea. You wouldn't want to cross the yellow line, would you?

Hopefully not, because sooner or later a single subway train will rumble down the tunnel. When it lets its passengers off, there's only two riders-- a very calm Hilbert and a very jumpy Nate. Nate hops across the gap between the platform and train and runs into the station, chattering all the way. Hilbert follows behind in a leisurely manner as the train runs off into the darkness again.]

And you really gave that Clerk guy's Braviary a good one-two! It was great! And! And! Hilbert, didja see when Arcanine got that guy's Gallade? Wasn't it a real smart move there?

Mm, yeah. Pretty cool stuff and all.

I know! And-- Saaay, what's this?

[Nate has now found the door into the hallway. He pauses like a startled deer~~ling~~, eyes as round as dinner plates, then begins hopping up and down on each foot in excitement.]

Hilbert! Hilbert! Look! We got off on a new stop! Ingo an' Emmet ain't said nothing about this! C'mon! Let's go check it out!

Careful, there. [Hilbert is entirely unruffled by this development, tuckng his hands in his pockets and tilting his head to one side.] Don't go running into anyone.

[Nate may or may not listen to Hilbert's words of wisdom; good luck to you in that endeavor. Feel free to start to talk to either of them; they will both eventually show up in the thread.]

aspertiations

[There's a show going on today, and you're invited. To be more exact, there are multiple shows - movies, really - going on in a theater-esque room not too far from housing. There are romances! There are heroes! Ninjas! Aliens! And many, many more!

All starring a certain young man, who - accompanied by his azumarill - are waiting to shove people in to see the movies and ask them questions about it when they come out.]
